Zhao Yun Temple in Zhengding County, Shijiazhuang
🏯Hebei Shijiazhuang Zhao Yun Temple
Zhao Yun Temple is located in Zhengding County, Shijiazhuang City, Hebei Province, and was officially opened to the public in 1997. Zhao Yun, also known as Zilong, was a native of Changshan Zhengding (now the area around Ancient City East Road in Shijiazhuang City), a famous general of the Three Kingdoms period, known as the 'Invincible General'. The newly built Zhao Yun Temple is magnificent, covering an area of 12 mu, with a total construction area of 1500 square meters. The temple adopts the structure of Ming and Qing ancient buildings, divided into a courtyard and a second courtyard. The main buildings include the temple gate, Siyi Hall, Wuhu Hall, Junchen Hall and Shunpinghou Hall, which basically retain and enrich the historical appearance of the original temple, and complement the surrounding famous attractions such as Longxing Temple and Rongguo Mansion. Zhao Yun Temple was built to commemorate Zhao Yun, a brave general during the Three Kingdoms period, promoting Chinese national culture and showing Zhao Yun's bravery.
Zhao Yun (? - 229 AD), a native of Changshan Zhengding (now Hebei Zhengding), also known as Zilong, was a famous general of the Shu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period. He began to follow Liu Bei after leaving Gongsun Zan. He fought in many battles without a single defeat, and was known as the 'Invincible General'. Zhao Yun 'followed the benevolent government', had distinct political views; was loyal and brave to save the young master; was honest and admonished, modest and cautious; was fair and unselfish, did not favor private interests; was strict in military discipline, cared for the people; became famous as a young man, lived a long life and died well. Zhao Yun's life was full of military achievements and glory. His deeds such as saving Huang when he was born, fighting in Changban, refusing to marry in Guiyang, marrying in Dongwu, intercepting the river to seize the fight, going up the river to settle Shu, the strange strategy of the empty village, cutting off the general in his old age, and refusing the reward in Jigu Valley are all well-known and known to all. He is undoubtedly the 'Invincible General, the perfect model'.
