Tomb of General Long Tianyou

　　The Tomb of General Long Tianyou is located at Die La Tianqiao in Baoji Township. Long Tianyou (1644–1690), of the Yi ethnic group, was a hereditary chieftain who pledged allegiance to the Qing court in the 18th year of Emperor Kangxi’s reign (1679). For his meritorious service in suppressing Wu Sangui, he was granted the title of General. After his death, he was posthumously honored as Duke Guanglu and Left Commander-in-Chief, holding the official rank of First Class. The tomb covers an area of approximately 180 square meters and is circular in shape. It was built in the 30th year of Emperor Kangxi’s reign (1691), facing south and situated to the north, featuring a unique design. The main structure is a four-pillar, three-gate, double-eave archway-style monument, with a flat ridge on the main roof. The tombstone stands 3.6 meters tall, is 5 meters wide, and extends 1.9 meters deep. The central inscription in regular script reads: “The Tomb of the Illustrious Father, General Long, Duke Guanglu, Left Commander-in-Chief, First-Class Official, Grand Pillar of State, and Distinguished General of the Glorious Qing Dynasty.” The other four pillars are inscribed with couplets, adorned with carvings of flowers, plants, and plum blossom meander patterns, all demonstrating exquisite craftsmanship. The tomb, over 300 years old, remains well-preserved and holds significant value for both sightseeing and historical research.
