Wuzhang Plains is famous for Zhuge Liang: Wuzhang Plains Zhuge Liang Temple

During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang stationed troops in Wuzhang Plains for his six expeditions to Qishan, confronted Sima Yi, but died of overwork in Wuzhang Plains. In order to commemorate Zhuge Liang, later generations built a robe mound for him, established a temple, which has been more than 1700 years now. The current Zhuge Liang Temple was built in the early Yuan Dynasty (1246 AD), it should be expanded and rebuilt on the original basis, because the historical records recorded by the central inspectorate official Guo Sijing of the Yuan Dynasty wrote: 'The temple has been since Han Dynasty', the two disputes today are nothing, the temple has been there for more than a thousand years, and it has been renovated later, which is not contradictory. Pay attention when visiting Zhuge Liang Temple, it is not like most temples facing north, but it is built on the north side of the platform, facing south to north, facing the Wei River, symbolizing that Zhuge Liang has been longing for the Northern Expedition all his life, pursuing national unity, and the same is true for the bell tower and drum tower in the courtyard. The Zhuge Liang Temple has a main hall, inscribed with 'Brilliant for all ages'; Yueying Hall (worship Zhuge Liang's wife); General Corridor; Robe Mound... The plaques, inscriptions, carvings, murals, statues in the temple... all show the admiration of later generations for Zhuge Liang.
