Huai Su, a cursive master, studied calligraphy very hard. Green Tianan was a famous calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. Huai Su, known as the master of cursive script, became a monk and grew bananas to practice calligraphy.
Lingling County Records: Qingtian Anqing Xianfeng Renzi was destroyed by soldiers during the Renshou period of Tongzhi, and the county magistrate Han Yang presided over the reconstruction. There is a main hall, a banana pavilion on the top, a drunken monk building on the left, and a statue of Huai Su.
A place behind buddhist nun is engraved with the word "inkstone spring", which is where Huai Su grinds ink to get water. There is a "Bizuka" tower in the right corner, where Huai Su's bald pen is buried.
There is a small pool more than 70 steps north of the temple, which is the place where Huai Su washes inkstones. Because of frequent inkstones washing, the water turns black, hence the name "Mo Chi". Huai Su, who had been studying hard for a long time, was buried at the foot of the mountain with piles of bald pens. He is called the "pen tomb".

Zhiyong and "Returning the Pen to the Tomb"
In his later years, Zen master Zhiyong was instructing a little novice monk to practice calligraphy one day. Several young scholars came to the temple to ask the master Mo Bao for writing skills. Zhiyong replied with a smile: "It is not difficult to give words, but there are no secrets. However, I can give you the words' study hard and practice hard'. If you can persist, you will benefit for life. " The scholar was very disappointed.

Master Zhiyong ordered the young monk to open the backyard and lead them to Tallinn in the temple. There is a high grave under a leafy tree. The scholar was puzzled, and the Zen master pointed to the tomb and said, "I have been studying all my life, and this is where I practice calligraphy and polish my head." There is a stone tablet in front of the tomb, engraved with the words "Return to the tomb", followed by the words "Monk will stand forever" and the epitaph written by Zhiyong.
Scholars were surprised to see a huge grave filled with bare pens. Little novice monk told the scholar that the bald pen written by Master was originally packed in five baskets.
