History
Shangliu Temple was built in Qing dynasty (1644–1911).[1]
During the New Culture Movement (1910 and 1920s), it was occupied. The last abbot Keyi (瞌揖) fled to the Fozu Mountain (佛祖山) and went into seclusion. It was used as a sewing school. Later, it was used as the schoolhouse of Ningxiang Primary School.[1]
In 1939, it was used as the Government Office of Shangliu Township (上流乡政府).[1]
