During the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, the poet Li Bai visited Jiuhua Mountain several times and enjoyed the beauty of the mountain. Jiu Feng is like a lotus, touching the scene. In the poem "Jiuzi Mountain Becomes Jiuhua Mountain", he sang with his friends, saying that "there are two wonderful things, and Jiuhua Mountain opens in Lingshan", so "Jiuzi Mountain" was changed to Jiuhua Mountain. Li Bai chanted Jiuhuashan's poem: "Yesterday, on Jiujiang (Yangtze River), Jiuhuasheng was seen from afar, and the Tianhe River hung green water, showing nine hibiscus. I want to wave, who can keep up? You are the master, lying here in Yun Song. " Among them, the poem "Tianhe hangs green water, showing nine hibiscus" has become an eternal swan song depicting the beauty of Jiuhua Mountain. When Liu Yuxi visited the mountains in the Tang Dynasty, he praised: "The view of the strange peak shocks the soul" and "it is the beauty of nature". A picture of Wang Wei by the river is a poem written by Li Bai for thousands of years.
Jiuhua Mountain is the Dojo of the Tibetan King and Bodhisattva. Jin Qiaojue was stationed in Xijiuhua, where he worked hard for decades. In 794, Tang Zhenyuan was ninety-nine years old and lost his life. Three years later, his body is still "brightly colored, soft to the touch and full of voice, like shaking a golden lock". According to Jinqiao's behavior and many signs, the monks decided that he was the incarnation of the Bodhisattva Dizang, so they built a stone tower to worship his body and called him the "Golden Dizang" Bodhisattva. Jiuhua Mountain became the Dojo of Tibetan Bodhisattva, which gained a great reputation in China and even in the world, and gradually formed a holy place of Tibetan adaptation, which is also called Manjusri of Wutai Mountain, Pu Xian of Emei Mountain and Guanyin of Putuo Mountain. According to the Records of Chizhou Prefecture compiled in the Ming Dynasty and Records of Jiuhua Mountain in the Qing Dynasty, in the fifth year of Longan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (i.e. 40 1 year), a Buddhist monk came to Beidu Mountain to preach the scriptures and founded Mao 'an. Anhui Tongzhi has been published for 40 years. In the five years of Long 'an in the Jin Dynasty, Zen Master Beidu built a temple in Jiuhua Mountain. One hundred years later, in 503, a monk named Khufu lived in Baoshi Mountain and built the Khufu Temple as a Dojo.

If the officer is unknown, it will be abolished. During this period, Buddhism sowed the seeds of Buddhism by virtue of its special functions (such as drinking cups) or by virtue of hometown elders/recommendations (such as Tan Shu), but ultimately failed to settle down in Jiuhua.
Buddhism is based on Jiuhua (middle and late Tang Dynasty). At the end of Tang Kaiyuan, Zhuo Jiuhua was hidden in the golden land, and Dong Jujian drank and closed his eyes for penance, which moved Zhuge Jie and others to buy Tan's old land and build Huacheng Temple. After Di Chin's death, the corpse was not damaged, and later generations built a corpse tower to worship it, and the Huacheng Temple in Jiuhuashan turned into the spirit of the Tibetan Bodhisattva. The reputation of the Dizang Dojo gradually spread. During this period, Buddhism was influenced by asceticism, and the famous monk laid the foundation stone. Li Bai changed Jiuzi Mountain to Jiuhua Mountain, which further increased the reputation of Jiuhua Mountain. Zen in the late Southern Song Dynasty was one of the four famous mountains in Ming and Qing Dynasties. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Lin Jizong and Cao Dongzong were introduced to Jiuhua Mountain first, which provided blood for Buddhism in Jiuhua Mountain. In the meantime, there are Jiuhua Poetry Society and Jiuhua Poetry Collection composed of a large number of poets and monks such as Xitan. He became famous for his anti-Qin Gui and persecution. After his death, he was honored as Dingguang Buddha Temple. During the Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi, Fan Chengda and other famous ministers visited Jiuhua Mountain; The four emperors in the early Qing dynasty, especially the flawless monks in the Ming dynasty, died at the age of 100 and were in good health, hence the name Buddha, making Jiuhua Mountain the crown of all rivers and mountains in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties and the first of the four famous Buddhist mountains.
Buddhism here mainly relies on its own initiative to absorb new nutrients, and famous monks come forth in large numbers. With the help of scholars and emperors, Buddhism in Jiuhuashan flourished. Jiuhuashan Buddhist Association protects religion (from the Republic of China to before the founding of New China). Jiuhuashan established a Buddhist association to form an association to protect religion. Jiuhuashan Buddhist College was established to strengthen Buddhist research and exchanges, and extensively enhance exchanges with foreign Buddhist circles such as South Korea, India and Japan. Buddhism here mainly relies on internal self-reliance, self-improvement, expanding foreign exchanges and expanding international influence. Since the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC).

During this period, although the Buddhist community strongly supported the feat of resisting US aggression and aiding Korea, the normal activities of Buddhism were disturbed. After the reform and opening-up, Jiuhuashan seized the opportunity to set up an association and a Buddhist college to protect cultural relics and carry out academic exchanges. With the opening to the outside world and the rise of tourism, Buddhism in Jiuhuashan really went to the world. When Liu Yuxi visited the mountains in the Tang Dynasty, he praised: "The view of the strange peak shocks the soul" and "it is the beauty of nature". A picture of Wang Wei by the river is a poem written by Li Bai for thousands of years. The literati who came here were fascinated by the mysterious and beautiful scenery of Jiuhua Mountain, and at the same time they often expressed their yearning for the past, leaving many beautiful poems.
