Before liberation, the temple was dilapidated and severely damaged during the "Cultural Revolution". After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party, due to the implementation of the Party's ethnic policy and religious policy, the Shaanxi Temple resumed legitimate religious activities. It was repaired with government funding. Today, the ancient buildings of the great temples in Shaanxi have regained their youthful brilliance and have a new look.
