There is a monument to Su Dongpo's reading desk. " It shows that at least in the Northern Song Dynasty, Huazang Temple did exist, but it was later destroyed.

The present Huazang Temple was approved by the Religious Affairs Bureau of Sichuan Provincial Government 1999. At present, only Tianwang Temple has been built, and other temples are under construction. The Heavenly King Hall is also very humble, dedicated to Maitreya Buddha, and the two heavenly kings under the eaves are tall and majestic, which is rare.

On the right of the King's Hall is the Hall of Great Compassion. Buddhism says that the heart of saving the suffering is called sorrow; Buddhas and bodhisattvas have great compassion, so they are called great compassion. This is dedicated to Master Guanyin. To the north of Tianwang Temple is Guanyin Hall, which is under construction. In front of guanyin temple, a lush litchi tree is said to have been planted by Su Dongpo himself. There is a monument under the tree, engraved with the Buddhist relationship between Su Shi and Huazang Temple.

Su Shi studied in Huazang Temple as a teenager. Later, it was also said that the three princes of the Dragon King had also studied under Su Dongpo here. /kloc-In the late autumn of 0/059, Su Shi went home to attend his mother's funeral, and on the eve of his departure, he donated some of his mother's relics to Huazang Temple. 1068 In the dead of winter, Su Shi planted two litchi trees in his hometown before going to work after returning to his father and burying his wife. One plant was planted in front of the Seven Immortals Hall in Susan Temple, and the other plant was planted in Huazang Temple. More than 900 years have passed, and the seedlings of that year have become towering trees. Litchi is green, and I miss my old friend, and I have made great achievements and sacrificed.

After Su Shi left his hometown, he never went back to his hometown, but he missed his hometown very much and was thinking about the litchi he planted. It is said that Su Shi once sent back a small poem, which clearly reflected the homesickness of the wanderer.

When my old friend sent me to the East, I planted litchi myself and waited for me to come back.
