Buddha. It is a famous Buddhist shrine, and the younger disciple is

meters high, which is equivalent to the height of a 30-storey building.

eyes are wise and kind. The white clouds in the blue sky make people
feel the “moving” of the Buddha. The body of the Lingshan Buddha is
well-proportioned, and the pleats of the clothing are bright and
flowing, and the elegant and elegant makes the distance and
perspective very suitable.

a glass of pure glass, and the back of the mountain is full of
knowledge. The body and the cloud are in the rain, and the eyes are

7. Main Attractions
Mountain Giant Buddha
The location of the Buddha is the Xiaoling Mountain named by Tang
Xuanzang, hence the name Lingshan Buddha. The Lingshan Giant
Buddha was built under the auspices of the former Chinese Buddhist
Association President Zhao Puchu. During the construction of the
Lingshan Buddha, Mr. Zhao proposed the concept of “Five-Five Five
Buddhas” in Shenzhou – with the completion of the Lingshan Buddha,
it was completed. The pattern of the “Five-Five Five Buddhas” of the
Eastern Lingshan Giant Buddha, the Southern Temple of Heaven
Buddha, the Western Leshan Giant Buddha, the Northern Yungang Big
Buddha, and the Central Plains Longmen Big Buddha. As the tallest
open-air bronze Sakyamuni statue in the world, the Lingshan Buddha
has a height of 88 meters, a Buddha body of 79 meters and a lotus
petal of 9 meters. It is welded from 1,560 pieces of 6-8 mm thick
copper siding with a weld length of 35 km, which makes it look like a
seamless coat. The Big Buddha casts about 700 tons of copper, and
the copper plate area is more than 9,000 square meters, about one
and a half football fields. In the construction process of the Big
Buddha, modern high-tech technologies such as advanced wind,
shock, and lightning protection were used. Among them, the lightning
rod was cleverly hidden in the hair of the Buddha. The Big Buddha’s
right-handed day is called “the application of fearless printing”,
which means to remove the pain for the sentient beings; the left-
handed, called “the willingness to print”, is intended to bless the
sentient beings. No matter which position, the Buddha’s “eyes”
always follow the visitors, all of which benefit from the sculptor’s
ingenuity. There are many legends among the people, tourists and
believers, such as the singular image of the Lingshan Buddha when it
was opened, and the auspicious weather of the Prince when it was
opened in the Millennium. The Lingshan Buddha is a large-scale art
treasure that integrates culture, art and religion.
The long ladder leading to the foot of the Lingshan Buddha is called
the “Dengyun Road”. There are a total of 216 grades on Dengyun

8. Avenue. There are seven platforms. From the bottom up, I can see
that the steps are not visible. From the top to the bottom, I can see
that the platform does not see the steps, which means “saving a living
spirit and winning a seven-level floating battalion”. There are seven
giant stone inscriptions in the middle of Dengyun Road, which
constitutes a collection of Lingshan history, which records the
glorious history of Lingshan from the disciples of Tang Xuanzhen, the
glimpse of the Master of the Temple, and the opening of the Lingshan
Buddha. Buddhism believes that there are 108 kinds of troubles and
108 kinds of wishes in life, and it is 216 steps, which means that the
troubles are exhausted and the wish is complete.
An ancient well on the left side of Dengyun Road is called the
“hexagonal well” and the engraved text on the kerf. According to
historical records, Tang Shixiang Fusi Temple is used for the purpose
of sipping drinking, digging a well in the Temple West Tea Garden, a
tea house well. It is said that the tea Saint Lu Yu once tasted the
spring water in the well, and believed that Ganzi is sweet and sweet,
and is highly regarded as one of the top ten famous springs in the
south of the Yangtze River.

9. Kowloon bath
A huge lotus bronze sculpture with a stagnation to be placed stands
on the Kowloon Bathing Square. The huge lotus flower is lifted by
four mighty strong men, the bottom is set against a white round
marble pool, nine dragons and eight different forms. The guarantor
surrounds a huge pool. Lingshan Shengjing’s large-scale music
dynamic group sculpture “Kowloon bathing, flowers and seeing
Buddha” reproduces the story of the birth of Buddha Sakyamuni.
According to the Buddhist text “The Bank”, the Buddha Sakyamuni
can walk and walk when he is born. He walked seven steps in four
directions in the southeast and northwest. Each step, a lotus flower
was opened on the ground. One finger, one finger, said: “The sky is
the world, the only one is the only one.” At this time, there are two
pools of water in the garden. There are nine dragons in the sky, spit
out the water column, and bathe them.
When the music of “Buddhist Buddha” was played, the huge six-piece
lotus petals slowly opened, and a statue of a golden body prince with
a height of 7.2 meters was thrown up from the lotus flower with one
finger and one finger. At the time, a dozens of meters of water
columns were sprayed in the mouth of the Kowloon Bay to bathe the
Buddha statue. In an instant, the square is full of drums and the
fountains are in abundance. The Buddha statue of the prince is
surrounded by a clockwise circle in the giant water curtain, which
symbolizes “flowers to see the Buddha” and “fog light.” As the music
faded, the lotus petals wrapped around the Buddha statue slowly. The
water flowing out of the mouth of the eight groups of phoenixes
around the fountain is for drinking. According to Buddhism, this clean
water is the “eight merits water”, that is, the Buddhist “holy water”.
Around the square is a transfer corridor with a total of 108 prayer
wheels. The prayer wheel is a special instrument for Tibetan
Buddhism to pray for blessings. After one week, it is equal to reading
the scriptures again, and the merits are infinite. It can be transferred
for one week, which means that you have read hundreds of
scriptures, and you have a hundredfold merits and a long life.

It has a strong incense in history and a high-pitched sorghum. It is
known as the “Mountain Lianling, Fajici”. According to legend, the
Tang dynasty Xuanzang Sanzang Master had traveled here, because
the main peak after the temple was similar to that of the Lingtian
Mountain, which was taken by the Western Heavens. The name of the
ancestors was “Xiaoling Mountain”, and the generals of Hangyong
saw Xuan Zang’s so much like this “feng shui”. “Bao Di”, he invested
in the construction of the “Xiaoling Mountain Brake” at the foot of the
mountain, and was the first presiding by Xuan Zang’s big apprentice.
Since the Tang Dynasty, this historical story has been widely
circulated in the local area. In the Northern Song Dynasty Xiangfu
years, the temple was renamed “Xiangfu Temple”. However, the
vicissitudes of life, Xiangfu Temple was destroyed in the war in the
1930s. After the reform and opening up, this ancient temple with a
history of more than 1,300 years was rebuilt, and the abbot was

The demons embossed the story of the Buddha’s demonization. The
whole wall was forged from copper, 26 meters wide and 8 meters
high. According to legend, after three years of asceticism, Sakyamuni
meditated under the Bodhi tree and vowed that “if you can’t
understand the truth of everything in the universe, you will never
leave this place.” In the middle of the sculpture, the Buddha sits on
the ground and touches the ground with one hand. For the “Devil’s
Seal”, the two sides of the Buddha show the devil’s use of power,
treasure, and beauty to lure the Buddha, use the Buddha, and use the
magical demon to threaten the Buddha. The Buddha was unmoved
and defeated the attack of the demon king. After seven days and
seven nights, he finally overcome the obstacles of money, power,
female color, fear, jealousy, etc., and finally realized the real big
sensation, and the heavens and the earth were The vibration. In front

meters wide, and the diameter of the finger is 1 meter, with a total

18. Legendary allusion
Qinglong and Bajiaojing
The octagonal well is the well that the monks in the temple cook to
take water from the laundry. It is called the octagonal well because
the well is in the shape of an octagonal. The octagonal well has a
depth of ten feet and a depth of eight feet. Therefore, looking down
from the edge of the well, the black and black look is not the end. The
common people say that this well passes through the Taihu Lake.
Although the well is in the highlands, no matter whether it is dry or
big, There are so many waters in the well, not bad.
It is rumored that during the Tianqi period of the Ming Dynasty, one
day the winds of the Taihu Lake were raging, and the waves were
high and rainy. All the fishing boats were upside down in the water.
The situation was very dangerous. It turned out that a yellow dragon
came from the East China Sea, and it was awkward in the lake. The
ordinary people can’t go fishing in the lake, and this Huanglong sees
everyone afraid of it, and it has become more and more difficult to
stir up the Taihu Lake. The people who ventured out of the boat were
also destroyed by the ship. The ordinary people had to go to Xiangfu
Temple to enter the incense and seek bodhisattva blessing, and more
and more people, the voice is getting bigger and bigger, and the
Qinglong, who lives in the octagonal well, can hear clearly. This
Qinglong is the god of the lake in Taihu Lake. Because the Taihu Lake
has been peaceful and safe, it has been hiding in the octagonal well to
cultivate self-cultivation. It listens to the crying of the fishermen, and
feels that the octagonal well is not in the water. Therefore, angered
the heart, Huang Long actually dared to go to Taihu Lake to make
trouble, is this not with my Qinglong? See how I go to clean it up.
This evening, the moon was in a hurry, and the people were still
asking for Buddha on the main hall. After the third time, I saw a blue
light flashing through the octagonal well. After a huge sound, I saw
only a healthy dragon and broke out. Going straight to Taihu Lake,
the monks and ordinary people in the temple believed in the

19. connection between the octagonal well and Taihu Lake. This Qinglong
went to Taihu Lake and fought against the East China Sea Huanglong
for a round of nine hundred and eighty, only to defeat Huanglong, and
Taihu Lake restored its former calm.
Early the next morning, everyone went to the octagonal well to see
that the octagonal kerb was knocked over by the angry green dragon.
The kerb that was knocked down fell on the side of the mountain
pass. People called the dragon stone. The octagonal well, also has a
long name of Longjing. It is said that every time the Emperor
Qianlong went to Xiangfu Temple, he would use the water of this
Longjing to make tea in the temple.
Lingshan “Ancient Ginkgo”
There is an ancient ginkgo tree behind the new main hall of Xiangfu
Temple. This ginkgo tree can only be surrounded by four people.
Ginkgo biloba is a living fossil tree in China, and this ginkgo is passed
down from the Tang Dynasty when it was built. It is also very
precious. This tree tree is old and hollow. From the surrounding, the
look is different. The tree is milky. In autumn, the branches are
covered with ginkgo. It is like a starry sky. It is very beautiful. People
say that this tree is a town temple. God tree.
According to legend, this ginkgo has a giant python hidden in it. This
giant scorpion is covered with blue light. It never comes out. It is only
in the middle of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15 every year,
from the upper reaches of the tree, quietly around the temple for a

20. week. I climbed back to the tree hole, and it was like this every year.
It never happened to hurt people. Therefore, seeing the temple in the
Mid-Autumn Festival in August has become a major event in Xiangfu
Temple. Every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, you can see it.
The local bureaucrats thought that it was unlucky. They sent troops to
capture it, but found that the tree hole was hollow and there was
nothing in it. So it was spread for a while. This green dragonfly is a
god, and the good man and the female who went to Xiangfu Temple
are also here. Under the ancient ginkgo tree, I would like to leave.
Because there is no giant cockroach, some people say that there is no
such thing at all, but the monk in the temple said that they have seen
it, because when the harvest of ginkgo is harvested, the giant
scorpion shakes the tree, letting the white fruit fall, saving the monks
from making choices. The bitterness.
Time passed by, the Xiangfu Temple, where the incense was
flourishing, reached the end of the Ming Dynasty. Due to the war, it
gradually declined, and the number of pilgrims became less and less.
The temple also took more than half. In the early Qing Dynasty, it
only barely maintained the endgame, but the giant Every time the
golden autumn ginkgo mature season still comes out. So until Kangxi
four years (1665), there were two strange things happening on
Mashan Island. One was Xiaolanshan Houwan Village. One tiger trail
left Mashan from the lake and the other was the ancient ginkgo. The
giant python did not come out this Mid-Autumn Festival, and it did
not appear again in the second year. The residents on Mashan Island
felt very strange. Later, they came to visit a monk. After hearing this
story, they solved the mystery: On both sides of Xiangfu Temple, it is
Yulong Mountain, Baihu Mountain, and Xiaoling Mountain behind the
temple. The common people called it the tiger’s tail. The green biloba
in the ancient ginkgo and the tiger that went to the lake were the
gods of the two mountains of Qinglong and Baihu. For many years, I
have been guarding the temple of Xiangfu Temple, but now the
incense is getting thinner, and the two gods are helpless, and they are
disappointed.
Everyone listened to the analysis of the tour party, and they all felt
that it was the case, and they were busy asking what to do. You Fang
said that this is simple, just reinvigorate the Zen forest. So the people

21. responded, but after the war, the people were also poor people. The
cost of reconstruction has been difficult to raise. After Haiyang’s Su
Yujing heard about this incident, he felt very magical and felt the
Holy Spirit of Xiangfu Temple, so he donated money to rebuild Fusi
Temple, which began in Kangxi for six years, lasted for nine years
and was completed. Su Zijing deeply felt that there was no way for
the Buddhist monks to visit the Dafa. The horses in the mountains
and the mountains, Xu Dingchen, went around to find the sorghum in
the Lingyan Mountain in Suzhou. He was the master of the dynasty,
and he was invited to the Xiangfu Temple to reopen the law. Since
then, Xiangfu Temple has restored its former prosperity and became
the holy place of Buddhism that is surrounded by good men and
women around Taihu Lake.
Tea St. and Hexagonal Well
In the valley west of Xiangfu Temple, there are half acre of tea
gardens. According to legend, it was planted by the monks of the
Xiaolingshan Temple in the Tang Dynasty. On the edge of the tea
garden, there was a tea pot, and there was a well next to the tea pot,
called the hexagonal well, also called the tea house well. This is the
ancestor of Wuxi tea. The former pilgrim literati, whoever went to
Xiangfu Temple, will go to this tea pot and use this hexagonal well
water to cook tea. Because of the tea fragrance, the people who won
the crystal tea praised it, and it was a must.

22. Legend has it that during the Tang Dynasty, the tea saint Lu Yu
traveled around and visited the famous tea in the world. Hearing that
on the Mashan Island, there was a famous spring tea on the west
button, and he was happy to go to the island to find the love in the
heart. I used the small spring to make tea, and I felt very enjoyable. I
stayed on this island and cooked tea every day. I wrote his “Tea
Classic”, which was passed down through the ages, and also went to
the island to play. One day, Lu Yu went to the faucet to play. After
passing through Xiangfu Temple, he suddenly smelled a strange
smell. When he heard it, he immediately became intoxicated. The
original time was just Qingming. The old tea in the temple was being
processed, and it was smelled by Lu Yu. . He immediately turned
around the horse’s head and went straight to the Xiangfu Temple. He
came to the temple and asked the temple to inquire. He quickly asked
the temple to taste it. The family was compassionate and immediately
accepted his request. Lu Yu not only Tea is obsessed, and at the same
time, the water of drinking tea is also particularly particular. When
you go out, you will bring your own tea. On this day, he brought the
water of the small spring. This spring is famous in the world, but
after the water is bumping on the horseback, the taste of the water
has deteriorated. This Lu Yu is very worried. He is busy asking the
temple, and there is good water in the temple. The answer is that
there is no well dug in the temple, only a spring next to the temple,
the temple is used to cook water for cooking. This Lu Yu’s heart is
cold, but good tea is in hand, how can he let it go, water is not
famous, and quickly asked the follower to take a pot to cook tea
immediately, the water opened a tea, the fragrance overflowed, just
