Cuqiao, located in Wuhou District, is considered to be one of the starting points of the Southern Silk Road and a center of Sichuan silk trading. The name of Cuqiao also comes from the silk trade. It was called Cocoon Bridge in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and later it was used to feed silkworms. The names for the foods (collectively called clusters) are still used today. Cuqiao was also a prosperous commercial town from the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty.

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). According to the system at that time, a temple was built to worship Liu Bei, namely the Han Zhaolie Temple. 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. From the 23rd to the 24th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, merged the Wuhou Temple dedicated to worshiping Zhuge Liang with the Tomb of Han Zhaolie and Huiling, forming a three-in-one situation.<ref>{{cite news |author1=吴云霞 |date=2015-05-16 |title=昭烈庙为何又称武侯祠 |publisher=四川新闻网 |agency=成都日报 |url=http://www.cdrb.com.cn/html/2015-05/16/content_2201770.htm |accessdate=2016-01-18 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160818083847/http://www.cdrb.com.cn/html/2015-05/16/content_2201770.htm |archivedate=2016-08-18}}</ref>
