Introduction of Langshan Scenic Area:
Located in the southern suburbs of Nantong, Langshan Mountain is a famous natural scenic spot, which consists of Langshan Mountain, Maanshan Mountain, Huangni Mountain, Jianshan Mountain and Junshan Mountain. South of the Yangtze River, mountains and rivers depend on each other, so it is called the Five Mountains. Langshan Mountain is located in it, with an altitude of 106.94 meters, which is the most steep and beautiful, with many cultural relics and historic sites. The other four mountains are like the stars arch the moon, and Langshan is the first of the five mountains. According to legend, there lived a white wolf on Wolf Mountain, which was named after the shape of the mountain. During the Chunhua period of the Northern Song Dynasty (990 ~ 994), Yang Jun, a state shepherd, thought the name of Langshan was indecent, so he changed it to Langshan. Later, because the rocks on the mountain were mostly purple, later generations called it Zilang Mountain, and Nantong City got the nickname "Zilang Mountain". Langshan was originally in the Yangtze River. Jian Zhen, a monk in the Tang Dynasty, stayed at Langshan Mountain when he visited Japan for the third time. It was not until the Northern Song Dynasty that Langshan was connected with the land. From the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, temples and pagodas were built one after another, and the total name was Guangjiao Temple. In Buddhism, Langshan is the Bodhisattva Dojo, ranking first among the eight famous Buddhist mountains in China.
Entering the Wolf Mountain Gate, it is the Dharma Temple, which was originally the "Daxiong Hall" of Guangjiao Temple, also known as Sakyamuni Hall. The three-sided tile murals in the hall are portraits of 18 famous monks in China from the Eastern Han Dynasty to modern times, painted by the famous contemporary painter Fan Ceng. On the west side of Ursa Major Hall is a solid brick tower with seven floors and four sides, which is called the magic tower. To commemorate the abbot of Langshan Guangjiao Temple (976- 1983) during the period of Taiping and Xingguo in the Northern Song Dynasty, there is a tablet pavilion in the north of the tower, which contains the "Futai Pingwo Monument" erected in the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1560), which records the historical facts of the Ming Dynasty's fight against the Japanese pirates. The first place in Tashi is Zilang Garden, which was originally the "Sanxian Pavilion" and is now a restaurant. Then, on the right side of the road is the tomb of the white martyrs. Bai, a native of Nantong, is a patriotic scholar and a teacher of Li Dazhao. He led the Luanzhou Uprising during the Revolution of 1911 and later died heroically. On the south slope of Shandong, Wansongling has Wangjiang Pavilion, overlooking the mighty Yangtze River, and Fuyu Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River is faintly visible. Above is the Bamboo Kwai Mountain House, and in front is the Kangxi Imperial Monument Pavilion.
Climbing to the top of Langshan Mountain, you can see the main building complex of Guangjiao Temple, Daguan Platform in front of the temple, with a wide field of vision and panoramic views of landscapes and pastoral areas. There are couplets on both sides of the temple gate: "The whistling ravine should smell, look up at the sky." The entrance is Cui Jing Building, a two-story building that used to be a theater. According to people in the theater industry, such a perfect "temple fair stage" is rare in the country. Through the Cui Jing Building, you can see Tong Yuan Hall, the largest Buddha statue in Wolf Mountain Temple, with a height of 4.5 meters. There are "Sixteen Masters" statues on both sides. The Zhiyun Pagoda behind the temple was built during the reign of Taiping and Xingguo in the Northern Song Dynasty (976 ~ 983), with a height of 35 meters. It is one of the three pagodas in Nantong, with five floors and four sides (the other two pagodas are Wenfeng Pagoda and Xiaoguang Pagoda in the city). Behind the tower is the famous Langshan Temple. The Great Sage of Langshan was a monk Jia in the Tang Dynasty. He conquered the Yangtze River and Huaihe River in the south, cured diseases and treated water for the people, and was deeply loved. Tang Zhongzong respected him as a Buddhist, and he was a generation of eminent monks. In the temple, the Great Sage Bodhisattva is wearing a dragon robe, and the dharma is solemn; On both sides are his disciples Du Huian and Mu Cha. The temple is smoky all year round. At the southeast foot of the mountain, there is the tomb of King Robin of the Tang Dynasty. Luo is one of the "four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty". Xu Jingye, the secretariat of Yangzhou, opposed Wu Zetian and went into exile in Nantong after his defeat. Alongside the tomb of Luo is the tomb of Liu Zhi, the subordinate of Wen Tianxiang, a national hero in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the editor of Wuyue in the Qing Dynasty. Slightly higher than the three tombs is the tomb of Kim Cangjiang, a patriotic poet in North Korea.
The wolf mountain is quiet in the south and quiet in the north, and the garden is composed of screens at the northern foot of the mountain. There are many inscriptions on the steep cliff, which are called topic slopes. There is a winding stream under the cliff in the park, and there is a huge stone facing the water in the west. Wu Changshuo, a famous painter in modern times, is called "Dakaiyan". Up to now, there are still some buildings built by Zhang Chun, such as Zhao Hui Shen Xiu Mansion, Linxi Jingshe and Yumei Mansion. There are also Songdian Pavilion, Haiyue Rock, Gull Rock, Sunset Cave, Fairy Cave, Han Yuquan and other attractions.
