Album Info:

Qu Yuan Shrine was built in memorial of the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan(339 BC-278BC). It is situated at Xiangjiaping, 1.5km from Guizhou Town, the seat of Zigui County. In 820, the Qu Yuan Shrine was built at Quyuantuo, 2.5 km from the county seat. After that it was rebuilt many times. Because of the construction of the Gezhouba Water Control Project, the water level rose, the shrine was rebuilt at the eastern suburb of the county. The three Chinese characters "Qu Yuan Shrine "were inscribed by Guo Moruo (1892-1978, an outstanding contemporary Chinese historian, paleographer and playwright).
