Tomb of Li Weizhen

Li Weizhen was buried in Jingshan Yongxing According to the Records of Monuments · Tombs, Volume 22 of the Annals of Jingshan County (8th Edition of the Guangxu Reign of the Qing Dynasty), "Li Weizhen's tomb was buried forty miles away in the southeast of the county. I would like to say that the old cemetery was in Hanjiagang by mistake. Today, the tombstone has been interrupted and many words have been lost. In Hanjiagang, the father Wuhuaye." Because the ground buildings and signs of Li Weizhen's tomb were damaged in early years, No tomb site was found in previous cultural relics surveys. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, wasteland and mountain areas have been developed and utilized too much. Ancient tombs around Youjia Mountain have been destroyed. At the end of the 1960s, a Ming Dynasty tomb was found at the north foot of "Buzheng Mountain", 1000 meters southwest of Youjia Mountain. The structure of the tomb was made of glutinous rice and lime sand. The bodies and clothes unearthed from the tomb were well preserved. A tomb with an epitaph was also found at the south foot of Youjia Mountain in the west. At that time, someone saw it as the tomb of Li Weizhen, but the unearthed remains are unknown (to be verified). Fortunately, it is 600 meters southwest of Youjia Mountain Yongxing At Lijiafan Sho, there is still an ancient building of Li's ancestral temple that is about to be destroyed and disappeared. There is no historical record of this ancient building. According to the introduction of local old people, the Li Clan Ancestral Hall was built in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. The surrounding villages with many Li family names are actually a big family in the local area. The Li Clan Ancestral Hall is also the center of activities of the Li Clan. At present, two Ming tombs have been found, one is located at the west foot of Youjia Mountain, 600 meters northeast of Li's Ancestral Temple; Another "Buzheng Mountain" is located 380 meters southeast of Li's Ancestral Temple. Therefore, these two tombs should be closely related to the Li family.
