Tang Shuyu Temple: Tang Shuyu is the ancestor of the state of Jin in the Zhou Dynasty. He is the son of Ji Fa, King Wu of Zhou, and the same mother and younger brother as Ji Song, King Cheng of Zhou. The mother and queen are Yi Jiang (daughter of Jiang Ziya). After the death of King Wu of Zhou, King Cheng of Zhou succeeded to the throne at a young age, and Shuyu's uncle Zhou Gongdan was regent. After Zhou Gongdan destroyed the Tang Kingdom, he enfeoffed the land of Tang to Shuyu. After Tang Shuyu died, his son Xie succeeded to the throne. After Xie succeeded to the throne, he moved to the side of Jinshui and changed the name of the country to Jin.

The key to the success and longevity of Shuyu's rule of the Tang Dynasty lies in the implementation of the correct policy of "initiating Xia's government and bordering the army". A lot of history proves that this policy has become the traditional national policy of the Jin State, and has a great impact on the later Jin and Han and Zhao states. The politics, economy, and ideology and culture of the Three Kingdoms of Jin, Wei and Wei all had far-reaching influences, thus forming the characteristics of Shanggong, Shangfa, and Shangxian in the Sanjin cultural system. As the ancestor of the founding of the state of Jin and the founder of the Sanjin culture, his historical achievements are indelible.
