Shizi Mountain Ancient Tomb Cluster

Shizi Mountain Ancient Tomb Cluster

The Shizi Mountain Ancient Tomb Cluster is a cultural tourism attraction.

The Shizi Mountain Ancient Tomb Cluster is located in Xuanci Village, Yinjiang Town, Haishu District, Ningbo City. In 1973, local villagers discovered two tombs while digging soil, and unearthed two cultural relics—a celadon lidded jar and a bowl—from the entrance of the passage inside one of them. A cultural relics survey conducted in June 1984 revealed that these were all arched brick-chambered tombs with a convex layout. Knife-shaped bricks were found with the inscribed date “Made in the second year of Ningkang” (the second year of Ningkang corresponds to the reign of Emperor Xiaowu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, 375 AD). On both sides of the tombs, numerous other burial sites are faintly visible, covering an area of approximately 1,000 square meters. In May 2005, it was designated as a cultural relic protection site at the Yinzhou District level, and after the 2016 administrative division adjustment of Ningbo City, it came under the jurisdiction of Haishu District.
