The Ju Family Tomb

Located in Quantang Village, Kanjiang Street, Wuxue City, it is the family cemetery of Ju Zheng, a founding hero of the Xinhai Revolution and former President of the Judicial Yuan of the Nationalist Government. The cultural relics consist of steles from the Republican era. The tomb faces east and is oriented westward, measuring 25 meters in length from east to west and 20 meters in width from north to south, covering an area of 500 square meters. The Ju Family Tomb preserves memorial steles inscribed with eulogies for Ju Zheng’s parents by Sun Yat-sen and Lin Sen. The steles are primarily rectangular in shape, all resting on pedestals, and are mostly made of bluestone. The Ju Family Tomb serves as physical material for studying Ju Zheng’s revolutionary activities alongside Sun Yat-sen, as well as for researching the structure, calligraphy styles, and inscriptive literary forms of steles from that period.
