Introduction to Digu Temple: The origin of the name of Digu Temple: It is said that during the Northern Qi Dynasty (Northern and Southern Dynasties), there was a wandering eminent monk who came to Laoding Mountain in Shangdang County (Changzhi City) and saw rosy clouds surrounding the mountain, and the scene was charming. , so he wanted to build a temple where Chuxiyun was. Later, due to the raging war at that time, the common people had no food to eat and no place to beg for alms. One day, the eminent monk found a natural cave and found a lot of millet on the ground. The eminent monk looked up and saw a dragon head dripping millet on the cave wall, so he asked someone to take it away. Millet is given to the monks to eat. The next day, the eminent monk came to the cave again and found a lot of millet. This was the appearance of the Buddha, so he decided to build a temple and asked the monks to guard the cave. After several years of construction, the temple was finally completed.
