Wuzhangyuan Zhuge Liang Temple Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Wuzhang Plains Zhuge Liang Temple: How can any fan of the Three Kingdoms resist visiting?
Following the winding road up to Wuzhang Plains, one can gaze upon Qishan County from afar, and imagine that 1800 years ago, Zhuge Kongming might have looked towards Baoji with a similar perspective. Shaanxi, Gansu, and Sichuan have all retained numerous historical relics and folk tales related to Zhuge Kongming, prompting one to unconsciously imagine what the world looked like through the eyes of people back then. Despite the vast changes over time, traveling through the Qinling Mountains and passing through one tunnel after another, one can still appreciate the hardship of traversing mountains and the tedium that comes with it. Tunnels have reduced the time it takes to cross a mountain from hours to 'minutes' or 'seconds', and a minute for us today might have been a whole day for ancient people. This sense of distortion between time and space is something that cannot be experienced in the plains.
Below Wuzhang Plains, the Wei River still flows, restrained and sluggish in winter, like a wild beast in the forest, quietly hibernating. It was this unremarkable Wei River that halted the eastward advance of the Shu army, and a great general fell in the mountains, marking another failed northern campaign by Kongming.
Five expeditions from Qishan, each ending in defeat, yet this did not hinder the image of Zhuge Kongming as a 'god of war'. It is said that Zhuge Kongming has an especially large following in Japan, where the Japanese have even centered their version of the 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms' around him—the story begins with Kongming's emergence and ends with his death—as for whether the world is divided into three or unified, the Japanese no longer care. Without Kongming, the Three Kingdoms loses its luster.
From a certain perspective, Kongming's popular image bears similarities to that of Napoleon. People relish their victories and also praise their defeats. Just like Wuzhang Plains and Waterloo, people commemorate the defeated Zhuge Kongming and the defeated Napoleon, but intentionally overlook the victorious Sima Yi and the victorious Wellington. People prefer to use Wuzhang Plains and Waterloo to express the regret of unfulfilled ambitions, and rarely view these places from the perspective of their opponents. It is often said that history is written by the victors, but there are always some histories that bear the mark of the defeated. They may have been utterly vanquished in the mundane world, but in a more profound dimension of time and space, they stand tall and proud.
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.

After the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, it was repaired and expanded to form an ancient architectural complex with Zhou San Gong (Zhou Gong, Shao Gong, Tai Gong) Hall as the main body, Jiang Yuan, Hou Ji Hall as the auxiliary, and pavilions, platforms, and towers as the embellishment.
