Introduction to Hanhou Temple: Hanhou Temple is located on the south bank of Hanxin Lake, with its back to the lake, which means that Han Xin arrayed with his back to the water and used his troops superbly. The courtyard is long from east to west and short from north to south. It is a flat courtyard, which is different from the size of ordinary temples. It is a metaphor for Han Xing's plight of being demoted due to his high merit. Su Dongpo in the Northern Song Dynasty admired Han Xin very much, so he changed the name of Hanhou Temple to Huaiyinhou Temple and erected a monument in the courtyard.
