Ruins of Kongtong Temple

Ruins of Kongtong Temple

The ruins of Kongtong Temple are a cultural tourism attraction.

Kongtong Temple is located in the northeastern part of the park. Originally named Kongtong Jingshe, it was built during the Jin Dynasty. The eminent Buddhist master Master Kongtong once resided here, hence the temple is also known as Kongtong Temple.

It is the earliest Buddhist temple built after Buddhism was introduced to southern Jiangxi, with a temple building area of over 500 square meters. Outside the temple gate lies a pond: the water is as clear as a mirror, called the "Treasure Mirror Pond." The temple is backed by Yuping Peak of the northern mountain, with undulating hills; it faces Baogai Peak of the southern mountain, majestic and grand. In front of the temple, the Treasure Mirror Pond is crystal clear. Surrounded by green sand hills, the temple blends harmoniously with its surroundings, embodying the unity of heaven and humanity. It has been praised by feng shui masters as an outstanding "feng shui masterpiece in the form of a temple." During the Song Dynasty, Bao Zheng once studied here. After renovations in the seventh year of the Chongzhen era of the Ming Dynasty, Prefect Liu Huan inscribed the plaque "Kongshan Jingshe." "Outside the temple gate, there were over a hundred acres of fertile fields, which have belonged to the temple since ancient times, ensuring abundant resources and flourishing incense offerings." In the late 1950s, the temple was destroyed in a fire during the Great Leap Forward's steel-smelting campaign. Currently, the ruins of the temple remain, with the stupa and the Treasure Mirror Pond still intact.
