Tomb of Qiu Jun

　　The Tomb of Qiu Jun is located in Shuitou Village on the outskirts of Haikou, covering a courtyard area of approximately 2,500 square meters. It is a national key cultural relics protection unit.

　　The Tomb of Qiu Jun is built of stone in a circular shape, with its base divided into six tiers and a total of 16 steps. In front of the tomb stands a stone stele about 4.4 meters high, adorned at the top with carvings of two dragons dancing in pairs, and decorated along its left and right edges with patterns such as pine trees, cranes, and auspicious clouds. Approximately 2 meters in front of the stele is a stone altar used for offerings, featuring an incense burner and a stone candle holder. Behind a finely carved stone memorial archway inscribed with the characters “Imperial Decree · Renowned Confucian Statesman” stand two ancient-style stone statues of tomb guardians. About 4 meters in front of the stone guardians is a marble stele, inscribed on the north face with the words “Edict of Imperial Grace,” and on the south face with the text of an imperial edict mourning decree issued by the Ming Emperor. The entire tomb courtyard is elliptical in shape, enclosed by railings on the left, right, and rear sides. Outside the railings lies a lush green hillside area, with a pond on one side. The grassy area in front of the pond is adorned with a pair of stone horses, stone sheep, and stone lions respectively. The pond within the tomb courtyard continuously holds clear spring water that remains full year-round, cool in summer and not cold in winter. With flat fertile fields stretching out in front and verdant hills rising behind, the site exudes an atmosphere that is simple, elegant, solemn, and dignified.
