Introduction to Guanghua Temple: Guanghua Temple was founded in the second year of Chen Yongding in the Southern Dynasty (AD 558). It was originally the place where the three brothers Zheng Lu, a Confucian scholar in the city, built a house to teach. Later, a Zen master Jinxian came here to practice Buddhism. The three Zheng brothers were inspired by the Zen master and turned their hut into a nunnery, named "Jinxian nunnery", also known as "Jinxianyuan". In the ninth year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty (AD 598), Zen Master Wuji from Tiantai Mountain raised funds to expand the temple into "Jinxian Temple". In the second year of Jingyun of the Tang Dynasty (AD 711), the elder Zhiyan was summoned to the palace to lecture on the "Four-Fun Law". He heard that Zen Master Wuji recited the "Lotus Sutra" at that time. In response to the white spring coming out of the stone, Ruizong gave it to the temple. It was named "Lingyan Temple" and a plaque was written by Liu Gongquan, a great calligrapher. This name became important for a while and became a major jungle in Fujian. In the first year of the Taiping and Xingguo reign of the Song Dynasty (976 AD), it was renamed "Guanghua Temple".
