Tomb of Zhu Sheng
Zhu Sheng's tomb is located in the north of wenqugou in the east of nanlonggang village, beilonggang Town, Yandu District. It has a history of more than 600 years. The original tomb is a cone-shaped mound, 5.5 meters high and 10.5 meters in diameter at the bottom. There are two parallel streamers (called streamers) on the north side of the tomb. They are actually two long earthen polders, which were leveled during the cultural revolution. Each one is two Zhang wide and 30 Zhang long. The original tomb covers an area of more than 100 square meters Square meters. In June 1999, it was listed as a cultural relic protection unit at the county level by the people's Government of Yandu District.

The municipal cultural and Museum Department, Yandu District government and representatives of Zhu's descendants held a grand unveiling ceremony in front of Zhu Sheng's tomb. The completed Tomb of Zhu Sheng is 7.2 meters high, implying that Zhu Sheng died in 1370 at the age of 72. The diameter of the tomb is 13.70 meters, implying that Zhu Sheng died in 1370. The total height of the tombstone is 5.8 meters, implying that Zhu Sheng entered the "nine character strategy" to Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, when he was 58 years old. The main body of the tombstone is white jade, which means that Zhu Sheng's life was indifferent to fame and wealth. The front of the tombstone is engraved with the words "Tomb of Zhu Shengzhi, an academician of the Ming Dynasty Imperial Academy", and the back is engraved with more than 300 words about Zhu Sheng's life.

The wall stack is built above the external wall of the tomb, which means "building a high wall" in jiuyance. On the side of the tomb, there are steles of "building a high wall, accumulating grain widely and slowly becoming king". The construction area of the cemetery is more than 700 square meters.
