Introduction to the statue of Master Jiran: Master Jiran worked hard to build temples, manage temple affairs, and teach religious precepts every spring when he served as a supervisor in Qixia Mountain in his early years to cultivate monks. In 1937, when Nanjing fell, Master Jiran stayed in Qixia. With great compassion, he set up a Buddhist refugee shelter in the temple for four months. He rescued more than 23,000 refugees and protected the Anti-Japanese War generals from danger. Called a national hero in Buddhism.
