Kaishan old hall

Kaishan old hall

In the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty, shizizhengzong temple was destroyed twice by war. After the completion of Chanyuan temple in the early Qing Dynasty, the incense was moved to the foot of the mountain, and the former site was called Kaishan old hall.

In 1928, Xu Shichang wrote "big tree hall". In 1935, Hu Shi wrote a couplet by hand: there was some evidence, some words, being a monk for a day and hitting a clock for a day. In 1985, ye Qianyu wrote "Kaishan Laodian" in calligraphy. The Zhongtang couplet "the end of Tianmu Lingshan depends on the development of predecessors, and the natural treasure house depends on the management of those who come". It is written by Zhang Xueli and written by Guo Zhong

Lion Zen bell

The "lion Zen bell" was first refined in the fifth year of Yanyou (1318) of the Yuan Dynasty. It was made of ten thousand jin bronze collected by local temple monks in Tianmu Mountain. It is made of bronze, with a diameter at breast height of 1.8 meters, a height of 1.18 meters and a weight of 485 kg. In addition to doing Buddhist work, the "lion Zen bell" also serves as a time announcer for local people. In the 1950s and 1960s, the old clock, nearly a thousand years old, was smashed into scrap copper in the tide of "steel making for all" and put into the hot furnace of "steel making". Since then, the bell of Tianmu Mountain has been "silent" for half a century. The day before yesterday, "lion Zen bell" began to reappear the great sound of the past, resounding again in Tianmu Mountain.
