The best known of the relics are a stone tablet made in the Tang Dynasty and a couplet written 106 years ago in the Qing Dynasty (1644-1911).

Entitled "For Zhuge Liang, Prime Minister of the Shu Kingdom," the nearly 3.7-m-tall stone tablet has been known as the "Tablet of Three Wonders" since the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Its text was written by Pei Du, a famous prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, its calligraphy was contributed by Liu Gongchuo, a famed practitioner, and its carving came from Lu Jian, a noted engraver. Liu and Lu also lived in the Tang Dynasty.

Written in 809, the text praises Zhuge's ability to manage state affairs and command the army, as well as his loyalty to the two emperors of the Shu Kingdom and his painstaking efforts to try to reunify the country. It compares Zhuge to the best prime ministers in Chinese history. Pei was known for his essays after serving as prime minister for three emperors.

Another famous literary work at the temple is "Conquering the Mind," a 106-year-old aphorism that is one of the most famous in China. It reads: "If a military strategist knows how to conquer the mind, a revolt can be suppressed accordingly. Since ancient times, people well versed in the art of war have never been bellicose. A leader can make mistakes if he does not make a correct assessment of the situation, being either too strict or lenient in implementing policies. Future governors of Sichuan have to take action after much deliberation."

It was written in 1902 by Zhao Fan (1850-1927), a native of Sichuan's neighboring Yunnan province, to advise his student Cen Chunxuan to not always take a hard line. As Sichuan's governor-general in the late Qing Dynasty, Cen often suppressed his rivals using the military.

In 1902, uprisings led by farmers, who called themselves the Boxers, began against the decadent Qing Dynasty in different parts of Sichuan. The Qing government's rule in Sichuan was threatened because of the size of the uprisings. The government in Beijing was so frightened that it sent Cen to Sichuan.
