Introduction

Yu Li City is a place with a long history located in China, with a history dating back 3000 years. It was once a prison where Ji Chang, the father of King Wen of Zhou, was imprisoned for seven years, becoming the first documented national prison in Chinese history. Yu Li City is also an important site for "King Wen's capture and interpretation of Zhouyi," representing the essence of ancient culture and wisdom. Here, you can see the Longshan culture, which is as thick as 7 meters, and rich cultural relics of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, including the Yan Yi Fang, Yan Yi Tai, and ancient temple sites. In addition, there are many ancient inscriptions, such as the "Yu Bei" and "Wen Wang Yi". Legend has it that the place where Ji Chang was imprisoned was the Yan Yi Tai, which was built completely according to the Eight Trigrams Formation, including the Ten Ambushes, Wohuang, and eight other formations. It is said that this was the battle formation laid out by Zhuge Liang. When visiting Yu Li City, you can enter this Eight Trigrams maze, explore this mysterious place, and appreciate the extraordinary wisdom of Zhuge Liang.
