Introduction to Lion Rock: Lion Rock is famous for the Zen Hall of the Second Ancestor and is respectfully called the Immortal Mountain of the Second Ancestor. The Zen Hall of the Second Ancestor has a long history. According to historical records, it was the place where Huike, the second ancestor of Zen Buddhism, and his disciples went to Zen to avoid disasters during the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Huike built a Zen Hall here to spread Buddhism, making Zen Buddhism widely spread in the Jingchu area in western Anhui. The people in the Taihu Mountain area respect and love Huike and his disciples very much. Under their protection, although the Zen Hall has experienced many natural and man-made disasters, the wooden statues of the Second Ancestor in the hall, the stone-engraved couplets, plaques and The 100 copper sticks in the ancestral temple, the Second Ancestor Xianshan Spiritual Lotus Sign Board, the inscriptions, and the incense burner are all well preserved. The natural rocks such as the Chess Stone on the Lion Mountain, the Second Ancestor Cave, the Everlasting Spring, and the Zhuoxitan Lake are also still intact.
