Xiaolingfeng Temple, originally named Ma’anshan Longwang Jingtang, was established in the Yuan Dynasty during the Zhizheng era (1341 AD) as a place for local villagers to pray for rain. It was rebuilt in the 4th year of the Kangxi Emperor (1665 AD) and renamed Huilong An. The temple is named Xiaolingfeng Temple because it is located on Xiaolingfeng Mountain.
The main structures of the temple include the Hall of the Heavenly Kings, the Mahavira Hall, the Ge Xian Hall, and the Hall of the Three Saints. In front of the Mahavira Hall, there is a small bridge over the Jiu Gui Pond, which never dries up even in severe droughts. It is said to have been excavated by Ge Hong during his alchemy practice and is not deep, with walls built of coarse tiles.
The Ge Xian Hall, located to the east of the Mahavira Hall, is dedicated to the Taoist Ge Hong. In the second year of the Xianhe era of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (327 AD), Ge Hong came here to practice alchemy. During his seclusion in Lingfeng Mountain, a plague was rampant. Ge Hong collected a variety of herbs, made medicines, and distributed them to the public, saving many lives. Subsequently, people have come to this place to commemorate this great ancestor who dedicated his life to healing the world.
