According to legend, Huili, an Indian monk, came to Hangzhou in the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It is said that Huili, an Indian monk, came to Hangzhou more than 600 years ago. When he saw the Qifeng here, he thought it was a "hidden fairy spirit" and built a temple here called Lingyin.
There is a cold spring pavilion outside the Tianwang Hall of Lingyin Temple. It is said that when Su Dongpo was a satrap in Hangzhou, he often ate and wrote poems in Lengquange.
The peaks in Lingyin area are grotesque and the scenery is absolutely different. Huili, an Indian monk, said, "This is the small ridge of jiusan, the transit of Zhu Guoling. Why did you fly here? " Therefore, it is called "Feilaifeng".
Feilaifeng is a rare artistic treasure in ancient grottoes in the south of the Yangtze River, which can be compared with Dazu stone carvings in Sichuan. Su Dongpo once wrote the poem "Xi Mountain is everywhere, and I love Lingyin Feilaifeng best".
1993, the newly opened "China Grottoes Art Collection Garden" in Lingyin Scenic Area has made use of the mountains of Feilaifeng to miniaturize the famous grotto art classic statues in China (such as Leshan Giant Buddha and Longmen Grottoes), which is worth seeing.
Special attention: when traveling to Lingyin, you must take a photo in front of the largest stone carving Maitreya Buddha in Feilai Peak. Catering: Visit Lingyin and see Feilai Peak, but don't forget: there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are days outside. After enjoying Buddhist culture, you can go to Tianwaitian Restaurant next to Hejian Bridge to eat fireworks. The water is gurgling in front of the building, and the bells of the ancient temple are faintly audible. Is it unique to taste delicious food here?
Lingyin Temple, located in front of Feilai Peak at the foot of Beifeng Mountain in the northwest of Hangzhou West Lake, is one of the "Top Ten" famous Buddhist temples in China. According to legend, 1600 years ago, Huili, an Indian monk, came to Hangzhou and saw the strange peaks and rocks here, thinking that they were "hidden by fairy spirits", so she built a temple here and named it Lingyin.
The main buildings in the temple are the Heavenly King Hall and the Ursa Major Hall. The statue of Maitreya at the entrance of Tianwang Temple has a history of 200 years. The statue of Wei Tuo, the patron saint behind Maitreya, is a work of the Southern Song Dynasty. The Hall of the Great Hero is 33.6 meters high, which is one of the best-preserved single-story double-eaved temple buildings in China. There is a gold-plated statue of Sakyamuni in the center of the hall, with a clear height of 9. 1 m. Together with the lotus base and the Buddha's top plate, it is as high as 19.69 meters. The sitting statue is carved with 24 pieces of camphor wood, which is fine and solemn. There are "Twenty Celestial Realms" and "Twelve Round Feelings" on both sides of the main hall, which are different in expression and lifelike. There are three-dimensional island carvings behind the temple, with more than 50 * * reliefs/kloc-0. There are stone pagodas built in the Five Dynasties and classic buildings built in the second year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty (969) on both sides of Daxiong Hall and Tianwang Hall, which have been around for more than 1000 years. Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty once wrote the word "Yunlin Temple".
The peaks in Lingyin area are grotesque and the scenery is absolutely different. Huili, an Indian monk, said, "This is the small ridge of jiusan, the transit of Zhu Guoling. Why did you fly here? " Therefore, it is called "Feilaifeng". Feilaifeng, also known as Ling Jiu Feng, is168m high. This mountain is made of limestone, which is quite different from the surrounding mountains. No stone is strange, no tree is ancient, no hole is secluded. The grotesque rocks such as dragons, running elephants, crouching tigers and startled apes in Feilaifeng Temple seem to be a stone zoo. Gu Teng, an ancient tree on the mountain, is intertwined; Rock bones are exposed with sharp peaks and edges. Yuan Hongdao, an Amin, once praised: "The peaks on the lake should take flying first.
Feilaifeng is a rocky place in Zhong Ling. There are 345 cliff statues carved in its caves and cliffs along the river in the Five Dynasties, the Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty. Among them, the statue of Tibetan Buddhism (Lamaism) in Yuan Dynasty is the most precious, which is a treasure in the stone kiln sculpture art in China, so it is a national key cultural relics protection unit.
At the west foot of Feilai Peak, there is a cold spring hidden deep in the shade, and the spring water is crystal clear as jade. On the surface of the clear pool water, there is a bowl of underground spring water spewing out. No matter the ebb and flow of the stream, it gushes, flying pearls and splashing jade, as if playing with nature. Ming Dynasty painter Shen said: "The scenery on the lake is hidden, and the cold spring scenery is unique." There is a cold spring pavilion in Chi Pan.
