Wogong tomb

There are many steles in front of the tomb of Wogong. One of the existing steles was set up by the Anti Japanese National Salvation Association of Tianchang County in 1932, with the inscription: "the Ming imperial edict bestowed on Zhenyuan general, all of whom commanded the military officers to defend the Japanese and died in the tomb of wogongtian." A total of 25 tombs were cleared in sanjiaowei Han tombs. Except for one in the late Warring States period, the rest were in the early and Middle Western Han Dynasty.
