Li Hongzhang enjoys the relevant history of court life.

When Li Hongzhang died critically, Cixi was on her way back to Beijing, passing through Henan. I was shocked to hear the news. Since then, Li Hongzhang has been awarded three imperial edicts, and the full text of the imperial edict has been published in Shenbao. In order to express gratitude and great mourning for Li Hongzhang, the Qing court specially invited posthumous title to be "Wen Zhong". After Li Hongzhang's death, major newspapers at home and abroad rushed to report it. The full text of the obituary was published in the Beijing News, and related reports were also published in the World Gazette, Shenbao and The New York Times. In particular, The New York Times published the news of Li Hongzhang's death on the front page of1October 71901local time. After his death, Li Hongzhang went to the Immortal Temple, a shrine dedicated to heroes in the Qing court. It can be said that it was a national memorial hall in the Qing Dynasty, which was a very high honor at that time. 1902 In May, Li Hongzhang's coffin set sail from Beijing, went to Tongzhou first, then to Tianjin via the Grand Canal, then to Shanghai via the sea, then to Zhenjiang and Wuhu via the Yangtze River waterway, and landed along Yuxi via Chaohu Lake. Shen Bao also reported on the transportation of the coffin home. Officials at all levels along the way made various preparations in advance, and the welcoming scene was very grand. 1903 was buried in Xiaoying, East Village, Hefei on March 26th. Li's genealogy records the situation of the cemetery at that time, such as location, mountain direction and scope. After Li Hongzhang's death, many places wrote to the imperial court asking for the construction of public shrines for him, mainly on the land where he made meritorious service, including Beijing, Shanghai, Hefei, Jinan, Baoding and other cities.

In the place where Li Hongzhang was buried, there is a saying that "three offices were buried in one mile", which means that in Fiona Fang, a land of one mile, three famous figures in feudal times chose this "land of geomantic omen" for burial. The earliest was Bao Xiaosu's Communist Party in the Song Dynasty, then Zhang Desheng, a general under Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, and later called Cai Guogong, and another was Li Hongzhang, a public official in Li Wenzhong. After Bao Lingyuan moved to Baohe, the cemetery ceased to exist; Although Li Hongzhang's tomb was destroyed in Hegang expansion in 1958, the hall is still intact after a hundred years of ups and downs.

Xiangtangnan is more than one kilometer away from Nanfeihe River. That year was particularly big, with tens of thousands of mu of tomb-protecting fields and forests all around. The production of the grave field is used as the daily maintenance cost and personnel cost of the enjoyment hall. Has been taken care of by a housekeeper named Bi. Because of the great cause of the Li family, I'm afraid I can't even count how much property the Li family has in their own home. Only these housekeepers know best. According to the descendants of the housekeeper named Bi, the housekeeper of the Li family also has a division of labor. The housekeeper's surname is Bi, who specializes in the real estate and other industries of Li Hongzhang's immediate family.

In the past, the ancients paid attention to the central axis, and the construction of cities, palaces, houses and tombs were all on a central axis. Generally, the mausoleum is behind the pleasure hall, but Li Hongzhang's pleasure hall and the mausoleum are not on the same line, but in the northeast parallel direction of the mausoleum, both slightly west-south 15 degrees. This is a major feature of Li Hongzhang's hedonic hall, which probably stems from the attention of ancient geomantic omen. Xiangtang refers to the building on the tomb, which is different from the main building in the ancestral hall. Most of the ancient buildings in China are traditional brick-wood structures, which are vulnerable to fire and lightning, so it is hard to protect them. Because the hall is located in a cemetery far from home, it is more vulnerable, so it is rare for Li Hongzhang to enjoy the hall nationwide, which is of special significance to the study of buildings on tombs.

1985 Hefei Municipal People's Government announced it as a municipal cultural relics protection unit. In 2002, it was restored by the original site of Hefei Cultural Relics Management Office and officially opened to tourists on May 1 day, 2003.
