The temple traces its origins to the former "Youxi Daochang" (幽溪道场), founded by master Zhiyi in the 6th century, and would later become the "Gaoming Temple" (高明寺) in the Tianyou period (904–907) of the Tang dynasty (618–907).[2][3]
In 936, in the 3rd year of Qingtai period (934–936) in the Later Tang dynasty (923–937), the temple was renamed "Zhizhe Youxi Tayuan" (智者幽溪塔院)
In 1606, in the reign of Wanli Emperor (1573–1620) in the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), master Chuandeng (传灯) resided in the temple, where he disseminated Tiantai Buddhism. To commend his contribution, he had been honored as "Rebirth of Zhiyi".[3]
The modern temple was founded in 1980. In 1981, under the support of overseas Chinese Xia Jingshan (夏荆山) and Zhou Qinli (周勤丽), abbot Juehui (觉慧) refurbished and redecorated the temple.
