History
Buddha Qing'an.
It was established in the Yuan dynasty (1271–1368), at the time it was called Furong Temple (芙蓉庵).[2]
During the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), it was made up of granite. In 1413, in the eleventh year of the age of Yongle (1403–1424) of Yongle Emperor (1360–1424), Yongle Emperor named it "Puji Temple" (普济寺).[2][3]
In modern times, the temple fell into disrepair due to war.[2] In the 21st century, the government of Qingshanqiao Town rebuilt the temple.[1]
