After his death, his eldest son, apak hojia, inherited his father's missionary career, became a famous master of "Yichan sect" of Kashgar Islam in the late Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty, and once won the power of the Yeerqiang Dynasty. He died in 1693 and was also buried here. Because he was more famous than his father, people later called this tomb "apak hoga tomb". It is said that among the descendants of hokka buried here, there is a woman named yiparhan, who is Emperor Qianlong's concubine. Because she has a common smell of Elaeagnus angustifolia, people call her "fragrant Concubine". After the death of Xiangfei, her body was escorted back to Kashgar by her sister-in-law Su Dexiang and buried in apahoga's tomb, so this tomb is called "Xiangfei's tomb". However, according to textual research, Xiangfei was not buried here. Her exact burial place was in Yufei's garden of Qing Dongling in Zunhua, Hebei Province.

origin

The origin of the name "Xiangfei tomb" comes from folklore. Xiangfei's real name is maimure aizim. She has a strange fragrance since she was a child. She is known as "yiparhan" (fragrant girl). She was chosen as a concubine by the emperor of Qing Dynasty and was given the title of "fragrant Concubine". Because she was not satisfied with the water and soil condition of the capital, 124 people carried her coffin. It took three years to transport her corpse back to her hometown and bury her in the tomb of apak Huojia. Now there is a camel sedan in the main tomb, which is said to have been brought from Beijing when the corpses were transported. This legend is widely spread, expressing the good wishes of unity and mutual love of the people and Han nationalities since ancient times. In fact, "Xiangfei" is a real person. He is a cousin of the polonido brothers who launched the "big and small hoga rebellion" and a great niece and granddaughter of apak hoga.
