Hanshan Temple was famous of its bell.  Once a poet called Zhangji who lost his examination for government official stopped at the river near Hanshan temple. His stayed in a boat which dropped on this river. He was sad and can't sleep. When in midnight, the bell "ding, ding,ding" reached to his ears,he felt more sad. So that he wrote a poem there called <枫桥夜泊>, it is very well-know to people. And the favor in the poem is so beautiful.

【唐 Tang Dynasty】 张继

táng - zhāng jì



yuè luò wū tí shuāng mǎn tiān,

月    落    乌    啼    霜    满    天,



jiāng fēng yú huǒ duì chóu mián。

江    枫    渔    火    对    愁    眠。



gū sū chéng wài hán shān sì,

姑    苏    城    外    寒    山    寺,



yè bàn zhōng shēng dào kè chuán。

夜    半    钟    声    到    客    船。
