Chengdu Wuhou Temple
Ladies and gentlemen,
Now we are at the entrance gate of Wuhou Temple.before we get in I should give you some information about China’s history , which makes you have a better understanding about the temple. China experienced a lot of dynasties .But there is a period which is very famous .that is the Three kingdoms Period .Ok, ladies and gentlemen I will ask you a question first before telling you what happened in that period .Did you read a famous Chinese classic novel begore named the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? Maybe someone did but some didn’t . Actually , this book is about what happened at that time .
At the end of eastern Han dynasty, the emperor was very atrocious and treated his civilians very bad .He just knew how to play and flirt with women .His civilians were very angry with him. At last, lots of peasants rebellions broke out .However, the generals of Han dynasty didn’t help the bad emperor supprethat instead of taking this opportunity to establish their own kingdoms. Thus lots of wars happened among the generals .You can imagine the chaotic society of that time. After several years’ fighting, only three kingdoms survived .they were Wei , Shu and Wu. Here I particularly need to mention the Shu kingdom. Actually it was the ancient name of Sichuan province. That’s why you can enjoy the rich culture of Shu kingdom in Sichuan province .
