The temple is an important religious site and a national key protected cultural relic. It houses numerous Buddhist scriptures and artifacts.

The name Guangji can also be a given name for individuals in China. For example, Guangji is a character in the classic Chinese novel "Journey to the West." This character is often depicted as a disciple of Xuanzang.

The meaning of "Guangji" in Chinese generally translates to "broad relief" or "extensive help," suggesting a benevolent or helpful purpose. The specific context is crucial for determining which Guangji is being referred to.
