The history of Tianxin cave

Tianxin Cave was built in Sui Dynasty, formerly known as Tianxiang Temple, which is one of the three ancient temples in Nan 'an, and later changed to Taoist Temple to worship the Eight Immortals. It is the only Taoist base in Nan 'an where Taoist temples are preserved, and there are a lot of religious and cultural legends. For example, punish the dragon, Guanyin and exchange temples. Guanyin built a tidal temple at the head of Wuli Bridge to drive away the plague and give Yang Taiyi a true fairy apricot. These legends have greatly enriched religious culture, and many scenic spots and place names are inextricably linked with legends and stories, such as Longtan, Shui Ge, Tandi Bashi, Kunyu Mountain, Chao Hai Temple, Biyun Temple in Lion Mountain, Xianjiyan and Xingzhai.

Tianxiang Temple is a famous Buddhist temple, adjacent to Tianxin Cave Taoist Temple. Taoist temples and temples are interdependent and set each other off into interest, which can be described as "the unity of Buddhism and Taoism, the immortal Buddhism." The golden body of Yang Taiyi, a famous real person who once went to Tianxin Cave to pray for a dream and was famous at home and abroad, all went to Tianxin Cave to burn incense, which has a very strong religious and cultural color.

In addition, many tourists are amazed by the unique geographical location and unique scenery of Tianxin Cave. Zhu, a great scholar in the Song Dynasty, once visited this place, calling it "a place where the sun can't be seen at dawn and dusk", which means that there are mountains on both sides of this place, and there is no sunshine in the morning and evening, so it is a treasure trove of geomantic omen.
