Tongchuan Beauty Ancestral Temple is located at the foot of Jinshan Mountain in the suburb, about 1.5km away from Tongchuan Ancient City. Here, the transportation is convenient, the environment is elegant, and there is a magical and tragic legend of Jiang Nv, which makes it a bit mysterious. According to Shaanxi Tongzhi, Ming Yi Tongzhi, Guo Junzhi and Shanhaiguan Meng Jiangnv Temple, "Meng Jiangnv came from Tongguan, Shaanxi Province (now yintai district, Tongchuan City).

Meng Jiangnv is a folk legend in China. Her character story is one of the four great love stories in China, which has been widely circulated among the people with oral tradition for thousands of years. The earliest legend can be traced back to Zuo Zhuan.

In the Western Han Dynasty, yin and yang and five elements, the connection between heaven and man prevailed, and the bitterness of Qi Liang's wife caused the feeling of city collapse and mountain crack. During the Six Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties, there was a song of sending clothes in Yuefu, so the content of sending cold clothes was added. It can be seen that Meng Jiangnv's story of crying on the Great Wall is gradually enriched in the long-term cultural evolution.

Building the Great Wall is the most cruel and representative of all kinds of labor in feudal dynasties. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Ming Dynasty, in the long years of nearly 2,000 years, the Great Wall has been repaired and repaired repeatedly, and countless civilian workers have been forced. At any time, it may have the same experience as Meng Jiangnv.

Therefore, Meng Jiangnv and Fan Xiliang are two typical figures created by the working people in endless labor, which embodies the disaster that millions of lower-class people are driven away by labor and their wives are separated. The touching story of Crying over the Great Wall is an indictment of the tyranny of the feudal ruling class and a tribute to the indomitable spirit of the enslaved people.
