Description

#hanshans #temple
Also known as "Cold Mountain Temple" the name conjures up images of a snowy alpine monastery. But Hanshan Temple isn’t named for its setting. Rather it honors one of its former abbots, the legendary monk and poet Hanshan. Still, the temple’s contemplative park-like atmosphere, its refined architecture — and especially its famous bell — have inspired both serenity and poetry since its founding 1,500 years ago.

History of the Temple

Hanshan Temple was founded during the reign of Emperor Tianjian in the Southern Liang dynasty (502-557). According to legend, the monk and poet Hanshan joined the monastery and became its abbot one hundred years later during the reign of Emperor Taizong (627–649). Also around this time, the poet Zhang Ji wrote his famous verses. The great bell mentioned in the poem is long gone, but the current bell was crafted to the same specifications.

The temple itself has also been rebuilt more than once over the centuries, first by a local governor named Sun Chengyou during the early Song dynasty (976-983) and then by a Ming dynasty monk named Changchong after it was destroyed in a battle in 1367. The temple’s present structure dates to the Qing dynasty (1644–1911). During the Republic of China era (1912–49), the temple was deserted for a long time. Then in 1941, the politician and military leader Gao Guanwu rebuilt the Sutra Library. The temple’s newest building, the Puming Pagoda, was built in 1995.
