During the Wanli period of Longqing (1567-1619 AD), the general Gu Yong built the Wuliang hall. In the fifth year of Chongzhen (1632 AD), Huixi, a monk, opened the golden light cave. Taiqing temple was originally the upper courtyard of Hongliang temple. In the 10th year of Daoguang reign, the capital of Manchuria, Zhong Zhixiu, abandoned his official position and fled to Xuanmen for the first time because foreigners entered the Central Plains. In June of the eighth year of Guangxu (1882 AD), Zhong Zhixiu was granted the title of "protecting the country and longevity Lingfeng Puji immortal" by the emperor.
