The Tomb of Liang Gangan in Liangcuo

The tomb of Liang Gangan, a "February 7th" martyr, is located in Chiqian Natural Village, Liangcuo Village, Chengmen Town, Cangshan District, Fuzhou City. After Liang Gangan's sacrifice, his body was secretly transported back to his hometown and was initially buried at the foot of Liangcuo Mountain. In 1965, it was reinterred here. The tomb faces southeast and covers an area of about 600 square meters. It has a ruyi (scepter) shape and consists of three terraced platforms. The mound and platforms are built with lime-soil mixture and surrounded by a stone wall. The tomb is 9.85 meters wide and 16.5 meters deep. The mound is cylindrical, 0.63 meters high and 0.70 meters in diameter. In front of the mound stands a granite tombstone that is 2.4 meters high and 0.64 meters wide. The tombstone features a high-relief five-pointed star and bears the inscription in intaglio script: “Tomb of Comrade Liang Gangan, Martyr of the ‘February 7th’ Incident.” The calligraphy is regular script. On both sides of the tombstone are two stone screens, beside which stand a pair of ornamental columns, each topped with a spherical finial. In front of the first terrace is a horizontal screen, with an ornamental column on each side, each 1 meter high. The front side of the second terrace features a pair of drum-shaped stones with carvings of fish and birds on the drum surfaces. The center of the third terrace holds an offering table. In December 1992, it was designated as a district-level cultural relic protection unit. This tomb is of certain typological significance, providing physical reference for the study of modern tomb structures and the historical traces of notable figures in Cangshan District.
