Tomb of King Wusu

The Tomb of King Wusu is the burial site of Wang Shenzhi (also known as Wang Shensuo), one of the “Three Kings of Min’s Founding.” It is the only tomb that remains completely intact and has never been looted.

In the late Tang Dynasty, the three brothers Wang Chao, Wang Shenzhi, and Wang Shenzhong participated in a peasant uprising in Gushi County, Guangzhou, Henan, and in the first year of the Yuanqi era of the Tang Dynasty (885 AD), they led ten thousand peasant rebel troops into Fujian. They first responded to a request from the gentry of Quanzhou to capture the city, removing corrupt officials, and then advanced on Fuzhou, unifying the five prefectures of Fujian and establishing the Min Kingdom. Historically, these three brothers are referred to as

the “Three Kings of Min’s Founding.” During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, while other regions were still plagued by war, Quanzhou, Fuzhou, and even the entire province enjoyed a period of prosperity. The surnames of the Central Plains soldiers who came to Fujian with the “Three Kings” numbered 78, exerting an extremely profound and widespread influence.
