      Cemetery Complex of the Pei Clan (Third Batch Provincial-Level Protected Site)

      Era: Han, Tang, Song Dynasties

      Address: 300 meters southeast of Cangdi Village, Dongzhen Town, Wenxi County

      According to the 1875–1889 edition of the Wenxi County Annals, “The area of Fenghuang Plateau spans dozens of square miles and served as the ancestral burial ground of the prestigious Pei family from the Three Jin.” The cemetery is distributed across the Fenghuang Plateau, covering an east–west span of 10 meters and a north–south span of 8 kilometers, and remains unexcavated. The burial mounds rise like small hills, numbering over two hundred in total. In 1986, the tomb of Pei Hao, an official of the Ministry of Personnel during the Tang Dynasty, was discovered here. The tomb passage is 39 meters long and features four sky wells. Excavations unearthed more than twenty pieces (some fragmented) of painted pottery figurines depicting soldiers and horses, two porcelain jars, and two epitaph stones.

The Cemetery Complex of the Pei Clan is a provincial-level key cultural relics protection unit.
