Joint Tomb of Mr. and Mrs. Liang Dongyuan

The joint tomb of Mr. and Mrs. Liang Dongyuan is a cultural heritage site protected by Tianhe District.

The joint tomb of Mr. and Mrs. Liang Dongyuan is located on a hillside slightly northwest of Huluyazui in Cencun, Changxing Subdistrict. It was built during the Ming Dynasty. The tomb faces northeast and is situated southwest, featuring a semicircular protective ridge, two-tiered platforms, and is constructed from brick, lime, and sand. Liang Dongyuan was a scholar (yi xiang sheng) during the Ming Dynasty and the fifth-generation ancestor of the Liang family from Xicun in Liede. He once ran a private school in Cencun and was deeply beloved by his students. After his passing, some students, moved by the depth of his educational dedication, donated the land for his tomb. Therefore, this tomb is not only the burial site of a clan ancestor but also holds significant meaning as a symbol of respect for teachers and education.
