It was founded in Song Chunhua for five years (994) and completed in Jiayou for two years (1057), lasting 63 years. "Bhikuni" comes from Buddhism, transliterated as "Bhikuni Buddha", abbreviated as "Bhikuni Buddha", and Bhikuni Tower means Bhikuni Tower. The tower is an octagonal nine-story pavilion-style brick tower with a height of 55.7 meters. Taki is made of stone octagon with relief on it, engraved with stories such as Asoka's conversion to Buddhism in the peacock dynasty of ancient India. The tower is made of blue bricks, with waist eaves on each floor, double eaves on the lower three floors and flat seats on the second to fourth floors. The eaves and diameter of the tower decrease step by step from bottom to top, and the points should be closed appropriately. The first to fourth floors of the tower are equipped with tower core columns with coupon holes, which can be built step by step. Starting from the fifth floor, it can be built into a solid. When climbing the tower, you must turn left 90 degrees along the waist eaves outside the tower wall and enter the upper door opening. There is an iron tower brake on the tower, which consists of a bowl, wheels, a treasure cover, a round lamp, a rising moon and a treasure bead. Eight chains hung from the treasure cover and were taken over by eight iron diamonds on the eaves of the ninth tower, and continued underground in the tower to play a role in lightning protection. Bizhita is magnificent, beautiful in shape, complex in structure and appropriate in proportion. It is a typical Song Dynasty style and a landmark building of Lingyan Temple. Ceng Gong, a writer in the Song Dynasty, wrote a poem praising "the statutory meditation room faces the steep valley, and the pagoda faces the mountains".

Thousand-Buddha Hall

Named after the large number of Buddha statues in the temple. This temple was built in Zhenguan period of Tang Dynasty (627-649) and rebuilt in Song Jiayou, Ming Jiajing and Wanli years. The existing wood structure is Ming Dynasty. The Thousand-Buddha Hall is built on a mountain, with a high platform, seven rooms wide and four rooms deep, and a single eaves on the top of the hall, slowly lifting the far eaves. There is a huge bucket arch under the eaves, with gorgeous wooden edges and colorful paintings. The eaves are long and towering, and they have the potential to spread their wings and fly. There are eight stone pillars under the front eaves. The pillars are carved with dragons and phoenixes, flowers, leaves, water waves, lotus petals and precious lotus flowers. Exquisite carving, highlighting the style of Tang and Song Dynasties.

There is a "three-body Buddha" in the center of the temple. In Chinese, "Dharma Body" means that the Buddha's innate dharma is embodied in itself, and it is called Pilu Jinna Buddha, which was painted with rattan tires in the second year of Song Zhiping (1065) and transported from Qiantang to Lingyan. On the east side is the "Baoshen" named Lushenafo, which was cast with 2500 Jin of copper in the 13th year of Chenghua (1477). On the west is "Shi Ying", named Sakyamuni Buddha, also made of copper, which was cast in the 23rd year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1544). There is a spiral bun on the top of the Buddha's head, with graceful posture, tall brow and dignified eyes. The three Buddha statues are patchwork, dignified in appearance, smooth in clothing lines, concise in clothing and full of artistic appeal.

The Thousand Buddha Hall has been praised by tourists and experts for its 40 colorful Lohan clay sculptures, of which 32 were carved in the third year of Song Zhiping (1066) and 8 were carved in the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty (1573- 1620). These statues are all sitting on 80 cm high brick corsets, and the height of the top of the Lohan statue from the seat surface is between 105 and 1 10 cm. In shaping these arhats, ancient artists broke the traditional Buddhist sculpture mode, paid attention to realism, and had a strong secular atmosphere and real life interest. They describe God with form, express their feelings with God, and show their hearts with emotion. They pay attention to embody the personality and characteristics of each arhat and portray the inner world of arhat, making it real, vivid and close to life. Look at its shape, bow, stick to the ground, cross your hands, sit up, talk with your fingers, or listen carefully, all of which are accurate and vivid. Look at his expression, some are brave and angry, some are kind and mature, some argue, some close their eyes, some smile, some bow their heads and whisper, some overlook, and all are meticulous. Look at its temperament, some graceful, some shabby, some elegant, all vivid, can be described as lifelike, ready to move. In addition, the relationship between human body and clothing is also handled properly. The straightness of lines, the ups and downs of reality and reality, the changes of clothing pleats at the moment of action, and the texture of fabrics are all accurate and vivid, with a strong sense of rhythm. A medical professional said that through Lohan's robes, we can see the ancients' accurate grasp of human anatomy. In addition, during the maintenance of 1982, it was also found that these painted arhats also have abdominal cavities like human bodies, and there are viscera made of silk in the abdominal cavities. In addition, there are five baht coins, Kaiyuan Bao Tong, the first three generations of copper coins in the Song Dynasty, bronze mirrors in the Song Dynasty, ink inscriptions and other cultural relics. 19 12 years, Liang Qichao, a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, visited here and praised the Lohan clay sculpture in the Thousand Buddha Hall as "the first sculpture at sea" and wrote an inscription in his own hand. 1987, He Jingzhi wrote after visiting the Thousand Buddhas Hall in Lingyan: "It's better to paint a god than to convey the spirit, and the pen from the gods is to write people. Forty arhats in Lingyan, each evokes a poem to talk about. Liu Haisu, the master of art, came to Lingyan Temple and wrote a eulogy that "Lingyan clay sculpture is the best in the world, with vivid flesh and blood".

Under heavy pressure, the mouth is wide open, the face is twisted, the waist of the limbs is bent, and the muscles of the whole body are protruding, which gives people the exaggeration of strength and the hardship of bearing weight; Some carved knights straddle the lion and play polo with curved sticks in their hands; Some carved playful cubs, which were very awkward; There are also elegant carved costumes and entertainment scenes of long silk dances. Relief shows the intelligence and superb carving skills of ancient working people.

Zhuoxiquan, Baihequan and Shuanghequan

Zhuo Xiquan, also known as Zhang Xiquan, was handed down from generation to generation as a legal monk. He struck the rock with a tin sheet and the water rushed out with Zhang Xi. Baihequan, also known as Shuanghe Spring, is named after the legend that when the legal Zen master was looking for water, he was instructed by the woodcutter in the mountain and saw the spring water where Shuanghe screamed.

Spring water at the edge of the cliff

Located in Nanliwei, Chongxing Bridge, Lingyan Temple, it was named after the spring water leaked from the gap in the cliff. The cliff here is also called "dishuiya" because the spring water runs down the wall. Because every time Xia Guang glows, the water drops are full of brilliance, so Emperor Qianlong named it "Yuhua Rock" and wrote a poem "I didn't see the sky flying, but the rock fell to make smallpox".
