The mountains are beautiful, the cypresses are green, the clear springs flow sideways, and the scenery is picturesque; Towering pagodas, towering halls, towering stone tablets, elegant and simple, with Jiangnan garden style.

Fengxue Temple was once as famous as Baima Temple, Shaolin Temple and Suoguo Temple, and was called the four famous temples in the Central Plains. In front of the temple is the graveyard of Liu Xiyi, a poet in the early Tang Dynasty. On one side of the temple, there is a secluded study of Song Ruwu.

The Buddhist heritage of Fengxue Temple started from the rooftop and ended in Linwa. During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, the true Zen master, the seventh ancestor of Tiantai, practiced meditation here. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, the third ancestor, Nanyuanhui, the fourth ancestor's Fengxue, Yanuma and the fifth ancestor's Shoushan province of Lin Ji Sect of Zen Buddhism were all in Ruzhou Buddhism. According to historical records, from the south courtyard down, the story of the Buddha is true, and the lights are continuous. Those who record the past history are inexhaustible, but they are all in the same strain, shoulder to shoulder, like the sea as the wind, and unique at one time. The meeting of Yunlong tiger in the solid-French transport is also embarrassing.

Snow mountain pass, two mountains and roads, thousands of trees and green cages, flowing water. Three miles to the north is the ancient temple, which is really poetic. The ancient temple is hidden in the mountains, and my road twists and turns through a sheltered valley. The temple is surrounded by mountains, with Zixiao Peak in the north and nine peaks such as Ziyun Peak, Shamao Peak, Luxiang Peak and Pomegranate Peak on the side.

There is a sacred bridge in front of the temple. Legend has it that it was the place where Emperor Qianlong paid homage to the imperial edict, hence the name "Holy Bridge". The bluestone railings on the bridge are beautifully carved. In the north of the bridge is Guanyin Pavilion, which is a double-eaved mountain-resting style with cornices and horns. Pavilion is commonly known as "Shuifu". Because there is a kind spring in front of the pavilion, clear water gushes. Behind the pavilion are springs such as Longan, Gentleman, Wenqing and Yingke, which converge under the bridge. Spring water surrounds the "Lianting" for a week, and Guanyin Pavilion is just like the Dragon Palace in the water, hence its name.

The Heavenly King Hall, the Buddha Hall and the Ursa Major Hall are built on the mountain, with high and low order, which is quite different from the White Horse Temple and Shaolin Temple. The layout of Sangong, Liuzu Hall, Wei Tuo Hall and Shentang is like a chessboard. There is a bell tower in the southwest corner, a Tibetan Scripture Building in the northwest corner, and the Seven Ancestors Tower stands on the left side of the temple center in front of the amphibious temple. It is handsome and tall, giving people a confusing taste of "five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion, looking up at a scene, and another day in a blink of an eye". China Buddha Hall is the best-preserved hall building in the Jin Dynasty in Henan Province. Three rooms wide and three rooms deep, resting on the top of the mountain, with regular pattern, rigorous structure, carved beams and painted buildings, and appropriate proportion. The stone carvings, woodcuts, Buddha statues and bodhisattvas in the temple are both in form and spirit, vigorous and unique.

At an altitude of 305 meters, overlooking the temporary pavilion, the pavilion, hall and tower in the temple have a panoramic view; Looking north, the purple peak at 9 Li of Yuhuang Mountain is connected with Jiu Feng such as Ziyun Peak, Xianglu Peak, Shamao Peak and Pomegranate shun feng, just like nine long dragons, hence the name Jiulongkou. Looking down, the mountains arch like lotus, and the temple is right in the middle of the lotus terrace.
