Lumen Temple National Forest Park is located in the southeast suburb of Xiangyang City, in the middle reaches of Hanshui River, 2 kilometers away from the city center and 15 kilometers away from Xiangyang City, and is close to Xiangcheng District and Xiangyang City. Its main attraction, the Millennium Temple Lumen Temple, was built in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
the scenic area is full of cliffs, gurgling mountain springs, whirling green seas and green cages of tobacco trees, presenting a magnificent forest landscape of "spring flowers, summer shade, autumn fruits and winter greens". Lion Mountain, Xianglu Mountain, Lijiashan Mountain, Lumen Temple Mountain and Bawang Mountain are winding in turn, and the five peaks are strange. Lumen ancient temple is located in it, and the "Jingxiang key" ancient road runs through the north and south. The "Lingyi Spring < P >" waterfall has been around since ancient times. The ancient prose poet and astrologer spoke highly of the landscape and feng shui of Lumen Mountain.
Lumen was originally named Suling Temple, according to <; < Records of the Qing and Xiangyang governments > > Records: During the Jianwu period in the Han Dynasty, Emperor (Liu Xiu) toured Suling Mountain and dreamt of mountain gods in Xi Yu's dream. He ordered Yu to set up a temple on the mountain, carved two stone deer in the doorway, and the people called it Lumen Temple, so it was a famous Buddhist resort from Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties to Tang and Song Dynasties. The incense was very prosperous: the famous monk in the Tang Dynasty lived in Lumen Temple.
The poem "Beautiful Collection of Xiangyang" by Meng Haoran, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, said that Xiangyang's landscape is better than Suzhou and Hangzhou, which refers to the landscape of Lumen Mountain. Ceng Gong, one of the eight famous poets in the Tang and Song Dynasties, lamented that Lumen Mountain was "a trip to Xiangyang without stepping on Suling stone", sighing that it was beautiful, sighing that it was high-spirited and bright, and sighing that the cultural connotation of Lumen Mountain was rich.
