Introduction to the library

Yue Fei (1103-1142), whose name is Peng Ju, was born in an ordinary peasant family in Tangyin, Henan Province. He was ambitious and diligent since childhood. When the Jin army launched a war of national aggression against the Song Dynasty, Yue Fei joined the army against the Jin Dynasty with the enthusiasm of "serving the country faithfully". He was brave and good at fighting. He fought in the north and south of the country. He made four northern expeditions and made brilliant achievements. He grew from an ordinary soldier to a military commander in Weizhen. In 1142, Yue Fei, 39 years old, was defeated by Zhao Gaozong, the supreme ruling group of the Southern Song Dynasty

The Suhe surrender faction headed by Qin Hui was killed in Dali Temple Prison of Lin'an (the capital of Southern Song Dynasty, now Hangzhou) on the charge of "no need".

In 1162, Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty succeeded to the throne and issued an imperial edict to rehabilitate Yue Fei. He buried Yue Fei's remains at the present site at the south foot of Qixia mountain. In 1221, the Southern Song Dynasty granted Zhiguo temple, which is close to Yuefei's tomb, as Yuefei's Gongde temple and "Baozhong Yanfu Temple". This is the origin of today's Yuefei tomb and temple in Hangzhou. Since then, after yuan, Ming, Qing and Republic of China, Yuefei's tomb and temple have been abandoned and prospered for a long time, which fully reflects the people's respect and love for Yuefei.

Zhonglie temple area is composed of Zhonglie temple, front courtyard and gate tower of Yuewang temple. The cemetery area is located in the southwest of the whole group of buildings, symmetrically arranged along the east-west axis. The east end of the cemetery is the "loyal to serve the country" screen wall, and the South and north sides have a row of stele corridors, which is a precious historical material library. Yuefei's tomb faces the West and the East, with the "Tomb of King yue'e of Song Dynasty" stele in front of the tomb, and the tomb of yueyun, the eldest son of Yuefei, is attached to the front left side The iron statues of Hui, Wang, Zhang Jun and other four traitors.

It is a group of garden style courtyard buildings with green trees and stones, flowers and trees. Qizhong temple was originally a place for worshiping Yue Fei's parents. Now it has been set up as Yuefei Memorial Hall. It is divided into three exhibition rooms and six parts by using various display forms, such as objects, photos and charts, to show the glorious and bumpy life of the national hero Yue Fei.

In 1961, it was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit by the State Council of the people's Republic of China.

During the reign of emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty (1457-1464), he changed "Baozhong Yanfu Temple" to Yuewang temple and granted "Zhonglie". The building was rebuilt in 1715, overhauled in 1918 and renovated in 1979. Entering the hall, the road is 23 meters long, and the main hall is at the end.
