Introduction to Shengshou Temple: On the hillside of Lingkong Mountain, there is a platform where the ancient Shengshou Temple is located. According to historical records, Li Kan, the fourth son of Emperor Yizong of the Tang Dynasty, took refuge here due to the Huangchao uprising and became a monk. After the death of the crown prince, he was named "Senior Teacher Bodhisattva". In the second year of Jingfu's reign in the Tang Dynasty, the Zen Master's Temple was built, and in the second year of Duangong's reign in the Song Dynasty, the "Shengshou Temple" was given to it, which is still in use today. Due to additions and repairs in the past dynasties, the existing temples of Shengshou Temple are no longer the original buildings of the Tang Dynasty. However, its large scale and clever construction make it still a valuable temple complex.
