The Small Imperial Mausoleum

　　Located 400 meters northwest of Jiangjiamiao in Gaomiao Village, Yingzhong Town, Zhongxiang City. The tomb’s occupant, Lady Fan, was the wet nurse of Emperor Shizong (the Jiajing Emperor) of the Ming Dynasty and was posthumously granted the title of First-Rank Noblewoman. The mausoleum covers an area of approximately 150,000 square meters. The burial mound has a base diameter of about 20 meters and a remaining height of around 2.5 meters. The spirit way in front of the tomb stretches 250 meters in length, lined symmetrically with pairs of stone lions, sheep, camels, horses, and warriors, as well as a memorial stele, two turtle pedestals, a pair of ornamental columns, and a memorial archway. The inscription on the stele records the imperial decree issued in the 39th year of the Jiajing reign (1560) to commemorate Lady Fan, mother of Lu. (First Batch)
