Ji’an Lying-in-Governance Pavilion

　　According to the “Records of the Grand Historian · Biographies of Ji and Zheng”: “He was then summoned and appointed as prefect of Huaiyang. Ji An bowed in thanks but declined to accept the seal. … The Emperor said: ‘I am now summoning you. However, the officials and people of Huaiyang do not get along well. I simply need your authority to govern while lying down.’ Ji An then took his leave... He governed the commandery as before, and the administration of Huaiyang became clean... He passed away after seven years.” Later generations built a five-bay pavilion here in memory of this upright and renowned official, hanging a plaque inscribed “Lying-in-Governance Pavilion.” The original structure no longer exists. The “Kaifeng Prefecture Records” state: “The tomb is forty li east of Chenzhou.” Today, there is a mound called Ji Tomb, which is Ji An’s grave, located about forty li northeast of the county seat.
