The current temple, located in Taizishan Park (太子山公园), Luhe District, was only built in 2010, even though its history dates back to 527 during the Liang dynasty: the temple was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt 10 times over the millennium. As a result of rising water, the original temple was submerged in the Yangtze by 12th-century Song dynasty, so a new temple bearing its name was built in 1185 further north. The temple was also burned down several times in wars, including the 12th/13th-century Jin–Song Wars and the 19th-century Taiping Rebellion, but always rebuilt. Most recently, the 1954 Yangtze River floods completely destroyed the last pre-modern temple. As the former site was later occupied by a petroleum company, the temple built in 2010 is located about 5km away.
