Master Tan Yu, the maternal uncle of Liang Wudi Xiao Yan in the Southern Dynasties, came to Guangzhou from Cambodia to look for cultural relics. In order to welcome this Buddhist treasure, Xiao Yu, the secretariat of Guangzhou, deliberately created the "Bao Zhuang Yan Temple" here; When Duangong was rebuilt two years ago in the Northern Song Dynasty, the monks in the temple were renamed Jinghui Temple to clean up business and worship Huineng, the sixth ancestor of Zen Buddhism.
Su Shi, a writer and calligrapher in Song Dynasty, visited Guangzhou in the third year of Song Dynasty. He wrote a book when he saw six ancient banyan trees in the temple. There are no six banyan trees now, so the "six banyan trees" are actually historical relics and are only for commemoration. The word "Liurong" in front of the door was written by Su Dongpo, and it was called Liurong Temple in the Ming Dynasty and has been passed down to this day.
