On the road: Youlicheng - the first prison in Chinese history.

On the third day in Anyang, we went to Youlicheng and the Yue Fei Temple in Tangyin, and then to Kaifeng. It is less than 20 kilometers from the city to Youlicheng, and the parking lot in front of the scenic spot is very large. Youlicheng is the place where King Wen was imprisoned and deduced the Book of Changes. [One] Youlicheng, also known as the Temple of King Wen, is located on Wenwang Road, Tangyin County, Anyang City, Henan Province. [Two] The existing buildings were rebuilt in the 21st year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1542) [Three] It is the first prison in Chinese history with historical evidence and site reference, and it is also the birthplace of Zhouyi culture. It was the place where King Yin Zhou imprisoned King Ji Chang for 7 years 3,000 years ago. This is also the place where King Wen deduced 64 hexagrams and 384 lines based on the eight trigrams of Fuxi, that is, the holy place where "King Wen was detained and performed Zhouyi". [Four] Youlicheng is a cultural site rich in Longshan to Shang and Zhou periods, with 7 meters thick Longshan culture and Shang and Zhou cultural relics. [Five] There are sacrificial steles of Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty and imperial steles of Emperor Qianlong in the park. [Six] There is a tomb on the side of the Yan Yi Terrace. It is said that King Shang Zhou killed Boyi and made it into a meat soup to force King Zhou Wen to swallow it. Knowing that it was his own flesh and blood, he swallowed it with grief, and then vomited it out behind the Yan Yi Terrace. Later generations piled up a tomb here, named Tu'er Tomb. [Six] National key cultural relics protection unit. [Seven] Ticket: 38 yuan. [Eight] There is a parking lot, and the parking fee is 5 yuan without time limit.
