Tomb of Cangjie in Qishan

      Situated to the south of Xigou Village, Hejiadao, Xiaoziling Township. The tomb is 3 meters high with a circumference of 11 meters. Beside it is a memorial stele erected in the 11th year of the Qianlong reign (1746) by Magistrate Shi Tingdong, along with a pair of stone lions. According to the old records of Qishan, a temple dedicated to Cangjie was first built here during the Tang Dynasty. In the 38th year of the Jiajing reign (1559), due to flooding, the temple was relocated to the east bank of the Hengshui River, at its current site in what is now Cangjie Temple Village. Elderly residents of Xigou Village recount that when the temple was moved, the statue of Cangjie was buried at the original location, akin to a cenotaph. This account seems plausible and is thus recorded for reference.
