According to statistics, there are still 9 Wuhou Ancestral Halls commemorating Zhuge Liang, and the oldest wuhou ancestral hall in Hanzhong Mian County, Shaanxi Province, was built in the spring of the sixth year of Shu Han Jingyao (263), which was specially built by Liu Chan, the lord of Shu Hou, to sacrifice Zhuge Liang. Zhuge Liang's cemetery was at the foot of Dingjun Mountain, and at that time, because "the capital division was built, and the zong temple was forced", the site was selected to build an ancestral hall here. The Wuhou Ancestral Hall of Mianxian County, a national key cultural relics protection unit, was built about 40 years earlier than the Wuhou Ancestral Hall in Chengdu, and can be called the first Wuhou Ancestral Hall in the world, and Yu Youren once inscribed "the first Wuhou Ancestral Hall in the World" for this purpose.
According to the "Chronicle of the Three Kingdoms, Shushu, and Biography of Zhuge Liang", Zhuge Liang had been stationed in Hanzhong Mian County for a long time before his death, and before his death, he was ordered to "bury the Dingjun Mountain in Hanzhong", where there was a tomb of Marquis Wu. In order to protect Dingjun Mountain, the common people did not cut down trees within a radius of ten miles, and Zhao Xun, the prefect of Hanzhong in Qingjiaqing, vividly expressed the people's emotions: "The sound of water and the sound of the swallowing waves, the tears of the heroes of the Tianhan River; the mountains have no trees, and the grass and trees of the Dingjun army in ten miles are fragrant." "Wuhou Ancestral Hall and Wuhou Tomb were originally adjacent, and during the Ming Dynasty, in order to facilitate the sacrifice of the people in Jiangbei, the Wuhou Ancestral Hall was relocated from the foot of Dingjun Mountain to the west of Mian County— it is said that the current site is zhuge Liang's former site of "Xingyuan Xiangfu", which echoes the Tomb of Wuhou across the Han River.
Covering an area of more than 80 acres, Wuhou Ancestral Hall has a history of more than 1,700 years, integrating ancient architecture, gardens, literature, calligraphy and painting, carving, and painting, and is a thousand-year-old ancestral hall representing the traditional architectural style of southern Shaanxi. The ancestral hall is rich in cultural relics, plaques are linked to layers, there are many stele stones, there are many ancient trees and famous trees, as well as a stone sheep in the Han Dynasty and a tang dynasty inscription, each of which has an endless story. Among them, the inscriptions, plaques, dry lotuses, stone organs, and coopers are particularly fascinating.
Figure 1 Tang Stele "Monument to the New Temple of Zhuge Zhongwu Marquis of Shu Cheng Xiang"
There is a Tang Dynasty inscription in the Wuhou Ancestral Hall, named "Shu Cheng Xiang Zhuge Zhongwu Hou New Temple Stele" (Figure 1), which was identified by the State Council as "the first batch of calligraphy art monuments in China" in 1979. This stele was erected in the first month of the eleventh year of Tang Zhenyuan (795), written by Shen Yuan, and the Yuan Xishu. Yuan Xi had a book title in the Tang Dynasty, from this stele, Yuan Xi's handwriting is beautiful and neat, influenced by the European body, and is one of the more excellent calligraphers in the Middle and Tang Dynasties. The stele is 237 cm high, excluding the stele, 162 cm high, 103 cm wide and 29 cm thick. The inscription is written in 23 lines, with 37 characters in full line. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, this stele was destroyed by a storm and fell to the stele, and by the time of the restoration of the sixth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1340), it was equipped with another stele and inscribed. The stele also has an inscription of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty and a poem inscribed by Ming Jiajing. The inscription records the repair of the Wuhou Ancestral Hall (then known as the New Temple) and the erection of the monument during the first year of Tang Zhen, which roughly means that the national strength was strong at that time, and the Wuhou Ancestral Hall was shaky, "the ancestral hall was structured", "the ancestors of the non-So-style ancestors worshiped the ceremony", so they conscripted disciples, built temples, set up idols, "with high yuan, increased with Junyu", and made an inscription to praise the merits of Zhuge Liang. On the left edge of the stele there is an inscription: "On the seventh day of May in the eleventh year of Jiajing (1532), Song Zhi Zhang Kun passed the gurudwara." "Zhang Kun's inscription was added during the Ming Jiajing period and has nothing to do with the main text of the stele. Zhang Kun (張鲲), courtesy name Song Shao, was a native of Mingjun Prefecture (明钧州, in present-day Yuzhou, Henan), who was mainly active during the zhengde and jiajing dynasties, and wrote the Song Shao Man Manuscript.

In addition to this Tang stele, there are several Ming Dynasty inscriptions, all of which are records of the repair of the ancestral hall at that time. The number of inscriptions from the Qing Dynasty (Figure 2), the Republic of China to the modern era is even greater. On the east side of the dedication hall, there is a small stele forest (Picture 3) named "Mo Lin", which is specially designed to display the inscriptions of the past dynasties, wandering through them, making people linger.
Figure 4 "One Man of the Great Han" and "Dai Yang Qinggao" plaque
Figure 5 "Jing Zhongzhide" and "Mellow Weather" plaque
Figure 6 "Mountains and rivers are long", "Wizards of the World", "Its Dragon Hu" and "Mo Da Tian" plaque
There are many plaques and plaques left over from the past, such as: The Great Han Dynasty, Dai Yang Qinggao (Figure 4), Jing Zhongde, Mellow Confucianism (Figure 5), Mountains and Rivers, Wizards of the World, His Dragon Hu, and Mo Da Yu Tian (Figure 6), which praised Zhuge Liang's virtue, merit, and wisdom from different aspects. Yang Lian , "This place has always been close to the Great Han, and He Nian will be similar to Mr." pointed out that Hanzhong was closely related to the origin of the Han Dynasty and the rise and fall of the Shu Han Dynasty, and pinned on the expectations of the people for Zhuge Liang-style officials. "Northern Wei shaded the Qin Mountains, shu feng played the master's table; Nanyang blocked Xiangshui, Han Bai chang booed Liang Father Yin" a combination, summed up Zhuge Liang's life.
There is a dry lotus in the Wuhou Ancestral Hall, which has a history of more than 400 years, with a height of 13.4 meters and a chest circumference of 1.36 meters. Because its flowers resemble lotus flowers and are born in dryland, it has the reputation of "dryland lotus". It blooms in early March and blooms in half a month. Its tree begins to grow new buds in May, and the buds are gested on the tree for more than 10 months, experiencing summer, autumn and winter, and blooming again in March of the following year, commonly known as "October pregnancy". After the summer solstice, the flowers and trees bear seeds, and the seeds are like red beans, and the blue light is hard. Because the flowers are in the spring, people call this tree "Spring Tree", if the solar calendar, just around Women's Day, so in recent years it is also called "Women's Flower". In the old days, the locals believed that this flower symbolized pregnancy, so many people worshiped the tree or collected flowers and seeds for heirs. Today, the descendants of this dry lotus have taken root everywhere in Hanzhong and can be seen everywhere, and the dry lotus was designated as the city flower by the Hanzhong municipal government in 2000.
According to reports, there are 54 gubai trees in the Wuhou Cemetery, symbolizing Zhuge Liang's birthday, and there are 64 gubai trees in the Wuhou Ancestral Hall, which resemble the shape of Bagua. Today, there are still 16 ancient cypress trees in the Wuhou Ancestral Hall, and the trees are thick for two people to hug. According to the measurement, this batch of coopers are 1700 years old, which is consistent with the data records. In the hearts of the people, this Gubai has long become the embodiment of Zhuge Liang.

There is also a "Qin Lou" (Figure 7) in the Wuhou Ancestral Hall, which contains a stone carved guqin of the Jin Dynasty. The building of the Qinlou is built by the shape of the ancient Yangping Guancheng Gate Tower. Whenever I climb this building and stroke the guqin in my hand, it seems that Zhuge Liang's figure of the empty city plan appears in front of me, and a Peking Opera singing voice seems to ring in the ears:
I was looking at the mountain from the castle tower, and I could hear the chaos outside the city.
The flag was flaunted, but it turned out to be a soldier sent by Sima ...
Zhuge Liang's loyalty, honesty, diligence and wisdom, as part of China's excellent traditional culture, still shine brightly and are worthy of our study and admiration. In history, Zhuge Liang also once became a model of Confucianism and a Taoist deity, and successive emperors were sealed layer by layer, and the sacrifices of later generations lasted for thousands of years. Loving the house and Wu, this Wuhou Ancestral Hall has been continuously repaired and protected. In recent years, The ancestral hall has built Zhuge Ancient Town, which is widely known as pavilions and ponds. Every year around the time of the Qingming Dynasty, tourists rub shoulders and bustle. If the gentleman knows, when he sees this prosperous scene, he should also smile at the Nine Springs.
