History

In 177, Jia Yi had retreated and worked in Hunan for the Changsha King's Grand Preceptor (Chinese: 长沙王太傅, he lived in here.

In 1580, in the eighth year of the age of the Wanli Emperor, the building was rebuilt by a local officer. It was renamed Qu Yuan and Jia Yi Temple (Chinese: 屈贾二先生祠).

In 1938, the Wenxi Fire damaged about ninety percent of the buildings; only the Grand Preceptor Hall survived.[1]
