After Chen Yuanyuan's death, he was buried by Wu Sangui's descendants on the Hydrangea Mountain by the Long 'ao River. For fear of being known, he told the Qing court that Chen Yuanyuan's tomb was buried just like ordinary people, and he didn't even dare to erect a monument.
It wasn't until the sixth year of Yongzheng in Qing Dynasty (AD 1728) that the descendants of Wu set up a monument for it, but they dared not write "Chen Yuanyuan's Tomb" on the tombstone, but wrote an inscription that puzzled people. Its text is as follows: therefore, the tomb of Nie's family in Wumen was first seated; Filial piety male Wu Qihua, daughter-in-law Tu Shili, filial piety grandson male Wu Shilong, Wu Shijie, great grandson Wu Dajing, Wu Dachun, filial piety grandson Wu Chaoda, Wu Chaoxuan, Wu Chaokui, Wu Chaozheng, Wu Chaoxi, Wu Chaozhu, Wu Chaoxiang, Wu Chaozhi; Emperor Qing Yongzheng was six years old, and Wushen Zhongyueji Hitachi.
this inscription is unknown to outsiders except the descendants of the Wu family. It was not until the end of the 2th century that the Wu family revealed the mystery.
In p>1983, a local expert in ancient philology named Huang Tousong visited Majia Village for the first time, and a "secret biography" named Wu Yongsong in Majia Village revealed an oral legend about "Chen Yuanyuan Cemetery", which attracted Huang Tousong's attention, so he began to dig deep into the mystery of such legend. However, the Wu family unanimously opposed the disclosure of this history, "fearing being implicated."
After that, Huang Tousong and others dispelled the worries of the descendants of the Wu family, and found the tomb of Chen Yuanyuan, the "old woman Chen", on the mountain to the right of Majia Village. As a "secret messenger", Wu Yongsong revealed the mystery tray. He explained: The whole inscription is in traditional Chinese characters, and there is only one simplified word "Nie". At that time, the traditional word "Nie" was like this. However, the word "Qing" is not used in "Gu Xian Cong", which indicates that Chen Yuanyuan was a princess in the late Ming Dynasty, and "Cong" represents women. "Wumen" implies that she is from Suzhou, which was called Wumen in ancient times, and can also be interpreted as the Wu family. "Nie" is a simplified word that was not used during the Yongzheng period. It was created by the descendants of the Wu family for concealment. Chen Yuanyuan's surname is Xing, followed by his adoptive mother's surname Chen. Xing has a right ear and Chen has a left ear. The "ears" represent Xing and Chen, and the word is double meaning; There are two characters "Jia" on the traditional (double) word "Shuang", Jia Jia is better, and the full moon is spent well, which is a metaphor for "Yuan Yuan". At that time, "seat" was not written in any place like this, but the Wu family wrote it to show that Chen Yuanyuan had a lofty status and was a female in the ancestral hall. Eleven words together are "the tomb of Princess Chen Yuanyuan of Suzhou in Ming Dynasty".
