Wu Family Shrines, Archaeological site in Jiaxiang County, Shandong, China.

The Wu Family Shrines contain stone carvings depicting scenes from mythology, history, and daily life across multiple structures and halls.

The Wu Liang Shrine, constructed in 151 AD during the Eastern Han dynasty, features relief carvings that remained standing until the 11th century.

The stone carvings represent themes of filial piety, loyalty, and historical narratives that influenced Chinese society during the Han dynasty period.

The site maintains regular opening hours for visitors to explore the architectural elements and stone reliefs through guided tours in multiple languages.

Amateur archaeologist Huang Yi discovered the carved stones in 1786, connecting historical records with physical artifacts that date back to the Han period.
