　　Wuhou Temple is a memorial hall for Zhuge Liang, the Prime Minister of ShuHan in the Three Kingdoms. Zhuge Liang was granted the title of Marquis ofWuxiang before he died. After he died, he was named as Marquis of Wuxiang.

　　Wuhou Temple in Chengdu is the only temple in China where monarchs andministers are worshipped together. It was built in 223 AD and Liu Bei was buriedin Huiling. According to the Han system, there must be a temple beside themausoleum, so after Liu Bei was buried in Huiling, the original temple for LiuBei was built by the Shu Han Dynasty at that time. (the original temple is thetemple for worshiping the emperor beside the mausoleum of the emperor. In Tangand Song Dynasties, people generally called Liu Bei's original temple the formermaster temple. )(because there are three main buildings in Chengdu Wuhou Temple,two of which have appeared after Liu Bei's death, so Liu Bei's burial in Huilingis the beginning of Chengdu Wuhou Temple. )In the northern and SouthernDynasties, people built Wuhou Temple not far from Huiling and Xianzhu temple. Inthe Tang and Song Dynasties, Wuhou Temple had become a famous historic site andtourist attraction. Du Fu left a description of "where to find the ancestralhall of prime minister, where to find the cypress outside Jinguan city". In theMing Dynasty, Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, thought that "the monarch and theminister should be integrated", so he combined the Wuhou Temple with the formermaster's temple, which was called "Han zhaolie Temple". In the late Ming Dynastyand the early Qing Dynasty, the temple was destroyed by war. The Wuhou Temple wesee today was rebuilt on the old site in the 11th year of Kangxi (1672A.D.).

　　Although the government has always called it the "Han zhaolie Temple", aplaque of "Han zhaolie Temple" is also hung at the gate. But people are stillused to call it Wuhou Temple. Why? In a poem written by Zou Lu during the periodof the Republic of China, the reason is explained: "the great book on the gate,zhaolie temple, is the temple of marquis Wu. The reason is that the primeminister has made great achievements in the past. In other words, because of hisgreat historical achievements, Zhuge Liang has more prestige in the hearts ofthe people than Liu Bei, so people can't care about the etiquette of the monarchand his ministers.

　　From the brief introduction to the left side of the gate and the schematicplan, we can see that the temple of marquis Wu is hidden in the dense greencypresses. The hall sits in the north and south, and is arranged on a centralaxis. It has five layers: the gate, the second gate, the hall of Liu Bei, thehall of passage, and the hall of Zhuge Liang. On the west side is the mausoleumof Liu Bei Huiling. There are 47 clay statues of historical figures of Shu Hanin Qing Dynasty, more than 50 steles, more than 60 plaques and couplets, andmore than 10 tripods, stoves, bells and drums. Therefore, to be exact, WuhouTemple should be called the memorial hall of Shu Han monarchs and ministers. Itis a museum for the study of Shu Han history.
