Origin and Story of 龙骧虎视
During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhuge Liang, the strategist of the Shu Kingdom, passed away at the age of 54 during a campaign. According to his last will, he was buried simply on Mount Dingjun in Hanzhong, requesting no lavish funeral or the construction of a monument or temple.
The Shu Post-Emperor, Liu Shan, initially followed his wishes. However, later, Zhongshulang Xiang Chong and others jointly requested that a temple be built for him.
Liu Shan then agreed to construct Zhuge Liang's temple in Mianyang, commenting on him: "Zhuge Liang's original aspiration was to prance like a dragon and gaze like a tiger, aspiring to encompass the four seas."
