Tomb of Shu Yi and Bo Qi

Tomb of Shu Yi and Bo Qi (Third Batch Provincial Protected Site)

Era: Zhou Dynasty

Location: 1 km south of Nanshan Mountain, Changwang Village, Shouyang Township, Yongji City

According to *Records of the Grand Historian: The Biographies of Boyi and Shuqi*: “...Boyi and Shuqi, firm in their principles, refused to eat the grain of the Zhou and lived in seclusion on Shouyang Mountain, surviving on wild ferns until they starved to death.” Two burial mounds remain, each standing 4 meters high and encircled by a perimeter of 45 meters. To the east of the tombs once stood the Two Sages Temple, which has been destroyed. Currently, there are two stone inscriptions: one with the *Song of Picking Ferns* and another with the *Eulogy to Boyi*, as well as the *Stele of the Temple of Boyi and Shuqi*.
