Hongluo Temple was founded in the fourth year of Xiankang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (AD 338), originally named as "daming temple" (renamed as "Fugu Temple for Protecting the Country" in the Ming Dynasty, commonly known as "Hongluo Temple" because of the wonderful legend of Hongluo Fairy). At that time, northern China was under the rule of the post-Zhao Dynasty during the Sixteen Kingdoms period. In the fourth year of Jin Yonghuai (AD 3 10), the Buddhist monk Tucheng from the Western Regions came to China to preach, and was treated favorably by Emperor Schleswig and an uncle of Shi Hu, the late Zhao Dynasty, so he preached in the territory of the latter Zhao Dynasty and built a temple tower. He was the first person in China who was officially approved as a disciple by the state (China became a monk), and died in Yegong Temple in the last year of Jianwu in Shi Hu (the fourth year of Yonghe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, AD 348). According to the Biography of Monks, the Buddha Tucheng preached in the post-Zhao period for more than 30 years, and there were 893 temples, among which Hongluo Temple was one.
Hongluo Temple is the largest Buddhist garden in northern China, covering an area of 10 square meters. It has been a Buddhist shrine for thousands of years. In the past, there were many royal orders, frequent monks and extraordinary Buddhism. There was a famous Buddhist monk in the Jin Dynasty, and a Buddhist monk named Yunshan in the Yuan Dynasty. In the Qing Dynasty, Master Ji Xing (Mengdong) presided over the Hongluo Temple and founded the Pure Land Dojo in Luohong, which made Buddhism more prosperous. During the Guangxu period, monks from Yin Guang came to Hongluo Temple to learn the Pure Land Method, and then came to Putuo to create the Pure Land Dojo. Therefore, there is a saying that there is Putuo in the south and Luohong in the north.
