Kaiyuan Temple, also known as Dongda Temple, is located at No.88, Kaiyuan North Road, Qiaodong District, Xingtai City. It was built during the post-Zhao Xerox reign. It is the hometown of the second ancestor of Zen Buddhism and the master of the Seven Ancestors' Association. It is one of the birthplaces and the ancestral home of the "Da Kaiyuan Case", also known as "Jia Bodhisattva Sect". Up to now, it has a history of nearly 1700 years and is a well-preserved famous temple in the Tang Dynasty.

Kaiyuan Temple is a royal temple in Tang Dynasty, Five Dynasties, Song Dynasty and Yuan Dynasty. Most of the previous abbots were eminent monks. During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty built it by imperial edict, and Kaiyuan Temple in Xingzhou was rebuilt by Dayun Temple. When the temple was first built, the incense was at its peak and it was the highest in northern China. Kongben, a five-generation Tianzhu (India) monk, translated Buddhist scriptures in Zaoli during Hou Liang Ganjia's reign, making outstanding contributions to cultural exchanges between China and foreign countries. In the Zhou Dynasty in the late Five Dynasties, Chai Rong, a native of Xingtai, Zhou Shizong, ordered the establishment of the Great Sage Pagoda of Kaiyuan Temple. At the end of the Song Dynasty, the Great Sage Pagoda of Kaiyuan Temple in Xingzhou was rebuilt, and Song Huizong named it Zhao Yuan Pagoda, which was 98 meters high in the Yuan Dynasty.

Early Shunde Prefecture in Xingzhou was Kublai Khan's fief. The founder Kublai Khan visited Kaiyuan Temple several times, and Zen Master Wan 'an restored the circular photo tower damaged by the fire to 13 floor, with a height of108m, which can accommodate thousands of people. At Liu's invitation, Kublai Khan changed the circular photo tower to Pumen Tower. This stupa is the tallest and largest wooden stupa in the history of China, so the temple is more prosperous. During the reign of Zheng De in Ming Dynasty, the temple was restored again.

According to historical records, from the Tang Dynasty to the early Ming Dynasty, there were thousands of monks in Kaiyuan Temple, with several hectares of fertile land and countless monks and Buddhists. The Yuan Dynasty was the most prosperous period of the temple, and Kublai Khan of Yuan Shizu was lucky enough to visit Kaiyuan Temple twice. 1250, Kublai Khan named Kaiyuan Temple in Xingzhou as Dakaiyuan Temple. 1276, Kublai Khan held a memorial ceremony at Kaiyuan Temple in Xingzhou, with100000 recipients at one time. 1279, Kublai Khan once again set up a sacrificial ceremony and memorial tablet at Kaiyuan Temple in Xingzhou, although after the Ming Dynasty, according to Xingtai County Records, "When the morning sun rises, smoke fills the air at dusk, monks offer prayers and bells travel for miles." Therefore, Kaiyuan Temple was the Buddhist center in northern China at that time.
