At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty produced a university scholar named Fu Shan in Shanxi, who was still a warrior who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty, with the iron backbone of a reader, proficient in medicine, and very deep in calligraphy, and was a famous calligrapher in the world, who wrote books and lectures, or a famous thinker. Such a well-known Mr. Fu Shan was a model and role model for readers at that time. He was not an ordinary man, and naturally did not eat fireworks in the world, so he became a monk at the Mengjiagou Longquan Temple in Shouyang County, Jinzhong City, Shanxi Province.
This temple is famous for being a Taoist place, and Fu Shan is known as the Zhuyi Daoist.

Located on a hill, the Longquan Temple is now under renovation and is also being developed into a scenic spot, with the gate at the foot of the mountain pictured below.
After entering the gate, climb up the mountain road for a while, this section of the road can be driven, drive to the top, there is a small parking lot under the temple. Longquan Temple is a large area, Longquan Temple is built according to the mountainous terrain, the temple is getting higher and higher, and the majestic momentum jumps in front of you.
Longquan Temple is now a national key cultural relics protection unit.
Hanging in front of the mountain gate is a plaque with the words "Longquan Temple" written on it, which was written by Mr. Fu Shan.
There are two new statues inside the mountain gate, the left green dragon and the right white tiger, which are well shaped and worth seeing.
Most of the buildings in the temple were built in the Qing Dynasty, and it is said that the main hall is from the Ming Dynasty. From the perspective of wood materials, there is no atmosphere of the JinYuan period, one of the important reasons is that in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the local large wood has been very little, the big trees have been cut down almost, there is no way, had to choose small materials, from the pillars of the building, the beams can be seen that the pillars are very thin.
But a lot of details have been added, especially in the bucket arch and other decorations, to make up for the disadvantage of the material is small, there is no roughness, and the beauty of the small and exquisite is increased.
The building is built on a mountain, and the layers are raised.
These buildings are built on a hill, and the interior is a cave dwelling, which is composed of numerous cave dwellings.
The topmost group of buildings is called the Jingyue Pavilion, which is dedicated to the Jade Emperor.
The roof of the temple is not decorated with glass components, but ordinary components are used, but in the details, a lot of effort has been made.
There are many plaques in the temple, most of which were carved during the restoration of the Republic of China at the end of the Qing Dynasty.
Where the spring water of Longquan Temple is, many people have overlooked, it is in an inconspicuous small hole. In the past, there was a spring here, but now due to changes in the environment, the spring water is no longer there.
There is also a small incense pavilion carved in stone next to it, which is also an old object.
Longquan Temple ascends to the far horizon, and the temple buildings are staggered, all under the eyes,
There is also a pagoda next to it, called Lingjing Pagoda, and it is said that the plaque on the tower was inscribed by Mr. Fu Shan.
Under the Longquan Temple, there is also a deserted temple, an antique building built for these years, but unfortunately it is abandoned, there is no monk, no one to maintain, the wind and rain, and abandoned.
