Tomb of Tian Hui (Fourth Batch of Provincial-Level Protected Sites)

Era: Ming Dynasty

Location: Shengshuitang Village, Dalinhe Township, Ying County

Tian Hui served as the Tongzhengshi (Imperial Secretary) during the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty. In his later years at home, he compiled the Yingzhou Annals, commonly known as the “Tian Annals.” According to the epitaph, this tomb site was built by imperial decree. The burial ground covers an area of 26,000 square meters. Due to long-term waterlogging and wind erosion, only six stone statues—figures, horses, and steles—remain exposed above ground, with the rest buried underground.
