Qufu Yanzi Forest

  Introduction

        Situated to the south of Fangshan Mountain, 11 kilometers east of Qufu city, this is the burial site of Yan Hui, a disciple of Confucius, and his descendants. Yan Hui, a gifted and intelligent individual, lived a life of simplicity but was deeply committed to his studies, earning great affection from Confucius. Unfortunately, he passed away at the young age of 32. He was buried to the south of Fangshan Mountain, and later generations of his family were also laid to rest here. Over time, this area has developed into a family cemetery covering more than 180 acres.
