How did Pang Tong die?

Pang Tong was shot to death by random arrows from Liu Zhang's troops.

In the 19th year of Jian'an (214), Liu Bei mobilized Zhuge Liang, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun and others to lead troops to conquer Baidi, Jiangzhou and Jiangyang. Soon, Liu Bei surrounded Luocheng (now the Guanghan area of ​​Deyang). Pang Tong led his troops to attack the city, but was shot by a flying arrow and died. He was thirty-six years old. Liu Bei felt very sorry for him and shed tears whenever he mentioned Pang Tong. In recognition of his meritorious service, his father was appointed Yilang and later promoted to the post of Admonishment Officer. Liu Bei posthumously granted Pang Tong the title of Marquis of Guannei and his posthumous title of Marquis of Jing.

After Pang Tong died, he was buried in Luofengpo. The cemetery was only lightly maintained. It is said that this was the cemetery chosen by Liu Bei himself. But looking to the north of the house and to the south, it is a geomantic treasure land with a tombstone.

Dragon and Phoenix Temple

The tomb of Pang Tong Temple is also known as Dragon and Phoenix Temple. On the side of Baima Pass, Luojiang County, Deyang City, Sichuan. The Pang Tong Temple Tomb was built by Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of the Shu Han Dynasty, after the death of Zhongliu Shi in the 19th year of Jian'an (AD 214). In the early Qing Dynasty, Wang Ping Fan rebelled against Shu, and the tombs and temples were destroyed. It was restored in the 30th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1691). The main gate, main hall, pavilions on both sides, Qifeng Hall, and Pang Tong's tomb outside the temple now exist.

There are thousands of pines and cypresses surrounding the temple and tomb, which are lush and picturesque. There are two large cypress trees in the courtyard of the temple, which are said to have been planted by Zhang Fei. The main entrance and the side entrance are both engraved with couplets and plaques: "Knowing that Luofeng was the late emperor, I was willing to let Wolong become an old minister." On the stone wall behind the main hall is engraved the biography of Pang Jinghou written by Chen Shou of the Jin Dynasty. The two horse pavilions are built on two sides, one is the white horse pavilion and the other is the rouge pavilion. The two pavilions symbolize the exchange of horses between Liu Bei and Pang Tong.
