According to the records of Wencheng County Records, Qingtian County Records, Anfu Temple Inscriptions and other materials, in the eighth year of Song Dynasty, the empty monk and Ye Enren rebuilt the site; Song Xianchun (1247- 1265) rebuilt. In the Yuan Dynasty, the soldiers were in a state of chaos, the main hall was decayed and the city walls collapsed. In the ninth year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty (1636), monks were restored.
