Guling has been a treasure trove of geomantic omen since ancient times. It was built in the Yin and Shang Dynasties, where the story of "The List of Gods" was set, and where ancestors and Nu Wa practiced truth. During the reign of the Liang Dynasty in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, a famous monk and singer who served as the abbot of Zhaotong Temple in Beijing and instructed monks and nuns all over the country for 40 years practiced here. In the sixth year of Tang Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong specially invited the elders of Lingshan Temple to Chang 'an to inquire about Buddhism. During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Lingshan Temple was rebuilt. During the period, the temple covers an area of more than 500 mu, with more than 200 monks, ancient bells, wooden fish, tourists and strong incense. There is Nuwa Palace on the west side of the temple, which is said to be the place where Zhou Wang burns incense.

During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Hui Yu, the county magistrate of Qixian County, wrote ten scenic spots of Lingshan: "Dangerous rocks are rare, the peaks are lush, persimmons are flowing, the pots are full of flowers at a time, the rocks are stormy for nine days, the cliffs are filled with dumplings, the swords are falling, the dragons in the East China Sea are singing, and the tigers are roaring in the West Mountain". Sun Zhenglan, the imperial adviser during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, wrote a poem on the cliff: "The mountains are brilliant, Yun Lan is in the Han Dynasty, the green jade is flying in the spring, the three benevolence, six sages and seven sages are noble, and the outstanding people are beautiful through the ages."
