In the next few years, the temple was expanded. In the Ming dynasty, the temple suffered a fire, and it was only in the Qing dynasty that it was restored. During the reign of Kangxi, the monk Jie Feng went to Zifu Temple in Yu Ying, where he died.

Yingbaique temple
Address: Yingshang County
The incense of Baique Temple is intermittent. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Buddhism flourished in China. A Dharma monk passed by and saw the decadence of the temple, so he begged for money to repair and build it. Since then, the former glory of Baique Temple has reappeared.

At this time, wars were frequent, floods flooded, temples were burned and monks fled, resulting in a situation of "no chickens and dogs in a hundred miles, no smoke in the village, and barren farmland". Who will ask about the temple? "Since then, the incense in the temple has never been burned. At this time, the Bali River is even more desolate. With the Huaihe River getting wider and wider, every summer and autumn, when the water level rises, there are dozens of miles of oceans.
