Why are there Taoist gossip on the algae well of Lingguang Temple?
This starts with the creation of Lingguang Temple, which was built in the Dali period of the Tang Dynasty (766-779 AD). Formerly known as Longquan Temple, it was expanded in Liao Dynasty and renamed Jueshan Temple in Jin Dynasty. After the reconstruction of Chenghua in the 15th year of Ming Dynasty, it was renamed Lingguang Temple, whose name is still in use today. It was built in the Dali period of the Tang Dynasty (766-779 AD), so it seems that Wu Zetian had been dead for decades when Lingguang Temple was founded. If it is to prove that the Zhou Dynasty or Lee's world, it can only be Tang Daizong Li Yu. In order to consolidate the dominant position of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty after the Zhou Dynasty, some whitewashing was carried out.

On the other hand, Taoism was highly respected in the Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin worshipped Laozi as his ancestor, made Taoism the state religion, and vigorously promoted Taoism. Buddhism was suppressed at this time. In order to cater to the value orientation of the imperial court, Lingguang Temple painted Taoist gossip on the algae wells of Buddhist temples.
