Немного истории

The original temple was first built in 247 AD during the Three Kingdoms period. It was originally beside Suzhou Creek and relocated to its current site in 1216 during the Song dynasty. The temple was rebuilt in the Qing dynasty but razed during the Cultural Revolution and turned into a plastic factory. In 1983, the site was returned to its original purpose and rebuilt. In 1953, Master Chisong reestablished the temple under the Tangmi Buddhist tradition.
