If the gathering of peaks creates the masculine beauty of the beautiful peaks, then the overflowing springs and waterfalls give birth to the feminine beauty of the beautiful peaks. Dahanyang Peak is densely covered with springs, and the streams are rushing and trickling together, forming a rushing force, and pouring into the Xiufeng and Two Waterfalls eastward. One of them rushed out between Heming Peak and Turtle Back Peak. Because of the narrow cliff mouth, it hung in the air and fell into a deep ravine of tens of feet. This is the "waterfall" described by Li Bai as "flowing down three thousand feet". The waterfall water and Mawei water, which come from the same source but have different currents, rush noisily down the mountain stream, and then merge into the Qingyu Gorge, gathering momentum and rushing straight into the "Longtan". It is widely said that the pond leads to the East China Sea. The water from the gorge suddenly gathered in the "Longtan" and slowly overflowed from a stone gap as smooth as jade. Some people realized that this scene was like "washing jade", so they built a "washing jade pavilion" next to Longtan to highlight its meaning. When the great writer Su Dongpo of the Song Dynasty visited Xiufeng, he once stood in the pavilion for a long time and savored the wonderful scene of the pools and pavilions reflecting each other, the water and rocks grinding against each other, and the alternation of movement and stillness. There is a record in "Qingyu Gorge Washing the Jade Pavilion": The high rocks block the red sun, and the deep valleys come. Sad wind. Opening the Qingyu Gorge, two white dragons flew out. The foam scatters frost and snow, and the ancient pond shakes and becomes empty. The remaining current is slippery and silent, quickly flowing out of the Jade Valley. I can't bear to go, the moon rises and I fly east of Qiaodong. The Silver Palace is swaying, and the Crystal Palace is sinking. I wish to be born in a high school and walk on the feet of a noble man. Holding a jade whip in hand, he jumped into the green water.
Different mountains lead to different waters. The peaks compete with each other and the springs and waterfalls overflow with interest, creating the main theme of the natural beauty of the beautiful peaks. This melody has fascinated countless literati throughout the ages, including princes and generals. Li Jing, the ruler of the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, believed that this place was "a place where immortals and spirits live", so he built a reading hall consisting of the "Yunge Flower Palace" on the mountain, and studied here for many years. In 943 AD, he ascended the throne and soon expanded the old study hall site into a temple and named it "Kaixian", which means the founder of the country and the successor to the ancestors.
Due to the special origin of Kaixian Temple, it was highly valued by various dynasties after the Song Dynasty, either expanded or repaired, so that it has maintained a spectacular and grand scale, and is different from Guizong, Qixian, Wanshan and Hai It is collectively known as the "Five Jungles of Lushan". During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the famous monk Chaoyuan came to take charge of Kaixian Temple. Because of his good management of the temple, he was highly appreciated by the imperial court. In 1703, a volume of the "Prajna Heart Sutra" handwritten by Kangxi ordered minister Zhang Zhidong to make a special trip to the temple to worship it. Soon after, he also wrote a poem "From Champion Jianping King to Climb Lushan Xianglu Peak" to Jiang Yan. In the spring of 1707, when Emperor Kangxi visited the south, Chaoyuan, the abbot of Kaixian Temple, went to Huai'an to pick him up and accompanied him all the way to Songjiang. Kangxi felt Chaoyuan's sincerity towards him, so he took the charm of the scenery of Kaixian Temple and wrote "Xiufeng Temple" as a sign of comfort. At that time, the prince Yinqi also gave a book with the words "Sprinkle Songxue", which was engraved with a stele and stored in the temple. In order to shine on the temple and show the emperor's favor, Chaoyuan and Lang Tingji, the governor of Jiangxi at the time, presided over the construction of the Imperial Library and the Imperial Library. Royal Stele Pavilion and Songxue Pavilion. From then on, Kaixian Temple was called "Xiufeng Temple". Behind the temple is Li Jing's reading desk, which is several feet higher than the temple. Among the stone pavilions with layers of desks, there are remaining purple stone carved railings in the style of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Nearby are the "Seven Buddha Stanzas" and "Inscriptions by Wang Shouren of the Ming Dynasty" handwritten by Song Dynasty calligrapher and poet Huang Tingjian; there are also monuments; The inscription "Ode to the Zhongxing of the Tang Dynasty" handwritten by Yan Zhenqing, a great calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty. Xiufeng Temple was damaged by Japanese artillery fire during the Anti-Japanese War, but the Shuanggui Hall still exists. The two thousand-year-old osmanthus trees in front of the hall are still fragrant everywhere. Longtan is quiet and clean. Stepping into it is like walking into a rich masterpiece, which makes your heart beat. The simple inscriptions are like pages of exquisite chapters.
