The Chengdu Wuhou Shrine was constructed as a temple to commemorate Liu Bei,his chancellor Zhuge Liang and other outstanding Shu Han fi gures. It originates from 221 when Liu Bei's Hui Tomb was being built. Around 500 AD, Wuhou Shrine relocated from Chengdu “Shaocheng” to Hui Tomb and Han Zhaolie Temple.
In 1390, the Prince Shuxian of Ming proceeded to the temple to pay homage. He decided to unify Hui Tomb, Hanzhaolie Temple and Wuhou Shrine into one shrine. Since the magnificence of Zhuge Liang overshadows that of Liu Bei in the hearts of many common folks, thus in general, the complex is referred to as “Wuhou Shrine”. Toward the end of the Ming Dynasty, Wuhou Shrine was destroyed in the war, then reconstructed in 1671. Wuhou Shrine is China's only shrine where lord and ministers are enshrined together and the world's most infl uential Three Kingdoms relics museum.
The Chengdu Wuhou Shrine is situated in the south of Chengdu city and faces south. It's adjacent to the Emperor Liubei's Tomb as well as his temple.
Wuhou Shrine consists of the following scenic spots:Hanzhaolie Temple, Liu Bei's Hall, Zhuge Liang's Hall, and the Emperor Liu Bei's Tomb.
Wuhou Shrine originated from 221 when Liu Bei's Hui Tomb was being built. Around 500 AD, during the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Wuhou Shrine relocated from Chengdu “Shaocheng” to Hui Tomb and Han Zhaolie Temple, which was a move that lasted up to the Ming Dynasty.In 1390, the Prince Shuxian of Ming proceeded to the temple to pay homage. He merged Hui Tomb, Hanzhaolie Temple and Wuhou Shrine into one shrine. Towards the end of the Ming Dynasty, the shrine was destroyed during the war chaos. The present constructions date from the Qing Dynasty in 1671.
Wuhou Shrine became a national cultural relic protection unit in 1961 and a museum in 1984. It is not only the most infl uential museum dedicated to the study of the Three Kingdoms culture, but also China's only shrine where lord and ministers are enshrined together.
Inside Zhuge Liang's Hall, horizontal inscribed boards and couplets which carry words of praise for Zhuge Liang are fi lling up the walls. You can 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 want to fi ght since ancient times. Try not to forget conditions and situations,otherwise, leniency and strict punishment will all fall.
There is a story about this couplet. Zhuge Liang served as the general commander of the Kingdom of Shu, he was scheduled to attack the Kingdom of Wei in North China.However, he was worried that the troops of the ethnic groups might take this opportunity to harass the Shu Kingdom. So he went to those areas with his troops and hoped to establish a good relationship with the ethnic groups. At that time, Meng Huo was the top leader of the ethnic groups. He didn't accept Zhuge Liang's kindness and sent his soldiers to fi ght against the troops from the Shu. Zhuge Liang successfully defeated Meng's attack and caught him. Instead of punishing Meng Huo, Zhuge Liang set him free. Then Meng Huo launched another attack. However,he met with the same defeat, and Zhuge Liang set him free again. On the seventh time when Meng Huo was caught, Meng prostrated himself before Zhuge Liang, saying that he and his soldiers had given up on attacking, and he would like sincerely to have a good relationship with the Shu. From then on, the ethnic groups and people of the Shu lived in peace.
From this story, we can know that as a military official,Zhuge Liang was able to convince his opponents with his wisdom and defeat his rivals by psychological tactics.
Wuhou Shrine is the most venerated memorial of Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei and other important Shu Han individuals, and the world's most influential Three Kingdoms relics museum. The average annual number of visitors received at the Wuhou Shrine reaches approximately ten million person-times.
There are two kinds of statements for Tablets of Three Consummations. One refers to the superb wisdom of Zhuge Liang, the essay of Pei Du and the calligraphy of Liu Congchuo; he other refers to the superb essay of Pei Du, the calligraphy of Liu Gongchuo and the carving of Lu Jian.
