History of Jingshan Temple:

Incense reached its peak in the Southern Song Dynasty, ranking first among the five temples in the south of the Yangtze River. Its scale is extremely grand, with 1700 monks and 1000 temple buildings. Due to the war and disrepair, the original temple buildings have basically disappeared. Now there is only one bell tower, which contains a clock in the first year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, three iron buddhas in the Song Dynasty, and a mountain ancestor monument from Yuan Dynasty to Mindfulness.

In the fourth year of Tang Tianbao (745), Zen master Faqin went to Jingshan Jiean. In the third year of the Tang Dynasty (768), Jingshan Temple was built in Tang Daizong. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Xiao Zong wrote the book Jingshan, Sheng Xing and manjuji.

Jingshan Temple originally belonged to the "Tauren School". After four years of advice in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 130), it became the "Linji Sect", and its reputation grew stronger, and it was listed as the first of the "Five Mountains and Ten Temples in the South of the Yangtze River" (the "Five Mountains" are the five jungles of Jingshan, Lingyin, Jingci, Tiantong and Ashoka).

Jingshan Temple occupies a very important position in the history of Sino-Japanese Buddhism and even Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges. During the Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Japanese monks visited the mountains one after another. In the middle and late Southern Song Dynasty, famous Japanese monks Junzhi, Yuaner, Wu Benjue Xin and Nanpu Zhaoming successively came to the temple to study Zen. Yuaner (posthumous title Buddhist) and Nanpu Zhaoming (posthumous title Daying Buddhist) studied Zen in Jingshan Temple and lived there for several years. After returning home, they ran around and publicized the patriarchal clan system in Lin Ji.

At the same time, they brought back China's tea classics and camellia utensils, and sent back the technology of growing tea and the ceremony of tea banquet to Japan, so that the "camellia banquet" and the tea ceremony of China Zen Temple were systematically introduced to Japan. After the tea banquet, it gradually evolved into a "Japanese tea ceremony" and became a ceremony of the Japanese shogunate and upper class.

After 1983, several groups of Japanese monks came to the temple to worship the Sect every year. (15th edition of Yuhang County Records, page 805) Supplement: Jingshan Temple was restored in1April, 997.
