Tomb of Yin Jifu

The Tomb of Yin Jifu is situated southwest of Huangjiawa Village, approximately 5 kilometers northwest of Nanpi County, and is commonly referred to as the General’s Tomb. The earthen mound stands 1.9 meters high, stretches 5 meters from east to west, and is 2.5 meters wide from north to south. A late Western Zhou bronze “Fenbo Jifu” basin was excavated here, featuring an inscription of 133 characters that describe Yin Jifu’s northern campaigns against the Yanrong and the collection of tributes from the southern Huaiyi tribes. During Emperor Qianlong’s early inspection tours, he ordered rituals to be performed at the tomb and had a stone stele erected (though the stele no longer exists). It is now a key cultural relic protection unit of Hebei Province.
