Southern Shaolin Monastery 南少林寺

China - Putian (Southern Shaolin Monastery)

中国 - 莆田(南少林寺)




Southern Shaolin Monastery is located in the western end of town Licheng, Putian, Nine Lotus Mountain Village, about 17km away from the city.

Southern Shaolin Monastery was formerly named "Linquan Temple", built in Southern Yongding years (557AD).

During the Tang dynasty in the reign of Emperor Tang Taizong, warrior monks from Henan Shaolin were deployed from the Shaolin Monastery to combat piracy.

Emperor Tang Taizong passed a special imperial order to Lin Tanzong, Abbot of Northern Shaolin Monastery, to build a Shaolin Monastery in the South which was known as the Southern Shaolin Monastery.

During the early Qing dynasty, the Southern Shaolin Monastery was completely razed due to anti-Qing.



南少林寺位于莆田荔城区西天尾镇九莲山林山村,距市区约17公里。

南少林寺前身名“林泉寺”,建于南朝永定年间(公元557年)。

唐初因十三棍僧救唐主有功,太宗皇帝特敕北少林昙宗方丈,在南方建少林寺,称为南少林寺。

至清初,因反清复明被夷为平地。


Until 1986, archaeologists excavated the site and found the ruins of Southern Shaolin Monastery, hence unveiling to the world.

In 1989, under government strong support, began to rebuild the monastery.



直至1986年,考古学家挖掘发现南少林寺遗址,这才让其呈现在世人面前。

1989年,在政府的大力扶持下开始重建。
