The armor becomes a legacy of regret, and the mighty army is lost in the waves

Yunyang Zhangfei Temple|The armor becomes a legacy of regret, and the mighty army is lost in the waves! Yunyang is a Three Gorges county town in a broad sense. Although it is not in the geographical sense of the Three Gorges, the cliffs on both sides still explain the canyon terrain here. The current Yunyang is a new city built around the peculiarly shaped Rock City Fortress. And the tourists who come here are more rushing to the Zhang Huanhou Temple relocated and rebuilt on the opposite side of the river and the gold and stone of the past dynasties there. Zhang Fei Temple Like other shrine buildings built according to local conditions, Zhang Fei Temple does not pay attention to the symmetry of the central axis. The small building group is scattered, quite like a small bonsai by the river. And being in it, the tall flying eaves and the roof components covered with porcelain pieces shine with the Yangtze River, and naturally understand the meaning of the "clear wind on the river" written outside the temple door. The collection of gold and stone inscriptions from past dynasties in Zhang Fei Temple is known as the first in eastern Sichuan and is a sacred place of literary talent. The history of inscriptions spans from the Han to the Qing, with a large span, and even works by Su Huang and his disciples and Yue Fei can be seen. People often say that the Three Gorges is a country of poets. In addition to those poems and texts printed in people's minds, only this treasure house of gold and stone can see the heroic spirit of poets when they write. In Yunyang, Zhang Fei is revered as King Zhang Bodhisattva and has always been worshipped by people. When the Shu Han regime lost Guan Yu and Jingzhou fell, on the eve of Liu Bei's revenge in the Battle of Yiling, Zhang Fei, who was stationed in Langzhong, was assassinated and killed. Fan Jiang Zhang Da, who killed Zhang Fei, threw Zhang Fei's head into the Yunyang River when he went east to join Sun Wu. The end of a generation of heroes was so sad that it was really heartbreaking. And the local people in Yunyang, because of their admiration for Zhang Fei, built temples and shrines for him. For more than 1,700 years, praying to King Zhang Bodhisattva has become an inseparable part of Yunyang's folk customs.
