Lingshan Temple is the third generation disciple of Master Huineng. Dadian Zen Master was founded in the seventh year of Tang Zhenyuan (79 1), and the local rich invited Dr. Hong Gui (a famous doctor in Dading) to donate money for education. Bishi Temple in the Great Hall is the jiusan of the Western Heaven, so it was named "Lingshan". In the fourth year of Tang Changqing (824), the tomb tower was built on the left side of the temple. According to Lin Ming Da Chun's Records of Chaoyang County, Qin Long, "At the end of the Tang Dynasty, there were people who repaired the bones, but the bottom of the tongue still existed and re-stained, so it was called tongue burial. In the Song Dynasty to Daozhong (995-997), villagers found it again, but the ancient mirror was round. It's just that the stacked stones are still hidden as before ...

In the sixth year of Tang Zhenyuan, a 50-year-old monk traveled around the world and came here to set up a temple to practice. Legend has it that at that time, the grass on the mountain was dry, and it was best to look around, so the cool and sweet spring water gurgled out of the cracks in the stone and continued for thousands of years. Later generations called this spring "Zhuoxi Spring". "East Rock Zhuoxi" is one of the eight scenic spots in Chaoyang. Since the Tang Dynasty monks led dozens of disciples from Xuan Ying and Gao Zhi to build temples here, Dongyan Buddhism has been very popular.
