Long Mountain Temple

In front of the Longshan Temple, there is a depression in the Moon Pond, and the gate of the mountain is a stone archway with four characters "Tianzhu Brahma Bell" engraved on it. Entering the mountain gate, I saw a large stone tablet inlaid on the front wall of the temple, inscribed with "Longshan Treasure Land". There are bell and drum towers on both sides, a pair of stone lions and a pair of stone drums in front of the main porch, and a wooden plaque with "a cloud of kindness" hangs on the forehead of the door. Inside the gate is a court of worship, an altar, and a pavilion on the altar. The Daxiong Palace is magnificent, with wood carvings, stone carvings, porcelain sculptures, and colorful paintings, which are exquisite and bright. One of the pair of stone dragon pillars is flying and coiling, and the craftsmanship is exquisite. In the hall, there is a standing statue of the Thousand-handed and Thousand-Eyed Bodhisattva, which is carved from a giant wood with a height of 2.3 meters. The Buddha statue wears a corolla with many Buddha heads carved on the crown. The Buddha's face is plump and kind, and his hands are folded in front of his chest. On both sides of the Buddha's body are sculptures of 1,008 hands, like two wings, which are scattered in different shapes and poses. Each hand has a bracelet, and each palm is carved with an eye, or holds a scroll, a magical instrument, and the carving is exquisite. The whole body of the Buddha statue is covered with pure gold foil. In the temple, there is a plaque inscribed by Zhang Ruitu, a calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty, with the inscription "Teaching Hands and Eyes", as well as the ink works of celebrities such as Zhuang Junyuan of the Ming Dynasty and Master Hongyi of modern times. The front door of the front hall is linked to "Why do you hate the shackles of love and love for the past 12 hours? Sure enough, five hundred hands and eyes drown in the danger and help the Dharma boundless" is the original work of Qingzhuang Junyuan, and the giant plaque "Shaolong Buddha" under the north eaves of the hall is Master Hongyi Authentic works; on the Temple of Heaven, there is a plaque of "Longshan Temple" inscribed by Zhao Puchu;
