Over the past 1500 years, the name of the temple has changed many times, such as 'Qiling Temple', 'West Temple' in the Sui Dynasty, and 'Chengping' in the late Tang Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, due to the taboo of the two characters 'Daming', it was once called 'Qiling Temple', and in the 30th year of Qianlong, the emperor personally inscribed the title 'Chiji Fajing Temple'. In 1980, Daming Temple was restored to its original name. In 2002, it was rated as a national AAAA level scenic spot.
