Where does the history book say Zhuge Liang's tomb is?
The most peculiar thing about Wuhou tomb is two tall osmanthus trees beside Wuhou tomb, which is called "double osmanthus trees to protect the tomb" in history. They are located in front of the tomb, just like two guards guarding Zhuge Liang's tomb. This tree is 19 m high and 1 m in diameter. It was planted in the Three Kingdoms period.
Tourist routes-
On the edge of Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway, 4 kilometers west of Mianxian County, it is separated from Wuhou Tomb by the Hanshui River (ancient Mian (Nian Mian San Yin)), which is self-contained and has its own characteristics. In 236 AD, that is, the 29th year after Zhuge Liang's death, Liu Chan went to the library to establish a shrine. At that time, because of "building the capital and forcing the ancestral hall", the temple site was chosen at Wuhouping at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, which is very close to the tomb. This is the only temple built by the emperor and allocated to Liang Yin, so it is called "the first temple of marquis of Wu in the world". Other Wuhou temples include Gulongzhong in Xiangfan, Hubei, Wuhou Temple in Wolonggang, Nanyang, Henan, Wuhou Temple in Chengdu, Wuhou Temple in Baidicheng, Fengjie, Sichuan, Wuhou Temple in Baoshan, Yunnan, Wuhou Temple in Qishan, Gansu and Zhuge Liang Temple in Zhang Wu, Shaanxi.
Wuhou Temple sits south to north, covering an area of about 2 hectares. It is connected with Guyang Guanping, Zhuge Yuetai and Lotus Pond in the west, and connected with Ma Chao Tomb Temple and Liu Bei Altar in the east.
The ancient building complex of Wuhou Temple runs in the north-south direction, and the terraces are arranged neatly. The central axis runs through five entrances, three of which are connected in parallel, forming 18 courtyards. Enter the mountain gate from the north, followed by Lelou, Dongyuanmen, Xiyuanmen, Pailou, Qin Lou, Bell Tower, Drum Tower and Jiymen.
Enter the halberd gate, cross the east and west wing rooms, and you will see the worship hall. The three rooms in the hall are roll-shed buildings, including a cast iron incense burner built in Qin Long in the Ming Dynasty, which weighs more than a thousand kilograms and is hung with precious plaques such as "One Man".
On both sides of the main hall, under the gables and eaves, there are many stone tablets engraved with poems and songs of literati and military and political celebrities of past dynasties. There is a couplet inscribed by Mr. Yu Youren on the back cornice post: "The universe is famous and the portrait is cool."
The statue of Zhuge Liang sits on the shrine in the middle of the hall, which is very kind and wise. He holds six military books in his left hand and his right hand caresses his knees. Qin Tong extremely stood beside him, holding a sword and a sealed belt. Under the niche, Guan Xing and Zhang Bao are on the side. On the gold plaque on the blue background above the shrine, the four characters "Zhongyun" are written in regular script. In the eighth year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1803), the emperor entered the palace with imperial books, sent them to Mianxian County, and the emperors of the Lang Dynasty, such as the Imperial Ministry, hung plaques. On both sides of the city gate, there are two roads: "If the Central Plains is undecided, why does this soul wish to return to its native land?" I will cherish West Shu forever, and I will be buried in the army. "This couplet expresses Zhuge Liang's regret at his deathbed.
Since Wei and Jin Dynasties, celebrities in Wuhou Temple have left a lot of ink. Li Shangyin in the Tang Dynasty, Lu You in the Song Dynasty, Xue Xuan in the Ming Dynasty and Wang Shizhen in the Qing Dynasty all came here to inscribe poems. At present, there are more than 60 stone tablets, more than 30 plaques and more than 20 tablets. Among many stone tablets, the first one inscribed by Shen Jiong in the 11th year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (AD 795) is the most precious.
