Introduction to the Temple of Wealth: The Temple of Wealth was built to commemorate Fan Li and showcase the wealthy merchants of Dongting. Fan Li, courtesy name Shaobo, was a native of Sanhuyi (today's Xichuan County, Henan Province) in Wandi, Chu State during the Spring and Autumn Period. He was a famous politician, counselor and industrialist, and was revered as the "Shang Sage" by later generations. Legend has it that he helped Gou Jian revive the Yue Kingdom and retreated bravely after destroying the Wu Kingdom. He changed his name, changed his surname, changed into white clothes, and left Gusu with Xi Shi. During this period, he became extremely rich in business three times and scattered his family wealth three times. He named himself Tao Zhugong and was the originator of Chinese Confucian businessmen. Many businessmen of later generations enshrined his statue and called him the God of Wealth.
