Tomb of Yang Xiong

The Tomb of Yang Xiong is a cultural relic protection unit of Sichuan Province.

Yang Xiong, a renowned literary figure, philosopher, and linguist of the Han Dynasty, is recognized by domestic scholars as a great Confucian on par with Confucius and Mencius. Along with Sima Xiangru, he was famed throughout Shu (modern-day Sichuan) for his literary fu (rhapsodies), and his influence remains widespread in Southeast Asia to this day. Yang Xiong grew up in Pi County, where the ruins of his tomb can now be found in Ziyun Village, You'ai Township, Pi County, serving as a site for later generations to pay their respects. The tomb is a circular earthen mound planted with hundreds of cypress trees, and it has been designated as a municipal-level key cultural relic protection unit of Chengdu. Nearby the tomb lies the site of the "Xizhou Ziyun Pavilion," highly praised by Tang Dynasty literary figure Liu Yuxi in his essay "Inscription of the Humble Room."
