Tomb of Huang Gan

Also known as the Tomb of Huang Gan (黄榦), it is located in Jiangnanzhu Village, Shoushan Township, Jin'an District, Fuzhou City, Fujian Province. Originally built during the Southern Song Dynasty, it was renovated in the ninth year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty (1883). The tomb has a "wind" character-shaped layout when viewed from above, facing west, and was originally constructed with lime-soil mixture. The gravestone features regular script that reads "Tomb of Master Huang Mianzhai of the Song Dynasty." There are four tiers of terrace in front of the grave mound.

In 2003, his descendants funded the reconstruction of the tomb using marble, and expanded the cemetery area by building a mountain gate, setting up a stele corridor, and surrounding it with walls.

Huang Gan was both a disciple and son-in-law of Zhu Xi, the master of Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty. It is recorded that when Zhu Xi was critically ill, he entrusted his writings to Huang Gan and wrote to him with his final words: “The future of my teachings rests with you. I have no regrets.”
