Liu Bei died in the third year of Zhangwu of the Shu Han Dynasty (AD 223) and was buried in the Huiling Mausoleum built in the southern suburbs of Chengdu (in Wuhou District).

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties (around the 5th century AD), people moved the ancestral hall dedicated to Zhuge Liang in Shaocheng, Chengdu, to Huiling and next to the Han Zhaolie Temple, forming the predecessor of the present Wuhou Temple.
