Introduction to Tie Zhongping: Tie Zhongping is located on the hillside of the east side of Tianzhu Mountain. To the east, you can see Tuitou Creek, Tongtagou and Sengdaoguan in Judge Township. To the north, it is adjacent to the main peak of Tianzhu Mountain. It is close to Qingfeng Ridge, the main ridge of Tianzhu Mountain, and to the south is the Iron Tile Hall of Tianzhu Mountain. In 949 AD, that is, during the Later Han Dynasty of the Five Dynasties, Zhou Qingfeng presided over Taoism in Tianzhu Mountain. He cast three mother and child bells in front of Shuangfeng Temple, each weighing a thousand kilograms. It was the earliest place where bells were cast in Tianzhu Mountain. During every religious ceremony, the bells echo in the mountains and drift into the distance along with the sound of pines and Taoists chanting sutras. And because there is a rare flat land in Tianzhu Mountain, it is named Tiezhongping. Unfortunately, the three ancient bells were destroyed by the rebels during the Cultural Revolution and the thousand-year-old iron bells disappeared. It is a pity.
