Wuhou

Temple

was

built

at

the

end

of

the

Western

Jin

Dynasty.

Between

the

Tang

and

Song

Dynasties,

Zhuge

Liang

and

the

Emperor

Liu

Bei

had

their

independent

temples. At the beginning of Ming Dynasty, the two separate

temples

merged

into

one.

Towards

the

end

of

the

Ming

Dynasty, the merged temple was destroyed during war chaos.

The

present

constructions

date

from

the

Qing

Dynasty

in

1672.

Wuhou Temple became a national cultural relic protection

unit in 1961 and a museum in 1984. It is not only the most

influential

museum

dedicated

to

the

study

of

the

Three

Kingdoms culture, but also the only memorial shrine where

the

temple

of

a

monarch

and

a

temple

of

his

subject

are

merged into one.

Du

Fu,

a

famous

poet

in

the

Tang

Dynasty

once

mentioned it in his poetry:

“

Where would I find the Prime

Minister

’

s shrine? Somewhere outside brocade city, in dense

cypress

trees.

”

Here

“

the

Prime

Minister

’

s

shrine

”

is

what

we called Wuhou Temple nowadays. The remarks of Du Fu

enable us to know where Wuhou Temple was located.

Well,

ladies

and

gentlemen,

may

I

have

you

attention,

please? After we visit the LiuBei's Hall, here we are at the

entrance of Zhuge Liang

’

s Hall. As you can see, inside the

hall,

horizontal

inscribed

boards

and

couplets

which

carry

words

of

praise

for

Zhuge

Liang

are

filling

up

the

walls. .

Please look at the couplet hanging in front of you .It is the

famous

couplet

written

by

Zhao

Pan

in

1902.

Literally

it

means

that:Try

to

persuade

an

enemy

to

stop

his

attack

during the war, and the war will then disappear. No soldiers
