Guangjin Temple in Dalingshan, Qunxing District, Gaotang Town, Raoping County has been rebuilt since 1989. Headed by Wu, a female layman, she tried hard to raise funds, and abbot Shi and other good friends at home and abroad donated money to build mountains and roads, cut slopes and build buildings. There are many halls, which are grand in scale and spectacular in momentum, attracting cranes to fly and become a rising star in Panyu, East Guangdong.
According to legend, Guangjin 'an was built in the Tang Dynasty. Only the wall is still there. In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the geographer He came here and praised it as a treasure trove of geomantic omen, leaving behind the words "Carp buried in a tree is a noble person". From 1989, a Yi monk named Wu issued a grand wish to rebuild a large-scale temple here. Built year after year, it has become quite large, adding a brand-new and stylish temple to Rao Yi.
The temple is located in the northwest to the southeast, and is built on the mountain, with a total construction area of 1000 square meters and a total investment of 1000 million yuan. Up to now, the right quasi-Bodhi Hall (more than 300 square meters), Zuoyu Buddha Hall (200 square meters), Guanyin Hall (200 square meters), Taifo Hall (150 square meters), offices, monasteries, fasting halls and so on have been built. The bronze statue of Guanyin in Guanyin Hall weighs 3.4 tons. Six tall and exquisite stone dragon columns are erected at the entrance of the quasi-Bodhi Hall, which is refreshing. In front of the temple stood a large iron incense burner weighing 600 Jin, which was wide and high, and cigarettes curled up. The Jade Buddha Hall is dedicated to the white jade Buddha in Myanmar, weighing 8 tons, with Manjusri Bodhisattva and Bodhisattva Bodhisattva statues on both sides. There is a big Thai Buddha statue in the Taifo Palace, including two statues of Allen and Kaya, a big clock and a big drum. Extraordinary momentum, antique, gorgeous decoration, very charming.
One of the wonders of the temple is He Quan, also known as "the first spring in Lingdong". 1989, reconstruction began. When the temple was built, a stone with a height of 1 m and a width of nearly m was first found, which looked like Maitreya Buddha (processed and enshrined in Maitreya Buddha Hall). Later, two springs about 2 meters apart were found under the stone, which are rich and unusual, sweet and light, not only for drinking, but also for inexhaustible construction water. People named it "Harmonious Spring" because there are Heshan in the north and several mountains like cranes in Fujian. 1995, Chen, deputy director of the organization department of Chaozhou Municipal Committee, named this spring "the first spring in Lingdong" and carved it into a stone tablet.
