    Archaeologists have spent months excavating a lost temple that disappeared for nearly a millennium in downtown Chengdu, capital of Southwest China's Sichuan province.

    The Fugan Temple was a famous temple that lasted from the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420) to the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279).

    Daoxuan, a famous Tang Dynasty (618-907) monk, once wrote that an official rite to pray for rain to end a persistent drought was held in front of the temple, and it rained as if the prayers had been heard in heaven.

    The story was the record of how the temple got its name, Fugan, which means "perceive the blessing."

    Famous Tang Dynasty poet Liu Yuxi left a poem to commemorate the temple's renovation, describing its heavenly appearance. The poem further noted the temple's important role at that time.

    However, the building was worn down during the later period of the Tang and Song dynasties, with all traces of the temple disappearing during wars.
