Introduction to Chumi Rock: To the west between the lower rocks behind Fengshan Cave, there is a large rock called "Chemite Rock". Legend has it that in the early years, there was a small hole between the rocks, and rice could automatically flow out of the hole every day. The rice that flowed out would automatically flow out an appropriate amount of rice for meals based on the number of monks and pilgrims in the temple that day. Later, a greedy monk in the temple wanted to get more rice to fill his pockets, so he used a steel drill to drill holes in the rice. As a result, the steel drill was stuck with stone pliers and could not be pulled out, and the hole was sealed. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, Zen Master Pu Xian, the abbot of Baishuiyan, wrote a poem for this purpose and engraved it on the top of "Chumi Rock": "The rice and rocks at the end of the rock used to be the same in the past. It is suspected that the Lingshan Mountain has been separated for one day. It has been passed down for five generations that it came out from now on. How long will it take to wait for an empty lock?”
