Brief introduction of scenic spots in Shuanglin Temple:
Shuanglin Temple is located in Luohantang, Fotai Town, Yiwu City, Zhejiang Province. It is famous for 15 dynasties and 15 centuries. It was founded by Dharma Kanji and Liang Wudi in 520. Even more, hundreds of imperial envoys of Chen and Sui Dynasties defended it, and the emperors of Wen and Yang Dynasties wrote books to comfort his disciple Hui Ze, making his reputation even more shocking and famous. Shuanglin Temple has a large scale in history, and emperors of all dynasties have given generous support, which is comparable to ordinary temples. In the Northern Song Dynasty, there were more than 0/200 monks and nuns, and there were more than 200 monks and nuns. Founded by Chen, it was even more grand, so it was known as the third in the world, the first in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the great temple in eastern Zhejiang. In the Song Dynasty, it was listed as one of the five temples in the jungle. In the third year of Emperor Yingzong's reign, he gave plaques in Baolin Temple, and in the second year of Hui Zong Grand View, he gave ten hectares of land.
Shuanglin Temple has been robbed repeatedly, and the incense never dies. After hundreds of years of sustained prosperity, in Hui Zong for three years, Fangnao revolted and the temple was destroyed. Unfortunately, it doesn't exist. Gaozong lived in Shaoxing for two years, led by his descendants, raised funds for reconstruction and donated more than 100,000 money temples. It started in that spring and was caused by three years of winter. It is 80 feet high, only half its width, solemn and wonderful, protruding from the sky. In the fourth year of Shaoxing, Dongyang Jia deleted Tingyou as Zhong and built Sanzang Hall. In the Yuan Dynasty, due to the worship of Lamaism by the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, Shuanglin Temple declined, and the door of the main hall was destroyed, turning into a hazel tree, leaving only the gate, Tibetan Hall, Monk Hall and Loyal Hall. In the second autumn of Shunshang's arrival in Zheng Zheng, Zen Master Yunlong came to Sara and said that he had made a fortune and accumulated a lot of achievements. In the seven years before and after this, waste was replaced by new ones, and Sara was revived. It was built one after another in the Ming Dynasty, four times, and the work plan was 17 years.
The real decline of Shuanglin Temple began in the Qing Dynasty. Forty-five years after the reign of Emperor Gaozong, the temple was caught in a fire, but it was not easy to repair it at once. Only the back hall has been built, and there are five monks' houses. In the seventh year of Tongzhi (186 1), the Taiping Army captured Yiwu, and the wall bricks collapsed and the rafters were destroyed, leaving only two houses in the monk's family, Renhexin. In the seventh year of Tongzhi (1868), the eminent monk, Xuelian and Xue Chengdun invited Dong to rebuild the temple, and the pigeon work ended in autumn and August and winter and November of that year. In the twenty-seventh year of Guangxu, Hui Quan, a Tiantai monk, came to the temple in Wuxi, but he was saddened by this scenic spot, so he asked Sun Yuxian of Fenghua to put down his figure. After more than 20 years of miserable management, he built the Great Compassion Pavilion, carved Guanyin with thousands of hands, and had 84 great compassion statues, which were completely new, but the old temple gate was not repaired. /kloc-in the winter of 0/928, Master Huiquan died in the west, and his disciples had their own plans. They went into business in partnership, competed for the position of abbot, and set fire to the temple, which led to the robbery of the newly-built Great Compassion Pavilion. After the fire, there are only 50 dilapidated mountain gates and monk's rooms, 5 main halls, a total of 60 rooms. Compared with more than 200 rooms in Song Dynasty, it is obviously desolate and dilapidated.
At the beginning of 1949, Shuanglin Temple had only a dozen houses, such as Shanmen, Guanyin Pavilion, Middle Temple and Shangdian Temple, and only a dozen monks were left in the temple. 1958, Shuanglin Temple was completely destroyed, the original mountain gate became a reservoir dam, and the former site was submerged under water. The largest industrial clock in the southeast, which is more than ten feet high and has Brahma and Han Shurangama Sutra, was also smashed into pieces.

It is 33m high, 4 1m wide and 30m deep, and covers an area of 2,000 square meters. The bronze statue of tuas has also been finished.
