The original name of Dazhong Temple is Juesheng Temple. It was built in the 11th year of Yongzheng reign of Qing Dynasty (1733). Located on the north side of Lenovo Bridge on the North Third Ring Road in Haidian District, a bluestone plaque hangs high on the gate of the Bell Temple, with nine flying dragons piercing the clouds engraved on it. In the center is the imperial inscription of Emperor Yongzheng, "Edict to Build Juesheng Temple". Because it contains the Yongle Bell of the Ming Dynasty, it is named Dazhong Temple. The Dazhong Temple is large in scale and was built under the order of Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty.
