The Great Wall of Chu was built in the 7th century BC. According to historical documents, it starts from Zhushan in Hubei Province in the west, crosses the Han River through Dengzhou, passes through Xichuan, Neixiang, Zhenping in the north, and calls four counties in the south, passes through Lushan and Yexian in the east, and crosses the Shahe River in the south to reach Miyang. The total length is almost 500 kilometers.
The Great Wall of Chu enters the Zhoujiazhai (Jindouguan) of Banshanping in the Nanzhao Domain, and then goes north to Qiaoduan Bison Ridge.

Danxia Temple is five kilometers north of Liushan Town, founded by the Tang monk Natural Zen Master in the Muzong period, more than 1,200 years ago.
During the Chongning period of the Northern Song Dynasty, it was expanded and rebuilt under the leadership of the government. After the reconstruction, the Danxia Temple is large-scale, and the incense is prosperous for a while, and the name moves the Central Plains. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the situation was turbulent, and in the chaos of soldiers and bandits, a fire was almost burned down. In the eleventh year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, Zen master Tan Kuan raised funds to rebuild. Since then, the orthodox and Jiajing emperors have expanded and repaired for more than 100 years, and their appearance has been completely new again. The north and south camp halls, the east and west halls, the layout is grand and rigorous, and the Buddha treasures are solemn.
The reincarnation of history is always strikingly similar, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the change of dynasties, another beacon fire, Danxia Temple once again suffered a catastrophe.
In addition to the eight brick towers of the Yuan Dynasty, most of the temples in today's Danxia Temple were built by the Qing Dynasty. The whole temple covers an area of more than 50 acres, with more than 140 halls and houses. The buildings on the central axis are the mountain gate, the Garan hall, the Daxiong treasure hall, the Bilu hall, the scripture building, the abbot's room, and the Houzu Hall. The layout is staggered.
Danxia Temple has risen and fallen several times, and has experienced vicissitudes. The red walls and green tiles, the voice of the Buddha is loud, isn't this a sigh of history?Vanity and strife, when will humanity be able to surpass itself?
