Han'gou Tomb

Han'gou Tomb

The Han'gou Tomb is a cultural heritage site protected by Xinfu District.

The Han'gou Tomb is located 500 meters west of Han'gou Village, Douluo Town, Xinfu District. The burial site faces south and measures 10 meters east-west and 20 meters north-south. The earthen mound has a diameter of 3 meters and a height of 0.5 meters. Legend has it that the tomb’s occupant was Han Xianzi, also known as Jue, who served as Sima of the State of Jin during the Spring and Autumn period. He was recognized for his contributions in battles against the states of Chu and Qi under Duke Jing of Jin. When the Jin state established the Six Ministers, Jue was one of them, and he, together with Gongsun Chiujiu, rescued the orphan of the Zhao family. In front of the tomb stands a stele erected in the 42nd year of the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty (1777). A drilling survey conducted in 1981 found no burial chamber, leading to the belief that it is a cenotaph. On April 10, 1985, the former People's Government of Xinzhou City (a county-level city at the time) designated it as a municipal-level cultural heritage protection unit.

Later, due to the village’s mountainous location and taking the surname of Han Xianzi, it was renamed Han'gou Village. The history of human habitation in Han'gou Village dates back a long time.
