An overview of the mausoleum

Mengchangjun cemetery is located in the northeast corner of XueGuo's old city, 1km south of Guanqiao town. It is originally a big mound like a hill. According to historical records, it is the tomb of Tianwen, the Prime Minister of Qi Dynasty, and Guo Juntian's infant, his father Jing. Yang Shoujing, a famous historical geographer in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, wrote in the notes to the water classic: "there are still Wenzhong tombs on the side of Guo today. (Shoujing's note: the notes to the annals of the Han Dynasty quoted Huanglan), and mengchang Junzhong tombs are in the northeast of xiangmen in the city. There is still a Wen tomb beside Guo of the Li family. It was discovered by eyes that it was the place where the emperor of mengchang was buried when he granted it to Xue. Therefore, in topographical records, Xue had the tomb of Mencius. Kuo Di Zhi was buried in the South 52 li of Tengxian county. Huanyu Ji is 50 Li south of Tengxian county. There is no other saying, in the southeast of Tengxian County today. "

During the Warring States period, Tian Ying, the youngest son of King Wei of Qi, took office in front of his father's car and often led the troops to the army. Tian Ying was appointed prime minister in the ninth year of King Xuan of Qi Dynasty (312 BC), and was granted to Xue Di in the third year of King min of Qi Dynasty (299 BC). After Tian Ying's death, his son Tian Wen inherited his father's title and still lived in Xueyi, known as Xuegong as mengchangjun.

The story of Mencius

Mengchangjun is famous for his hospitality and cultivation. He is good at employing people and recruiting talents from all over the world. He would rather destroy his family property than treat his guests well. As a result, people with lofty ideals and talents from all over the world have come to join hands with each other, with more than 3000 diners. Mengchang is famous all over the world. He is one of the four famous gentlemen buried in the Warring States period (Pingyuan Jun of Zhao, Xinling Jun of Wei, Chunshen Jun of Chu, mengchang Jun of Qi). He was appointed prime minister by King min of Qi. Mengchangjun treats all the guests equally, regardless of their family background. All the guests are grateful and loyal to their duties. Therefore, many historical allusions have been widely spread. Once, Feng Xiang, a disciple of mengchangjun, volunteered to collect interest from Xuedi. After Feng Yuan arrived at Xuedi, he knew that the people had been affected by the disaster for years, and the crops failed, and the people were in dire straits. He burned all the bonds of some debtors who were unable to pay the rent, and told the people that this was the will of Duke Xue, and the people bowed their heads and kowtowed. Feng Xiang went back to mengchang and said to buy back "righteousness" for his master. After hearing the details, mengchang dismissed him as prime minister and returned to the feudal state of Xue. When people heard that they were helping the old and the young, kneeling down to greet each other and offering good food and wine, mengchang Jun suddenly realized that he had made great contributions to Feng Xiang by burning coupons.

During Xue's reign, he admonished mengchang. If a man is invincible, he should follow cunning rabbit's example. Now you have Xue Di as the first cave, and I will build the second cave for you to ensure the safety of future generations. So Feng Xiang went to the states of Wei and Qin to persuade the two kings to worship mengchang as prime minister and employ each other with a lot of money. Feng fan went to the state of Qi again to state his interests to the king of Qi, so that the king of Qi Min drove to him in person. Xue Di apologized to mengchang Jun, and asked him to return to the capital of Qi and seal his position again.

Up to now, more than two thousand years later, the story of Mencius is still well known,
