The diary of Shigu Temple in Yuanping 100 words.

Shigu Temple, located about 8 kilometers east of Yuanping City, Shanxi Province, was founded in the Yuan Dynasty and was renovated many times during the reign of Qing Qianlong and Tongzhi. According to legend, during the Yuan Dynasty, his wife Yan's family lived in Jiexiu County. Being strict and charitable, he helped the poor and needy, and built a drugstore at the roadside under Lianhua Mountain to worship Mianshan Jietui to protect the gods. One night, I suddenly heard people talking about Ma Si. I heard the question through the window and replied, "I am stationed in the army." The next day, I saw horseshoe prints on the stones in the hospital, and then I changed the hospital into Jie Shen Palace, the predecessor of Shigu Temple. There is a plaque inscribed by the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty on the imperial book "Shigu Hall". Zhang Xianzhi's great-grandson respected and built this temple. During Tomb-Sweeping Day, people from far and near flocked to watch the drama and pray.

There is a jujube tree growing between the bell and drum towers of Shigu Temple, surrounded by stone platforms, but this jujube tree has grown to about ten meters high, and an adult can't hold it on his chest. Its bark is rough and white, its branches are vigorous and flourishing. In autumn, oval leaves are lush, dark red jujube trees are covered with branches like pocket lanterns, and green leaves and red fruits are very beautiful.

Lotus foothills are adjacent to Shigu Temple, with overlapping peaks, steep mountains, strange peaks and rocks, and towering cliffs. The mountain peak is like an arrow, soaring into the sky. At the foot of the mountain northwest of Tianya Mountain, there is a strange peak, which looks like a lotus flower and is called Lotus Mountain. There is a strange stone in the southeast of Lianhua Mountain, which is said to rumble when there is wind, so it is called Shigu Temple.
