1937, the Japanese invaders invaded China, and the war immediately spread to Wutai Mountain, the holy place of Buddhism, and the tranquility of the cool world was completely broken. Wutai Mountain is surging, and the bombing of Japanese aggressors' planes trampled the pure land of Foshan into a hell on earth. The bloody reality awakened the monks who had always been detached from the secular world. Monks in Manshan Temple shared hardships with people from all walks of life all over the country, and devoted themselves to the fierce national anti-Japanese struggle with the concept of "punishing evil and promoting good". Monks in the whole mountain set up a Buddhist salvation alliance, electrified the whole country, and called on the national Buddhist community to participate in the Anti-Japanese War. "Get on the horse and kill the enemy, get off the horse and learn Buddha." "Unless the enemy is removed, it is difficult to level Mount Tai" has become the knowledge of monks in the whole mountain. In the grand historical picture of the national anti-Japanese war, the monks of Wutai Mountain, together with the people of the whole country, went through fire and water, wave upon wave, and wrote a heroic and distinctive historical chapter with their blood and lives. The slogans of "being a monk does not forget patriotism" and "protecting the family is protecting education" inspired them to join the anti-Japanese battlefield and interpreted their lofty spiritual realm. Hundreds of monks from all over the mountain participated in the national salvation training class organized by the alliance in batches. They joined the Eighth Route Army, organized the Self-Defense Forces, and joined the armed forces, district teams and other anti-Japanese armed forces. They took advantage of their special position and environment, actively participated in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression in various forms, tried their best to rescue the Eighth Route Army and the masses detained by the Japanese army, and fought bravely against the Japanese aggressors and traitors. The soldiers and civilians in the base area kindly praised the monks in Wutai Mountain as "revolutionary monks". The Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei Military Region also specially organized these monks and set up a company called "Monk Company".

During the eight-year Anti-Japanese War, 4/kloc-0 temples in the whole mountain were trampled and damaged by the Japanese invaders. Before and after the whole mountain participated in the Anti-Japanese War, there were more than 0/000 monks/kloc, with hundreds of casualties. Monk suffered heavy casualties in the battle. After the Anti-Japanese War, many monks who were still alive bid farewell to Wutai Mountain and continued to go to the front line of the battlefield to liberate the whole country. He gave his blood and life for national liberation and the establishment of the Republic. Up to now, there are still many precious revolutionary historical sites on the mountain. Anti-Japanese posters of that year can still be seen on the wall of Haihui Temple. There are mottled anti-Japanese slogans on the gable of the ancient Buddhist temple in Jingangku-all of which are telling the unforgettable history of that year and recording the touching story that the monks of Wutai Mountain shared joys and sorrows with the people of the whole country and went to the national disaster together.
