寒山、拾得是唐代富有传奇色彩的人物。在相传唐贞观年间（公元627——649年）台州刺史闾邱胤撰《寒山子诗集传》，以及宋僧赞宁著《宋高僧传》中，记述了他们的灵异事迹。
关于寒山子，世人既不知其来历，也不知其姓氏，见过他的人都说是个“疯狂之士”。他隐居在天台唐兴县西七十里号为“寒岩”的地方，经常往来国清寺。平时以桦皮为冠，布裘破敝，木屐履地，形容枯悴，或长歌徐行，或叫噪凌人，或望空独笑，或沉思玄想。但出言吐语，都颇具哲理，口中常唱咏道：“咄哉，咄哉！三界轮回。”他与国清寺的拾得十分友善。这拾得本是弃儿。有一次，国清寺丰干禅师外出，在道边听见小孩啼哭，循声寻找，见一数岁孩儿，无家可归，就带回寺院，于是众僧便随口称他为“拾得”。起初，拾得在寺内掌管食堂香灯。有一天，竟登上佛座，与塑像对盘而食。僧徒急忙将其赶下座来，随即罢免了他的堂任，叫他厨下干活。拾得时常把寺里的残食盛放在粗竹筒里，让寒山带回充饥。两人唱诗吟偈，放浪形迹，怡然自得。话说闾邱胤即将赴任，忽然头痛难忍，医药无效。恰逢丰干禅师前来拜谒，察见病情，声称不必忧虑，吮水一喷，病人顿觉神清气爽，头疾霍然而愈。闾邱胤心里甚觉奇异但向丰干禅师询问台州有何名贤。丰干曰：“见之不识，识之不见。若欲见之，不得取相，乃可见之。”并告之国清寺寒山、拾得实是文殊、普贤菩萨的化身。闾邱胤到任三日后就去国清寺，在厨房见到“状如贫子”的寒山、拾得，躬身礼拜。两人连声吆喝，呵呵大笑，说道：“丰干饶舌！饶舌！弥陀不识，礼我何为？”携手出寺，归寒岩而去。闾邱胤又到寒岩谒问，并送衣裳药物。两人缩身遁入岩石穴缝中，说道：“报汝诸人，各各努力。”岩缝泯然而合，从此杳无踪迹。闾邱胤命僧人道翘搜寻遗物，在林木岩石及村墅屋间抄得诗歌三百馀首，编成《寒山子诗集》，流传于世。
关于寒山子的活动年代与诗集的形成，唐代天台道士杜光庭则有不同的说法。他在《仙传拾遗》、《太平广记》卷五十五记载：
寒山子者，不知其名氏，大历中，隐居天台翠屏山。其山深邃，当暑有雪，亦名寒岩，因自号：“寒山子”。好为诗，每一篇一句，辄题于树间石上，有好事者随而录之，凡三百馀首。多述山林幽隐之兴，或讥讽时态，能警励流俗。桐徵群徐灵府序而集之，分为三卷，行于人间……
书中把寒山子说成是道家神仙，但杜光庭的记述远不及佛门“三隐”事迹影响深广。
