The three churches in the temple are dedicated to Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism respectively, and are the only three existing temples in Shandong Province. The Confucian Classics Building in the temple is the place where Liu Xie, a literary theorist and critic in China's history, collated Wen Xin Diao Long.
Ding Lin Temple covers a total area of 4,900 square meters. Although the temple area is small, it is the best in the world, and it is also known as the "king of ginkgo trees" and "living fossil" at home and abroad.
Extended data:
The ancient ginkgo tree stands tall and looks like a hill from a distance, with a magnificent momentum, a canopy like a canopy and several acres of shade. The ancient monument stands under the tree, and the poems are collected, leaving many poems of ancestors.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Juzi, the monarch of Ju State, and Lu Hou, the monarch of Lu State, made an alliance under the ginkgo tree to try to solve this problem. Although the exact age of the tree was not recorded at that time, it was already a "big tree".
For example, during the Sino-Japanese War of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, Chen Libei, who lives in Zhizhou, said that "this tree is over 3,000 years old", which means that it was over 3,000 years old 300 years ago.
The height of the tree is 26.3m, the circumference15.7m, and the crown area is more than 660m2. The roots are crooked and bare and need to absorb 2 tons of water every day. Regarding the circumference of this tree, there has been a saying since ancient times that "big eight hugs, small eight hugs".
"Big eight hugs" refers to people who are tall enough to hug, which happens to be eight hugs; "Small eight hugs" refers to the small hugs, which happens to be eight hugs. It turns out that the trunk of this big tree is thick and thin. In order to prove this point, the author once hugged the trunk twice, and the result was exactly eight hugs thick.
