According to Wanli's "Qiantang county annals · system of discipline", Dongming temple is in front of Dazha mountain in Anxi, where jianwenjun is a monk, and there is a portrait. After the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu, Zhu Yunwen, the emperor's grandson, ascended the throne as emperor Jianwen. Four years later, Zhu Di, king of Yan, conspired to counter attack and occupy the capital. The unfortunate Jianwen emperor wanted to drink his sword and commit suicide. He was stopped by the Minister Wang Yue. According to Liu Bowen's plan, Qiao disguised himself as a monk and fled in a hurry. It is said that emperor Jianwen came to the ancient road mountain in Anxi, just when the purple light was shining, the East was white. Looking around the mountain, it looks like a golden dragon. The mountains lying horizontally in the middle are just like the back of the Dragon chair, and the peaks entering the clouds on the East and west sides are like the horns of the Dragon chair, forming a pair of arms. The ancient temple stands majestically. The stone steps in front of the temple are the same as those in front of Jinluan hall. What's more, Ruoxi, which is surrounded by mountains and galloping endlessly, is shining with the rising sun. It's like a golden dragon, which makes the helpless sundi sigh. So he went up the mountain to the temple and became a monk. Because Jianwen emperor was just at dawn, the good man changed the name of the mountain and the temple to "Dongming". Unwilling to be lonely, Jianwen emperor planted a sweet scented osmanthus plant in the temple and inserted a clump of peony upside down, "gorgeous spread the imperial concubine dye, and the cultivation end was from shanghuangjia", which put the king of flowers before the rest of the times and gave vent to Jianwen emperor's mood at that time and place. Later, when Emperor Jianwen returned to the palace after Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, the peony was in full bloom, the white calyx and the sweet scented osmanthus were flowing, which was also called strange. What monk Lian Qing of Dongming temple said originally was more detailed and wonderful.

When I came here, I met with a big famine, and the bottom of the pot often boiled white spring. Outside the door, kudzu has no time to reason. He always shrinks his feet to hold the cloud and sleeps. There is no Zen, there is no Tao, the day is green, the tiger and the ape roar. When the door is cold, it's rare, but the iron is different. The gate of the temple is not often closed every day, and the river and the moon are pined and the wind is frequent. Only broken ladle hanging broken wall, more than dream of the world.
