On Liu Shan’s religious heresy:

Today, the Wuhou Shrine (dedicated to the honor and worship of Zhuge Liang) is a part of Liu Bei’s royal temple (Zhaolie Emperor Temple), but the Wuhou Shrine actually began its life as a royal-commissioned temple, a rather controversial temple both during its construction and for hundreds of years afterwards, because an emperor is only supposed to commission temples for gods and royal ancestors. According to Han Dynasty rituals (and the Eastern Han court had a whole debate about this at one point to settle the issue), an emperor is to build temples for gods, the emperors who founded his dynasties, and his own direct line of forefathers (limited to just five generations above him), and that’s it. The greatest posthumous honor a government official can receive both before and after Liu Shan’s time, was to have his memorial tablet featured in an imperial temple (配享太庙), to “share” in the worship of the emperor. Even having his own shrine in a royal temple was unthinkable.

Liu Shan however, became the only emperor in all of Chinese history to commission a WHOLE NEW INDEPENDENT TEMPLE for a subject, Zhuge Liang.

Immediately after Zhuge Liang’s death, some court officials proposed building a temple to honor him but were met with resistance from conservative officials who noted, correctly, that it was against orthodox Han dynasty religious rites. Liu Shan asked for the court to hold an official debate to discuss the issue, the court could not come to an agreement, and the issue was shelved for 30 years. In the passing decades, subjects across the Shu-Han kingdom built private shrines and temples to honor Zhuge Liang (this practice is called “private worship” 私祭 or “improper worship” 淫祭), which was tolerated but not officially sanctioned by the royal court. 30 years later, the issue was raised at court again, and this time, Liu Shan simply signed off on it without a debate.

The Wuhou Temple was originally built next to Zhuge Liang’s grave in Dingjun Mountain, and completed before the fall of the Shu-Han Kingdom. The temple was moved to Chengdu during the end of the Western Jin Dynasty and rebuilt next to Liu Bei’s royal temple. In the Ming Dynasty, the grounds of the two temples were merged into one, forming the Zhaolie Temple / Wuhou Shrine which still exist in this form today.

Liu Shan was criticized over the next hundred years for commissioning a temple for Zhuge Liang because it violated the proper rites of royal worship. And this was a big deal because ancient people genuinely believed that the emperor’s ability to properly conduct religious duties would protect the kingdom from natural disasters and crop failures. Stuffy old men in the Song dynasty, who otherwise respected or even revered Zhuge Liang, were still bitching about Liu Shan’s heresy for building a temple for a subject.

Love is weird/ I love strange u short review

This is so so low budget mini drama and it got 21 ep with 5 minutes showtime each.

What I mean with low budget is regarding their outfit throughout the show.

They keep wearing the same thing and the clothes look so cheap

U will notice they keep wearing the same outfit and reuse it by changing hairstyle

Aren't u rich?

The plot was a marriage contract where u will feel confuse on what time did they fall in love and suddenly they in love with each other so much.

There some or many moment that was cringe and funny

Theres 2 kiss scene where one it's a sudden kiss and second is this one the ending kiss

Well at least this has happy ending

Rating: 2/5

Bcoz the low budget and wtf plot.

The safest place in the world was Uncle Zhao’s chest, upon which I clung to for dear life.

The warmest place in the world was in Xiansheng’s arms, which held me gently as I pressed a little kiss to his cheek.

I wake from these dreams of childhood, alone, in the generous lordly estate granted to me, still hearing the phantom beating of Uncle Zhao’s heart in my ears and feeling the lingering softness of Xiansheng’s skin against my lips. I turn away from the morning light, to face in the direction of the land I can longer reach, and wonder how tall the grass above their graves have grown this year. In the shadows where the sun cannot touch, I stain my pillow with quiet tears.
