A brief introduction to the history and culture of Lingyin Temple: It was built in the first year of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (326), covering an area of about 87,000 square meters. The founder of Lingyin Temple is West Indian monk Huili. In the Southern Dynasties, Liang Wudi granted land and expanded it. In the 28th year of Emperor Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1689), Emperor Kangxi was given the name "Yunlin Temple" when he visited the south.

The founder of Lingyin Temple is West Indian monk Huili. At the beginning of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, cranes swam from the Central Plains to Zhejiang and Wulin (now Hangzhou). When he saw a mountain peak, he sighed: "This is a small ridge in jiusan, Zhuguoling, Zhongtian. I don't know when it came. When the Buddha was alive, he was mostly hidden by immortals. " Then a temple called Lingyin was built in front of the peak. Just by listening to the name, you can know that it is hidden in the deep mountains and the environment is quiet.

Qian Liu, King of wuyue in the Five Dynasties, asked Master Yongming to give him the name Lingyin New Temple. During the Jiading period in Song Ningzong, Lingyin Temple was known as one of the "Five Mountains" in the south of Zen. During the reign of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, the Buddhist monk Lingyin raised funds for reconstruction. It took 18 years to build the temple, and its scale jumped to the top of the southeast.
