Introduction to Chengtian Temple: Chengtian Temple was built in the first year of Tianyou Chuisheng (AD 1050) of Yizong in the Western Xia Dynasty. It has a history of more than 800 years. According to historical records, after the death of Li Yuanhao, the founding emperor of Xixia, his son ascended the throne as emperor just after he turned one year old. The Empress Dowager Wu Zangshi built this temple and pagoda to "accept heaven and take care of destiny" for Emperor Baoyizong's "holy longevity without boundaries" and protect the Li family and the Xixia country to "continue forever".
