Introduction to the Feilai Bell: The large iron bell of the Song Dynasty in the Stone Buddha Cave, also known as the "Feilai Bell", was built by Zeng Shouzheng, a craftsman from Fuzhou, Jiangxi, in the third year of Tiansheng in the Northern Song Dynasty (1025 AD). It weighs about 1 tons, 1.8 meters high and 1.2 meters in diameter. The clock face is inscribed with the words "The first month of the year of Yichou in the third year of Tiansheng of the Emperor Song Dynasty (1025 AD)" and "Forged by Fuzhou craftsman Zeng Shouzheng". It has been in good condition for nearly a thousand years. How this bell came to the temple has not been recorded in the thousands of years of Nanshan history, making it an unsolvable mystery.
