Bishan Temple
The Bishan Temple or Guangji Maopeng (Chinese: 碧山寺; pinyin: Bìshān Sì or simplified Chinese: 广济茅蓬; traditional Chinese: 廣濟茅蓬; pinyin: Guǎngjì Máopéng) is a Buddhist temple located in Taihuai Town of Wutai County, Xinzhou, Shanxi, China.
In the Qingliangshan Annals, a poem described Bishan Temple as "落日碧山寺，萧然古涧边，白云生翠崦，明月下寒泉。".
Baiyun Temple was first established in the reign of Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei (467-499) and initially called "Beishan Temple" (北山寺).
In the period of Emperor Yingzong of Ming (1435-1449 and 1457-1464) in the Ming dynasty (1368-1644), it was renamed "Puji Temple" (普济寺).
In the reign of the Qianlong Emperor (1711-1799), because the temple is surrounded by mountains, it is also called Bishan Temple. Later in the reign of Emperor Xuantong (1908-1912), it was also named "Guangji Maopeng" (广济茅蓬).
In 1983 it has been designated as a "National Key Buddhist Temples in Han Chinese Area".
On August 26, 2017, master Dayun (达云法师), a student of Chan master Miaojiang (妙江长老) served as abbot of Biyun Temple.
Under the paifang is a horizontal inscribed board with the Chinese characters "清凉震萃". A wooden plaque with a couplet is hung on the two side pillars. It says "敷演清凉，四时瑞雪常飘，幻出银装世界。恢宏极乐，六月莲花始放，翻成金色乾坤。".
