Why is Su Xiaoxiao's tomb in the West Lake?

Su Xiaoxiao's tomb is in the West Lake because Su Xiaoxiao's parents died when he was a child, and he has been living in his aunt's house near Xiqiao Bridge in Qiantang. Although she is a geisha, but unwilling to degenerate, she is eager for sincere love. She sponsored Baoren, who is poor, to try in Beijing. But the next year she died of illness. At this time, when Baoren was the top scholar and made a special trip to Qiantang to reward him, he caught up with her funeral. Hearing Su Xiaoxiao's last wish, he chose the site to build a tomb on the north bank of Xiling Bridge, and erected a monument in front of the tomb: Su Xiaoxiao Tomb in Qiantang.

Su Xiaoxiao's Tomb, namely the Mu Cai Pavilion, is located near Xiling Bridge in West Lake, Hangzhou. Su Xiaoxiao was a geisha in the Southern Qi Dynasty (479 ~ 502). Who lives in Qiantang (now Hangzhou, Zhejiang). She was beautiful at that time because of her beautiful appearance and superior talent. He used to ride an oil-filled car, died of hemoptysis at the age of 23, and was finally buried at Xiling Wharf. Later generations built a wooden pavilion on the tomb to shelter the mourners from the wind and rain. After several times of destruction, the tomb pavilion was destroyed on the eve of the revolution. In 2004, after fierce debate among citizens, the Hangzhou Municipal Government decided to rebuild Su Xiaoxiao's tomb. Meng, a landscape expert, rebuilt the mausoleum after carefully considering the old photos. The rebuilt tomb of Su Xiaoxiao is carved with Taishun bluestone, supported by six square columns, with a height of 3. 15m, a tomb diameter of 2.6m and a circle height of 0.9m The rebuilt wooden painted pavilion consists of 12 couplets, inscribed by Shen Peng, Ma Shixiao, Huang Wenzhong and other calligraphers 12.
