Introduction to Lingshan Temple: It is one of the earliest temples built when Buddhism was introduced to China and has a history of two thousand years. It was named a national temple during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty; Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, came here to pay incense, and named Chen Dayong, the abbot at that time, as Zen Master Jinbi. The existing main hall has seven floors, including the Heavenly King's Hall, the Patriarch's Hall, the Mahavira Hall, the Dharma Hall, the Chanting Hall, the Thousand-Hand Thousand-Eyed Avalokitesvara Hall, and the Patriarch's Hall. Most of them use a single eaves to raise five or seven frames, with single and double steps leading out from the hall. There are dozens of short wing rooms on both sides of the central axis building. There are more than 30 monks and residents. On the first day of the third lunar month, there is a temple fair, and tourists flock to the mountain to worship.
