In August 2014, a team jointly organized by the School of History and Culture of Lanzhou University, the Research Institute for Maijishan Grotto Art, and the Qin’an County Museum carried out an on-site investigation of the Jiaye Temple site. Four caves have remained intact, in which more than ten inscriptions are preserved. The investigative report presents not only a catalogue and interpretation of the many ink or engraved inscriptions, but also offers a preliminary discussion on the reign title " Hongzhi" found in inscriptions and relevant materials.
