Legend

A legendary and mysterious saying is that the Yellow Emperor had two sons Taiyu (Шаблон:Zh) and Zhongyang (Шаблон:Zh), both of whom lived in seclusion at the foot of Feilai Gorge (Шаблон:Zh), beside the Bei River. One night, under the moonlight, they drinking and composing, and enjoying the beautiful scenery. However, they felt regretful that the scenery are natural landscape and the landscape types are a little simple. At once, they rode the cloud and mist to Yanzuo Temple (Шаблон:Zh), in Shuzhou (now Anqing), Anhui. They invited abbot Zhenjun to promote Buddhism. The Chan master nodded. So Taiyu and Zhongyang used their spells to move the temple to Feilai Gorge.

Feilai Temple was first built in the 1st year of Period Putong (520) in the Liang dynasty (502–587) by Chan master Zhenjun (Шаблон:Zh) and Ling'ai (Шаблон:Zh). Emperor Wu (464–549) inscribed and honored the name “Zhide Temple” (Шаблон:Zh). When Bodhidharma arrived in China, Emperor Wu, a devout Buddhist believer, immediately sent envoys to receive Bodhidharma to the capital Jiankang (now Nanjing) after he heard of his coming, Bodhidharma preached dharma at the temple when he moved north via here.[2]

During the Sui dynasty (581–618), Sengcan, the Third Chinese Patriarch of Chan, once lived in here.[2]

In 677, in the 2nd year of the age of Yifeng (676–679) of Emperor Gaozong, when Huineng (638–713), the Sixth and Last Patriarch of Chan, went from Guangzhou to Caoxi Baolin Temple (Шаблон:Zh) via Qingyuan, he preached Chan Buddhism in the temple. During the reign of Emperor Ruizong (662–716), its name was changed into "Feilai Chanju Temple" (Шаблон:Zh), also known as "Guangqing Temple" (Шаблон:Zh) and "Xiashan Temple" (Шаблон:Zh).[2]
