The Maitreya Temple on Jinping Mountain has a long history. The official history of Qing Emperor Qianlong's "Mitreya Prefecture Chronicles" records: "Jinping Mountain: twenty miles north of the city, with the Jade Emperor Pavilion above and the Maitreya Temple below." "New Compilation of Yunnan General Chronicles" says: "In the sixth year of Tianqi, a monk named Ruyu obtained the Jinping Dijin Ping, raised funds to build the Maitreya Temple, and Buddhism became popular in the state. "The Maitreya Temple was completed in the sixth year of Qi tomorrow (AD 1626). It is large in scale and majestic. It is located on the beautiful Jinping Mountain in the northern suburbs of the county. The temple is divided into the East Hall, The West Hall, the Jade Emperor Hall (upper hall), and the lower hall include the Ancestral Hall, Guanyin Tower, Heavenly Mansion, Hell, etc. It is named after the statue of Maitreya Buddha as the main Buddha. There were hundreds of monks at that time, and in addition to practicing cultivation, they also farmed, brewed, and pressed oil. There were temple fields at times, and villages such as Buwangge, Malong, and Tumuji all belonged to the Buddhist temple villa, and the rent was hundreds of dan each year. On the big screen wall in the south of the temple, there are four big characters "Feiyun Liuxia" written wildly by a calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty. The writing is vigorous and fluent, which can be called a masterpiece. Under the wall, a "Buddha Spring" spurts out from a crack in the rock. It is said that drinking this water can cure diseases and disasters and prolong life. Celebrities, believers, pilgrims, and faithful men and women of all ages have come here to pay homage and sightseeing. Most of them threw copper coins into the spring and drank the water to pray for blessings. The ancients left behind a good saying: "Green flying rocks are in the water, green trees are covering the sky", and it is known as "Jinping Xieyu". Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty bestowed upon the temple three treasures: gold lacquer trays, sandalwood carved Buddha statues, and clean Buddhist beads. It became famous for a time, and many faithful men and women came to pay homage to it. Scholars and poets also often came here to relax. He left many poems. During the same period of Qing Dynasty and Xian Dynasty, the temple was destroyed by war and destroyed. After many reconstructions and repairs, it was possible to maintain the beautiful screen with green waters and green mountains. The people of the Republic of China were helpless due to the war, soldiers and gangsters harassed them, the monks and nuns were scattered, and the palaces collapsed. In 1958, the east and west halls were once used as corridors, but later collapsed in the storm. There are not many temples left.

From 1987 to 1990, the Maitreya Temple (today's Daichi-in Temple) was built according to the original regulations for the first time, so that the incense lingers as it did in the prosperous times of the Great Peace. Since 1994, the Buddhist community has followed the wishes of Buddhist believers and led the Buddhist Association to raise funds from private individuals and enterprises to rebuild and renovate the temples and Buddha statues in Maitreya Temple. In December 1999, the 19.99-meter-high Maitreya Buddha, the world's largest, was built in the heart of Jinping Mountain. It not only embodies the meaning of the Buddha within the Buddha, but also marks the development of the Jinping Mountain Scenic Area after hundreds of years of ups and downs. Charming and kind smile: A big belly can accommodate the world's affairs, and a kind heart will always protect people in the world.

The majestic brocade screen, the long ancient temple, the name of the county is Maitreya Temple, the name of Maitreya Buddha is Maitreya, this is the only wonderful and strange place in the world, it is rare to be gathered in one place in southern Yunnan. There are many wonderful legends about the cause and effect that have been circulated among the people since ancient times. It is said that one day during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the wise and wise Tathagata Buddha dreamed that there was a mountain peak in southern China that looked very much like the sitting Maitreya Buddha. Said to travel to the south. Day after day, year after year, Maitreya Bodhisattva traveled across thousands of mountains and rivers.

One day, when he came to a Maitreya tribal territory, the very tired Maitreya Bodhisattva took a nap under a tree on the opposite side of the road called Jinping Mountain. During his sleep, he saw a Buddha who looked very much like himself walking towards him with a smile. After Maitreya Bodhisattva woke up, he suddenly paused. He opened his eyes and saw Jinping Mountain opposite, as if he was sitting leisurely. Wow, what a spiritual light Buddha land! Maitreya Bodhisattva settled down here, preaching sutras everywhere, promoting Buddhism, and educating all living beings. A few years later, Maitreya Buddha traveled around the world again. After he left, the local monks missed him very much, so they raised funds to build a temple dedicated to Maitreya Buddha and named it Maitreya Temple. There is also a legend that the name of the county came from the name of Buddha.

However, if we can trace the origin, the name of Maitreya County does not come from Buddhism, but originated from the name of the ancient tribal leader. According to records, in the Tang Dynasty, the present county was located in the Badian and Bulongdian areas of Nanzhao Kingdom. The name of its leader was Maitreya, so it was named the Maitreya Department. In the seventh year of Xianzong of the Yuan Dynasty (1257), the Maitreya tribe surrendered to the Yuan regime. In the twelfth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1275), a thousand households of Maitreya were established here. In the twenty-seventh year of the Yuan Dynasty (1290), the thousand households of Maitreya were changed into a prefecture, called Maitreya Prefecture. , was changed to Maitreya County in the 35th year of Qianlong reign of Qing Dynasty (1770), and it is still in use today. However, perhaps due to the force of nature and providence, the Maitreya Temple was built on Jinping Mountain in the county, and Buddhism flourished on this land. According to Buddhism, everything happens because of fate. The name of Maitreya County comes from the Maitreya Department. The name of Maitreya Temple comes from Maitreya Buddha. The temple, county and Buddha have the same names. Maitreya comes from Maitreya, which corresponds to the word "Yuan". . This has led to various wonderful legends between Maitreya County and Maitreya Buddha, and the mystery of "the so-called Maitreya, even if it is not Maitreya, is also Maitreya".
