1990 Fuyan Temple resumed opening to the outside world. Compared with Lingyin Temple, the Daxiong Hall rebuilt by Fuyan Temple has a slightly lower height and a worse building area. Sakyamuni in Lingyin Temple has a high ear, and the Tathagata in Fuyan Temple should have at least this stature. According to the inscription on the stone bell in the temple, Fuyan Temple was built in the second year of Southern Liang Dynasty (503), and was built in Taishan by Zen Master Ridong, and in the third year of Tang Ganfu (876). Tang Xizong inscribed "Thousand Rides of the Temple". The first year of Xiangfu in Song Dynasty (1008) was changed to today's Fuyan Temple. In the early Qing Dynasty, Fuyan Temple had more than 0/00 temples/kloc, five halls, such as Tianwang, Daxiong and Tong Yuan, and 500 arhat halls, which were magnificent and beautiful. Fuyan Temple has experienced ups and downs since its establishment. However, the main reason why it flourished in the Qing Dynasty was that most temples were presided over by eminent monks. Fuyan Temple is not like a "jungle of descendants" where young monks in Shadu Temple inherit the mantle, but a "jungle of selecting sages" where they visit eminent monks with virtue in the sea as heirs. Fuyan Temple covers an area of 54 mu. There is a river in front of the temple, which leads to the canal. There is a stone arch bridge on the river: Mingquanlong Bridge, also known as Qiao Feng Bridge. Qiao Feng is in the north, with winding paths leading to secluded places, leading directly to the Temple Gate, commonly known as "Mountain Road". On both sides of the southern end, there is an ancient well. To the north of the ancient well, there is an ancient pine forest with lush foliage.
The winding is lush, and there is a giant pine in the forest. The top of the tree stands alone in the forest, and there is a big pine ball on the top, which is very strange. Fuyan Temple building on the north side of the pine forest is lined with a single pen. Everything in the temple has a winding stream lying under the Zhu wall. The northernmost is Tianzhong Mountain, with two rivers embracing each other behind the land, and the blue waves are leisurely. Looking at the whole Fuyan Temple, the Quannong Bridge is like a phoenix mouth, the ancient well is like a phoenix eye, the mountain road is like a phoenix neck, the big pine cone on the giant pine tree is like a phoenix crown, the long and narrow land winding from east to west is like a phoenix wing, and the two rivers behind the mountain are like phoenix tails, so it is called "the land of the phoenix" and has always been regarded as a "land of feng shui".
"Stone-filled bell" and "Yin-Yang mirror" are famous instruments of Fuyan Temple. "Stone-filled clock" weighs 4 tons. There was not enough copper juice at the beginning of casting. Jackson Yin Fei threw a stone, and the bell rang loudly, and his voice was very clear.
