The temple is dedicated to Baosheng Dadi, the God of Medicine, and is protected as a county-level historical building.

In response to major disease outbreaks in the area, in 1666, a resident with the surname Wu traveled back to Quanzhou to invite the spirit of Baosheng Dadi to Dacheng.

In 1674, a small temple made of rammed earth was built to house the deity, which became the religious center of the town.

[1] In December 2019, the county government began renovating the building and preserve the relics inside.

Though the temple itself is not large, it is intricately decorated with sculptures of people and creatures from Chinese folklore on its columns, beams, and roof.
