Liu ShouZhen is also known as "Liu Hejian" and "Mr. Hejian". According to Baoding county annals published by Guangxu of Qing Dynasty, Liu ShouZhen was born on March 15 of the lunar calendar in 1110, the fourth year of Daguan in Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty was characterized by political corruption, constant wars, starvation and epidemic diseases. At the age of 25, he is determined to study medicine and cure people's sufferings.

According to the reality of the north, combined with clinical practice, and referring to the internal classic, he wrote the book "the original disease pattern of plain questions and mysterious mechanisms", which expounded in detail the reason of the rise and fall of the five movements and six Qi, and put forward the viewpoint of "fire and heat" for the first time. He believed that wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, fire and other external pathogenic factors were pathogenic, and heat was common. If the five aspirations are too high, they are all very hot. If the emotions are too high, such as joy, anger, worry, thinking, sadness, fear and shock, they will damage the internal organs and cause fever.

In addition, he gave full play to the 19 pathogenesis items in Su Wen Zhi Zhen Yao Da Lun, expanded the 21 kinds of diseases caused by six Qi to 81 kinds, and put forward the theory and treatment measures of fire heat disease, which was a major breakthrough compared with the stereotypes of following the local prescriptions and focusing on the formation of pungent, warm, fragrant and dry herbs at that time. He became the founder of the "cold and cold school" and was known as the four great masters of Jin and Yuan Dynasties together with Li Dongtan, Zhang Zihe and Zhu Danzi.

Liu ShouZhen was a medical expert with great national integrity. During the reign of Jin Dynasty, those in power had asked him to become an official for three times, but they were all refused, and he was named noble sir. It is said that during his stay in Baoding, he brought the "dead" of the Tang family back to life.

His first "Fangfeng Tongsheng powder" is still a good prescription for treating both exterior and interior diseases and surgical viruses. In 1170, Liu ShouZhen died. In memory of him, later generations built ancestral temples in his old residence. In the late Qing Dynasty, the Empress Dowager admired his reputation and gave him a plaque. Cao Kun, the tour envoy of Shandong and Henan, also sent people to renovate it during the Baoshi period. Later generations came to offer sacrifices on his birthday (March 15 of the lunar calendar), and as time passed, it became a temple fair.

In 1984, the relevant departments repaired the main hall of liushou temple and the East and west auxiliary hall.

There are three main halls in liushou temple. There are wing rooms on the left and right sides of the front courtyard. There are four stone steles. They are well preserved.

On June 1, 1984, liushou temple was listed as a municipal cultural relic protection unit by Baoding Municipal government. The protected area extends to liushoumiao street in the East, Fuhe River in the south, moat in the West and Tianwei road in the north.
