title: [Study on Bian Que's tomb and temple].
abstract: The historical archives and records and the existed Bian Que's tombs and temples in over a dozen of locations, including Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, have aroused controversies as to which is the authentic one. So far, no conclusion can be drawn. By combining the burial and offering customs and rituals at the end of Spring-Autumn period, analyses are made on Bian Que's tombs, temples, former residence, Bian Que Village, Bian Que town, historical remains of Prince Guo and legends on location of Bian Que's activity for making immortal pills etc., it is claimed by the authors that, besides a few places related to Bian Que's life, all the others are tombs and temples built by local people where Bian Que's visited for his memory, and his merits, reflecting the historical facts about Bian Que's activities. All these historical and cultural remains are precious evidences for the historic appraisal of Bian Que by modern scholars.
