This ancient temple was listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit by the State Council in 1988.

According to the inscriptions on the stone Buddha, this temple was built in the Northern and Southern Dynasties in the seventh year of Wuding in the Eastern Wei Dynasty (AD 549) and was called Chongjue Temple. There was originally no pagoda in the temple. Legend has it that during the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty, Xu Yongan, a native of Jining, did business abroad all year round and became a wealthy local. However, after many years of marriage and childlessness, he went to Chongjue Temple to pray for a child and made a vow that if he had a child, he would rebuild the temple and build an iron tower to promote Buddhism. Strangely enough, the next year, Xu Yongan's wife Chang became pregnant and gave birth to a boy. Xu Yong'an was very happy, but because he was away doing business, he entrusted his wife Chang to come forward in the fourth year of Chongning in the Northern Song Dynasty (1105 AD) to fund the reconstruction of Chongjue Temple, and cast the Sakyamuni Pagoda with pig iron in the temple and enshrine it inside the pagoda. Buddha statues and relics repay the kindness of the Buddha for sending his son.

Including the tower base, brake roof and eleven floors, the total height is 23.8 meters, which is the highest in the country. The plan of the iron tower is octagonal, decreasing layer by layer from bottom to top, forming obvious points, presenting a resolute, straight and beautiful outline. An octagonal flat seat with a thickness of 5 cm is placed at the bottom of each floor, with four stacks of brackets on each side under the seat as a foil. Above the flat seat, a fence is installed along the edge. The height of the fence is 30 cm. The pattern of the fence is varied and unique. Some are decorated with two consecutive "" characters on two sides, some are peony patterns, and some are clustered four-ball grid eye patterns, etc. Fine casting, exquisite and clear.

There are cornices on the upper part of the tower on each floor, with an overhang of 30 cm. The ridge is decorated with tile ridges. There are four stacks of brackets under the eaves. Deep in the cornices, the brackets are sparse and clear, and they are rigorously cast. The top of the peach-shaped tower is made of copper and gold, and the lotus-shaped base is also made of copper. The two are closely linked to form a pagoda, which is stable in the center of the nine-story eaves. The eaves on the ninth floor have eight ridges that protrude and lengthen, and there are fengduo hanging from the tips of the eaves, which is very spectacular. The base of the tower is 1.9 meters deep and is tamped. Above the base, a Xumi base is laid flat on the ground. In order to prevent rotation, the center is filled with nanmu tic-tac-toe frames and connected by a tall fir at the bottom. There is a west-facing brick tower room at the base of the tower, which is a wooden imitation building with a caisson inside, all made of ground blue bricks.

In addition, there is a "Shengyuan Tower" built in front of the iron tower, with a large bronze bell hanging on it. From then on, the Iron Pagoda Temple and the "Taibai Tower" corresponded to each other in the north and south, and they looked majestic and immortal.

The entire iron tower is rigorously constructed, tall and straight, standing tall and majestic. It fully demonstrates the high level of smelting technology, construction technology and the creative talents of the working people in ancient my country. It is my country's precious iron art. heritage. Over the past nine hundred years, due to wind and rain, lightning strikes, earthquakes and disrepair, the tower gradually tilted to the southeast.

When the Jeju River was excavated in the 19th year of Yuan Dynasty (AD 1282) by Emperor Shizu of the Yuan Dynasty, the city of Rencheng was moved northward to its current location. In the early Ming Dynasty, the city wall was replaced with bricks. In the 24th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1591), Di Chong, the commander of Jining Zuowei, rebuilt the Taibai Tower. With the implication of "banning immortals" and the style of the original tower, it was moved to the east wall of the South Gate Tower (which is today's address), removed the word "wine" and renamed it "Taibai Tower", which has been passed down to this day.

Mohuaquanbi

The landscape "Mohuaquanbi" refers to the unique garden architecture of Huanbi Spring in Jining.

It is located in the west of Nanshou Road, Huanbiquan Road, Jining. This spring was originally just an ordinary underground spring. According to legend, Li Bai's family spent a happy time here.

According to the "Jining Zhili Prefecture Chronicle": "Huanbi Spring" was originally called "Mohua Pavilion" and was built in the fifth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (AD In 1526), ??the director Bai Hao built a pavilion next to the spring for guests to visit and pay homage to the ancients. In the twenty-sixth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1598), Hu Zan, the leader, rebuilt it, dredged the spring pool, built stone railings, built a square pavilion, planted willows and bamboos, and wrote "Mohua" on the spring. From then on, the "Mohua Pavilion" ” or “Mohua Spring”. At the same time, a hall with three couplets was built in the north of the spring to commemorate the two sages Li Bai and He Zhizhang. Therefore, Pan Chengnian, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, said in the poem "Mo Hua Quan Bi": "It is like a spoonful of ink spring water, which has flowed to this day for many years." After that, it was rebuilt many times in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, until the fifteenth year of Qianlong (1750 AD) ) Zhizhou Xi Hengxuan donated money for repairs, built an additional hall and a central door next to the main hall, and dug two square and round pools, both called "Huanbi". Since then, "Mohua Pavilion" has been renamed "Huanbi Spring". In the fifty-sixth year of Qianlong's reign (AD 1791), Li Gong, the governor of the river, rebuilt the back hall and built a second floor. The statues of Li Bai, Du Fu and He Zhizhang were enshrined on the upper floor. The "Mohua Pavilion" was still built in front of the hall, and a block of more than 10 feet was placed behind the pavilion. The towering and protruding boulder has the words "Little Leifeng" engraved on it. There is also a boat-shaped cabin built next to the stone, with a small bridge across it. After the completion of this reconstruction, Cao Shi He Lin wrote poems, cabinet scholar Weng Fanggang wrote poems, and Yunhe Tongzhi Huang Yi drew pictures. The carved stones were inlaid on the inner wall of the hall. They are known as the three masterpieces of Huanbiquan's poetry, Zhang, and paintings. It has also become a major landscape in "Mo Hua Quan Bi". More than a hundred years later, in 1914, Hanlin Yang Yushi, Gao Weihan and others in the late Qing Dynasty rebuilt "Huanbi Spring". Yang Hanlin also wrote a couplet in his own handwriting. The pen has been used for thousands of years," and the second line is "In the future, I will be a passer-by, nostalgic for the past, and hope to preserve a line of writing." As a result, Huanbi Spring has gradually formed a grand garden building integrating buildings, halls, pavilions, pools and bridges. It has become a scenic spot with gurgling water, sparse flowers and trees, willow shades and bamboo greens, and beautiful scenery. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, two renovations were carried out. A pond and pavilion were dug on the original site, a main hall was built, flowers, trees and bamboos were planted, giving Huanbi Spring a new look to welcome tourists. In 1986, the Jiyu Municipal People's Government announced "Huanbi Spring" as a key cultural relic protection unit in Jining City.

Rope; when the weather is clear, the wild colors are fragrant and clear, the sky is clear, the curtains are rolling, the grass is green and the clouds are comfortable, the makeup of the Guo Kingdom; when it rains, the hills are full of beetles, and the dense trees are empty, with shallow pearls, gordonium and emerald green, and the sky is blurry. Xizi's frown. If the four seasons pass by, the scenery is different. The changes in things are different, and the changes are smooth. Every time I see the sand is warm and the apples are new, the water is melting and the fish are jumping, and the European herons are croaking, or the warblers are singing. , gentle and harmonious; the willow shade is spread, the cool water is close to the pond, the lotus flowers are in brocade, the fragrance spreads on the far beach, the song of picking lotus, the people buckling the side are as noisy as the market; the white dew is across the sky, the red polygonum is touching the shore, among the quills, the wild geese are flying There is a sound, and there are three iron flutes playing in the wild grass, and those who come here are thinking about the water shield and perch; the frost and chestnuts are crisp, the local birds are frightened, and the deep blood is confused, and the grasshopper is fishing alone. A few wisps of smoke also cause the rise of Shanyin. As for the microwaves that suddenly move, they are woven into pieces, as if they are light and thin; Reflected on the glass; the flickering light is dazzling, and it is like the twinkling of a golden snake. This graceful moonlight flows through the four seasons, morning and evening. "The lake is also the beauty of thousands of green mountains. It is so strange that it is so beautiful that it makes people's hearts and eyes wide open. How much does Peng Li give in to Dongting?"

Huolin's Late Crossing

This historical landscape of "Huolin's Late Crossing" is a unique sight. It refers to the bustling scene at night in Changgou "Huolin Wandu" (now Huolin Village, Changgou Town, Rencheng District), which is located 40 miles north of Jining City and is known as the "Second Jining".

According to legend, during the Spring and Autumn Period, when Confucius was the governor of Zhongdu (now Wenshang County), he went hunting near Changgou and captured a pair of unicorns. Therefore, the place was named "Huolin Village". It is now called "Huilin Street".

From the Yuan Dynasty to the 20th year of the Yuan Dynasty (AD 1283), Li Oruchi, Minister of the Ministry of War, presided over the excavation of the Jeju Canal, and Changgou became a famous town. In the ninth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1411), Bai Ying "divided water from Nanwang" to borrow water to facilitate transportation, so that "three parts of Wenshui flowed to the south of the Yangtze River, and seven parts went to the emperor". He also built water-saving sluices in the north and south of Nanwang. , one gate every ten miles, 38 roads. Changgou Huolin Village also built a control sluice, named "Huolin Gate", also known as "Huolin Ancient Ferry". Here, one sluice carries water transportation for thousands of miles from Beijing to Hangzhou, attracting internal and external connections, and its status is prominent. What's more important is that the "Huolin Ancient Ferry" is located next to the Shushan Lake Boanshui Dam. The Boanshui Dam is not only a hub for regulating water transportation, but also a life gate that protects tens of thousands of lives in Jining Prefecture. Because Baiying built a "water tank" to store water and regulate water transportation, Nanwang Lake and Shushan Lake were excavated to facilitate Spring Festival transportation. Among them, Shushan Lake is located in the Huilin and Xuehai areas. Since the terrain of Changgou is higher than the ancient city wall of Jining, Shushan Lake is like a bag of water hanging on the shoulders of Jining Prefecture. Once the water embankment breaks and flows downstream, there will be "a scoop of lake water covering Jizhou, tens of thousands of lives" Therefore, the construction of Shushan Lake dam and the maintenance of "Huolin Gate" are crucial. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, both the Ming and Qing dynasties set up gate offices here to build river embankments and operate water transportation, thus making Changgou It has become a prosperous commercial port and wharf on both flood and drought roads. Hundreds of boats in the river are vying for water, and there is a forest of masts and masts, and there is a lot of noise. There are endless sounds of people speaking in the south and the north, and there are continuous sounds from the east and the west. There is a lot of traffic on the shore, merchants gather, and the city is bustling with people; the lights in the teahouses and wine shops are flowing; in the middle of the night, there are constant pedestrians in the street. At that time, the literati relied on this historical allusion and named it "Huolin's Late Crossing". Changgou is also known as "Er Jining". "Huolin Wandu" is also famous for its "two mountains sandwiching a temple", "Dragon Monument" and "Black Wind Pass".

The so-called "two mountains sandwiching a temple" and "two mountains" refer to the ruined gables of two ancient dilapidated houses in Huolin Village. There are overgrown weeds in the middle, locust trees and willows compete for shade, and foxes and rabbits compete for burrows. Birds shuttle. It has its own natural wildness. "One Temple" refers to the "Huolin Guanyin Temple" between two gables. It was built in the Ming Dynasty and rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. The main hall has three couplets and is built in a hard-mounted style. The murals inside the temple are brilliant and colorful. There are four stone carvings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties on the outer walls. . (The temple still exists now, but it is in dilapidated condition, with ruins and broken walls, and the murals in the temple can be vaguely discerned). In front of the temple, there are the Huolinxiu River Stele and the Dragon Falling Stele standing slantingly in the Ming Dynasty (the remaining ones are still in the village). In those days, the incense was blazing in the "Huolin Guanyin Temple". Businessmen from all over the world kowtowed to gods and burned incense in the hope of getting rich; faithful men and women gathered to worship Buddha for peace; dignitaries donated money and incense to seek wealth. It is said that when the emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties passed here, they also came to pay homage to Guanyin.

According to legend, the "Dragon Drop Monument" is about a green dragon passing by Shushan Lake in the west. When I lowered my head, I saw vast expanse of blue waves, colorful lotuses, vast green reeds, water carrying Shushan Mountain, and green snails with silver scales... It was so stunned that it fell from the sky and turned into a "dropping dragon monument".

"Heifengkou" is said to be magical. It is actually a long and narrow trumpet-shaped alley running from north to south. On the east side of Huolin Ancient Ferry, standing at the north entrance, you can see the rippling Shushan Lake. It is said that there are strong winds in this alley, and the wind speed is extremely high. No one dares to stand at the north end of the alley and on the shore of Shushan Lake. On the water surface of Shushan Lake facing the alley, there are no lotus flowers and no reeds. The water is disturbed day and night, and the birds do not come to the north. In the middle of the night, the wind is blowing, making it difficult to lift your feet to the south, the wind is pulling clothes to the north, the logistics wind is turning, and the doors and windows of the residents on both sides creak and clank. By the lake at the north end of the alley, grass egrets fly in fright, wild foxes scream, the water weeps and the reeds howl, the green light is dim, and the ghosts look longingly. Being in a wonderland, I shudder... From then on, the black wind spread throughout the north and south. It is said that in the late Qing Dynasty, a Jining man was an official in the south, and a Changgou businessman broke the law in his jurisdiction and was arrested and imprisoned. During the court hearing, I heard the prisoner say that his family was in Changgou, Jining, and he was a fellow villager. He felt sympathy for him, so he wrote the sentence: "Exiled to a temple between two mountains, dropped a dragon monument, and was in the dark wind. He will never be forgiven." ". Others thought the sentence was harsh, but in fact they let him go home.

Time flies, and although the "Huolin Late Crossing" no longer exists, its grand scenery and beautiful legends are still passed down from generation to generation.
