Gangshan, formerly known as "Ganger Mountain", is located in the northwest of Guandao Town, Qixia City, at the junction of Laiyang, Zhaoyuan and Qixia. The name "Gangshan" was conferred by Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, in the 21st year of Zhenguan (647 AD), and a temple was built on the mountain, named "Gangshan Temple". Gangshan Temple has gone through the Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties for more than 800 years, and was most prosperous in the late Song and early Yuan dynasties. The legends about Gangshan have also increased with the rise and fall of the temple, and have been passed down by word of mouth by local people and have been passed down to this day. Among them, the most widely circulated and legendary legends of Gangshan are the two legends of "King Tang built a tomb to seal Gangshan when he conquered the east" and "It's just a monk on Gangshan". "The King of Tang's Eastern Expedition, Building a Tomb and Sealing Gangshan" tells the story of: In the third year of Wude (620 AD) of Emperor Gaozu of Tang, Li Shimin led a large army out of Tongguan and marched into the Shandong Peninsula. He stationed in the ancient city at the foot of the west side of Gangshan Mountain and set up a sentry on Gangshan Mountain. However, in the battle for Gangshan Mountain, Li Shimin lost three of his favorite generals because of the violation of the place name (place names were very taboo in ancient wars). Chai Shao (Li Shimin's brother-in-law) died in Ranchailing. The main general Tieyu mistakenly entered the Death Valley. When he heard that the mountain was called Ganger Mountain, he knew that his fate had ended and was shot to death on Gangshan Mountain by random arrows. The advance officer reconnaissance general Li Yuping was blocked by the foreign army at the exit and had no way to retreat. He died in Penkou Valley. Li Shimin reluctantly ordered the soldiers' bodies to be buried on the spot, and the Eastern Expedition Army held a grand funeral. Each soldier sprinkled a handful of soil on the remains to show his remembrance and to confuse the enemy. Overnight, thousands of large earthen tombs were built in front of Gangshan Mountain, from the Ma Ling Tomb and Tao Village in Zangjiazhuang Town, Qixia in the east to Daotou in Zhaoyuan in the west, stretching for more than 100 miles from east to west. There were 72 famous earthen tombs alone. Later, on the way to Penglai to chase the deserters, a large tomb every ten miles and a small tomb every five miles were built as a symbol of the journey. After the war, at the suggestion of the famous minister Wei Zheng, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty named the mountain "Gangshan" and ordered the construction of a temple here (between the two highest peaks of Dadingzi and Wushending) to enshrine the souls who died for the country, and named it Gangshan Temple. Construction of Gangshan Temple started in the 21st year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (647 AD) and was completed in the first year of Xianqing (656 AD). During its heyday, there were as many as 800 monks in the temple, with a main hall, a scripture storage building, etc. It was once the Buddhist center in the area east of Weifang on the Jiaodong Peninsula. The monks reclaimed more than 3,000 mu of land on the east and west sides of the garden in front of the mountain. The temple flourished and had a high reputation. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the temple began to decline. The temple was in a dilapidated state, the farmland was abandoned and no one managed it. The monks often interacted with some dubious people and gradually developed the bad habit of bullying men and women. However, because Gangshan was conferred by the emperor, the local officials could not control it even if they wanted to. During the Tianqi period of the Ming Dynasty, a candidate from Donghai who was going to Beijing for an imperial examination encountered this group of evil monks when passing by the official road. His belongings were swept away and he was beaten. He was unable to go to Beijing for the examination. The next year, when the candidate went to Beijing for the palace examination, the chief examiner found out that he had missed the exam. After asking, he learned everything. The Ministry of Justice was very annoyed when he learned about it. Because it involved the temple conferred by the emperor of the previous dynasty, he did not dare to neglect it and quickly reported the matter to the emperor. The emperor considered that the case was not big or small, but it did not need to be asked by the court, let alone let the emperor deal with it personally, so the local county magistrate decided it himself. So he said casually: "Let it go!" Unexpectedly, the Ministry of Justice heard it as "rake it". So the monks who did evil in Gangshan Temple were sentenced to death by the iron-toothed rake of the plowing land. From then on, the folk story of "Gangshan Rake Monk" was left. In the local area, whenever people want to give up something, they will wave their hands and say: "Let the monk on Gangshan stop!" There are many legends about Gangshan, which are widely circulated, with the theme of promoting righteousness, which has left a strong evidence for the study of history and culture.
