Tomb of the Wang Shulun Family

The Tomb of the Wang Shulun Family is a cultural heritage site protected by Tianhe District.

The Tomb of the Wang Shulun Family is located on Shuigui Hill in Kemulang Village, Fenghuang Subdistrict. It consists of the joint burial tomb of Wang Shulun and his wife, the joint burial tomb of their son Wang Longxi and his wife, and the joint burial tomb of their grandson Wang Yunye and his wife, totaling six individuals across three generations. The joint tomb of Wang Shulun and his wife was built during the Song Dynasty and relocated here during the Hongzhi era of the Ming Dynasty. All three tombs are earthen-built “armchair-style” tombs, consisting of a protective ridge, mound ring, memorial hall, side slopes, and front terrace, covering a total area of approximately 80.22 square meters. Wang Shulun was the son of Wang Daofu, a loyal and meritorious Grand Secretary of the Southern Song Dynasty. He died with deep sorrow after his father sacrificed his life for the nation at Yamen. His ancestor, Daofu, who died heroically defending the country at Yamen, has been honored as a loyal and martyred official by later generations.
