It is named after the "hidden place of immortal spirits" and is the most famous millennium ancient temple in the Jiangnan region.

The symbolism of the Eighteen Seeds mainly symbolizes the "Eighteen Realms" (six roots, six dust, six consciousness), while also integrating multiple cultural connotations such as Confucian moral cultivation and traditional family harmony. Each bead also corresponds to specific auspicious meanings, such as peace, wisdom, wealth, etc., and has functions such as praying for blessings, dispelling evil and avoiding disasters, and achieving complete wisdom.

Six roots: eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind (the physiological and psychological basis for perceiving the world). ‌‌
Six dust: color, sound, fragrance, taste, touch, and law (perception objects of the external world). ‌‌
Six senses: eye recognition, ear recognition, etc. (ability to identify the six dust). ‌‌

Vajrayana Bodhi symbolizes unbreakable courage, Phoenix Eye Bodhi represents wisdom, White Jade Bodhi is associated with peace, and each seed corresponds to a cultivation element. ‌‌
The combination of eighteen seeds and the concept of yin-yang balance symbolizes harmony between heaven and earth. ‌‌
From a Confucian perspective, the eighteen seeds embody the concept of "comprehensive development of morality", such as the red agate representing courage, the yellow jade marrow symbolizing wealth, and emphasizing self-cultivation and character cultivation. ‌‌
Perfection and well-being: The number "eighteen" is endowed with a dual meaning of perfection and the blessing of the three stars of happiness, wealth, and longevity in folk customs, symbolizing the prosperity, health, and longevity of the family.
