The rise of Buddhism
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming government mined cinnabar and gold mines in the Fanjingshan area, and sent officials to supervise them. Because of the magical scenery of Fanjing Mountain, Buddhism has flourished and become the "Brahma Pure Land" that monks yearn for, so it is officially named "Fanjing Mountain", and the folk are called "Great Buddha Mountain". At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the reconstruction of Xiyan Temple in Fanjing Mountain, temples such as Tianma Temple were also built. In the eleventh year of Ming Yongle (1413), Sinan Toast and Sizhou Toast fought a war over cinnabar, and the Ming government changed the land and returned to the stream, and established the four provinces of Sinan, Tongren, Songtao, and Shiquan in the area around fanjing mountain. In the same year, Guizhou Province was officially established.
Two hundred years later, during the Ming Dynasty, Fanjing Mountain was known as a "famous mountain of ancient monuments" because of the "ancient Buddhist dojo". Guo Zizhang, the governor of Guizhou (present-day Jiangxi Province), wrote the Qianji (1608) in Fan Jingshan Yun: "Guizhou Mountain is the first with Fan JingShan as the first, comparable to the rooftop. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, after the Zhejiang poet Xie Guoji failed to resist the Qing Dynasty, he lived in seclusion in Fanjing Mountain, and called himself "Tiantai Yiren".
