    "description_en": "Legend has it that when Koxinga (Zheng Chenggong) was leading troops past this pool, a dragon-like water monster was stirring up waves and harming many people. He threw the sword from his belt at the monster, and the water became calm. Because he had subdued the monster by throwing his sword, the pool was named Jiantan, 'Sword Pool'. On the temple's age, the Taiwan Prefecture Gazetteer records 'a Guanyin temple at Jiantan in Bazhilan'. The Tamsui Subprefecture Gazetteer records that Jiantan Temple was built in 1773 (the 38th year of the Qianlong reign) with donations from Wu Tinggao and others. According to a stele at the temple, the monk Ronghua, passing this way, found a snake blocking his path. He divined, received a very auspicious result, and founded a temple here. Later Baiyi Dashi (the White-Robed Bodhisattva) appeared in a dream, saying that eight boats would pass from Shanghai via Keelung and that funds could be raised from them. This came true, and the temple was completed. In the late Japanese colonial period it was forced to move to its present site in Dazhi. In front of the temple stands an archway with a green-tiled roof, inscribed with the four characters 'Jiantan Gusi' (Jiantan Ancient Temple). Old columns and stone steles from the former temple are preserved in the grounds, and the many marks on the columns record its history.",

    "description_ja": "劍潭には伝説があります。鄭成功が兵を率いてこの淵のそばを通ったとき、淵には竜のような水の怪物がいて、波を起こして多くの人を害していました。鄭成功が腰に下げていた剣を怪物に向かって投げると、それ以来、水面は静かになりました。鄭成功が剣を投げて妖怪を鎮めたことから、この淵は「劍潭」と名付けられました。剣潭古寺の年代については、『台灣府誌』に「觀音寺，在八芝蘭劍潭」（観音寺は八芝蘭の劍潭にある）と記されています。『淡水廳誌』によると、劍潭寺は1773年（乾隆38年）に吳廷誥らの寄付で建てられました。寺の碑文によると、僧の榮華和尚がこの地を通りかかったとき、1匹のヘビが道をふさいでいました。占うと大吉と出たため、ここに寺を建てました。その後、白衣大士（白衣の観音）が夢に現れ、8隻の船が上海から基隆を経て通るので、そこから資金を集められると告げました。そのとおりになり、劍潭寺が完成しました。日本統治時代の後期に、大直の現在地へ移転させられました。寺の前には青緑色の瓦屋根の牌楼があり、「劍潭古寺」の4文字が書かれています。境内には旧寺の柱と石碑が残されており、柱に残る多くの痕跡がその歴史を伝えています。",
