It is located in Nanqujiang County, Shaoguan City. It is a famous Buddhist temple in China. It was founded during the Liang Tianjian period (502-519) in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and was originally named Baolin Temple. In the second year of Yifeng of the Tang Dynasty (667), Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism, became the abbot of Caoxi and developed the Southern School of Zen Buddhism. Therefore, Buddhists call Nanhua Temple the ancestral temple. It is said that the famous verse of the Sixth Patriarch Huineng, "Bodhi is not a tree, is not a tree" is from here.

Note: The Sixth Patriarch Huineng
At that time, the Sixth Patriarch of the Southern Sect, Huineng, went to Shaozhou for the first time in search of a teacher. He heard that the Fifth Patriarch Hongren was in Huangmei, so he served as a Huotou monk. The Fifth Patriarch wanted an heir to the Dharma, so he ordered his disciples and monks to each write a stanza. Venerable Shenxiu said: The body is like a Bodhi tree, and the mind is like a mirror. I should brush it diligently at all times to prevent any dust. At that time, Huineng was grinding rice in the kitchen. Hearing this verse, he said: If it is beautiful, it will be beautiful, but if it is finished, it will be unfinished. Because I thought to myself a verse: Bodhi is not a tree, nor is a mirror a stand. There is nothing in the first place, how can it be stained by dust? The Fifth Patriarch then passed on the mantle to him.
Hui Neng easily took the mantle of Buddhism, but also attracted the pursuit of his senior brother Shenxiu and his gang. He had to hide his name and sneak back to Guangdong for thirteen years. Finally, he was able to stay safely in Baolin Temple (Nanhua Temple) in Caoxi, Shaoguan. (predecessor) spread Zen Buddhism and spread compassion widely, which flourished for a while. The thousand-person pot in the temple was a product of that time.
