  Tomb of Li Shijie

  The tomb of Li Shijie is a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit, located in Cheniniba Village, Yuduo Town, 15 kilometers south of Qianxi County. It is one of the representative historical figure tombs in our province, covering an area of more than 2,000 square meters. It is divided into three levels—Heaven, Earth, and Man—totaling five tiers. The Heaven Terrace houses the joint burial tomb of Li Shijie and his wife, Lady Gao; the Earth Terrace features stone sculptures such as stone horses, stone sheep, stone figures, stone tigers, and stone lions; and the Man Terrace includes ornamental columns, imperial sacrificial steles, and an ancestral hall.

  Li Shijie served as Minister of War during the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty and held office for over fifty years. He was renowned across the land for his diligence, integrity, impartial governance, loyalty, literary and martial prowess, care for both military and civilians, emphasis on agricultural education, and the deep respect he earned from his colleagues.

  To the left of the tomb complex lies the scenic Dahaizi Lake, and along its shore there is a cluster of Eastern Han Dynasty tombs. Commonly known as Baxian Baobao, it is said to be the tomb of a King or Queen of the ancient Yelang Kingdom.
