Liangshan, also known as Basket Mountain, was recorded by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty in Yidu County Records: "The map of Jingzhou says that Yidu has a high Basket Mountain. According to legend, when Yao was flooded, the mountain did not disappear, like a basket, so it was a cloud. " The Records of Yidu County in Tongzhi County of Qing Dynasty also recorded: "Liangshan is the crown of all the mountains in the city, surrounded by beams and hills." Hence the name Daliangshan.
Development history
The religious activities in Liangshan started in Liang Wudi (AD 502) with a history of 1500 years. Legend has it that Liangshan and Wudang Mountain are the same bodhisattvas, facing Liangshan and Wudang at dusk, and realizing the second temple. Therefore, pilgrims in Liangshan often go up the mountain in the starry night, vying to burn incense the next day.
At the foot of Liangshan Mountain, it is also called Guanyin Pavilion. According to the legend of Liangshan Spectrum, Guanyin Pavilion became famous from the Tang Dynasty. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, Monk Juexian had turned this place into a jungle. The building scale is very grand. There are twelve spacious temples, as well as the abbot's room, bedroom, kitchen and other living rooms. There is also a "school for worshipping goodness" next to the temple, which absorbs the children of good men and women and the little novice monk. Now the Guanyin jungle has been restored and built into the Daxiong Hall, and other halls are being restored.
