Introduction:

The tomb cluster includes 12 tombs from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Chen Dingyou, his wife, Chen Guodian, Chen Guomo, and their descendants are all buried here. During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, the family flourished and reached its heyday, prompting the renovation of the burial grounds, re-engraving of tombstones, and the addition of red stone “^”-shaped tomb covers.
