Lianhua Peak is covered with luxuriant bamboo trees and strewn with bizarre rocks. The caves and cliffs vary in shape, and the spring water gurgles down the ravine, giving off a sound like the music from a string instrument. The peak is so named because it looks like a lotus blossom. Halfway uphill stands the Miaolian Temple in a crack. The temple has a huge rock above and cliffs below. When viewed from a distance, it seems that the temple hangs in mid-air. Inside the temple is a gold-coated statue of Kou Bing. Legend has it that Kou Bing had contacts with the deities in his dream, attained the nature of Buddhism, overcame worldly thoughts, and finally entered sainthood. The temple is a sacred place for Buddhist worshippers.
The kiln at Yulinting was one of the eight major kilns in ancient China, belonging to the Jian kilns series. It is known for the black-glazed porcelain it manufactured. Of which the tea set including the black-glazed zhan(bowl) was well-received by noted figures and persons in the upper social circles. It was fashionable to make the Wuyi rock tea in bowls from the Jian kilns. |
