What is the tomb of Chen Xianjia?

Chen Xianjia's tomb, also known as Xianjia Flower Tomb, is located in Xianjia Village, 5 kilometers southwest of Futu Town. The cemetery is a snake-shaped hill, and the flower grave is located in the mouth of the "snake". The villagers call it a treasure trove of feng shui, and it is called "the prince (snake) spits letters". The tomb was built in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, with a building area of 2m2. It consists of memorial archway, antechamber, altar, tomb, tombstone and guardrail. All of them are made of bluestone, and carved with birds, animals, insects and fish such as "Double Phoenix Rising to the Sun", "Rhino Looking at the Moon", "Deer and Crane in the Same Spring" and "Fish Jumping at Longmen". Exquisite workmanship and vivid image make it an artistic treasure. The stone tablet square is 7 meters high, with three doors and about 15 meters wide, which is magnificent. The owner of the tomb, Chen Xianjia, was a businessman on the rich side at that time. He was eager for public interests, charitable and well-known in southeastern Hubei.

Because of its historical and artistic value, the tomb was listed as a key cultural relic protection unit in Hubei Province by the Hubei Provincial People's Government.
