Tomb of Shu Yi and Bo Qi (Third Batch Provincial Protection)
Era: Zhou Dynasty
Location: 1 km south of Nanshan, Changwang Village, Shouyang Township, Yongji City
According to "Biographies of Boyi and Shuqi" in Records of the Grand Historian: "...Boyi and Shuqi, out of loyalty and righteousness, refused to eat the grain of the Zhou dynasty, and lived in seclusion on Shouyang Mountain, surviving on wild ferns, until they eventually starved to death." There are currently two burial mounds, each 4 meters high with a circumference of 45 meters. To the east of the tombs, there used to be the Temple of the Two Sages, which has been destroyed. Currently, there are two stone tablets inscribed with "Song of Picking Ferns" and "Ode to Boyi," as well as the "Temple Tablet of Boyi and Shuqi."
