Shuxiang Temple was built in the early years of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was rebuilt many times in the Ming Dynasty, and it was called the Wutai Mountain "Five Zen Place" together with Xiantong Temple, Tayuan Temple, Bodhisattva, and Luohou Temple. Facing the Fanxian Mountain, it is named after the Manjushri Bodhisattva in the temple. The iconic building of Shuxiang Temple is the Manjusri Pavilion, and the existing temple was built by Zen Master Tielinguo in the Ming Dynasty. When visiting Shuxiang Temple, don't forget to visit the "Prajna Spring" at the gate. "Prajna Spring" means "the spring of wisdom" in Sanskrit. It is said that drinking the spring water here can help grow wisdom and get rid of folly. When the emperors of the Qing Dynasty came to Wutai Mountain to worship the Buddha on the mountain, they would also drink the spring water.
