Zhang Fei, a native of Zhuo Jun County, Jizhou at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, became sworn to Liu Bei and Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei was the third. He was brave and good at fighting, and fought with Liu Bei and Guan Yu to the north and south, with outstanding achievements. He is one of the "Five Tiger Generals" in Shu Han. Zhang Fei stayed in Langzhong for seven years, protecting the environment and developing agriculture and mulberry. The people respected his loyalty and built a shrine for him to commemorate him. According to Cui Shan, the secretariat of Langzhou, the newly-built ancestral temple of Zhang Huan Hou, the ancestral temple of Huan Hou was built after the death of Zhang Fei. Although it was destroyed by fire, it was repeatedly destroyed and built. "There are more and more soil and soil, and the graveyard remains the same." Now Huanhou Ancestral Hall is a quadrangular ancient building complex rebuilt in Ming and Qing Dynasties, covering an area of more than 5,000 square meters, with large scale and exquisite architecture. It consists of the gate, the watchtower, the left and right wing rooms, the main hall, the back hall, the tomb pavilion and the tomb, with a building area of 2,200 square meters, which is a great scenic spot in China. The mountain gate and the enemy tower were built in the Ming Dynasty, and the rest were built in the Qing Dynasty. In front of the mountain gate, there are a pair of iron lions cast in the forty years of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (AD 16 12). When a Chinese-Japanese plane bombed Langzhong in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, it was injured by shrapnel and was destroyed in the Cultural Revolution. Now it's a pair of new stone lions. These two ancient monuments in front of the mountain gate record the repair of temples in past dynasties; In particular, the tablet of "Huanhou Temple" was written by Ceng Gong, one of the eight great masters in Tang and Song Dynasties. The Han Huanhou Ancestral Hall plaque on the gate was inscribed by Zhao Puchu. Look, there are two horses standing on the right and left of the door, one black and the other white. According to legend, the white horse is a swift horse that Zhang Fei exchanged with Liu Bei in the "night battle with Ma Chao", and the black horse is the black horse that Zhang Fei often rides. The watchtower is the oldest existing building in Zhangfei Temple. In the name of Zhang Fei's "enemy ten thousand people", the top of the mountain rests on the double eaves, forming a wellhead and directly supporting the eaves. Each column is inlaid with four petals into a plum blossom square column and riveted with silver ingots. There is a gold plaque "Ling Xiao Yi" under the eaves of the enemy building. It means that although Zhang Fei died, his gods were the same, sheltering and benefiting the people in Langzhong from generation to generation. There are also six headless golden dragons carved around the plaque. This is because Zhang Fei was buried in Yunyang and Langzhong. Only Zhang Fei's body was buried in Langzhong Temple.
There are four statues in the watchtower, in front of which are Zhang Fei's son Zhang Shao and grandson Zhang Zun, one with an official hat and the other with a sword. It symbolizes Zhang Fei's civil and military integrity. Zhang Fei's two ministries are similar to Wu Ban's, and they all have white helmets and white armor, because Zhang Fei's death is related to white helmets and white armor.
There is a gold plaque on the back eaves of the enemy's 10,000-story building, "Minister Tiger, Good Shepherd". This plaque was inscribed by Li, the governor of Sichuan during Shunzhi period. The so-called "tiger minister" means that Zhang Fei fought bravely and made great contributions to Shu. He is one of the five generals and an important official of the imperial court. "Good Shepherd" means that Zhang Fei is a good local official. Zhang Fei has been a parent in Langzhong for seven years and has done many good deeds and practical things for the local people. First, he built Langzhong Seoul; The second is to build water conservancy; Third, light corvee, reduce taxes, and vigorously support the development of remunerated farmers and mulberry industry. Zhang Fei vigorously pursued these policies of being close to the people, loving the people and benefiting the people, and won the love and support of the people.
There is a wooden archway on both sides of the watchtower, and there are more than 10 rooms on the east side of the watchtower, all with carved doors. There is a huge tripod in the middle of the enemy building yard. Walk past the cauldron and go up five steps to the main hall. The main hall is five rooms wide, with a big roof standing against the mountain. The roof is carved with bricks and rebuilt during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. There is a gold plaque under the eaves, titled "Rigid and Soft", written by the Prince of Qing Dynasty.
In the center of the temple is a statue of Zhang Fei, a two-meter-high tattooed emperor. Zhang Fei has a jade pendant in his hand and a headdress. Zhang Fei is a courtier of Shu, so he has a jade cicada in his hand. During Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, Zhang Fei was the emperor of Huanhou, so he wore a headdress. There are couplets written on both sides of the statue. The first part is "Brother Yuan Xie and Brother Liu Bei Yu", and the second part is "Three Points of National History". It was written by the famous poet Liushahe when he arrived in Langzhong in 1987.
On the right wall outside the main hall, there is a monument engraved with the words beneficial to horses, also known as Bameng Monument. The content is: "General Han broke the snitch for the first time at the rate of ten thousand talents." After Zhang Fei defeated Cao Jiang Zhang He, he did it on a whim. On the stone tablet on the right, there are eight characters of "pure and unyielding, the book is like a person", which is the praise of Zhang Fei by Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of Ming Dynasty. It is quite appropriate to say that Zhang Fei is honest and upright, and his calligraphy is no less than that of people.
On the right side of the main hall are the weapons used by Zhang Fei before his death: iron whip and Iron Spear. Iron whip is 1 m long, square and about 4 cm wide. The starting point is 5 paragraphs, and the middle paragraph is a single lap, so as to grasp; It has 24 knots and a blade at the tip, weighing about 20 kilograms. There are two iron spears in size: the big one was made by later generations; The small dish is simple in form, and the upper blade is as tortuous as a snake. It is said that this is the "Zhang Ba Snake Spear" used by Zhang Fei on the battlefield. Passing through the main hall is the tomb of Zhang Fei. There is a tomb in front of the tomb, which contains stone arch coupons and a statue. The original statue was cast in iron during Yongle period of Ming Dynasty, with a height of1.65m.. Destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, it is now a clay sculpture. Fan Qiang and Zhang Da, who killed Zhang Fei, knelt before the statue of Zhang Fei.
At that time, Guan Yu and his son lost Jingzhou, defeated Maicheng and were killed by Soochow. Liu Bei was sad and angry when he heard the news. He wants to crusade against Wu and avenge his second brother. He ordered Zhang Fei to rush to Jiangzhou (now Chongqing) to meet the enemy. After receiving the order from Liu Bei, Zhang Fei ordered his two subordinates, Fan Qiang and Zhang Da, to make white helmets and white armor in three days. Zhang Fei meant to be a white helmet and armor to commemorate the death of his second brother. But the two men were told to make a hundred helmets and a hundred pieces of armor. They thought they couldn't finish it in three days, so they reported to Zhang Fei. Zhang Fei thought that the two men intended to shirk, so he gave a good beating. And warned that if military punishment is not completed. Fan Qiang and Zhang Da don't think they can do it well in three days. They might as well kill him as be killed. So the two of them touched Zhang Fei's account overnight, killed Zhang Fei while he was sleeping, cut off his head, and fled to Wu overnight. But when they arrived in Yunyang, Chongqing, they heard that Wu and Shu were making peace. The two men panicked and threw Zhang Fei's head into the river in Yunyang. Later, an old fisherman salvaged Zhang Fei's head and recognized it as General Zhang Fei, so he was buried at the foot of Phoenix Mountain in Yunyang. This is the origin of Zhang Fei's "head in Yunyang, body in Langzhong".
The tomb behind the tomb pavilion is Zhang Fei's final resting place. People of all ages cherish the memory of Zhang Fei's great achievements and cultivate the restored soil for him. Today, the tomb is 42 meters long, 25 meters wide and 8 meters high.
Not only the people in Langzhong cherish the memory of Zhang Fei, but even our compatriots in Taiwan Province Province love Zhang Fei deeply, and they came to Wan Li to pay homage. The "Emperor Zhang Huanhou Worship Group" held in Fuxing Palace in Taichung City has been holding worship activities in Langzhong Huanhou Ancestral Hall for seven consecutive years, and its scale is getting bigger and bigger. They gave the plaque of "ten thousand enemies" on the enemy's ten thousand floors. The so-called Fuxing Palace organization should be regarded as a pig killing industry association, and many of its bosses are from the slaughter industry. Because Zhang Fei was born in the slaughter industry. These big bosses think that Zhang Fei is the ancestor of their slaughter industry, so they come to worship and bless their business. There is a "Xiaoyi Building" at Shangxinjiekou outside the original south gate of Langzhong ancient city, which is also a sacred building dedicated to Zhang Huanhou in the slaughter industry. Therefore, although Zhang Fei is dead, his heroism will always bless the people in Langzhong, and many well-known stories he left behind will be told forever.
