Daming Temple is situated in the northwest of Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province, and was the place where Jianzhen, an accomplished monk in the Tang Dynasty (618-907), performed Buddhist rites. In 1983, it was designated as one of national key temples in the areas of the Han nationality.

Daming Temple was built during the Daming reign of the Southern Dynasty (457-464); therefore, it was named Daming Temple. But Daming Temple was renamed several times. Because there stood a pagoda to enshrine Buddhist relics called Xiling (Soul Living) Pagoda, this temple was named Xiling Temple. Also, because this temple was in the west of the Sui Empire's palace, it was called West Temple among the people.
