Temple legends in the imperial harem.

According to legend, when the wise master, the founder of Tiantai Sect, came to Tiantai Mountain from Jiangling, there was a kind-hearted old monk in Lu Yu. From his speech, he learned that the old monk's name was Dingguang, and he had profound knowledge of Buddhism and superb attainments, so the wise man worshipped him as a teacher. The wise man preached Buddhism on the rooftop and wanted to build a new temple. He decided to find a blessed place near the mountains and rivers to build a temple, and told him to remember the words "If the temple is built, the country will be clear".

The wise man asked why. Ding Guang said that in today's world, wars are everywhere, people suffer, and temples are built, so that the country can be peaceful and the people can live and work in peace. The wise man found this blessed land according to Master's words and drew the pattern of the temple himself. Unfortunately, the wise man died just after the pattern was drawn. His apprentice was enlightened and realized the wise man's last wish. He built this temple and named it "Congress Temple".

According to legend, Dong Qichang has been to Guoshou Temple for the summer vacation. The old abbot knew that he was a famous calligrapher at home and asked him to write an inscription on the tablet, but Dong Qichang refused to write it. One night, when the moon was as bright as water, Dong Qichang came to the release pool to enjoy the cool. The breeze made him sleepy, and in a trance he met three fairies: Yuzhu, Lezhen and Guozhen. They sang beautiful songs, danced beautiful dances and played beautiful Yu Di for Dong Qichang, which delighted Dong Qichang. After Dong Qichang woke up, if he lost something, he sang a poem according to the scene in his dream: "Fish balls sing beautifully and willow branches are waist-high;" Guo Yuxi, I am really happy in my dream. " At this time, the abbot came to his side, listened to his poem and said with a smile, "Your poem is really good. He connected the first few words of each sentence in this poem. Isn't that the word "fish enjoy the country"? "

So, at the request of the abbot, Dong Qichang wrote down the three characters of "Land of Fish and Music" and inscribed the pavilion plaque of "Qingxin Pavilion".

The story of the word "goose" tablet

According to legend, one night, Cao Lun chose to spend the night at Huading Temple in Huading Mountain, practicing calligraphy under the lamp. Suddenly he heard a strange noise outside the window and saw a strange light, so he threw an inkstone out of the window. He came out with a lantern and looked around, but nothing happened. He picked up the inkstone thrown on the ground and turned it into jade.

Therefore, Cao excavated at the landing place of the inkstone platform, and excavated Wang Xizhi's semi-"goose" remnant tablet. Later, Cao practiced calligraphy hard for seven years, copied the tablet of the king day and night, and finally completed the word "goose".

Arhat fights Guanyin

After kokuseiji was completed, 500 arhats were enshrined in it. They agreed to build a pagoda for the National Assembly Temple overnight to add scenery to this famous temple. While five hundred arhats were busy carrying bricks and stones, Guanyin in the South China Sea passed by the roof. Guanyin sees the two peaks of Shiqiao Mountain opposite each other, and the waterfall hangs high, which is very spectacular. It is also to add icing on the cake to Tiantai Mountain, build a stone bridge and add landscape.

Guanyin saw a mountain of bricks piled up outside Xiaoguo Temple, so she borrowed bricks from five hundred arhats, but arhats refused. Guanyin borrowed a pot from Lohan to cook, and Lohan deliberately knocked a hole in the pot. Seeing this, Guanyin smiled and did a little magic to cook delicious rice in the iron pot. Lohan was surprised to see this. He moved the iron pan and looked at it. It turned out that the hole in the pot only leaked sand, not rice. From then on, this pot was called "leaky casserole". Later generations wrote a couplet at the door of the room where the big iron pot was hidden: "There are still cold stove stones in the ancient temple; There is also a leaky casserole in the cloud cabinet.
