In the 12th year of the Republic of China (1923), Singapore Honghua Taoist priest, together with Yuan Ying and the Second Division of Specialized Affairs, made a vow to rebuild Kaiyuan Temple, an ancient temple in Quanzhou, and invited Master Huiquan to help him nearby.

Article 20 of the ten-party convention on permanent residence in calligraphy stipulates that the abbot generation should be changed from inheritance system to meritocracy system. According to the established articles of association, Master Huiquan was elected as the first abbot after the restructuring of Shifang Jungle. After joining hands in the mountains, it is really urgent to discuss with monks, set up monk education and train Buddhist talents. Master Chang Xing, president of Anhui Monk School in Yingjiang Temple, Anqing, was invited to Nanputuo Temple to establish Minnan Buddhist College. The Buddhist College was established, with Master Huiquan as the president, Master Changxing as the vice president, and Master Huiting as the main lecturer.

Later, the former governor of Fujian Province, General Sa Zhenbing, presented Master Huiquan with a plaque of "Great Feeling in the World".
As early as the establishment of Minnan Buddhist College, in order to give Misha, who had just shaved her hair, a primary school called Little Monk Class was set up. The following year, the young monk class moved to Nanshan Temple in Zhangzhou. In the seventeenth year of the Republic of China (1928), the young monk class was stationed in Southwest Mountain Temple, and the young monk class was changed to Nanshan Buddhist College.

Master Yuan Ying, Master Zhuanwu and all the monks in Kaiyuan Temple, please turn around and preach the precepts of the old monk, and ask Master Huiquan to be Professor Ali. Because Tao is always ill, the public will say "quit" for him. /kloc-more than 0/000 disciples were forbidden to hold this unprecedented activity in Fujian for many years. After the missionary work, in the second year, Leng Yan Academy was established in Huxidong, with more than 40 students. Yang Shishi, a layman, heard of Buddhism and readily converted to it, and spent thousands of dollars to help the teacher repair Wanshilian Temple.

It was an annual meeting, and he attended lectures every day. He prefers Master Hongyi, who looks like an elder. On the other hand, lawyer Hongyi respects Gong Hui's elders. He tasted the joint gift from Gong Hui:
Just know when it will end.
Spring in the mountains is clear.
Later, a note said, "Master silver moon has returned to Huxi, and now he presents this book. After studying the moon arm, I lived in Fengzhou, Gengwu. 」
Yin Yue is the name of Master Huiquan, and Moon Arm is one of the pen names of Master Hongyi. Wu Geng was in the 19th year of the Republic of China (1930), and Fengzhou was the ancient name of Nan 'an County in Quanzhou.

At the beginning of 26, he became the abbot of Nanputuo Temple for the second time, and was the fifth abbot. A few days later, Japan's war of aggression against China began, and Xiamen fell in June 27. The Japanese spy was very popular in Gong Hui, threatening him to take a fake post, refusing to obey Gong Hui and avoiding Gulangyu Island. Then take advantage of the gap to board Hong Kong, transfer from Hong Kong to Singapore, and stay at Xilongshan Temple.

Two years later, in the thirty-first year of the Republic of China (1942), on January 16th, he reported his death in Penang. He lived to be 70 years old, one in 50 monks and one in 50 abstainers.
