Xu Wei's tomb

Xu Wei (Xu Wenchang) tomb, located in the northern foot of jiangpo East, limusha village, Lanting Town, Shaoxing County, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, is the tomb of Ming Dynasty painter Xu Wei, adjacent to Yinshan Yue King's mausoleum. In 2006, it was listed as the Sixth Batch of national key cultural relics protection units together with the sinomenine bookstore in Shaoxing City.

The existing Xu Wei tomb was restored according to its original appearance in 1989. The tomb is square, stacked with strips of stone and covered with loess. A tombstone is erected in front of the tomb, on which six characters of "Tomb of Mr. Xu Wenchang of Ming Dynasty" written by Sha Menghai are engraved. Next to it are the tombs of Xu Wei's parents, sister-in-law and daughter-in-law.

brief introduction

I visited two historic sites at the same time. Walking along the direction indicated by the sign and about 400 meters along the stone path, I saw a courtyard. The gate was a bamboo gate tower with the words "Xu Wei cemetery" on it. Entering the cemetery, on the left side is Xu Wei's tomb, which is not high, more than 2 meters. It is built with bluestone to protect the earth from being lost. In front of it stands a tombstone, on which Xu Wenchang's tomb is inscribed with the title of Sha Menghai. The tomb is simple and simple, just like Xu Wei, who was down and out all his life. Surrounded by pine trees, the tomb is of great memorial significance. In the cemetery of Xu Wei, there are also the tombs of Xu Wei's parents and brothers, because this is the cemetery of Xu's family. There is also a Xu Wei Memorial room in the cemetery, which displays some portraits, written materials and Xu Wei's works. There is a couplet hanging at the door, "a cavity of liver and gallbladder worry about the world, full of longitude and latitude to pass ancient and modern.". This is a summary of Xu Wei's life.
