Located at the southern foot of Chaiguanling in Qinling Mountains, southeast foot of Bai Zi, Miaotaizi Street, 0/7km away from Liuba County in Hanzhong. Sichuan-Shaanxi highway passes through Mentougou, with convenient transportation.
According to legend, Sean, one of three outstanding heroes of early han dynasty (Sean, Xiao He, Han Xin), the main counselor of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, once assisted Liu Bang in his imperial career and later lived in seclusion here. Later generations admired his wise strategy and high wind of success, and built temples and shrines here. Because he once named Liu Hou, it was named Liu Hou Temple, commonly known as Sean Temple.
Sean is the head of three outstanding heroes of early han dynasty, and Liu Bang himself said: I make suggestions and win a thousand miles, not as good as Sean; I'm not as good as Xiao He to appease the people and raise their salaries. I'm not as good as Han Xin. These three are all excellent people. However, Sean knew that he and Liu Bang could only * * * share weal and woe, so when the Western Han Dynasty was established, it was the day when Sean resigned and went to Han. He stayed in Bai Zi, deep in the Qinling Mountains, and devoted himself to monasticism. This is exactly what Liu Bang wants. When he became the first emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, he made Zhang Hou. 400 years later, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Lu, the 10 generation grandson of Sean, became the king of Hanzhong. In order to respect the ancestors' superior virtues of not seeking fame and wealth and not pretending to be important ministers, this Zhang Han Liu Hou Temple was built. Since then, it has become the center of Taoist activities, and there is an endless stream of rangers competing for sightseeing. This ancient temple is like a historical mirror, reflecting Sean's life and his reverence from generation to generation.
Sean Temple is simple and elegant, surrounded by clouds all the year round, and has the aura of a fairy family. Chai Guan and Baizishan formed an armchair here, with water in front of the temple and a river behind it. The temple is quiet and solemn, and the Fiona Fang pine and cypress are tall and green, which is an excellent image of protecting the law and keeping the road. Two flowing waters flow gently, whispering, like a piano singing; Birds are ringing, and empty valleys can be heard; In addition, exquisite temples and overlapping terraces often make travel-stained tourists feel like floating in the clouds and traveling outside their lives, such as going to foggy and changeable places. Sean Temple, which integrates historical sites, cultural relics and scenic spots, has become a famous tourist attraction in southern Shaanxi.
