Brief introduction of Wuhou Temple

Chengdu Wuhou Temple began in 223 AD when Liu Bei's Hui Ling was built. It is the only temple in China where the monarch and the minister worship together, the memorial site of the most famous heroes such as Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and Shu Han, and the most influential museum of the Three Kingdoms in the world.

196 1 year, the State Council was announced as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units. 1984, Chengdu Wuhou Temple Museum was established. In 2008, it was rated as a national first-class museum and enjoyed the reputation of "Holy Land of the Three Kingdoms".

Wuhou Temple Museum is now divided into three parts: Cultural Relics Area, West Area and Jinli, with an area of 230 mu (6.5438+0.5 million square meters).

According to the new planning content of Wuhou Temple, Wuhou Temple divides these three areas into three parts: Three Kingdoms Historical Sites Area, Jinli Folk Custom Area and Three Kingdoms Cultural Experience Area.

The cultural relics area is mainly composed of Hui Ling, Han Zhaolie Temple, Wuhou Temple and Sanyi Temple. After wind and rain, the existing main building was restored in the 11th year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1672).

As early as the Tang Dynasty, Wuhou Temple has become a famous tourist attraction.

Du Fu, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, said, "Where is the Hall of Fame? It is deep in a pine forest near Silk City.

"It is adjacent to the former Hui Ling Temple (the tomb of Liu Bei).

The main building of Wuhou Temple is divided into six parts: the main entrance, the second entrance, Liu Beitang, Guo Tingtang, Zhuge Liangtang and Sanyi Hall, which are strictly arranged on a central axis from south to north.

There are 50 heroic statues of Shu Han, such as Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang, and the museum has a dazzling array of cultural relics. There are more than 50 inscriptions on Zhuge Liang and the culture of the Three Kingdoms in the Tang Dynasty and later generations, and more than 70 plaques and couplets since the Qing Dynasty, especially the "Three Juebei" in the Tang Dynasty and the "Attack on the Heart" couplets in the Qing Dynasty.

There are thousands of ancient cultural relics, calligraphy and paintings, and tens of thousands of books and records about the culture of the Three Kingdoms.

In addition, there are scenic spots and service facilities such as "Three Kingdoms Cultural Exhibition", "Kongming Garden", "Qunxian Hall", "Jieyi Building", "Xiangyexuan", "Taoyuan" and "Tourist Center", which integrate sightseeing, entertainment and leisure, with beautiful environment and rich content.

Jinli ancient street and garden area are located on the east and west sides of ancient buildings respectively.

As soon as I entered the gate, six stone tablets stood under the shade of the tree, the largest of which was the "Zhu Houzu Monument" in the Tang Dynasty, which was called the "Three Wonders Monument" because of its high cultural value.

Pei Du, a famous prime minister in the Tang Dynasty, wrote an inscription, Liu Gongzhuo wrote it and LuJian carved it.

They are all exquisite, so they are called the Three Wonders Monument.

The inscription focuses on Zhuge Liang's short and tragic life. I strongly praise Zhuge Liang's integrity and martial arts to inspire the rulers of the Tang Dynasty.

The inscription especially praised Zhuge Liang's thought of rule of law. Ma Su was beheaded by Zhuge Liang because he lost his street pavilion. Masu cried and said that he died without complaining.

Li Yan and Liao Li are both sinners exiled by Zhuge Liang, but they are also willing to plead guilty.

When they learned that Zhuge Liang had died of illness, they "either hurt, cry or die."

These are historical facts, and Pei Du commented on them according to history. What is convincing is that the inscription is very incisive and fluent, which makes people never tire of reading it.

Zhuge Liang was admired by later generations because of his noble thoughts, decent style and no abuse of power for personal gain.

After his death, he was buried at the foot of Dingjun Mountain in Mianxian County, Shaanxi Province.

In his will, he asked to build a tomb by the mountain, as long as the coffin could be accommodated in the tomb. He died dressed in ordinary clothes and didn't need funerary objects.

Stepping into the second door, a magnificent and spacious hall of Liu Bei appeared.

In the middle is the gilded statue of Liu Bei, and on the left is his grandson Liu Chen.

Why does my son Liu Chan have no place here? It is said that Liu Chan was unable to keep his legacy because of his stupidity and incompetence. His image was destroyed several times in the Song and Ming Dynasties, and has never been reshaped.

On both sides of the temple, there are statues of Guan Yu, his son and Zhou Cang in the east, and three generations of Zhang Fei's grandparents and grandchildren in the west.

There are 14 statues of civil servants and generals in Shu and Han dynasties in the east and west corridors respectively.

Out of Liu Bei Hall, through the hall with the plaque of "Wuhou Temple", you will arrive at Zhuge Liang Hall.

In the center of the hall, there is a gilded statue of Zhuge Liang, wearing a nylon scarf and holding a feather fan. According to legend, the three bronze drums in front of him were made by Zhuge Liang when he led the army south, and they were called "Zhuge Drum".

There are exquisite patterns on the drums, which are precious historical relics.

You can walk west from Zhuge Liang Temple to Liu Bei's tomb, which was called "Hui Ling" in history.

Hui Ling: In 223 AD, after Liu Bei failed to attack Wu, he retreated to Baidicheng and died in Yong 'an Palace in April. In May, Zhuge Liang helped the coffin back to Chengdu and was buried in August. It was called "Hui Ling" in history. Hui Ling has no record of theft in history books more than 1780 years ago.

Huiling Mausoleum consists of zhaobi, Shanmen, Shinto, bedroom and mausoleum.

Hui Ling's enclosure is circular in height 12m and perimeter 180m.

There is a wall around the tomb. The existing brick wall was built in the fifth year of Daoguang in Qing Dynasty (AD 1825), with the words "Tomb of Han Zhaolie" on it.

According to historical records, Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Wu, the two queens of Liu Bei who died successively, were buried in this mausoleum, which is a joint tomb.

Queen Gan, her mother died first and was buried in Nanjun. After Liu Bei proclaimed herself emperor, she was moved and buried in Shu.

On the way to the burial, Liu Bei fell ill.

Zhuge Liang invited Liu Chan for this purpose, thinking that Mrs. Gan should be buried in Hui Ling with Liu Bei, let Liu Chan play, and bury Liu Bei in Hui Ling.

Twenty-two years later, Empress Wu died and was buried in.

Western District: Former Southern Suburb Park.

June 5438+February 2003, in order to strengthen and expand the culture of the Three Kingdoms, it was merged into the west area of Wuhou Temple.

Nanjiao Park originally belonged to Liu Xiang Cemetery, an anti-Japanese general. This complex is a traditional official building in China and the only northern cemetery complex in southwest China.

Jinli: an ancient street built by Wuhou Temple Museum with architectural style in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

Relying on Wuhou Temple, it expands the extension of the culture of the Three Kingdoms, integrates with the folk customs of western Sichuan, integrates eating, living, traveling, shopping and entertainment, and becomes a new highlight of cultural tourism in Chengdu.

The extension of Jinli-waterfront Jinli will also be completed by the end of 2008, and the street will be opened to welcome guests before the Spring Festival in 2009. Waterfront Jinli boldly introduces water into Jinli circulation, forming a new landscape of waterfront Jinli.
