Historical legend
According to historical records: "in Taibai Li, dongyangtang Township, Taibai Li was named after Song Dynasty, the 11th capital was named after Yuan Dynasty, and the 2nd capital was named after Ming Dynasty. Because of this, the state and the dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, taibaili was afraid to stop at Tiantong street. However, Zhanqi Guangxiu temple was established in the fifth year of Tianfu (940 A.D.) in Shijin (the later Jin Dynasty when shijingtang was founded). We don't know who lived there at that time. Today, the temple is called Huiri temple. "
In the fifth year of Tianfu in the later Jin Dynasty (940), Tiantong temple, which moved 30 li away from Zhanqi, was already full of splendor and incense. Zhanqi is still in the tide, shandaili rare people. In ancient times, monks like to choose to cultivate in the remote mountains. From Tiantong to Zhanqi, there is Daling mountain road. A monk from Tiantong Temple settled here. This is the earliest Guangxiu temple. Because of the sparsely populated, Guangxiu Temple maintained for a period of time, and finally the monks went to the temple to leave the humble cottage floating in the wind and rain.
In the early years of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, the Xie family in Zhanqi baoshutang had experienced six generations since their ancestors started a public foundation. Xie Pei, the Fifth Sun, was named Jingxi. He had outstanding talent and learning, and was well-known outside his hometown. Before leaving home for his post, he asked the people to name the hall "Peide hall", hoping that filial sons and good grandchildren would respect virtue for generations. At that time, Duke weizhai, the son of Duke Jingxi, took over the family affairs of peidetang. Fearing the Duke of Zhai, he was diligent and eager to learn all his life. After the two sons got married, they moved out of the valley and chose to go up to the Baomiao Temple (in the south of the temple) at the foot of the mountain of the Beixi River to build a few rooms for study. Besides farming, he is diligent in studying, cultivates his mind and nature, and enjoys himself. The selected foundation is the site of Guangxiu temple. Since jingxigong went to Fujian to perform his duties, the kind and kind old lady of Xiande stayed in her hometown, and took care of her family. The old lady believed in Buddhism. In her later years, she asked her son to create a quiet place for her to practice. Fearing his filial piety, Duke Zhai vacated his study, decorated it into a Buddhist hall for his mother, and worshipped a Bodhisattva of Guanyin in the South China Sea, which was named "Shanyuan nunnery". Since then, at the foot of the hidden mountain, there have been chanting sutras, chanting Buddha and wooden fish day and night.
Decades after the old lady died, Duke Wei Zhai died at the age of 99. He accumulated all his life experience and deeply felt that the merits of life meditation were boundless. When he was dying, he asked his grandchildren to keep the Buddhist hall forever in the future and not to decadent. According to the will of their ancestors, the descendants gradually expanded the Shanyuan nunnery, and later became the Xianghuo nunnery of the peidetang people, and changed its name to "Huiri nunnery". At this time, there were three Buddhist temples in the middle of the temple, and several squatters were built in the East and West corridors. In addition to the small bamboo forest behind the hall, the courtyard in front of the hall covers an area of more than 5 mu. Since then, Huiri nunnery was headed by monks.
