"Poet saint" Du Fu wrote in "The Prime Minister of Shu": "Where can I find the Prime Minister's Shrine? Outside the city of Jinguan, there are dense forests of cypress trees.". If you happen to be interested in the culture of the Three Kingdoms, then the Wuhou Temple located in Chengdu, the capital of Sichuan Province, must be visited. It enjoys the reputation of being a "holy land of the Three Kingdoms" and is the only existing temple in China that combines monarchs and officials. Here you can learn about the true stories of the influential figures of the Shu Han era: Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei, and the heroes of Shu Han throughout their lives.
For thousands of years, social elites and literati have sung history in front of temples and among ancient cypresses to express their admiration for Marquis Wu. They wrote poems and left behind ink treasures, making the inscriptions a major cultural feature of the Wuhou Temple. It is reported that there are nearly 50 existing steles in Wuhou Temple, which were engraved in the Tang, Ming, Qing and modern times respectively. Among them, the Tang stele is the most representative and has historical and cultural value, and was rated as "first-class cultural relics" by the National Cutural Heritage Administration in the early 1990s.
