Baozu Temple was renamed after the original Hoonji. It was built in Cangbu Baozu Temple, formerly known as Hoonji. It was built in the early years of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty. Ding Huang exorcist returned to Cangzi Department from Baotong Temple in Wuchang, and with the support of Zhenminxin, he bought three bungalows as Dojo for self-study and promotion of Buddhism. At that time, Li Kaixuan, a great scholar and calligrapher, was invited to personally write the plaque "Hong Yu" to show the meaning of "repay kindness", hence the name Hong Yu.
During the period of 1997, at the invitation of the government and social leaders of Cangbu Street in Xinzhou District, Master Benle presided over the reconstruction of Hongji and achieved great success. In June 5438 +2003 10, Master Ben Huan returned to Cangbu to open the icon of Hongzhi Bodhisattva. In order to distinguish Hoonji, a Taoist temple in Xinzhou, Ben Huan changed the name of the temple to "Baozu Temple" to show that he did not forget his ancestors' legacy of spreading dharma and benefiting life, and to prove the authentic origin of Buddha roots in Hongzhi's original ancestral home.
