Tomb of Bi Jiaming

Tomb of Bi Jiaming

The Tomb of Bi Jiaming is a cultural relic protection unit of Zhejiang Province.

The Tomb of Bi Jiaming is located in Lanjiang Subdistrict, Lanxi City, dating back to the Ming Dynasty.

The site selection of the ancient tomb is meticulous, conforming to the feng shui principles of ancient tomb architecture. It has an open ceremonial space in the front, complemented by a crescent pond and a well, facing the Lan River and backed by hills. The tomb itself lies within a mountain hollow — a place ideal for harnessing wind and collecting water, with water features in front and rocky terrain behind. Qian Zhenxiang said this ancient tomb has not undergone major renovations, preserving authentic historical elements. Notably, the hip-and-gable roof stone pavilion is uniquely designed, exhibiting distinct architectural features of the Ming Dynasty.

On January 13, 2017, it was designated as part of the seventh batch of Cultural Relic Protection Units of Zhejiang Province by the Zhejiang Provincial People's Government.
