The Hengshan’ao Tomb Cluster

　　Located in Hengshan’ao Village, east of Hong’an County, this is the burial site of the Geng family from the Ming Dynasty. Covering an area of approximately 200 square meters, there are six surviving tomb steles. The tombs consist of earthen pits, brick-lined chambers, and are topped with earthen mounds. The Geng family was a prominent local clan, among whom Geng Dingxiang was a successful imperial examination candidate (jinshi) who rose to the position of Minister of Revenue. This tomb cluster holds significant value for the study of the region’s historical and cultural heritage. (Fifth Batch)
