Located in Weidu District, Xuchang City, Henan Province, in the middle of Jianshe Road and in the south of Chunqiu building, Xuchang Chunqiu building square was once known as Guangong house, Wuan king temple, Guanwang temple, "Liangyuan Yingfeng" temple, guanfuzi temple and Guandi temple in history. It is an ancient architectural complex of Ming and Qing Dynasty style. It is a key cultural relic protection unit in Henan Province and a national 3A tourist attraction.

In the fifth year of Jian'an (AD 200) of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao's eastern expedition and the battle of xiapi captured Guan Yu and Liu Bei's wives Gan and MI. In order to protect the safety of his sister-in-law, Guan Yu temporarily attached himself to Cao Cao and came to Xuchang. Cao Cao loved the general, so he worshipped Guan Yu as a partial general, and gave him a house to live with his two sisters in law. In order to avoid suspicion, the house was divided into two courtyards. The two sisters in law lived in the inner courtyard, while they lived in the outer courtyard. There was a first floor in the courtyard, where Guan Yu read the spring and Autumn Annals at night. The spring and Autumn Annals tower got its name.

The existing Chunqiu building complex was built from Yuan Dynasty to Yuan Dynasty and has been repaired many times in yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. The basic pattern of "one house divided into two courtyards" was formed. On the central axis of the outer courtyard, there are Mountain Gate, Chunqiu tower and Guansheng hall in turn. The architectural style of one, two and three eaves is unique. The pavilions, platforms, buildings and pavilions in the inner courtyard are well arranged. In the west, it is adjacent to the Confucian temple, and "Wenwu" and "Wenwu" coexist

Worship is rare in China, especially in the main building of the scenic spot, Guansheng hall, which is 33 meters high, and the statue of Guan Gong, which is 15 meters high, is extremely rare. Nowadays, Chunqiu building scenic area is becoming a tourist attraction for tourists at home and abroad to visit and worship Guan Gong.
