In history, there are many temples, especially Huagai temple! It was first built in the Song Dynasty and then rebuilt in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Later, it was bombed by the Japanese army and destroyed by the cultural revolution. After several changes, only the remnant walls and columns were broken. Recently, with the concern of the party and government, some monks wanted to prosper. However, due to the unexpected fate, they often stopped halfway. Master shangsheng and master Xiafu, the abbot of Yueshen temple in the later great Jiuhua Mountain, could not bear the decline of the founder's Taoism. They wanted to carry on the victorious deeds of the Tathagata, solve the overhanging of all living beings, uphold the grand wish of dizang, and benefit one side's group life.
