Repair and reconstruction of Wolong Temple;

In Yuan Dynasty, Wolong Temple was rebuilt. In the tenth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1377), it was rebuilt again. At present, there are many stone tablets of Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties in the temple, which record this history.

In the Qing Dynasty, Wolong Temple was also severely deaf. In the second year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty (1852), it was revived into a ten-square jungle with inscriptions. Tongzhi for seven years (1868), rebuilt the temple and set up the "Wolong Historical Monument".

Cixi also personally inscribed "Ciyun Mourning for the Sun" and "Tri-ride Brilliance" to the temple, and built "Ten Wolong Zen Forests" for the mountain gate. At that time, lamas and princes from Tibet and Mongolia sent all kinds of tributes and Buddha statues from afar, among which the Buddha statues were sent to Wolong Temple by decree. So there are many small Buddha statues in the temple.
