In November 1933, Dong Zhengxiu renewed it, which can accommodate 700 people. Holy spring: in front of Shengquan temple, there is a spring flowing out from the stone. It keeps flowing all the year round. The four seasons are clear, and its taste is sweet. Although there is a severe drought, it is inexhaustible. The internal quality of rice is better than that of other holy spring water. All the springs of zhenleishan flow into Shihe River continuously. The reason why zhenleishan spring is called holy water is that it has its own unique effect like other sources of Shihe River. Su Dongpo, a writer and painter of the Northern Song Dynasty, often cooks tea in Shishui. When cooking with it, the rice is fragrant, and the pots and cooking utensils with this water are as clean as new without precipitation and scaling.

The holy words of Shengquan Temple violated the taboo of empress xiaoshengxian. In order to avoid the literary prison at that time, Shengquan temple was changed into Shengquan temple, which should also be during this period.
