During the reign of emperor Shenzong in Wanli (about 1580), he decorated Buddhist statues and exchanged them for gold.

There is a saying in the stele of heavy Buddha statue: "since the establishment of Yong'an Temple by the imperial edict of Tang Dynasty, song Yingzong carried out the imperial edict of praising and repairing in 1067; until the third year of Zhishun (1332), the scale began to grow.

In the Ming Dynasty of Yue Dynasty, Li Seng used it for a long time. In the early days of Hongwu (1468), he added the old system and exchanged it for Jinrong. In the eighth year of Jiajing, in 1529, Seng Baofeng was born and repaired. He was not born in the light of the Buddha.
