He was only 28 years old when he died. The tomb was built in 1912, facing east from west. The plane layout of the tomb is fan-shaped, covering an area of about 10 square meters. The tombstone is placed on the top of the tomb, in the shape of a square tower with a large bottom and a small top. The running script "Tomb of the year of Yan Gongsong" is engraved in the East.
