Tomb of Jia Fuxi

The Tomb of Jia Fuxi is a cultural relic protection unit of Shandong Province.

The Tomb of Jia Fuxi is located within a greenbelt area south of Niuwang Community, Longqiao Subdistrict Office, Yanzhou District. The tomb is circular and built with bluestone. To the north of the tomb stands a stone stele inscribed with the words: "Here lies Jia Fuxi, a master of folk performing arts from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties." Jia Fuxi, whose given name was Yingpeng, also went by the courtesy names Situi and Yafan, and the pseudonyms Fuxi and Danpu. He was also known as Mupi Sanke or Mupi Sanren, born around the 18th year of the Wanli era in the Ming Dynasty (1590) and died in the 13th year of the Kangxi era in the Qing Dynasty (1674), living to over eighty years of age. A scholar well-versed in the classics and history, skilled in poetry, and of a bold and uninhibited nature, he had a deep love for storytelling and ballad performance, and authored works such as "Historical Drum Ballads." In March 2001, the Tomb of Jia Fuxi was announced as a cultural relic protection unit at the Jining City level. Per the Yanzhou Government Document No. 28 (2009), the protected area extends 30 meters outward from the outer edge of the tomb in all directions. The construction control zone extends 50 meters outward from the boundary of the protected area.

Longqiao Subdistrict: Established in June 2008, Longqiao Subdistrict is located in the western urban area of Yanzhou District, situated in the modern new city area. It borders Gulou Subdistrict to the east and neighbors Xinyan Town to the southwest and north. Covering an area of 15.51 square kilometers, it governs 19 villages (residential communities) with a population of 56,000. Legend has it that Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, once took refuge under a bridge in this area while evading pursuers. After he officially ascended the throne, the bridge was named Dragon Bridge, from which the subdistrict derives its name.

In recent years, the subdistrict has actively embraced its scientific positioning as an "administrative and educational center, a hub for commerce, and a livable home for residents..." More details about Longqiao Subdistrict ++
