In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, when Zhu Xu, the governor of Liangzhou, was in Xiangyang, the former Fu Pi of Qin Dynasty came to attack, and Mrs. Han, Xu's mother, visited the city. She found that the defense of the northwest corner wall was weak, so she led the maidservant and the women in the city to build a section of the new city. Later, the corner was broken. Fortunately, it was the newly built wall that defeated the enemy. Mi Gong temple, formerly known as mi jia'an, was built in Yuan Dynasty, expanded in Ming Dynasty, and later renamed Mi Gong temple. There are memorial buildings in the temple, such as worship hall, baojinzhai, yanggaotang, etc. There are 45 tablets of Fajin written by Mi Fu and 145 other tablets copied by his descendants in 1730.
