Tomb of Lord Chunshen

The Tomb of Lord Chunshen is a cultural tourism attraction.

The tomb of Lord Chunshen (Huang Xie), a nobleman of the late Warring States period in the State of Chu. Known for his erudition and sharp strategic mind, he was as renowned as the other great patrons of scholars in his time — the Qi noble Mengchang Jun, the Zhao noble Pingyuan Jun, and the Wei noble Xinling Jun — collectively known as the Four Lords of the Warring States. He was called Lord Chunshen of Chu. According to the "Fengtai County Annals," which records that “to the west of Kuijiadian in the eastern part of the county lies a large mound (the so-called ‘large mound’ being today’s Shenying Village in Liyingzi Town, Xiejiaji District, Huainan, Anhui), known as the tomb of Huang Xie,” and through subsequent cultural relic surveys, the location of Huang Xie’s tomb was confirmed. In June 1992, the People's Government of Xiejiaji District officially erected a memorial stele at Huang Xie’s tomb, bringing this ancient burial site, long buried in obscurity, back to public view in the era of reform and opening up.
