There is a Zhengxu Zen Temple in Lion Mountain , known as the "No. 1 Mountain in Southwest ", Yunnan Province. The three couplets in the temple are regarded as historical records and have always been praised.
The three couplets in the Main Hall of Zhengxu Zen Temple and the Huidi Temple describe the history of the three emperors after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, "the monks are the emperors and the emperors are the monks", which aroused tourists' reverence.
A couplet of the Great Hall is:
Uncle misunderstood Jing Longjun, a heart is originally Buddha

suddenly lands, and the king and ministers run out in a hurry, totaling two More than ten people, with their surnames and names, half from half escapes, but they played a few chess pieces, heard the clear sound of the Buddhist chants, and said that it was a dragon and a tiger
