Nanshan Temple is located in the south of Zhongshan Bridge in Xiangcheng District, formerly known as Chongfu Temple in Fu Bao. It was built in the 24th year of Tang Kaiyuan (736), with an area of 40,000 square meters, 1983. It is listed as the first batch of key temples of Han Buddhism in China by the State Council, and it is a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit.
This temple was originally built by Chen Yong, a Beijing official, when he moved south to Zhangzhou in the Tang Dynasty. Because of the magnificent architecture, he was falsely accused of building a palace for rebellion and changing a temple to avoid harm. The temples flourished in Ming Dynasty, and the distribution of drinking clouds of Zen Lin Ji School also originated from this. Later, it was divided into southern Fujian and even Southeast Asian countries, becoming the ancestral home of drinking clouds.
The existing buildings were rebuilt in the late Qing Dynasty, but they still retain the Tang style. The main buildings are the Heavenly King Hall, the Ursa Major Hall, the Jingyi Hall and the Sutra Pavilion. Nanshan Temple is rich in cultural relics such as inscriptions and ancient books, which have been called "five treasures" and "eight victories" since ancient times.
Chen Yuanguang Cultural Park is located in Yuankeng Village, Punan Town. In 669 AD, in the first year of Emperor Taizong's reign (AD 669), Chen Yuanguang, along with his father Zheng Chen, led an army into Fujian to pacify the rebellion. In the second year of Tang Dynasty (686), he was appointed as the first secretariat of Zhangzhou by the emperor. During his reign in Zhangzhou, he devoted himself to strengthening national unity and spreading Central Plains culture and science and technology.
Developing production, setting up schools and implementing the rule of law have won the love of the masses. Chen Yuanguang died in the second year of Tang Jingyun (7 1 1). Chen Yuanguang's tomb faces south, with Weng Zhong, pommel horse, crouching tiger, kneeling sheep and a pair of stone statues and columns on both sides facing each other in turn, which is quite a tomb style.
