Where can I find Zhuge Liang ancestral temple in Wuhou? In the dense cypress forest on the outskirts of Chengdu.
The green grass is reflected on the steps, showing the spring scenery, and the orioles on the trees sing through the branches.
It is believed that the ancestors of the world visited the cottage three times, assisted the founding of the two dynasties, and worked faithfully.
It's a pity that Wei died in the army before he started attacking Wei, which often made heroes of all ages burst into tears!

Because the people he worships can't see it anymore. Empty: white.
