【正文】 nese bell which Yamada Kanzang, a friendly Japanese personage, cast and sent to Suzhou’s Hanshan Temple in 1905, symbolizing the cultural exchange between China and Japan in history.
Near the bell ate two stelae, or stone tablets, set in the white walls, one displays the monk Hanshan and the other portrays both Hanshan and Shide who are vivid and full of fun, clapping and laughing like real persons.
Located behind the Mahavira Hall is the Sutrastoring Building, at the side of which lies the hexagonal Bell Tower. On its second floor hangs an enormous iron bell cast in 1906, . in the 32nd year of the reign of Emperor Guanxu. This is a
very important bell because a flourishing gathering can be seen annually on the eve of New Year’s Day when tourists from all over the world flock inside and outside the temple and await the ing of the zero hour of the New Year by listening to the sound of this Qing Dynasty Bell struck 108 times by the abbot standing on the second floor of the Bell Tower.
Since December 31st, 1979 there have been 27 such events known as the Suzhou Hanshan Temple’s New Year listeningto theSoundofBell Activity. Now the temple looks forward to the 37th such an activity which will fall on December 31st, 2020.
Another attraction of the temple is the poem stelae bearing the inscription of the abovementioned Zhang Ji’s poem in the Tang, which goes:
Moonfall. Crow cry in a sky full of frost.
Maple bridge. Lamps of fishermen doze off in the groom.
Outside Old Soochow City lies Hanshan Temple.
At midnight, the sound of its bell reaches my boat.
Up to now there are totally ten noted personages who wrote this poem by using the Chinese writing brush and had their own handwriting engraved on ten stelae respectively.
Tourists do appreciate these stelae showing different calligraphy. Erected round the pagoda are seven of the ten steles. They are written by seven people who are Wang Gui, a highranking official in the Northern Song Dynasty (9601127)。 Professor Li Dazhao at Peking University, one of the founders of the Communist Party of the China。 Chen Yun, vicechairman of the Central Committee of the CPC。 and Luo Zhewen, a veteran expert in the traditional Chinese architecture and in charge of the application for the World Heritage sites in China.
As to other three poem steles, two are displayed in the Stela Gallery. They were respectively written by Yu Yue(18211907), a renowned scholar in the late Qing Dynasty who lived in the Quyuan Garden in Suzhou, and Liu Haisu, afamous painter in the late twentieth century. Well, another stele, or the tenth one, is housed in a pavilion and inscribed by the former abbot of the temple, the reverend monk Xing Kong.
