It was built in the Jin Dynasty for the people of Shu to worship Zhang Yazi. The temple was first built at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (around 390 AD). In the fourth year of Xianping in the Northern Song Dynasty (1001 AD), Zhao Heng conferred the title of "Yingxian King" on Zhang Yazi in the lunar month of July. In the sixteenth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1146 AD), the temple was expanded. From the late Southern Song Dynasty to the early Qing Dynasty, over 600 years, it was repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Baichi Tower was destroyed by fire. In the tenth year of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty (1732 AD), it was rebuilt. The seated statue of Wenchang Emperor riding a white mule in the main hall of Wenchang was cast in the first year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1628 AD). The "Baite Hall" on the south side of Wenchang Hall was built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1398 AD). In the twenty-fourth year of the Republic of China (1935 AD), the Sichuan-Shaanxi Highway was built, dividing the Qiqushan Grand Temple into two halves. 🎟️Ticket Information: 60 yuan on-site, 53 yuan online (need to purchase 3 hours in advance) 💗Other Tips: The architecture here is very distinctive
