Tomb of the Ying Family

Tomb of the Ying Family

　　The Tomb of the Ying Family is situated at the northeast corner of Wangzhongzi Village, Gaosi Town. It is the burial place of Ying and Ying Shao from the late Eastern Han Dynasty. The tomb mound is a conical earthen structure, standing 2.7 meters high, 18 meters wide from east to west, and 19 meters long from north to south, covering an area of 342 square meters. Ying , one of the "Seven Masters of Jian'an" during the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Ying Shao, a five-generation prefect known for writing the Fengsu Tongyi, are both buried here, giving rise to the term "a cluster of Ying tombs." Originally, there were three tombs aligned from east to west. In 1958, local residents excavated the two western tombs and discovered that their burial chambers featured stone coffins adorned with murals; those coffins were later burned to make lime. Today, the Tomb of the Ying Family is the only surviving one among the three. It has been designated as a county-level cultural relics protection unit by the People's Government of Xiangcheng City.
