There is Laojun in the temple, so it is called Laojun temple. According to the local records of Zhongjiang County and the religious records of Zhongjiang County, "Laojun temple was originally named laomiaozi, but later it was renamed today. It was first built in the Yuan Dynasty of the Western Han Dynasty and rebuilt in the second year of the Song Dynasty (1095). It is said that Zhao Xu, the emperor of song zhezong, once paid homage to this temple. The temple has preserved the holy tripod and is still in good condition. With a large temple and many statues, it has been the first of the three major temples in Tongchuan Prefecture for a long time. Laojun temple has a long history. It has gone through the Tang, song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. The temple is magnificent in construction and elegant in layout.

A total of 821 statues of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and gods were created. laojunguan was originally under the jurisdiction of Zhongjiang County. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, after the "land reform" movement, the property was confiscated and distributed to the farmers who had no land and little land for cultivation. The monk returned to the secular life and went home to work in his hometown. In 1953, it was under the jurisdiction of Lezhi county. In 1955, there was no one in charge of Guanfang, so Guanfang was removed and used to repair Kongsi village primary school. The temple, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and statues were destroyed. after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the county Party committee and the county people's government implemented the religious policy, and the local believers began to resume their Taoist life.
