Qinhuangdao Shanhaiguan Mengjiangnu Temple Travel Guide

Scenic spot introduction:

The Meng Jiangnu Temple in Shanhaiguan, Qinhuangdao is the product of the folk story "Meng Jiangnu Cries at the Great Wall" and was built to commemorate the protagonist Meng Jiangnu, one of the four major Chinese folk legends. The story of Meng Jiangnu crying at the Great Wall is one of the most widely circulated folk legends in my country. Her husband Fan Xiliang was recruited by the King of Wei to build the Great Wall and died of overwork and was buried under the Great Wall. Meng Jiangnu searched for her husband and cried to the Weihuichi Mountain section of the Great Wall. She moved heaven and earth and cried when the Great Wall collapsed, revealing her husband's bones. Savor it carefully here and appreciate the desolate state of mind of Meng Jiangnu who traveled thousands of miles to find her husband. It reflects the people's hatred of feudal tyranny and their desire and pursuit for a free and happy life. Although "The Best Strange Couple in the World" appears to be a play on words, it actually contains the philosophy of life and makes future generations have endless reveries. From it, we can see the profound heritage and connotation of Chinese culture.
