Jinshan is located in the northern part of Jinyang Village, Jinshan Town (formerly Bianhe Township) in the south of Linzi District, with an altitude of 420 meters and a limestone mountain. Jinshan stands like a goldfinch at the junction of Lubei Plain and Luzhong Mountain, with its branches stretching for dozens of square kilometers. This mountain is full of charm and beauty, majestic without losing its charm. Breaking the wall shows the profoundness of history and culture.
The legend of Jinshan:
According to legend, I visited the hometown of Qi earlier and saw a high mountain in the distance. Zhang Tianshi said: "This mountain is full of auspicious light and protects all directions. Fiona Fang is a hundred miles away and there are many sages." From then on, this mountain was called Jinshan.
There are more than ten ancient cultural relics on the main peak of Jinshan, such as Jade Palace, Bi Xia Notre Dame Palace, the worse gate, Wanghailou, Bell and Drum Tower, etc. Broken walls still exists today. According to inscriptions, the Jade Emperor Hall and the Nantianmen were rebuilt in the sixth year of Qing Emperor Kangxi, while the Palace of Notre Dame, Wanghai Tower and Bell and Drum Tower in Bi Xia were rebuilt in the eleventh year of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong respectively.
Below the main peak, in the middle of the 18th session, the Lingguan Hall, which has been well preserved so far, was built in the first year of the Ming Dynasty. The inscription on the right door reads: "Lingguan Hall is located in the 18th session of Bishop Palace in Jinshan." The ancient eighteen plates by the temple are still there.
There are also many beautiful folk stories about Jinshan in the local area: there is a beautiful girl in the mountain, driving a golden pony and grinding golden beans; The boy who showed filial piety to his mother touched the mountain god and let him find the key to open the mountain gate. In ancient times, there was a golden rooster on the mountain. Every morning when the golden rooster sings, the weather will be favorable and the grain will be plentiful.
