During the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, the Empress Dowager Cixi came to the Miaofeng Mountain Empress Temple to "pray for acne" for the young Emperor Tongzhi. At that time, the Empress Dowager Cixi took the Zhongbei Road, up the mountain from the Bei'an River in today's Haidian District, and arrived at the Miaofeng Mountain Empress Temple via Miao'erwa. . Soon after, Emperor Tongzhi's acne was cured. Empress Dowager Cixi, out of gratitude, had these three plaques printed and sent to the temple.
