Tomb of Dayanhe

　　A county-level key cultural relics protection unit. Located about 1 kilometer north of Fantianjiang Village, Bocun Town, in the mountain fields. Dayanhe (1878–1924) was surnamed Cao, a child bride raised in her husband’s family, an ordinary poor woman from China, and the wet nurse of Ai Qing, a renowned contemporary poet. In 1933, while in prison, Ai Qing wrote his breakthrough work “Dayanhe—My Wet Nurse.” Since then, the name Dayanhe has soared over mountains and rivers, becoming a symbol of Chinese working women and living on in the hearts of millions of readers. The cemetery covers half an acre, and the gravestone is inlaid with a stone tablet inscribed with the words “Tomb of Dayanhe,” personally written by Ai Qing.

　　In May 1992, the Jinhua County People's Government erected a large bluestone poetry stele in front of the tomb. The front is engraved with a line from Ai Qing: “Dayanhe, my wet nurse, I honor you, I love you;” the back bears an inscription written by the famous calligrapher Jiang Dongshu, providing a brief biography of Dayanhe.
