Introduction
Set in the southern foot of the Qixia Hill near the lake, the temple was built in memory of General Yue Fei, a great patriot of the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279) who did much in driving back Kin invaders from the north. In the main hall of the temple is a statue of Yue Fei and the words "return the mountains and rivers to us", a reference to his patriotism and resistance to the Jurchen. In the two side halls are 120 tablets, engraved with Yue Fei's poems and eulogies to him written by noted figures. On the right side of the temple is the tomb of Yue Fei, which is simple but solemn in a style typical of the Southern Song Dynasty architectures. |
