It is said that the roof of Chao-Feng Temple atop Dagang Mountain in Kaohsiung was constructed with flying marble slabs. The event occurred during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Dynasty sent Jiang Yun-xun to Taiwan to serve as the magistrate of Gangshan. Jiang was impressed by the beautiful scenery of Dagang Mountain and decided to develop the mountain.

His advisor told him, “The mountain roads are difficult to traverse. This is why only a few people climb this mountain. However, the locals are devout Buddhists. If you build a temple on the top of the mountain, they are sure to come and pay their respects. Then, this region will slowly begin to develop.”Jiang Yun-xun thought this suggestion to be a very sound one, so he had a craftsman estimate the required cost in terms of labor, time and money. The craftsman replied, “This mountain isn’t very tall, but the way there is hard to traverse. Therefore, carrying essential building materials such as slabs and bricks to the top of the mountain will take a lot of time.”And so, the plan to build the temple was postponed.

However, two weeks later, rumors started spreading among the locals.“The Goddess of Mercy has appeared on the peak of Dagang Mountain !”Upon hearing this rumor, Jiang Yun-xun got an idea.He began to spread the rumor“On the day after tomorrow, the Goddess of Mercy will appear again on the peak of Dagang Mountain at noon. I hear that bricks and slabs will fly to the mountain peak. Those who come to witness the miracle shall be blessed with longevity. However, those who intend to climb the mountain on that day have to carry two bricks and two slabs to avoid danger.”On the morning of said day, the narrow path leading toward the peak of the mountain was full of people, and by noon, the top of the mountain was crowded with people.

Everyone wondered“Why hasn’t the Goddess of Mercy appeared yet? And where are the flying bricks and slabs?”The magistrate, Jiang, then appeared and said, “The Goddess of Mercy has indeed worked a miracle. Thanks to everyone’s help, the bricks and slabs needed to build the temple have arrived here from all directions.”Everyone realized what happened. Shortly after, the temple was constructed. And Jiang himself named the temple “Chao-Feng Temple”.

　　相傳高雄大岡山上的超峰寺，寺廟屋頂是用「飛瓦」蓋起來的，事情發生在清乾隆年間。清朝派蔣允焄來臺擔任岡山知府，他望著大岡山美麗的景色，決定好好開發這個寶山。
　　師爺告訴他說：「因為山路十分難走，一般人很少上山，不過，當地人非常信佛，要是能在山頂上蓋一間廟，一定會有人開始上山拜佛，自然可以慢慢開發起來。」蔣允焄覺得這個提議很好，便找來工匠估算需要花費的人力、時間及費用。工匠為難的回答：「這座山不算高，可是太崎嶇不平，蓋廟最重要的磚瓦就很難運到山頂，會花很多的時間。」蓋廟的計畫便停擺了。
　　沒想到，半個月後，地方上有傳聞說：「菩薩在大岡山的山頂上顯靈了！」蔣允焄一聽到這個傳言，靈機一動，便開始散布消息說：「後天中午，菩薩會再一次在山頂上顯靈，聽說飛瓦會從四面八方飛來，到山上朝拜的人可以延年益壽，不過，每個上山的人必須帶兩塊磚和兩片瓦片，不然會有生命危險。」到了當天清晨，看到大家把小山路擠得水洩不通。
　　中午時，山頂上擠滿人，大家七嘴八舌討論：「怎麼沒看到菩薩顯靈，也沒看到傳說中的飛瓦？」蔣知府笑著出現，對大家說：「菩薩真的顯靈了，因為大家的幫忙，蓋廟的磚瓦都從四面八方聚集到山頂上。」大家才恍然大悟。不久，寺廟蓋好了，蔣知府便親自題字命名為「超峰寺」。
