According to the records of Yibin County and Xuzhou Prefecture in Qing Dynasty, qianfotai was excavated in 789, the fifth year of Dezong's Zhenyuan period in the middle Tang Dynasty, and Qianfo hall and Guanyin hall were built successively on the Qianfo platform.

When he grasped the work, he completed the Daxiong hall for the first time in 1998. The main project was completed in 1999, and the opening ceremony was held on the eighth day of April in the same year. Zhao Puchu, President of China Buddhist Association, personally inscribed the plaque of Qianfo temple. Master Zuming, who rebuilt the thousand Buddha Temple, is the fourth generation disciple of master Yuanying, a Chinese Buddhist monk.

After Chongguang, Qianfo temple was built against the mountain, with Qianfo hall, Tianwang hall, dizang hall, Daxiong hall, Guanyin hall and Qifo hall on the central axis; Luohan hall, Damo hall, Drum Tower (Tibetan Scripture building) and three holy halls in the West; Qianfo stele forest, Cuiping evening bell (bell tower), Oriental three saints and twelve medicine fork generals' niches plastic corridor and range Pavilion on the central axis, with Buddhist Chanting hall, Damo hall, Drum Tower (Tibetan Scripture tower) and western three saints hall Wuguan hall and squatter.

Later, it was Cuiping Academy (the predecessor of Shiyi No.1 Middle School), and is now the memorial hall of martyrs Zhao Yiman. On the West (right) side of Qianfo temple is adjacent to Nezha palace; on the top of the mountain behind, there are twin towers that directly plunge into the sky and stand on the top of the mountain.
