As we all know, there are four treasures in the vast sea of Chinese folk literature, namely the four major folk love legends, namely "Cowherd and Weaver Girl", "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai", "The Legend of White Snake" and "Meng Jiangnu Crying at the Great Wall". Among them, "Meng Jiangnu Crying at the Great Wall" is the most widely circulated and has the longest history. For more than two thousand years, the tragic love between Meng Jiangnu and Wan Xiliang (also known as Fan Qiliang and Fan Xiliang) has been praised by the world, and her unyielding character and loyal spirit have been praised and admired by emperors and people of all dynasties. In history, many places have built Meng Jiangnu temples, such as Xushui in Hebei, Tongchuan in Shaanxi, Liling in Hunan, Henan and other places. But only the Meng Jiangnu Temple in Shanhaiguan is the most authentic and the most complete Meng Jiangnu Temple so far. Shanhaiguan Meng Jiangnu Temple was built before the Song Dynasty. It was originally named Zhennu Temple. It was restored three times during the Wanli period, Chongzhen period and 1928 of the Ming Dynasty. It is now a building during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Meng Jiangnu Temple is one of the first batch of 5A-level scenic spots in the country, the first batch of key cultural relics protection units in Hebei Province, and a famous cultural relic tourist attraction. In 2007, the China Folk Artists Association solemnly awarded Shanhaiguan the title of "China Meng Jiangnu Cultural Hometown" and "China Meng Jiangnu Cultural Research Center", which is the best praise for Shanhaiguan's excavation, sorting, research, inheritance and promotion of Meng Jiangnu culture over the years. The people of Shanhaiguan are not only familiar with the story of Meng Jiangnu, but everyone can tell it, and even a large number of knowledgeable people who study Meng Jiangnu culture have emerged. Among the lush trees, a red wall surrounded by a temple with blue bricks and plain tiles looks simple and quiet. This is in line with the identity and character of Meng Jiangnu, a peasant girl. Although the temple here is not big, it is well-known for its huge number of tourists. The scenic area consists of long steps, mountain gate, bell pavilion, front hall, back hall, Wangfu Stone, dressing table, Zhenyi Pavilion, Sea Eye, Meng Jiangnu Garden and other scenic spots, with a reasonable layout and well-proportioned.

Interpretation of Meng Jiangnu Temple from the perspective of Eastern philosophy Meng Jiangnu Temple, as a legendary attraction in traditional Chinese culture, carries profound emotional and moral significance from the perspective of Eastern philosophy. The story of Meng Jiangnu tells of loyalty and sacrifice, and embodies the core values of "benevolence" and "filial piety" in Confucian culture. Eastern philosophy emphasizes the harmonious coexistence of man and nature, and man and society. The legend of Meng Jiangnu is the embodiment of this harmonious concept. Her deep affection for her husband and her loyalty to the country show the perfect fusion of personal emotions and social responsibility. At the same time, the architectural style and layout of Meng Jiangnu Temple follow the Feng Shui theory, embody the Taoist idea of "harmony between man and nature", and emphasize the harmonious unity of man and the natural environment. Interpretation of Meng Jiangnu Temple from the perspective of Western philosophy From the perspective of Western philosophy, Meng Jiangnu Temple can be interpreted as an exploration of the tension between personal emotions and social structure. Western philosophy, especially since the Enlightenment, emphasizes personal freedom and rationality. The story of Meng Jiangnu reflects the conflict and reconciliation between personal emotions and social norms to some extent. Meng Jiangnu's loyalty can be seen as a celebration of the power of personal emotions, while her sacrifice for the country reflects the responsibilities and obligations of individuals in the social structure. In addition, as a cultural symbol, Meng Jiangnu Temple also reflects the thinking about "memory" and "history" in Western philosophy. It is not only a commemoration of past events, but also an emphasis on historical memory and cultural heritage, reflecting the exploration of historical continuity and cultural identity in Western philosophy. In summary, whether from the perspective of harmonious coexistence and moral education in Eastern philosophy, or personal freedom and historical memory in Western philosophy, Meng Jiangnu Temple carries rich philosophical connotations and is a bridge connecting the past and the present, the individual and society, and emotion and reason.
