History


The Chengdu Plain, where Chengdu is located, has a long history of sericulture and silk reeling. Cotton weaving began in the Han Dynasty and is most famous for its Sichuan brocade. Cuqiao, located in Wuhou District, is considered to be one of the starting points of the Southern Silk Road and a center of Sichuan silk trading. The name of Cuqiao also comes from the silk trade. It was called Cocoon Bridge in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and later it was used to feed silkworms. The names for the foods (collectively called clusters) are still used today. Cuqiao was also a prosperous commercial town from the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. During the reign of King Zhao of Qin (256 BC - 251 BC), Li Bing, the governor of Shu, built the Changxing Bridge across the Jinjiang River at the old south gate in the north of today's Wuhou District. It became an important land passage connecting the south of the city and promoted local commerce. development of. This bridge is also known as Wanli Bridge and Old South Gate Bridge. In the Qin Dynasty, Wuhou, this area was subordinate to Chengdu County, Shu County. In the Han Dynasty, it belonged to Chengdu County, Shu County, Yizhou.
Liu Bei died in the third year of Zhangwu of the Shu Han Dynasty (AD 223) and was buried in the Huiling Mausoleum built in the southern suburbs of Chengdu (in Wuhou District). According to the system at that time, a temple was built to worship Liu Bei, namely the Han Zhaolie Temple. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties (around the 5th century AD), people moved the ancestral hall dedicated to Zhuge Liang in Shaocheng, Chengdu, to Huiling and next to the Han Zhaolie Temple, forming the predecessor of the present Wuhou Temple. From the 23rd to the 24th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, merged the Wuhou Temple dedicated to worshiping Zhuge Liang with the Tomb of Han Zhaolie and Huiling, forming a three-in-one situation.
The urban center of Chengdu was originally divided into East City District, West City District and Jinniu District. In September 1990, with the approval of the State Council, the zoning of downtown Chengdu was adjusted, and Wuhou District, named after the Wuhou Temple in the territory, was created. On January 1, 1991, the Wuhou District People's Government officially opened to the public.
