Yuhua Temple was built in the fifth year of the Tang Dynasty (770) by Bukong, one of the four great Buddhist translators in China. The temple was abandoned and revived many times in the Tang, Song and Ming Dynasties, and was revived by Jingshan Zen Master Gong Jing and his disciple Yi 'an Zen Master in Jingtai period of Ming Dynasty. Chenghua Xin Chou (148 1 year) was given the gold plaque "manjuji" by the emperor. Master Chuoji Shenjian, a Buddhist disciple of Sakyamuni Buddha Society, has been practicing dharma in Yuhua Temple for a long time. His main disciple was monk Lu Si, who felt justified and hid the bamboo. In the third year of Hongzhi, the Buddha died in Yuhua Temple, and the tower stood in front of the main mountain of Yuhua Temple. Therefore, Yuhua Temple is the earliest Gelug Sect temple in Wutai Mountain, and it is also a model for Chinese and Tibetan monks to live, live and practice together.
In the Qing Dynasty, in the 23rd year of Kangxi, Yuhua Temple was changed to Huangmiao, which is one of the top ten Huangmiao in Wutai Mountain. When Emperor Qianlong was in power, it was also one of the five scenic spots of the Zhang family. Emperor Kangxi, Emperor Qianlong and Emperor Jiaqing visited Yuhua Temple several times, leaving imperial couplets and poems.
In the late Cultural Revolution (1978), the temple was demolished. Now it is presided over by Master Shi Xinxing, and the temple is being restored and rebuilt in order to learn from the maritime dharma vein and the Gruba Dojo in Han Dynasty.
Yuhua Temple has existing Ming and Qing ruins: mainly: Luohanping, Closed Doors, Paifang, Tianwang Hall, Daxiong Hall, Tibetan Scripture Building, East-West Attached Hall, Wenshuyuan, Yuhuachi (ancient well in Sui Dynasty), Tibetan monk Tallinn (about 20), Longwang Temple, Luohan Footprints, more than ten pieces of bluestone tablets, stupas and many other religious relics. Only 260 of the 500 Luohan statues cast in the Ming Dynasty were kept in Xiantong Temple in Wutai Mountain.
