Fulong Temple Ruins in Longquan Lake

The Fulong Temple ruins are located at the foot of Longquan Mountain, surrounded by lush flowers and leaves, elegant and secluded. Only flagpole stones and ruins of tiles remain. There is a very beautiful local folk story about the origin of Fulong Temple. It is said that in ancient times, Dongyuan suffered from severe drought for many years. The crops were scorched and the grass was withered. Many people starved to death. Many people had to stay away from their hometowns and flee in various directions. The mournful cries of the people alarmed the Dragon Kings all over the world. The Dragon King was moved by compassion and petitioned the Jade Emperor for permission to rain on Dongyuan, but he was flatly rejected by the Jade Emperor. In desperation, the Dragon King could only secretly send some shrimp soldiers and crabs to dig spring holes everywhere in Dongyuan. Overnight, springs flowed everywhere in Dongyuan and merged into one place, forming a lake that was full but not overflowing. This is Longquan Lake. Since then, everything in Dongyuan has recovered, things are prosperous and people are prosperous, and the people who fled have returned to their homes to live and work in peace and contentment. In order to commemorate the kindness of the Dragon King, the people built the Fulong Temple in Longquan Mountain and worshiped it all year round. They named the lake Longquan Lake and the mountain Longquan Mountain.

Tenuous Osmanthus and Red Army Maple stand on both sides from Huanglongkeng to Yangjiawu, with towering ancient trees and a wide variety of species. They are mainly broad-leaved forests, supplemented by coniferous forests such as pine and fir, and bamboo forests. Forming a natural ecological landscape. Among the many rare ancient trees, more than ten osmanthus trees and ancient maple trees are thousands of years old. One of the ancient osmanthus trees is ten thousand years old, with a trunk diameter of more than 1 meter, becoming a living fossil of ancient trees. In the maple forest beside the path of Huanglongkeng Mountain, there are three ancient maples standing side by side, with their trunks standing straight into the sky. In the 1930s, Soviet Red Army soldiers in northeastern Jiangxi often lingered on Longquan Mountain and often trained and rested under this tree. Therefore, local people affectionately called these three ancient maple trees "Red Army Trees."
