Lingshan Temple (simplified Chinese: 灵山寺; traditional Chinese: 靈山寺; pinyin: Língshān Sì) is a Buddhist temple located in Lishui, Zhejiang, China.
The original temple dates back to 320 during the Eastern Jin dynasty (266–420). But it was demolished in a fire in 574 during the Northern Zhou dynasty (557–581).[1]
In 633, in the reign of Emperor Taizong of Tang in the Tang dynasty (618–907), local government reconstructed a temple on the original site named "Lingjiu Temple" (灵鹫寺).[1]
In 961, at the dawn of Song dynasty (960–1279), monk Zhusheng (祝生) renovated the temple and erected the Hall of Guanyin.[1]
