Huanglian Mound

　　Huanglian Mound is located to the west of Huanglian Mound Village, Wangdian Township, south of the county town. It was designated as a county-level cultural heritage site in 1978. The 5th year of the Republic of China (1916) Huaiyang County Annals records: “It is 12 li south of the city. It was named after the former production of huanglian (Coptis chinensis), though some mistakenly associate it with the tomb of Huang Ba.” The mound is currently about 12 meters high, 60 meters long and wide, built from rammed earth and remains relatively well-preserved. In 1970, local residents excavated a royal tomb 0.5 kilometers south of the mound, unearthing one piece of Han dynasty jade burial suit. Most of it was scattered, with only over 20 fragments remaining, which have been collected into the museum collection.
