Introduction to Dragon Land: In the 28th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi came to the temple to offer incense and worship Buddha during his southern tour and found a piece of Dragon Land. The whole temple was like a dragon's veins, so he gave Lingjuebao Temple to Jinshan as the lower courtyard, and wrote a plaque inscribed "Lingjuebao Temple" and a pair of pillar-wrapped plaques to remain in the temple forever. It was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, but Longdi is still slowly rising upwards. There is now a plaque written by Master Mingshan and a plaque wrapped around the pillars as a commemoration.
