There are no wolves in Wolf Mountain, so why is it called Wolf Mountain?

Located in the southern suburb of Nantong, Langshan is a high mountain surrounded by trees, with an altitude of 106.94 meters. As soon as you step into the Langshan Scenic Area, you can smell the sandalwood smell of worshipping Buddha and burning incense from afar. Then the smell of sandalwood will take you into the Buddhist temple, where there are four Buddha statues more than ten meters high. They seem to be gods sent by the Tathagata Lord to protect the Wolf Mountain. Walking out of the back door of the Buddhist temple, you come to a world of flowers. Gorgeous flowers have different shapes and characteristics, and are golden and noble; Deep red elegance; Pink elegance; Extraordinary and refined; Deep purple is extremely romantic; White jade and clear ice; The charm of pink is natural ...

It is said that the owner of Langshan turned out to be an old wolf. One day, the Great Sage and Bodhisattva swam to the East China Sea. At first glance, this mountain has a good feng shui: from south to north, rivers flow into the sea. So I want to use this mountain as a place to practice. But Wolf Mountain is owned, although the owner is an old wolf. The Great Sage Bodhisattva consulted with Lao Lang, but Lao Lang refused. Bodhisattva still patiently discussed with the old wolf: in this way, I put the cassock on the ground, the place covered by the cassock is mine, and the rest is yours. The old wolf thought, no matter how big the cassock is, even if we give him a large piece of land, it doesn't seem that we middle-earth practitioners are too stingy. The Great Sage Bodhisattva scattered cassock and covered the mountain. The old wolf was dumbfounded at first sight. We middle-earth practitioners always break our word, so we gave the Wolf Mountain to the Bodhisattva. After the reluctant old wolf gave up the treasure, he made a request to the bodhisattva: let the mountain not be named, and the mountain name is also called Wolf Mountain. Bodhisattva may think it is a bit inhuman to use magic to get the treasure, so she readily agreed to Lao Lang's request. Therefore, although there are no wolves on the mountain, it is still called Wolf Mountain.

In Nantong folk song "Three Pagodas in Tongzhou", "One Pagoda Inserts Clouds" refers to this cloud pagoda located at the back of Tong Yuan Temple at the top of Langshan Mountain and in front of the Great Sage Temple. Zhiyun Pagoda is also a thousand-year-old ancient pagoda, which was built during the period of Xingguo in Song Taiping. Mount Sumi is actually the base of the pagoda, which is rare in China. In fact, because there is little flat land on the top of the mountain, it is a temple from the eaves at the bottom of the tower, killing two birds with one stone. The wisdom of ancient craftsmen is really admirable.

Entering the Wolf Mountain Gate, it is the Dharma Temple, which was originally the "Daxiong Hall" of Guangjiao Temple, also known as Sakyamuni Hall. The three-sided tile murals in the hall are portraits of 18 famous monks in China from the Eastern Han Dynasty to modern times, painted by the famous contemporary painter Fan Ceng. On the west side of Ursa Major Hall is a solid brick tower with seven floors and four sides, which is called the magic tower. To commemorate the abbot of Langshan Guangjiao Temple (976- 1983) during the period of Taiping and Xingguo in the Northern Song Dynasty, there is a tablet pavilion in the north of the tower, which contains the "Futai Pingwo Monument" erected in the thirty-ninth year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1560), which records the historical facts of the Ming Dynasty's fight against the Japanese pirates. The first place in Tashi is Zilang Garden, which was originally the "Sanxian Pavilion" and is now a restaurant.

Then, on the right side of the road is the tomb of the white martyrs. Bai Nantong, patriotic scholar, teacher of Li Dazhao. He led the Luanzhou Uprising during the Revolution of 1911 and died heroically. On the south slope of Shandong, Wansongling has Wangjiang Pavilion, overlooking the mighty Yangtze River, and Fuyu Mountain in the south of the Yangtze River is faintly visible. Above is the Bamboo Kwai Mountain House, and in front is the Kangxi Imperial Monument Pavilion. Climbing to the top of Langshan Mountain, you can see the main building complex of Guangjiao Temple, Daguan Platform in front of the temple, with a wide field of vision and panoramic views of landscapes and pastoral areas. There are couplets on both sides of the temple gate: "The whistling ravine should smell, look up at the sky."

Langshan was originally in the Yangtze River. Jian Zhen, a monk in the Tang Dynasty, stayed at Langshan Mountain when he visited Japan for the third time. It was not until the Northern Song Dynasty that Langshan was connected with the land. There are many places of interest in Langshan Mountain, and the ceramic tile murals of eighteen monks, an artistic treasure, are displayed in the temple. Climbing up the stairs, the King Kong Hall, the Great Compassion Hall, the Tibetan Scripture Building, the Three Immortals Hall and the Kwai Bamboo Mountain House climb to the top of the mountain, and Daguan Platform, the Temple, the Millennium Pagoda and the Great Temple are dazzling, such as "Pingwo Monument", "Tomb of the White Martyr, one of the four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty" and Kangxi Imperial Bookstore. Beilu Garden is under the cliff on the northern slope of Langshan Mountain, where the rocks are rugged and the cliff stands upright, which is wonderful! The peaks, rocks, caves and rocks of Langshan Mountain are the most famous here.

Behind the tower is the famous Langshan Temple. The Great Sage of Langshan was a monk Jia in the Tang Dynasty. He conquered the Yangtze River and Huaihe River in the south, cured diseases and treated water for the people, and was deeply loved. Tang Zhongzong respected him as a Buddhist, and he was a generation of eminent monks. In the temple, the Great Sage Bodhisattva is wearing a dragon robe, and the dharma is solemn; On both sides are his disciples Du Huian and Mu Cha. The temple is smoky all year round. At the southeast foot of the mountain, there is the tomb of King Robin of the Tang Dynasty. Luo is one of the "four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty". Xu Jingye, the secretariat of Yangzhou, opposed Wu Zetian and went into exile in Nantong after his defeat. Alongside the tomb of Luo is the tomb of Liu Zhi, the subordinate of Wen Tianxiang, a national hero in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the editor of Wuyue in the Qing Dynasty. Slightly higher than the three tombs is the tomb of Kim Cangjiang, a patriotic poet in North Korea.
