Tomb of Chen Qian'erlang

The Tomb of Chen Qian'erlang is a cultural tourism attraction.

The Tomb of Chen Qian'erlang is located within the jurisdiction of Xinping Village Committee, Heyun Town, Qingxin County. It is a Ming Dynasty tomb that was renovated in the 31st year of the Guangxu reign during the Qing Dynasty (1905) and is now well-preserved. The base of the tomb is constructed with a mixture of lime sand and shells. The tomb gate features three engraved couplets in intaglio, which read: “The mountain’s clarity transcends the mundane; the land’s beauty reveals immortal charm,” “All in the court hold the rank of first class; harmony resides in the Three Fields,” and “For millennia, the essence of talent flows continuously; surrounded by four mountains, it nurtures exceptional beings.” Chen Qian'erlang, courtesy name Yimou, was originally from Tingzhou, Shanghang, Fujian. He migrated to areas such as Dongxiangpu and Banpu in Yingde, Guangdong, in the early Yuan Dynasty, and settled in Yuba, Qingyuan, by the mid-Yuan Dynasty. His descendants are distributed across Sihui, Sanshui, and the Bangzai, Liudong, and Hetiandi villages of Binjiang in Qingxin, totaling approximately over 30,000 people. Many of Chen Qian'erlang’s descendants have become accomplished individuals. Four of them—Chen Chaozhuang, Chen Rongguang, Chen Rongjie, and Chen Guangzhen—were awarded the military honor of the sixth rank.
