Founder of Chaoyang Heping Dafeng

Father of Dafeng, a monk in Song Dynasty. The common name Ling Lin Omo, also known as Lintong Sou, is known as the founder of Dafeng. Baoyuan was born in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province in the second year of Northern Song Dynasty (1039). Born two years younger (1095), Jinshi, served as Shaoxing county magistrate for several years. Angry at Chao Gang's corruption, he abandoned his official position and became a monk. In the second year of Xuanhe (1 120), from Fujian to Haoping (now heping town) in Chaoyang County, there were droughts, agricultural failures, epidemics and famines. In order to save the people from the disaster, Huo Ling (now Lingquan Temple) stayed in the building behind Weiqiao Mountain, set up an altar on the lion's tail stone (now Dafeng Stone) on the side of the mountain to pray for the people, and treated the people with his superb medical skills. The villagers revered him and kept him. Dafeng then settled in Houlinghuo. At that time, there was a big river (Lianjiang) in Haoping, with wide water depth and urgent waves. Every time there is a storm, the villagers often capsize, and Dafeng sympathizes with them. Li Hong is willing to build a bridge across the river. While conceiving the bridge construction plan, he raised funds from the villagers to raise funds for the bridge construction. This move won the hearts of the people, and for a time the people were enthusiastic and donated money and materials. Going to Fujian alone to raise money for five years, the villagers have doubts; In the first year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 127), grain, wood and stone were shipped back from Fujian, and craftsmen were invited, and the masses suddenly realized. Under the auspices of Dafeng, the 1 6 hole was built in less than1year. Due to overwork, he died in that year 10.
