Historical evolution

"Zipeng Mountain" is also known as Liling mountain. On the mountain is the tomb of Li Dian, a general of Wei Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms. At that time, Li Dian was in charge of Luzhou and built a temple on the top of the mountain to worship Li Ling, the ancestor of the seventh generation.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei general Li Dian stationed his troops in Zipeng Mountain and built a temple in the mountain to commemorate his ancestor Li Ling, which is called "Li Ling Temple". Zipeng Mountain is also called Liling mountain.

In the Tang Dynasty, Liling temple was changed into Xilu temple.
