The History and Culture of Bao Hua Temple
The name of this scene is very cultural. Brahma is the provincial name of Brahma, which means purity and silence. Zhong Fan not only refers to the bells of Buddhist temples, but also refers to the Sanskrit sounds conveyed by distant bells. In Wang Menggeng's poem "Bao Hua Zhong Fan", there is an interpretation of the bell of Bao Hua Temple: "The bell of the mountain guards the tree slowly, and the wind drives the Brahma cloud low. Cut off the head of the stubborn stone and call the flying ape away. " Here, the bell of Bao Hua Temple has the magical power of Buddhism, which can touch stubborn stones and surpass apes.

"Deep in the white clouds, the bell rings and thousands of mountains break. Laughing against the fence is independent, planting a pine in the moonlight. " This four-line poem was written by Ye Fangmo, a Xinjin who was the editor-in-chief of Daoguang County Records in the Qing Dynasty and once served as the magistrate of Taihe County in Yunnan Province. This poem has a lofty artistic conception and a sonorous rhyme. If Wang Menggeng's poems are objectively described, Ye's poems focus on expressing his feelings, just like an extraordinary pine tree under the silvery moonlight.
