The love story of Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yinytai together with the Story of White Snake, Liulang and Zhinu, and Mengjiangnu is called the four folk stories of love in China. The story of Liang-Zhu, known throughout China both to the old and young, is called the oriental Romeo and Juliet. There is a saying in Ningbo that "Husband and wife should visit Liang Shanbo Temple if they want to live together for ever and all".

It is recorded in the history book that Liang Shanbo was once a local leader in China in East Jin Period. 5 kilometers in the east of Ningbo, the Liang Shanbo Temple, Liang-Zhu Tomb, and Husband and Wife Bridge, Qing Gong (Bedroom) are authorized as the real birthplace of the story of Liang-Zhu by China Liang-Zhu Culture Association. Liang Shanbo Temple is the only temple commemorating Liang-Zhu, "the God of Love"in China.

The beautiful story of Liang-Zhu has been handed down for centuries and it has erased the tragic tone. To further provoke the cultural connotations of the love story, the China Travel Service and the local government began, since 1995, to establish Liang-Zhu Cultural Park based on Liang Shanbo Temple and Liang-Zhu Tomb. The park is connected with River Yao and occupies 300 Chinese Mu. Based on the plot of the love story, a series of scenic spots are under construction. They are "Caotang Jiebai (Meet in the Cottage)", " San Zai Tongchuang(Three Years' Living Together)", "Shiba Xiangsong(9 Kilometers See-off)", "Loutaihui" (Meet at the Tower)", "Huadie Tuanyuan(Reunion as Butterflies). The construction of the park adopts the lay-out of the typical southern buildings of pavilions, terraces, mansions, and houses on terraces and intends to create the effect of walking scenery of hills upon hills and gardens in gardens.

The Liang-Zhu Cultural Park aims at building itself into, based on the main plot of the love story, a combination of tourist attractions, nostalgia, sightseeing, cultural and academic activities.
