According to his will, his descendants buried him in laomatang mountain and renamed it "Tanjiashan". the burial method is: dig a deep hole from the hillside to the heart of the mountain, push the coffin into the hole, and then fill the hole with raw earth and stone; then excavate the tomb frame at the corresponding position above the coffin, cultivate three mounds of earth, and erect three bluestone steles, about five feet high and three feet wide, all without words. At the foot of the mountain, he built 60 steps of stone (Tan was 60 years old) to worship the platform in front of the tomb.

Six mysteries in circulation

On the sixth day of the sixth year of Chenghua (1470), on the sixth day of the sixth month of the sixth year of Gengyin, his wife Mao's grandmother was buried to apply the dragon. The earth immortal uttered these four words: "zangong stands on both sides, Wanggong wangmaotian, Haigong takes Shuikou, and Zhonggong moves out." in response to these words, most of Zhonggong's branches move out of the country, rapidly reproducing a very strong Luo's descendants. In order to identify whether it is the direct descendant of Maotian bicai who came to join the family, he revealed six "mysteries" left by his ancestors. Only the orthodox descendants of Luo family in Maotian knew these six mysteries. The two stone arch bridges from Shuikou Temple of Fengxi River to the nunnery Hall of zushidian pass by less than 100 steps apart. It is a mystery that the stone arch bridge has not been destroyed for a long time. (2) three rivers in Hanoi the three stone troughs in the river 20 meters below Shuikou Temple of Fengxi river. During the dry season, the bright river flows down through the three stone troughs, so the mystery of the three rivers in Hanoi comes into being. These are three water conservancy projects built by our ancestors, which are opposite to the direction of Wentian river. They are: the water diversion channel from Fengxi to Wantian irrigation, the water diversion channel from Guanyinge to huanglongwan, and the water diversion channel from baimaochong to laoditang. 4. The stele base that can't be lifted by a thousand people is actually a monument to the public welfare undertakings of the late Qing Dynasty. It engraves "the original Avenue is on the mountain" on the stone wall of the sidewalk beside Shuikou mountain in Maotian. There is a small temple in front of it. Ordinary people can't find it. Let alone a thousand people, it's the stele base that no matter how many people can't lift. Since then, future generations have been spared the pain of mountain climbing. 5. Two feet and one stone located at the gate of Tan Renfeng's father-in-law's former residence, it is composed of a whole stone. When you enter the door and cross the threshold, your two feet still fall on the same stone, hence the name. 6. Raising carp in the courtyard the carved carp in the middle of the stone pavement in the courtyard of Luo's ancestral temple is like a koi wandering in the Bibo pond in the lotus leaf field, lifelike and lifelike. Nowadays, these six riddles have become the characteristic tourist attractions chain of Wentian town.
