TheWu Family Shrines(Chinese:Võ thị từ), of which theWu Liang Shrine( võ lương từ ) is the best known, was the family shrine of the Wu clan of theEastern Han dynasty.The shrines contain a vast amount of relief carvings.[1]
Three walls of Wu Liang's shrine were still standing as late as the 11th century, which is the reason that the site of all the family shrines are often called after him.[2]The shrine to Wu Liang (78-151 AD) was built in 151 AD in what is nowJiaxiang Countyof southwesternShandongprovince.[1]
