Guanghua Temple began in the second year of Chen Yongding in the Southern Dynasties (AD 558). This used to be the place where houses were built. Three brothers of Lu Zheng, a Confucian in the city, gave lectures. Lu Zheng's three brothers are called "Mr. Nanhu San". Later, a Zen master from Jin Xian came here to practice. Influenced by the Zen master, the three Zheng brothers chose Lu as an nunnery and named it Jinxian Temple, also known as Jinxian Academy. This is the predecessor of Guanghua Temple. In the 9th year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty (AD 598), the Infinite Zen Master of Tiantai Mountain raised funds to expand it into "Jin Xian Temple". In the second year of Tang Jingyun (A.D. 7 1 1), Zhi Yanchang was called into the palace to talk about the quartering method, and I heard that the boundless Zen master was reciting the goblet of fire. Because of the Lingchong Bai Quan incident, Zong Rui gave the temple the name "Lingyan Temple", which was inscribed by the great calligrapher Liu Gongquan and became the great jungle of Bamin. In the first year of Xingguo in Song Taiping (AD 976), it was renamed "Guanghua Temple".
At the peak of Guanghua Temple, there are 10 courtyard and 120 temple under its jurisdiction. The eaves rub against each other, magnificent buildings emerge one after another, the gates are bustling and pilgrims are like clouds. Zhong Zhao, who was buried in the Ming Dynasty, said in a poem: "The school of Zen changed from a stream, and the silence was separated from the forest. Lingyan 120 Temple, how many towers are locked late. " It was a portrayal of the grand occasion of Guanghua Temple in Nanshan at that time. Later, it was abolished several times, leaving only Yue Feng Temple and Pumen 'an Temple during the reign of Qing Qianlong. At present, some of the main buildings of Guanghua Temple were rebuilt in the 16th year of Guangxu (1890). In the early 1980s, thanks to the enthusiastic donations from overseas Chinese, Guanghua Temple was repaired and expanded on a large scale, and the Millennium Temple was a great success. 198 1 During the Spring Festival, Zhao Puchu, president of the Chinese Buddhist Association and a famous calligrapher, came to Pupu to inspect the renovation project of Guanghua Temple, and personally wrote eight magnificent characters of "solemn land, happiness and affection" and the plaque of "Wande solemn", adding luster to this ancient temple with a thousand years.
