Mazu Yi Dao, Huang Bai Zen Master and Baizhang Huaihai all left footprints in Jiangxi.
The following information is for reference.
Ordinary Temple is located in Yangqi Mountain, Shangli County, 25 kilometers north of Pingxiang City, Jiangxi Province. It is the birthplace of China Zen Yang Qi School. Yang Qi is a famous Buddhist mountain with beautiful scenery, pleasant climate and quiet caves. The terrain of Yang Qi is like a blue lotus, and one of its petals seems to be Maitreya. Ordinary temples are located under Maitreya's navel.
Yifeng (Yichun) is the birthplace of Lin Jizong and Cao Dongzong, the mainstream of Zen Buddhism in China. Huangbai Temple and Puli Temple are ancestral temples of Lin Jizong and Cao Dongzong respectively. There are also many temples built in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and there are nearly a thousand pagodas of Buddhist monks' tombs, including Linji Zongyun Xizu Pagoda and Cao Dongzong Liangjiazu Pagoda. These pagodas where Buddhist monks explain their tombs are historical testimony of Zen shrines for thousands of years. In fact, the carefully carved stone is not only a religious pattern, but also a history of carving art from Tang Dynasty to Qing Dynasty. They are solemn in shape, changeable in style and vivid in image, all of which have high artistic aesthetic value. They are the crystallization of ancient wisdom and the treasure house of human art. At present, they are applying for world cultural heritage.
Bo Huang, located in Huanggang Township, Yifeng County, is a famous scenic spot in northwest Jiangxi, with magnificent weather, beautiful scenery and towering old trees. Throughout the ages, not only monks and famous couples have participated in meditation here, but also many literati have come one after another, leaving a lot of poems. In the Song Dynasty, Ni Si's poem "Wandering Yellow and White" said: "There are thousands of fir trees in Jiu Feng, and the trees under Yushan are towering." Liu Kezhuang, a writer in the Song Dynasty, wrote in the poem "Huangbaishan": "Storks nest on tall trees, and monks retire from the Liao Dynasty when the sun is cold, knowing that the world is bleak." Su Zhe is very interested in camellia in the mountains. In his poem Camellia, he wrote the poem "After winter, you can still sow, and an acre of barren garden will be tried as a hoe". He also wants to take some seeds back and try to plant an acre!
Bo Huang Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty. It was named "Gratitude Guangxiao Temple" by Emperor Gaozong in the ninth year of Song Shaoxing, and it was destroyed in the middle of Ming Dynasty. Chongzhen was rebuilt in the second year, and Guangxu Gengzi was burned by fire. Only the wing hall and Guanyin pavilion are left. During the Cultural Revolution, temples and pavilions were also demolished. Now there is only the tiger running spring by the temple. The spring water gushed from the underground horizontal hole and gathered into a pool, surrounded by a square pool made of stone, which was made into a mine field along four pillars. The inner wall of the slate above is engraved with the words "Tiger Running Spring", which is vigorous and powerful. Next to the well, there are five washbasins the size of stone chisels, which were used by monks to wash their faces. Legend has it that a tiger broke into the temple and knocked down the incense table, hoping that the case would turn into a boulder. From then on, tigers often attend lectures and recite lessons, which gradually influenced them. After Yun Xi's death, the tiger suddenly ran out from under the stone and met the Guangye Tower and died. Under the stone, this pearl spring gushed out. There are more than 200 pagodas in Phellodendron amurense since the Tang Dynasty, with different shapes and exquisite craftsmanship. They are not only the physical materials to study the origin of Buddhism, but also the treasures of ancient architectural art in China. Among these pagodas, Yunzu Pagoda, also known as Guangye Pagoda, is the most famous. In the 11th year of Tang Dynasty (857), Yun died of illness, and he was named the Zen Master of Duanji. Because he is the ancestor of Lin Ji, he is called Yunzu for short. The tower is on the foundation of Qiancun, and the stone tower looks like a vase. The tower seat is sumeru, with a plump waist and carved with branches and leaves on all sides, and the four corners of the tower are tilted upward. The tower gate has four floors: hexagonal high-top canopy and covered roof.
