Jinshan Temple, which was founded in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is the birthplace of China's land and water Dharma Association, where Buddhist scriptures are recited, fasting is set up, confession is made to the Buddha, and death is recommended.

Jinshan was originally an island in the Yangtze River. Due to the winding of the great river, it was connected with the land around the end of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1903). There are many scenic spots in Jinshan, full of historical legends and fairy tales. The ancients praised it as "the most beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River".

Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty personally wrote "Jiangtian Temple", but since the Tang Dynasty, people have called it Jinshan Temple, which is the birthplace of China Buddhist Land and Water Dharma Association to recite scriptures, set up fasting, worship Buddha and recommend death.

The gate of Jinshan Temple faces west and is built on the mountain.

Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province is one of the four famous Zen temples in China. Jinshan Pagoda is located in Jinshan Temple in Jinshan Scenic Area in the western suburbs of Zhenjiang. According to the records of Jinshan Temple, this pagoda was built 1400 years ago during the Qi and Liang Dynasties.

The tower is 30 meters high. There were two towers in the Tang and Song Dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, they were called "Praise Ci Pagoda" and "Praise Life Pagoda". Later, the two towers were destroyed by fire. In the Ming Dynasty, a tower was rebuilt and named "Baoci Shouta". According to ancient Buddhist customs, in general, when a temple is built, towers are built at the same time, especially the famous temples. Wherever there are temples, there must be towers.

During the Xianfeng period of Qing Dynasty, this tower was destroyed by war. Now this tower was rebuilt by Yin Ru, the abbot of Jinshan Temple in the 20th year of Guangxu. He appealed to the Beijing court and was ordered to raise money. At that time, the hermit traveled north and south, got the support of Liu Kunyi, governor of Liangjiang, and raised 29,600 taels of silver. In the 26th year of Guangxu (A.D. 1900), after more than five years' reconstruction, it is now the Cishou Tower.

Jinshan is only 44 meters high. When I came to the front of the mountain, I felt lofty and lonely, and suddenly I felt lofty and solemn, because of the Cishou Tower at the peak of Jinshan. The combination of the temple tower and Jinshan creates an optical illusion, and the height of the tower is also included in the height of the mountain.

There are many temples on the mountain, and the towers are proud. From a distance, the mountain is a temple, and the temple is a mountain, which forms the support point of "Jinshan Temple wrapped in mountains" and fully embodies the outstanding architectural art in ancient times. Jiangtian Temple is Jinshan Temple. At first, Jinshan Temple was built in East Jin Mingdi in the first half of the 4th century. It is called Zexin Temple. It has been destroyed seven times in history, but its reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and monks have replaced it.
