Abstract: Qinquan (qin琴an ancient Chinese musical instrument; quan 泉 spring) Temple in Santai County which is located in Southeast of Mianyang City, Sichuan Province, China) was first built during the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The temple was named Anchang Temple after the title Anchang conferred to YUAN Ze, the Governor of Xinzhou (including current Eastern Sichuan Province, Western Hubei Province and the majority of Guizhou Province). It was later renamed as Huiyi Temple in the early Tang Dynasty, becoming a famous temple in Zizhou (current Santai County). It attracted literati such as WANG Bo, YANG Jiong, DU Fu, LI Yong, ZHAO Rui, LI Shangyin for visits and poetic inscriptions. Eminent monks Qingxu and Fazhen took the tonsure in this temple. Shenqing and Hongzhao, other two famous monks, also resided in the temple. It was renamed as Husheng Temple in the Song Dynasty, most likely during the Northern Song Dynasty. By the Jiajing Reign of Ming Dynasty at the latest, it was renamed as Qinquan Temple due to the sound of the spring in the temple resembling the sound of qin. In the Qing Dynasty, it was still called Qinquan Temple, with literati such as ZHANG Bangshen, ZHANG Wentao, WU Xingqin, and HAN Taihua leaving poetic inscriptions in the temple. During the Republic of China, it was briefly renamed as Ganlu Temple, but shortly reverted to Qinquan Temple, a name that remains in use to this day. The inscription on the steles by YU Xin, WANG Bo respectively, the bell cast by GU Yanhui, the temple tower and scripture storage cannot be found currently. The temple contains many historical relics, such as the Thousand-Buddha Cave excavated during the Tang Dynasty, the retreat site of ZHAO Rui, known as Zhao Cave.
