The “Tomb Stele of Chen Tianyou” is located at Xunfenggang, Jinshazhou, Baiyun District, Guangzhou. Originally placed at the center of the enclosing wall of the memorial hall in front of Chen Tianyou’s tomb, the stele was relocated to the Ancestral Hall of the Virtuous Official Chen from the Song Dynasty in Shabei Village for preservation after the tomb was moved to a new site. The stele was carved in the 24th year of the Jiajing reign during the Ming Dynasty, and its body is made of black stone. The inscription includes upper and lower inscriptions, arranged vertically starting from the right, in traditional Chinese characters and carved in intaglio regular script. It is divided into nine lines, comprising a total of 138 characters.

In August 1993, it was designated as part of the Fourth Batch of Cultural Relic Protection Units of Guangzhou Municipality by the Guangzhou Municipal People's Government.
