Tomb of Dao Anren

　　Dao Anren, also known as Xi Anren, courtesy name Peisheng, was a Dai ethnic who was born in Yingjiang County in 1872. At the age of nineteen, he inherited the position as the 23rd Tusi (hereditary tribal head) of Gan崖. During his tenure, he fought against British invaders for eight years to defend the territory, promoted new education, developed ethnic industries, reformed the Dai script, established new-style schools, founded factories, and opened a silver bank. In 1906, he went to study in Japan, joined the Tongmenghui (Chinese Revolutionary Alliance), and upon returning to China, was appointed as the head of the Gan崖 branch. He sold his family assets to support the revolution.

　　He planned the uprising in western Yunnan according to the "Revolutionary Strategy." In 1911, he participated in leading the September 6th Tengyue Uprising and was elected as the Second Military Governor of the Military Government. In 1921, he was framed and secretly arrested. He was later released from prison with the help of Sun Yat-sen, Huang Xing, and Song Jiaoren, and was awarded the rank of Lieutenant General. He passed away in Beijing in March 1913 due to illness despite medical treatment, at the age of 41.

　　He was posthumously honored with the rank of General. His coffin was returned to his hometown and buried on Phoenix Mountain in Xincheng Township, Yingjiang County. The tomb was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution and was rebuilt in 1994 with funding from the provincial government. On July 19, 1989, it was listed as a cultural relic protection unit of Dehong Prefecture, and in November 1993, it was announced as part of the fourth batch of cultural relic protection units in Yunnan Province.
