Tomb of Bi Wei

Tomb of Bi Wei

The Tomb of Bi Wei is a cultural relic protection site under the jurisdiction of Xinfu District.

The Tomb of Bi Wei is located approximately 200 meters northwest of Shuangbao Village, Ziyi Township, Xinfu District. The tomb’s occupant, Bi Wei, lived during an unknown period and held the official rank of Vice Minister of Revenue. The tomb faces south and is oriented north, measuring 10 meters east-west and 20 meters north-south, covering an area of 200 square meters. Only a small portion of the earthen mound remains, as it has been largely leveled. Within the tomb area, there is a stele from the 11th year of the Yuandade era (1307), known as the “Bi Gong Tomb Relocation Stele,” indicating that this is a Yuan Dynasty tomb site. On April 10, 1985, the former People's Government of Xinzhou City (county-level city) designated it as a municipal-level cultural relics protection unit.
