The name of the Yongmu Temple was given by Emperor Lizong of the Southern Song Dynasty. At first, Kang Zhi, a native of Cao Village, Houzhai Town, Yiwu, who was ordered to bring back the plaque, built several houses in the east of the tomb to place tablets. Later, in the second year of Jingding, Li Bu, the then magistrate of Yiwu, adopted the local people's request to build temples to demonstrate Yan Wu's filial piety, raised silver, and appointed the bookkeeper Cao Chen Ningzu to preside over it. Together with the local gentry Lou Siwen and other four people, they chose the temple site and started construction. After completion of the second year, they have been repaired many times and are still today.

However, the Yongmu Temple that Chen Wen saw was already a little dilapidated. In fact, this is not uncommon. Now it is the chaotic autumn of the barbarians stealing China. Yiwu has been under the rule of the Qing Dynasty for several years, and it is common for soldiers to plunder every year. The people of Yiwu live in dire straits and fire, so they naturally donate and pay attention to the renovation of temples as they did when they were peaceful.

After visiting Yan Wu's tablet, Chen Wen left the Temple of Filial Piety. It was noon, and he was sitting on the ground in the open space beside the road. He continued to talk about yesterday's topic.

Last night, Chen Wen introduced the Ming army in Dalan Mountain, especially the Nantangying under Chen Wen, by showing his local children in Yiwu. Although everyone was very impressed, Chen Wen also noticed that the slogan of rebuilding the Qi family army and the Nantangying, which had basically completed the replication work, the villagers outside the city paid far more attention than the gentry in the county town; while the gentry in the county town was more concerned about the ethics and military disciplines of the civil servants in the Ming army.

Chen Wen knew very well that the reason why these gentry led the Ming army into Yiwu with the villagers outside the city was actually more resentful of the Qing Dynasty's heavy taxes and exploitation of the Qing Dynasty and the Jinhua Green Camp's looting of the local area. In the final analysis, they cannot escape the word "interest".

Therefore, by promoting the history of the Ming army in Dalan Mountain and the Nantang camp, he made the local gentry understand that good military discipline is the tradition of this army, rather than a deliberate disguise. This will naturally win their support for the locals who have been plundered by the Qing army.

In addition to deepening the local people's good impression of the Ming army, worshiping the temple of filial sons can also lead to the "loyalty" that is often called together through the "filial piety" of "Yanwu Xiaogan Tiandi", and even Confucian ideological and theoretical, so that the gentry and scholars in the upper class of Yiwu society are emotionally inclined to the Ming army.

In Confucius' theory, "defense of the barbarians and Xia" is an extremely important political proposition. "The barbarians have a king, which is not as good as the fall of Xia", "the Xia is inside, but the barbarians outside", "Micro-tubes, my hair is left-sided", etc., which emphasizes China and neglects but is less than barbarians. For the people of this era, most of them still firmly believe in the emotional sense that the Emperor Ming, a dynasty that has lasted for more than two hundred years, was the orthodox Han family, and no matter how much the Qing Dynasty packaged it, it was just a group of Tartars.

In this way, whether emotionally or materially, local gentry will naturally be more inclined to increase their support for the Ming army to ensure that they can isolate the Qing army. This is the most important purpose of Chen Wen's worship of Wang Jiang and Sun Yu in the temple of Filial Sons.
