Famen Temple was firstly built in the reign of Emperor Huan and Emperor Ling in the late Eastern Han Dynasty (25-220). Reputed to be the "ancestor of Pagoda Temple in central Shaanxi", it was originally called the Ashoka Temple. Emperor Gaozu, the first king of the Tang Dynasty, later changed its name to Famen Temple. During the Tang Dynasty, six emperors took Sarira, relic of Sakyamuni's finger bone that kept in Famen Temple, to the east capital Luoyang to worship, and Famen Temple truly became a royal temple.
