Mount Tai was called Fupen Mountain in ancient times, also known as Luofu Mountain, and later renamed Mopan Mountain. The top of the mountain is as flat as the moon, surrounded by seven hills, which used to be called the seven-star arch moon. Zhongtai Mountain is adjacent to Xingyun Lake in front and Seven-Star Pagoda in the back. The snail shells overlap, the surroundings are flat, the middle is towering, the ancient trees are towering, and the scenery is beautiful.
In the first year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (1644), more than 0 monks from Henan Province passed by Mount Tai, and saw that Mount Tai was a treasure-house for developing Buddhism, so they decided to build a temple here to worship Buddha. They spent money on lent, bought firewood and hired people, and built the back hall (Samsung Hall) of Taishan Temple and the pig temple, the God of Wealth temple, the Dongyue temple and the Dizang temple on both sides for monks to read Buddha and stay. Later, the number of monks gradually increased, occupying the whole Luofu Mountain.
In the thirty-third year of Kangxi (1694), the Taishan Temple was rebuilt, and three halls were built next to the Dizang King Hall, which became the Living Buddha Hall. In the cloister in front of the eaves of the main hall, there are two stone dragon columns on the left and right.
In the eighteenth year of Guangxu (1892), Li Pushan of the fishing village won a place in the foreign examination and later became a magistrate. When you go back to your hometown to visit your ancestors, call the government and people of the fishing village and drive away all the monks from other places. With the revenue from public land, the fishing village government successively built two halls (guanyin temple) and three halls (Confucius Temple upstairs and Minglun Hall downstairs) and their wings, built gardens, and set up a Buddhist temple in the back hall (three halls) to lecture with Fu Dingchuan, a fishing village. The existing tablet of Taishan Academy was written by Gao (a native of Xiangcheng, Henan Province), an academic consultant of Yunnan Province, in the 21st year of Guangxu (1895). This is evidence of using Taishan Temple to run an academy.
In the 22nd year of Guangxu (1896), there were three anterooms and three wings on both sides of Taishan Temple, with a courtyard in the middle. In this way, the whole Taishan Temple has formed an architectural pattern of four halls, five partial halls, twenty-six wings and five courtyards.
Taishan Temple has run Buddhist temples, academies, schools, higher primary schools and central primary schools, and trained many talents, such as poems 123400 and Chinese 123400. If you ask Xie Yuan where he lives, a writing style will be inserted by the Wanhua River in Xie Yuan; Yang Jiashan, a calligrapher who won the second place in Panama World Cursive Competition, is simple and vigorous, floating like a cloud and living like a dragon. Fu, a calligrapher with a unique style, and Pu, a modern painter with profound calligraphy and painting accomplishments, both studied and graduated from Taishan Academy.
In the past, Taishan Academy was towering with ancient trees, colorful plaques (existing on the south coast of Yangjiashan), a hundred birds contended and egrets swarmed. The Taishan Academy, which has experienced vicissitudes, is rare and still towering, but the egret has disappeared and the famous association is gone. What is worth comforting is that since 1983 opened Jiangchuan Vocational Middle School in Taishan, fences have been built around Taishan, and strict protection measures have been taken for Taishan Academy. The first hall of Taishan Temple was rebuilt, and the second hall, the third hall and the wings on both sides were dangerous buildings, so they were demolished and rebuilt. All existing ancient trees are protected as much as possible. Over the years, teachers and students in vocational schools have afforested and beautified the whole Taishan Temple year by year. Climbing Mount Tai, although you will never see the old appearance of Luofu Mountain again, you can still enjoy the elegant demeanour of Shuanglong Yu Xiu and Baicao Zhong Ling. Newly planted cherry blossoms, weeping willows, cedars, cypresses and lawns add a lot of beauty to the ancient academy. Taishan Academy has been listed as a county-level cultural relics protection unit and has become one of the tourist attractions in Jiangchuan.
Attachment: Famous League Poems of Taishan Academy
Zhongtai Mountain is bright and clean:
(1) There are stars and moons under the stage and no trees on the mountain. Zhou (Jiangchuan Street)
(2) The figures depicting mountains and rivers in Shuanglong Zhong Ling account for five-tenths of those in Jiang Yi, and the immortals in the temples in both townships are happily spending the third day of February. Li Shizhen (Jiangchuan Fishing Village)
Luofushan's poems:
(1) Luofu Mountain is as round as the moon, and there are seven stars beside the Peilou. Humanitarian flying springs are like scattered springs, and a lake is green. (2) Mount Tai, an ancient tree, can be planted in autumn, and there are strange signs in Jiangzhou's past. The water near Ruyi Bridge is pitiful, and there is a village named Hou.
Mopanshan Changlian: Mopanshan flew for a long time. Except for three mountains, it's finally unique. Looking at the front crossing the sea and the back resting on quicksand, the mirage is illusory, but there is no such change. That's weird. My generation climbed high and looked far, riding the wind and opening the clouds. In mid-January, seven stars arch the moon. Taige rose from the ground just to return to the Five Mountains. Seeing the magnificent weather, it looks like a basin built in ancient times. Now it praises the mansion, but the situation is bun-shaped. Originally, it was a little overlapping and neat, so whoever chooses to win the game will wash his eyes and leave the world empty to enjoy the beauty of Ssangyong and Zhong Ling.
