Liangzhou, now Wuwei City, the capital of the northwest, the capital of Yongliang, the important state of the world, and the State Fanwei, Liangzhou dominates the center of the northwest, where the Xiliang Palace is located, and the Xiliang Prefecture is located. It has become the center of the northwest in the past dynasties. The culture of the Western Jin Dynasty was originally the style of the Wei and Jin Dynasties and came from the Cao Wei. The Western Jin Dynasty inherited the cultural heritage of Cao Wei, and among the scholar-official class in the Western Jin Dynasty, there were Jingzhao Du clan, Hanoi Chang clan, Hedong Pei clan, Chen Jun Xie clan, Anding Zhang clan, Wuwei Jia clan, Hanoi Sima clan, Qinghe Cui clan, Bolin Choi, Hedong Wei, Chen Liujiang, Guangping Chen, Zhao Jun Li, Taiyuan Wang, Fanyang Lu, Zhongshan Wang, Yingchuan Xun, Dongyang Chen, Xingyang Zheng, Dunhuang Soc This group of people in the Sima family in the Western Jin Dynasty, their descendants mostly avoided the former Lianggu Zang in the northwest due to the Rebellion of the Eight Kings and Yongjia. Therefore, the Han culture did not withdraw from the stage of history in the five chaos of China, but was preserved in the northwestern Lianggu. It is precisely because this group of people came to Liangzhou, the core of the northwest, that the flourishing age of Qianliang came into being. Later, Hou Liang continued the cultural and architectural heritage of Qian Liang. Later, Nanliang inherited Beiliang and Xiliang. Later, Xiliang and Beiliang also inherited Nanliang. After that, the Northern Wei Dynasty attacked Beiliang, the last regime of the Sixteen Kingdoms, and absorbed the culture of Beiliang in its entirety. The Liangzhou immigrants contributed a lot to the process of the Sinicization of Tuoba Xianbei in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The Northern Wei Dynasty splits the Eastern Wei and Western Wei, and this lingering pulse continues. The Eastern Wei Dynasty became the Northern Qi Dynasty and belonged to the regular army of the Northern Wei Dynasty. The Western Wei Dynasty changed to the Northern Zhou Dynasty and belonged to the miscellaneous army of the Northern Wei Dynasty. Therefore, culturally, the Liangzhou family was mainly in the Eastern Wei Dynasty, but during the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou dynasties, Liangzhou culture had a general impact on them. The Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Qi belonged to the Sui Dynasty, and the Yumai of the Sui and Tang Dynasties was the source of this.

(Translated by Google) The Wuwei Confucian Temple was built in an unknown year and has been restored and rebuilt many times. Including the Confucian Academy, the Confucian Temple, and the Eastern Wenchang Palace, it is a unique building complex. It is currently undergoing extensive restoration and is expected to become an even bigger tourist attraction in the future. The best tour route is to start from the mountain gate of Wenchang Palace, pass through various scenic spots, and finally return to the mountain gate. The rich history and unique architecture of the Wuwei Confucian Temple will provide visitors with an unforgettable experience. (Original) 武威文廟始建年代不詳,經歷多次修復重建。 包括儒學院、文廟、東部文昌宮三部分,是獨特的建築群。 目前正在進行大規模修復,預計未來將成為更大的遊覽景點。 最佳遊覽路線是從文昌宮山門開始,途經各處景點,最後返回山門。 武威文廟的豐富歷史和獨特建築將為遊客帶來難忘的體驗。

(Translated by Google) When we arrived in Wuwei City, we first looked for historical buildings to admire. Even the Confucian Temple, there are many buildings worth taking a look at. Once again, to introduce the preservation of ancient monuments in Wuwei City, we must report and display the historical records of stone carvings to briefly understand the evolution in history.

Fascinating home of 2 antiquities separated by a thousand years. First was the famous horse balanced on one foot that symbolizes the area. A park is erected around the tomb where the famed horse and we entire bronze retinue were discovered in miniature. In the park a life-size replica of said retinue is displayed. Just above the tomb that was buried over time was build a Buddhist temple. It's an interesting peak into two periods of local history.

The park is quiet close to the Han dynasty tomb. Admission to the park is free. Replica of the bronze galloping horse statue with array of soldiers n chariots are on display within the park. The horse stepping on a flying swallow is the symbol of China tourism.
