In recent history, it was bombed by Japanese airplanes, Grand Hall, Maitreya Hall and abstinence hall turned to relics. Only the Temple Gate and Guanyinge surprisingly survived. The present Grand Hall and Maitreya Hall was rebuilt according to the original appearance by Buddhist Association of Hunan province and Mt.Yuelu Scenic Spot Management Agency.
