Introduction to the ancient tomb of Zhu Xi’s tomb

Zhu Xi’s Tomb, also known as “Zhu Zi’s Tomb”, is located in Dalin Valley, Tangshili (Huangkeng Town), Jianyang City. It is a national key cultural relic protection unit.

Zhu Xi died of illness in Kaoting, Jianyang City, in March, the sixth year of Qingyuan (1200) in the Southern Song Dynasty, and was buried here with his wife Liu. Zhu Xi once visited Tang Shili during his lifetime. According to legend, someone told Zhu Xi that the dragon lived in the back pond, which was where he hid. There are Lucky Ruting and Shuning Nunnery on the mountain. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty (1522-1566), it was repaired many times and there were 5 couplets at the foot of the mountain. During the Kangxi, Qianlong and Jiaqing reigns of the Qing Dynasty, they were all renovated, and Zhuzi Temple was built at the foot of the mountain. Later, it fell into disrepair and fell into disrepair. Zhu Xi's tomb is circular and surrounded by cobblestones. A tombstone from the fifty-sixth year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1717) is still erected in the center of the upper section, with the inscription "Tomb of the Song Dynasty's sage Zhu Zi and his wife Liu".

When choosing the location of the cemetery, it is said that in the Song Dynasty, a stranger said to Zhu Wengong: "The dragon lives in the back pond, which is where the master will hide." Zhu Xi believed in Feng Shui, and he was later buried here. Huangkeng is a remote and isolated area. In ancient times, when transportation was underdeveloped, it was a "paradise" isolated from the outside world. Being buried here, there is really no disturbance from war or chaos, let alone the disaster of digging up graves and overturning corpses.
