Long Mu Faith experienced another peak of development in the Qing Dynasty. Long Mu was coffered “Zhao Xian”, “Pu You”, “Guang Yin” successively, besides that, the most outstanding event was the substantially rebuilding of Long Mu temple. In the 31st year of Guang Xu (1905), Shun De Dong Yu Tong raised capital for Long Mu temple’s reconstruction, which drew the most skillful craftsmen of Guang Dong and Guang Xi Provinces. The construction project was completed by craftsmen’s painstaking efforts after several years. At that time, Chen Ding Sang, a person from Shun De, invited the Number One Scholar—Luo Cheng Xiang to bear an inscription “Long Mu Ancestral Temple” on a plaque in red Kai calligraphy. And the plaque was hung in front of the Temple gate, thus it extended the Temple’s influence through the region. So, the ancestral temple name we called today is from that time. In addition, the decorated archway was also rebuilt with granite and born an inscription “Imperial Decree”, and it is in concert with the Temple, Which makes the scene more magnificent and more sacred.
According to the Temple Chronicles, large scale temple fair is held from Tang and Song Dynasties during the Long Mu Birthday's Festival. More than a hundred of thousands devotees and tourists from Guang Dong and Guang Xi Provinces, Hong Kong, Macao, Hunan, Jiang Xi, Fu Jian and Gui Zhou Provinces deluged with the Yue Cheng Long Mu Ancestral Temple. And also many civilian organizations came from different places by boat. The confluence of the Xi River and the Yue Cheng River was crowded with boats.

The statuaries, sculptures, tribute desks and censers, etc. of the Temple were broken as the "four olds", the 500 square meter mural painting were blotted out with cement. The Long Mu Statue is said to be thrown into Yue Cheng River, and the Temple was converted into a granary.
Since 1980s, Long Mu Faith has had the upsurge of revival, which demonstrates its dogged vitality and great adaptability. A new development period of Long Mu Ancestral Temple comes again after the end of restoration. In the first reopening year, just over 10,000 people came to the Temple; later, the number of tourists has increased with years, from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands; nowadays, more than a million people visit Long Mu Ancestral Temple.
