Longzhong Scenic Area is located in Xiangyang City, Hubei Province, a famous historical and cultural city in China, about 13 kilometers away from Xiangyang City, with a total area of 209 square kilometers. During the Jin Yongxing period, it has a history of more than 1,700 years. Including Gulongzhong, Shuijingzhuang, Cheng'en Temple, Qili Mountain, Hezi River and other five major scenic spots. Because Zhuge Liang "cultivated Longmu" Liu Bei", Liu Bei", triggered the "Longzhong Countermeasures" and was called the cradle of the wise and the source of the three worlds. Longzhong Scenic Area is the place where Zhuge Liang, an outstanding politician, military and thinker of the Three Kingdoms period, lived in seclusion in his youth (17-27 years old), and Zhuge Liang held his knees and cultivated Longmu for 10 years.
After Zhuge Liang left Longzhong, the bamboo hedge and grass hut where he lived were still preserved. In 208, the year after Zhuge Liang left Longzhong, Xiangyang was occupied by Cao Cao until the Western Jin Dynasty unified the country, and Xiangyang remained Cao Cao's territory. Therefore, during this period, the former residence of Zhuge Liang in Longzhong has not been overlooked, and after the Western Jin Dynasty unified the country, Sima Yan, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty, repeatedly asked his subordinates about Zhuge Liang's deeds.
During the Jin Dynasty, the Zhennan general Liu Hong went to Longzhong to hang Zhuge Zhuge at his former residence, and ordered Li Xing, who joined the army, to compose the "Tribute to Zhuge Xiangwen" to become the first monument in Longzhong to commemorate Zhuge Liang. According to the Southern Dynasty Sheng Hongzhi's "Jingzhou Chronicle", Zhuge Liang Caolu "has a well five meters deep and five feet wide, known as Ge Jing." There are three houses in front of the hall, the base site is extremely high, and the cloud is a summer shelter. The mountain facing the west of the house is near the water, Kong Ming chang dengzhi, and the drum is "Liang Father Yin", because of this name is Leshan. After Zhuge Liang left Longzhong, there was a family surnamed Dong who lived in Caolu, because "the family tree declined, and posterity did not dare to rest."
Five years after Dongsheng ping, the historian Xi Chisel came to Longzhong and wrote the "Former Residence Inscription of Zhuge Wuhou" At this time, Longzhong already had a memorial to Zhuge Wuhou Ancestral Hall.
During the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Sui Dynasty, the former residence of Zhuge Liang in Longzhong and the Wuhou Ancestral Hall were continuously repaired.
In the tenth year of Emperor Xuanzong's reign, Li Jingjian of Xiangzhou's Thorn ShishanNandongDao made Li Jingjian repair the Longzhong Ancestral Hall and erect the "Monument to Zhuge Gong of Marquis Zhongwu of Shu Cheng Xiangwu Township". The inscription is included in Volume 55 of the Tang Wenzhi.
The scale of Longzhong in the Song Dynasty was further expanded, and many celebrities such as Zeng Gong, Wang Anshi, su Shi and so on went to Longzhong to record their praises for Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang's deeds in Longzhong became a model for teenagers when they were studying at that time.
The Southern Song Dynasty was a disaster-stricken era, and the maintenance and management of Zhuge Liang's relics and memorial buildings in Longzhong were also strengthened accordingly. Zhuge Liang's slogan of "rejuvenating the Han Dynasty and returning to the old capital" and his spirit of struggle to carry out the Northern Expedition and be martyred on the front line were exactly the spirit of the times that the people needed at that time, and had great appeal to the vast number of soldiers and civilians who were persisting in the War of Resistance (the Jin Dynasty).
During the Yuan Dynasty to the Zheng Dynasty, Guangde Temple Academy moved to Longzhong and called Longzhong Academy.
In the second year of the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of Ming, Zhu Jianshu, the King of Xiangyang, destroyed Zhuge Caolu and moved away longzhong Academy, and the original inscriptions on civil buildings were greatly damaged. After Zhu Jianshu's death, his second son King Guanghua and The Left Governor of Xiangyang Province, Shi Linguang, invited Yu Chao to rebuild the Wuhou Ancestral Hall in the "left square gap" of Longzhong Mountain. During the Chenghua period, the "Ten Views of Longzhong" was formed, the Jiajing Nineteenth Year Caolu Monument was erected, and in the twenty years of the Wanli Calendar, the Zhongxian Grand Master Du cha yuan was rebuilt by Zuo Youdu Yushi Li Zhen, and the "Record of Reconstruction" Was engraved with a portrait of Zhuge Liang, which is the earliest surviving portrait of Zhuge Liang on the mainland.
After many repairs and expansions in the Qing Dynasty, people rebuilt the Wuhou Ancestral Temple on the basis of the destruction of the Fanling Tombs by the rebels at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and built the Caolu Pavilion on the original site of Caolu, and built a new "Gulongzhong" Archway.
