Lingyin Temple is a five-character ancient poem written by Song Wenzhi in Tang Dynasty.
Original text:
The vulture ridge is gloomy, and the Dragon Palace is lonely.
Look at the sea, the door is facing the tide in Zhejiang.
In the middle of the month, laurel trees fall and fragrant clouds float outside.
If you climb the tower, you will find that spring is far away.
Frost is thin, flowers are hairy, and ice leaves are not withered.
The age of rewelding is still different, and the search is right.
Stay on Tiantai Road and look at the extra stone bridge.
Translation:
Feilai peak is majestic and lush, and the Buddhist temple is solemn and lonely.
The first floor overlooks the magnificent sunrise, and the temple gate faces the Qiantang River tide.
Osmanthus fragrans often falls to the temple in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Buddha incense can float for nine days.
Climb vines to ancient pagodas in the distance, and hollow out trees to take springs in the distance.
First frost is more violent under the blooming mountain, and the leaves don't fall because of the cold.
In his early years, he loved the strange scenery in the distance to wash away the troubles in the world.
Wait until I walk into the road of Tiantai Mountain and watch me cross Banxi Stone Bridge.
