In 2024, a local collector in Shiping County uncovered a clay brick bearing three molded characters: "Qing Zhen Si." The middle character, meaning "chaste" or "loyal" from the ancient I Ching, reveals a rare linguistic bridge. Early Chinese Muslims chose this character to explain Islamic monotheism through classical Chinese philosophy. This brick likely dates to 1678, the seventeenth year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, when the Shiping Mosque was first built at No. 40 Huimin Lane.

Today, the mosque stands as one of only two registered Islamic worship sites in Shiping County. Visitors walking through the Old Town Historical and Cultural District encounter a structure that blends local Yunnan carpentry with Islamic spatial needs. The layout features a main prayer hall and flanking side rooms. The scent of aged timber and the rough texture of local stone underfoot connect modern visitors directly to the builders of the past.

The site has survived multiple cycles of ruin and rebirth. Following its destruction during nineteenth-century conflicts, the local community rebuilt the mosque in 1892, the eighteenth year of the Guangxu Emperor's reign. Earlier, in 1760, a prominent local scholar-official named Sai Yu, a descendant of the Yuan Dynasty governor Sayyid Ajjal, led a project to build a pavilion on the site. Sai Yu, who lived to the age of ninety-two and received an honorary imperial degree, renamed the pavilion Wanshou to honor the Qianlong Emperor's fiftieth birthday. The morning call to prayer once echoed from this high wooden structure.

In 2015, members of the local Hui Muslim community donated their own funds to carry out a comprehensive restoration. They preserved the original vernacular style, leaving the warmth of hand-rubbed wooden pillars intact. The Shiping County Government designated the mosque as an official Historical Building in 2018.
