Introduction to Shigong Temple: The tombs in the temple all face south, with the gate facing the river, the east tomb and the west temple, all connected side by side. In the middle of the courtyard is the "Food Hall", with a couplet written by Zhang Erxin hanging on both sides of the hall: "Count the plum blossoms to shed tears for the country's subjugation, and the two bright moons will separate the hearts of the old ministers." There is a cloud-shaped plum blossom cover in the bright room of the hall, and a horizontal plaque reading "Magnificent Mountains and Rivers" hangs on it. Hanging on both sides are couplets written in seal script by Wu Xizai in the 28th year of Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty (1848): "In life, he was born in Zi Lai Wen Xinguo, and after his death he was the Marquis of Wuxiang."
