The present record is intentionally concise. Future research should distinguish the earlier temple tradition from securely dated rebuilding phases and document the site's twentieth-century institutional history.

This record limits its public historical claim to the site's established Ming–Qing fabric and modern institutional role; fuller chronology awaits source review.
