During the period of Japanese occupation, Lin Jingguan, a scholar of the former Qing Dynasty, was in charge, and then Lin chaomu took over.

Later, in 1970, under the leadership of Guo Dinglu, the first chairman of the management committee, the construction of the second-class temple was started in the first month of 1972. The main hall was moved to the second floor to worship the Jade Emperor. The back hall was called "three religions hall" to worship the leaders of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. The first floor was dedicated to worship Wudou Xingjun, and a library was set up. It ended in December 1975 It took four years to complete the new palace temple.
