Emeishan history

Mount Emei, located in Leshan City, Sichuan Province, is one of the famous Buddhist mountains in China. Mount Emei has a long history and profound cultural heritage, and is known as one of the "Top Ten Famous Mountains in China".

It is said that Buddhism was introduced to Mount Emei as early as the 2nd century or so. In the Tang Dynasty, Mount Emei became one of the main Dojo of Zen, and the five Buddhist temples in Mount Emei were known as "Zen Holy Land". In the Song Dynasty, the Buddhist culture of Mount Emei reached its peak and became the center of various Buddhist sects such as Zen, Huayan Sect and Pure Land Sect.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Buddhist culture and landscape of Mount Emei got greater prosperity and development. Important events such as "Conglian Temple Reconstruction" and "Zhenbao Pavilion Completion" in Ming Dynasty, and large-scale activities such as "Kaiyuan Temple Expansion" and "Golden Top Floor Opening Ceremony" in Qing Dynasty have all become important symbols of Emei Mountain Buddhist culture.

At present, Emei Mountain, as a national key scenic spot and a national civilized scenic spot, attracts many tourists to visit, sightseeing, sacrifice and travel. Emei Mountain is also one of the few tourist attractions with dual functions of secular entertainment and Buddhist temple in China. Today, Mount Emei has become an important place to carry traditional culture and one of the important platforms for cultural exchange in the new era.
