Shaolin Temple is located in the northwest of Dengfeng County 13km at the foot of Wuru Peak at the northern foot of Shaoshi Mountain. If you take a bus from Zhengzhou, Kaifeng and Luoyang, you can go straight to the temple. Shaolin Temple was founded in the 20th year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty (496), so it was built in the dense jungle at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain, hence the name Shaolin. As said in "Shuo Shu Song": Shaolin is a forest with few rooms. Shaolin Temple is the birthplace of Zen Buddhism in China, so it is also called Shaolin Temple and Great Shaolin Temple. According to documents, in the 19th year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty (495), an Indian monk, Barto, trudged from the Western Regions to Luoyang. He lived in seclusion and often went to Songshan, which was respected by Emperor Xiaowen. He was called to Shaoshi Mountain to build Shaolin Temple and live there. During the period from Zheng Guang to Xiaochang in the Northern Wei Dynasty, another Indian monk, Dharma, came to the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, China to meditate. He widely gathered his disciples and taught Zen, which made the influence of Shaolin Temple expand day by day. It is said that Dharma spent nine years halfway up the mountain, so he took pictures in the stone.

The original buildings in Shaolin Temple are numerous and widely distributed.

It was built in the 13th year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty (1735), and a black painted square plaque of Shaolin Temple was hung, which was the imperial book of Emperor Kangxi in Qing Dynasty. According to the records of Shaolin Temple, this monument was originally hung above the main entrance of Dawang Temple. After the Dawang Temple was burned, it was moved here and entered the entrance of Shaolin Temple. This is a wide rain channel with a gentle slope. There are many important inscriptions on both sides, including the Monument to the Imperial Poetry of the Empress of the Tang Dynasty written by Wu Zetian and the Monument to the Way of the Zen Master in Xi 'an written by the Japanese monk Yuan Shao. The inscription reflects the profound friendship between Yuan Shao and Zen Master Xi and ancient China and Japan.

The age of General Cedar has always been a mysterious topic. The tree has a history of more than 2,000 years since it was self-proclaimed, and Mr. Zhao Puchu also left a hymn for 3000-year-old Song Yang and Bai Zhou. Appraised by forestry experts, Jiangjun cypress is a primitive cypress with a tree age of 4,500 years, which is the oldest and largest existing cypress in China.

Careful tourists will find a strange phenomenon. General cypress is much bigger than general cypress. Why the second one? Here is a preconceived legend, a touching legend, which has attracted many literati to splash ink and praise, leaving people with inspiration.

The majestic general cypress adds a sense of historical vicissitudes and strong appeal to Songyang Academy.

College building

Songyang Academy basically maintained the architectural layout of the Qing Dynasty, with a length of 128 meters from north to south and a width of 78 meters from east to west, covering an area of 9,984 square meters. The central axis building is divided into five courtyards, from south to north, which are the main entrance, the first hall, the lecture hall, the Taoist temple and the library building in turn. The houses on both sides of the central axis are connected. * * Ancient buildings 106, mostly hard-mountain rolling children's hemp-tube tile houses, are simple and elegant, which are quite different from many temple buildings with red walls and green tiles and carved beams and painted buildings in the Central Plains.
