The Historical Background of Yue Temple
Yue Temple is a place to commemorate the national hero Yue Fei in past dynasties. Yue Fei was the main commander in the Southern Song Dynasty to fight against the Nomads, but he was framed by Qin Gui, Zhang Jun and others for rebelling against the court on trumped-up charges and was framed to death. Before Yue Fei was killed, he wrote eight words on the confession: "Every day is bright, every day is bright". After Yue Fei was killed, the jailer risked his life, carried Yue Fei's body, crossed the city wall and was buried in a hurry next to the Jiuqu Congci. Twenty-two years later, Song Xiaozong ordered the execution of Yue Fei, and offered a reward to 500 yuan for finding Yue Fei's body, and moved it to be buried at the foot of Qixia Mountain with a grand ceremony, which is now the location of Yue's tomb. In the fourth year of Jiatai (1204), that is, 63 years after Yue Fei's death, the court made him king of Hubei.
