Wuzhangyuan Zhuge Liang Temple is located on Wuzhangyuan Taimao, about 20 kilometers south of Qishan County, Baoji City. It faces north and faces the Weihe River, which symbolizes that Zhuge Liang yearned for the Northern Expedition and the pursuit of national unity all his life. The gate of the temple is gorgeous and magnificent. There is a vertical plaque above the gate, which reads "Zhuge Liang Temple in Wuzhangyuan".
According to "Qishan County Chronicles", the Zhuge Liang Temple was first built in the early Yuan Dynasty, and it was repeatedly added in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Most of the existing buildings were built in the Qing Dynasty, including the temple gate, side rooms, hatchbacks, Xiandian, Bell Tower, Drum Tower, main hall, and left and right Duo halls. Standing on the east and west sides of the foyer are Wei Yan and Ma Dai, generals of the Kingdom of Shu. There is a horizontal flat above the gate of the Hall of Dedication, and the book reads "Five Zhang Autumn Wind". In the hall, there is an exhibition of stone carvings of Zhuge Liang's appearance as a teacher, and there are stone carvings of Zhuge Liang's life commentary by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. There is a gossip pavilion between the Xiandian and the main hall, which shows Zhuge Liang studying the gossip and arranging troops according to the gossip.
On the top of the main hall is the inscription "Eternal Wisdom". Inside the hall there is a statue of Zhuge Liang, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, quiet and serene. In front of the statue stand the four generals of the Shu Kingdom. On the east side are Guan Xing and Wang Ping, and on the west side are Zhang Bao and Liao Hua. On the southwest side of the main hall is Zhuge Liang's tomb. On the south side of the main hall, there is a meteorite pavilion, in which stands a meteorite, which was discovered near Wuzhangyuan. It is said that before Zhuge Liang's death, a meteorite fell on the south side of Wuzhangyuan, which probably means "falling stars".
On the back wall of the main courtyard, there is a general gallery with statues of generals from the late Shu Kingdom. There are three wonders in the main courtyard: first, there is a hundred-year-old Chinese locust tree in front of the dedication hall, which looks like the word "righteousness"; second, the purlin above the dedication hall is a five-foot-long log; The patterns are very special, the one on the east side looks like a phoenix, and the one on the west side looks like a long dragon.
The east courtyard is the Yueying Hall built for Huang Yueying, Zhuge Liang's married wife. There is a seated statue of Yueying, standing statues of Zhuge Liang's and Yueying's two sons in front of the statue, as well as a Eight Diagrams array and a calligraphy exhibition room. The west courtyard is an exhibition room and the residence of the staff. The exhibition room exhibits Zhuge Liang's life.
