The Sichuan people made great contributions to the War of Resistance Against Japan and were the province with the largest number of troops sent in the history of the War of Resistance Against Japan. This province has become famous for this. During peaceful times, tourists from all over China were continuously absorbed to visit Sichuan to see historical monuments.
Among them, the Wuhou Temple in Chengdu, Sichuan is the most famous. No matter north, west, west, east, west, young, women and children, they all know which big figure was buried in the Wuhou Temple in Chengdu, but the source of history is not like this. The Wuhou Temple in that year was not specially set up for Zhuge Liang , but it is actually another person.
Development history of Wuhou Temple
Chengdu Wuhou Temple has now become a shining historical business card in Chengdu, Sichuan. All Chinese political, commercial and cultural tycoons from all walks of life will go to see the characters in the Wuhou Temple when they come to Chengdu. But the original name of Wuhou Temple, which is rarely known to everyone, is not called Wuhou Temple at all. Even from the perspective of historical development, now does not exist in Chengdu Wuhou Temple at all. Careful people will also find that Chengdu Wuhou Temple is a common name for the people. Although it is a consensus among all sectors of China, when you walk in, you will find that the four big words "Han Zhao Lie Temple" are written on the plaque at the gate of Wuhou Temple. So what is going on?
Han Zhaolie Temple, you can know from the name that this is the imperial temple of Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty. Looking at the four hundred years of history of Western Han and Eastern Han , there seems to be no emperor Han Zhaolie . Only after the demise of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a man called Emperor Zhaolie of Han after his death. His name was Liu Bei , so the Wuhou Temple was originally named Liu Bei, which should be the place where Liu Bei was worshipped in all dynasties in China. So why did it become the Wuhou Temple in modern historical society, which seemed to be specially set up for Zhuge Liang?
In fact, from the perspective of people's hearts, the people of Chengdu at that time seemed unwilling to worship Liu Bei, the , Han Zhaolie, , and the only thing that everyone thought about was Prime Minister Zhuge. Although Prime Minister Zhuge has been dead for more than a thousand years, now he can find someone in the streets and alleys of Chengdu to ask about Zhuge Liang's life story. He can tell you the story like a storyteller. This situation was not caused by the strong praise of Zhuge Liang in modern society, but the public psychology that has begun in ancient times.
According to local history of Chengdu, Sichuan, there was indeed a Wuhou Temple specially used to worship Zhuge Liang during the Ming Dynasty. The Wuhou Temple is located opposite the Wuhou Temple in Chengdu today. The famous Chengdu Wuhou Temple at home and abroad is still called the "Han Zhaolie Temple" during the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang After pacifying the world, he enthroned the kings, one of whom was named King of Shu. After he came to Chengdu, he found that the incense outside the Wuhou Temple of Zhuge Liang was in full swing, while the Liu Bei Han Zhaolie Temple opposite was miserable and deserted. As a descendant of the royal family, he could never see the orthodox Han orthodox Liu Bei Han Zhaolie Temple received such treatment. Therefore, he ordered the merger of the Wuhou Temple and the Liu Bei Han Zhaolie Temple to be renamed as the Han Zhaolie Temple. From then on, this temple became the only temple in China that "monarch and ministers sacrificed together". Although the Shu King was merged and renamed it to the Han Zhaolie Temple, the people from all over Chengdu and Sichuan still called him the Wuhou Temple.
Chinese people's worship of loyalty and righteousness
Sichuan and people all over China have a scale in their hearts. They know who is good for themselves and for their own good people, they will make him prosperous after his death, and future generations will never forget him. Those cruel people, selfish and selfish people, will definitely be infamous for thousands of years after their death. If you don't believe it, please see the comparison between Zhuge Liang and Cao Cao . Cao Cao dominated the north back then, but the people of Wei were in trouble, which was completely incomparable to Yizhou under Zhuge Liang's rule. So on the current northern land of China, can you see a temple that can be compared with Zhuge Liang's Wuhou Temple in Chengdu?
Zhuge Liang has actually become a spiritual force in the hearts of the people of Chengdu. The temperament behind this spiritual force has deeply influenced the Sichuan people from generation to generation. When Zhuge Liang governed Shu Han, he relied on a state to fight against the powerful Wei Kingdom. History is actually memorable. This spiritual temperament has been passed down to the Anti-Japanese War period. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the people of Sichuan were in poverty and miserable, but they also sent their husbands and sons one by one to support the War of Resistance Against Japan in this difficult environment. This led to the fact that China later defeated Japan by "weak defeating the strong".
Zhuge Liang is not only the embodiment of wisdom, but also the embodiment of loyalty and righteousness. He fights against the entire northern part of a corner Cao Wei behind him is the unyielding spirit, a kind of temperament inherited from Liu Bei. And Zhuge Liang, who still insisted on the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty after Liu Bei Guan Yu Zhang Fei's death, insisted on loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness, is really rare in the troubled times of China and the Three Kingdoms. Isn't one of the core spirits of Chinese traditional culture the "gentle, kind, respect, frugality and kindness" in Zhuge Liang? In addition, not only Sichuan, but also the entire Chinese people worship Zhuge Liang and Guan Yu more than Liu Bei. Why is this?
worship Zhuge Liang because what Zhuge Liang did was too great, because the spiritual temperament of Zhuge Liang was too advanced, so that it could become an eternal spirit. worshipping Guan Yu is the same as Zhuge Liang. When Guan Yu passed five passes and killed six generals, he was loyal to Liu Bei. After defeating Jingzhou refused to surrender and loyal to the Han Dynasty country was a perseverance to the country. In the era when traitors were everywhere and surrender became a trend, Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang's loyalty spirit had become a tremendous sound. Therefore, after the revival of China in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the people would respect this spirit more. It is not unusual to have this spirit when the country was strong in prosperous times. What is rare is to adhere to the faith in loyalty and righteousness in troubled times and invisible times, and take it as his lifelong principle of dealing with people. Guan Yu and Zhuge Liang, who have been sticking to this practice for life, are the fundamental reasons why future generations respect it extremely.
Conclusion
Sichuan people has now formed a spirit of resolute treatment. From their history, it can be seen that their people despise the emperor. No matter how high your position and you are, how much you have done for the people of the country is the only standard for evaluating their historical status. Therefore, the Zhuge Wuhou , which has devoted itself to the people until they die, has become a great success in Chengdu, Sichuan, and other historical powerful ministers with high and small officials are unlikely to receive such treatment.
In general, although Liu Bei, Zhuge Liang, and even the latter Jiang Wan, , Fei Yi, Jiang Wei, and others did not fulfill the ideal of reviving the Han Dynasty for the second time, this small Shu Han occupies an important position in Chinese culture. It contributed a lifelong attention to striving for ideals to future generations. This is a dreamy temperament and a spirit full of vitality.
