At first, Emperor Yang Di's literary talent and martial arts were very famous among the emperors in China. He built a canal and conquered Korea, so he felt that what he did was unparalleled in the world. He thought it was a cause given to him by God, so he built Kanye Temple.

Ganye Temple is famous for Wu Zetian becoming a monk here.

According to Zi Jian, on May 26th, the 23rd year of Zhenguan (AD 649), Emperor Taizong died and became a monk in Ganye Temple. "In March of the fifth year of Yonghui in Tang Gaozong (AD 654), he was ordered to return to the palace".

History will not tell us which emperor made the rules.
