According to local chronicles such as Hongzhi's Wujiang County Records in Ming Dynasty, Qingganlong's Wujiang County Records and Guangxu's Continued Wujiang County Records, the Gu site where Gu Gong Temple is located is a capital city outside the north gate of Wujiang. Originally Gu's former residence, it was said that it was the place where he wrote jade films (there was a porch in the house, named "Listening to Jiang Xuan"), and then a temple was built here (it was said that it was here in Wu).
There is no test for the initial construction of the ancient palace temple. In the autumn and September of Song Jianzhong Jing (1 1), Shichu Road, the magistrate of Wujiang, came to Guwei on business. When I saw an ancient temple, I asked the people who accompanied me that it was an ancient palace temple. When Ishiguro visited the shrine, he saw that the portrait of the ancient duke was only painted on the board, and his clothes were not straight. So he "eliminated greed, changed it into a basic structure, set up its image, set up its table with numbers, and worshipped it in the spring and autumn" and recorded his reconstruction. In the second year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty (1427), Jia Zhong, a magistrate of a county, repaired it. Chenghua eight years (1472), Wang Dixiu, magistrate of a county. In the seventh year of Chongzhen (1634), Ri Zhang County was rebuilt.
In the eighteenth year of Qing Shunzhi (166 1), the idol was redrawn. In the seventh year of Kangxi (1668), two additional gatehouses were built, and sacrifices were made in Sangao Temple (dedicated to Fan Li, Hans Zhang and Lu Guimeng) on the same day. Zhu Wenzhong has a saying: "Only the public lives in the state of Chen, and he is the official of the Yellow Gate. He makes jade articles for the benefit of literati and keeps the tide for the benefit of farmland. In the 12th year of Jiaqing (1807), Gu's descendants built the ancestral hall. In the last sixteen years, Rujing "paid tribute to Wu Dazhong and listed the public temple as a protection case", so "assisted the case with an example" and "sent an imperial edict to Tang Yin on August 47" made the temple look brand-new. In the 11th year of Tongzhi (1872), the temple was rebuilt.
Gugong Temple has experienced many vicissitudes. According to Mr. Xu Youlian of Sanliqiao Village, in the 1950s, Gu Gong Temple was changed into a school, and two statues of Gu Gong and Mrs. Gu in the temple were temporarily placed in the school. Later, they were moved to a thatched shed by the Wusong River near Jiapu Bridge by villagers, and then they were invited back. After the "Cultural Revolution" began, Gugong Temple was destroyed. Two statues were secretly placed by villagers in Zhongfeng Temple of Guanyin Mountain in Suzhou. In the 1990s, local villagers built a small ancient temple near its original site, and two statues returned to their hometown.
Fortunately, with the attention of Wujiang Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, Gugong Temple (Guwangye Memorial Hall) was officially restored and rebuilt in 2006. It lasted more than a year and was completed in the second half of 2007.
The rebuilt ancient palace temple is located in Sanliqiao Ecological Park, with lush flowers and trees, flowing water and rockery, and full of spring. The temple is adjacent to the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the west and the Lisan Ancient Bridge, a cultural relic protection unit in Wujiang City in the southwest, forming a wonderful picture of "Dahe Gao Qiao welcomes green water and safflower trees cover the yellow door"
The rebuilt ancient palace temple consists of stone archway, mountain gate and main hall. The stone archway has four columns and three doors, and the square forehead is engraved in the north and south directions, with the words "Gu Sheng Gu Gong", "Minister" and "Li Bi Dao" in the south direction, and the words "hometown of assistant minister", "Gu Wu" and "legacy of Liang Chen" in the north direction, and four couplets are engraved, one of which is Wu Shisen's clear sentence and the other three are Li. The display layout of the mountain gate and the main hall completely and vividly reproduces the dual images of ancient historical figures and folk legends. Guangfu Temple is said to be Gu's first residence. There is a "Mo Chi" (also known as "Mohuma") beside the temple. It is said that Gu wrote books here and washed inkstones.
There is an ancestral temple next to the temple for sacrifice. Its tomb is a municipal cultural protection unit and has been located in Xiazhou Village on the south bank of Shihu Lake in Suzhou. There is no village now. Suzhou International Education Park has been built, and the cemetery has not been affected. You can find it in the campus of Suzhou Vocational College (enter from Gate 8 of Vocational College, walk about 200 meters north along the ancient highway, and cross the bridge to get to the tomb area). It covers an area of about 50 square meters, with a height of 2 meters and a diameter of 10 meter. There are five big stones above and below the tomb, which are called meteorites, so they are commonly known as "falling star graves". Neiyi Stone inscribed Jiaqing Eight Years (1803) Gandaxin Chenhuangmen Assistant Minister Gu Cemetery. Two pillars in front of the original "Gugong Shinto" tomb, a stone workshop without buildings, and a tombstone erected during the Qianlong period were destroyed in 1966. Gu Tomb was listed as a provincial cultural relics protection unit in 1957, and was downgraded to Suzhou cultural relics protection unit in 1982.
