The pharmacist's Buddhist Dojo Shishi Buddhist Temple is located at the foot of Kameyama Mountain, facing Lingjiusan. According to the records of Zhangzhou Prefecture, Longxi County and Haicheng County, the Stone Chamber Buddhist Temple was founded in the second year of the Tang Dynasty (686) and was originally a stone chamber for people to practice. In the third year of Tongguang in the later Tang Dynasty (925), it was built as a temple. Song Yingzong was built or added for two years (1065). In Yuan Dynasty, JOE (1334) was rebuilt by Hui 'an monks, and built a Gong Fan, a monk's room and a plastic Buddha statue, which became a famous temple, laying the foundation for a stone temple. It will be repaired in the eighth year tomorrow (1464). The temple was abandoned in Chenghua period of Ming Dynasty (1465- 1487). Qin Long (1569- 157 1) During the three to five years, Yun Xuan, a monk of Kaiyuan Temple in Shan Zhi, Zhangzhou, presided over the restoration, built Buddhist temples, mountain gates and corridors, and built new walls around them. The Qing Dynasty was the heyday of Shishi Temple, and the imperial court issued an imperial edict to reward Buddhist pharmacists in the temple for their deeds of exterminating the plague (the imperial edict tablet has been well preserved so far). The year of hanging arch belongs to the time when Minnan Kaizhang and Chen Yuanguang awarded the first secretariat. According to the newly compiled Records of Buddhism in Xiamen, Shishi Temple was one of the earliest temples built in southern Fujian when it was just developed.
Shishi Temple was rebuilt many times in Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing and Republic of China, and there are many stone tablets in the courtyard to record these histories. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese invaders invaded the coastal areas of Fujian and Zhejiang. General Qi Jiguang led the troops to kill the enemy, and the enemy soldiers were frightened. Up to now, there are still anti-Japanese relics of General Qi in Guijia Mountain, "Youcheng Ancient Village" and "Jianshan Ancient Village". There is still a manger before and after the Buddhist temple, which has certain historical reference value. On the east side of the Buddhist temple are the tombs of monks and nuns of various dynasties, mostly in the Qing Dynasty. There are many ancient tombstones in the yard, which have not been destroyed. In addition, Shouyu, the mother of Zheng Xu, a famous monk in Ming Dynasty, was also very large. Among them, three tombs of the abbot's parents in the Ming Dynasty were found beside the temple, which is a rare and special phenomenon in China temples.
Thousand-year-old temples, majestic Kameyama Mountain, majestic vulture mountain, handed down 18 scenes. Nowadays, many scenic spots have only become historical terms, but there are still many scenic spots for future generations to enjoy, such as "Mountain Lake", "Sword Test Stone", "Mountain Waterfall", "Fairy Footprints" and "Guanyin Cliff", and many legends are left for future generations to ponder.
1. Rocks piled up: There are many rocks piled up in the mountain behind the temple, such as turtles from the sky and figures on the journey to the west. It is said that after Qin Shihuang unified the whole country, it was a flat mountain, and people used whips to drive stones into the sea, and the stone drivers slacked off. When I got to the hawksbill mountain and saw the sea in front of me, I thought I could fix it. When I woke up after a sleep, the rocks had settled down, so I stayed here today.
2. Guanyin Cliff: There is a cliff with a height of 100 meters between the temple and the turtle lake called Guanyin Cliff. This temple used to be surrounded by villages. There was a widow in the village. Because she couldn't stand the villagers' false accusations, she made a malicious wish in front of the Buddha in the temple, so she climbed the mountain and jumped off the cliff behind the temple to prove her innocence. Thanks to the rescue of Guanyin, it is safe and sound, so it is called "Guanyin Cliff".
3. Sword test: Manjusri Bodhisattva was once a pharmacist Dojo and should be in the Buddhist temple. The tortoise mountain god prayed to the bodhisattva for Buddha Between the answers, the Bodhisattva tried the stone symbolizing the beauty of Buddhism with a sword, just like a sword, which cut off all the troubles in the world. This trace is reserved for future generations to pay tribute to.
4. Fairy Foot Stone: There is a huge stone named "Fairy Foot Stone" behind the Buddhist Temple. According to legend, turtles disturbed people in ancient times. Villagers came to the Buddhist temple to pray for Guanyin Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva showed their magical powers, and the tortoise was turned into stone, leaving footprints where the Bodhisattva stood. Therefore, it is called "fairy foot stone".
