Wuhou Temple

introduce

Chengdu Wuhou Temple is where the temples commemorate Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang and other Shu Han heroes. It started when Liu Bei Hui Mausoleum was built in the first year (221) of Emperor Zhaolie Emperor Zhangwu of the Shu Han Dynasty. The Han Zhaolie Temple was also built while Hui Mausoleum was being built.

Around 500 A.D. during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Wuhou Temple was relocated from the "Shaocheng" of Chengdu to build next to Huiling and Zhaolie Temple of Han Dynasty. This pattern lasted until the Ming Dynasty. In the 23rd year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1390), Zhu Chun, king of Shu in the Ming Dynasty, went to worship at Wuhou Temple. He integrated Huiling, Han Zhaolie Temple, and Wuhou Temple on the grounds that "the emperor and his ministers should be one body", because Zhuge Liang was in the hearts of ordinary people. The influence in the temple exceeds that of Liu Bei, and the folk custom is called "Wuhou Temple".
