His teacher told him to "ride the current and stop on the path". Zen master Faqin lived on the path hill, sent rice, oil and salt to his neighbors far and near, and helped build a temple from the Zen people. Since then, the inaccessible Jingshan Mountain has become famous all over the world.
This mountain has been built for 27 years. In the 1940s, Emperor Taizong gave the name "Jingshan Temple".

Jingshan is an important link of cultural exchange between China and Japan. Jingshan Temple has become the crown of "Five Mountains and Ten Temples" in the south of the Yangtze River, with a high reputation. People from Japanese Buddhist circles have come to Jingshan to learn from the scriptures. From the Southern Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, 433 Japanese monks came to China to study Buddhism and seek Buddhism, and many of them learned Taoism from Jingshan. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, 27 monks from China went to Japan to give lectures, including 8 disciples from Jingshan. Lin Jizong, who spread from Jingshan to Japan, has become one of the three major schools of Buddhism in Japan today.

Historical Significance of Jingshan Zen Tea Culture
First, the case of Jingshan proves the close relationship between "tea and Zen" in the evolution of tea culture in China. The rise and spread of tea culture in China is the first to promote Zen. Jingshan is no exception. Although Jingshan is not a famous mountain, Jingshan Temple ranks among the famous temples because of the appearance of eminent monks in past dynasties. The textual research on Jingshan tea shows that this place became attached to tea, which began with the founder of Jingshan Temple, Zen Master Faqin. Jingshan tea was planted and passed down by myself. A large number of historical pictures and texts collected in Jingshan Tea Examination all reveal the great relationship between the rise and fall of ancient Jingshan temples, and reflect the historical truth of "tea and Zen are integrated, tea and Zen follow blindly and coexist". As a result, people's understanding and recognition of the position and role of the relationship between tea and Zen in the history of China tea culture has been deepened.
Secondly, Jingshan is the place where Cha Sheng Lu Yu wrote. There have been many disputes over this matter, one day in Huzhou and one day in Yuhang. During the Tang Dynasty, Lu Yuhong-chien lived in seclusion in the snow and wrote The Book of Tea. He often uses this spring to make tea and taste its ranking, thinking it is sweet and a cool cloud of competition. According to Mr. Zhao Dachuan's textual research, Wei's "Xue Heng" was an alias of Yuhang at that time, while "Lu Yu Spring" was clearly said to be "on the side of Shuangxi Road in Wushan, 35 miles northwest of the county, that is, the east foot of Jingshan."
Thirdly, Jingshan is the source of Japanese tea ceremony. In the Song Dynasty, a "tea feast" prevailed in Jingshan Temple. That's not property, but the "clean rules" that Jingshan monks talk about with tea. This is also a ceremony of inviting guests instead of drinking tea in ancient temples. The tea banquet was held in the clean and elegant Yueming Hall, which was decorated with celebrity calligraphy and painting, decorated with new flowers and a special tea set. According to legend, its programs are: offering tea, smelling incense, watching color and tasting taste. The popular "tea ceremony" in Japan today originated from tea banquets. According to the Japanese History of Tea Culture, the tea ceremony originated from the "tea house" and the tea house originated from the "Mountain Yuan Qing Regulations" in the Song Dynasty. The Clear Rules of Mountain Garden was brought back to Japan by Renzhi from Jingshan in two years, *** 124 1 * *, and based on this, the Clear Rules of Dongfu Temple was compiled, including a tea pond with strict procedures. The book also said: Zi, Mu Xi, Zhao Gan, Li, Li Jue, Cui Bai and other famous calligraphy and paintings were hung in the monk's hall held by the teahouse, and the calligraphy and ink of Jingshan founder, Jingshan teacher, Xu Tang and Zhiyu were posted, and porcelain vases and Tianmu tea bowls were placed side by side to make tea. These records fully prove that Jingshan Tea Banquet is the source of Japanese tea.
According to legend, in the Song Dynasty, Buddhism rose, incense flourished, and tea was used to help Zen, and Zen Buddhism became a fashion. Tea and Zen have an indissoluble bond. Jingshan, which ranks first among the ten temples in the Five Mountains, is famous for Zen, which contributes to the prosperity of tea. Every spring, Jingshan holds a tea banquet, presided over by the master himself, and then presents tea to the monks. At that time, many people went into the mountains to drink tea and talk about Taoism. Su Dongpo, a great writer at that time, longed for Jingshan's reputation for a long time, and one day he came to visit Jingshan Temple. When the abbot saw his ordinary clothes, he thought he was just an ordinary pilgrim, but he didn't agree. Simply say: sit down. He turned to the young monk and shouted, tea. The young monk served an ordinary cup of tea at the back end. After a little greeting, the abbot thought the visitor had an extraordinary speech and distinguished manner, so he changed his mind and asked the young monk to offer tea. After some in-depth discussion, the abbot learned that the visitor was Su Dongpo, a great poet, and couldn't help saying, Please sit down. Then he asked the young monk to offer fragrant tea and studied ink and paper for Mo Bao. On reflection, Mr Dongpo wrote a couplet. The first part is to sit down, please sit down and sit up; The second couplet is tea, tea and fragrant tea. After reading it, the abbot was flushed and ashamed.
