Shi Nai'an's Tomb

　　   Shi Nai'an's Tomb is located 150 meters northeast of Shijiaqiao in Xinduo Town, Xinghua. Centered around Shi Nai'an’s grave, the tomb complex displays the Shi family genealogy, various cultural relics related to Shi Nai'an and his descendants, as well as different editions and materials about the novel "Water Margin." Shi Nai'an (1296–1370) was a novelist from the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties and the author of "Water Margin." He died in Huai'an, and his grandson Shuyuan buried him here according to his wishes.

　　   The grave site is surrounded by water on all sides. The tomb itself is a circular earthen mound, 3.5 meters high and 4.5 meters in diameter. A stone tablet inscribed with “Tomb of the Great Literary Master Shi Nai'an” stands in front, measuring 1.4 meters in height and 0.4 meters in width, and is preceded by a three-arch brick memorial archway. To the southeast lies the Shi Nai'an Cultural Relics Exhibition Room. Within the garden is also a stele engraved with Zhao Puchu’s “Record of the Reconstruction of Shi Nai'an’s Tomb.”
