The Historical Evolution of Chen Hugong's Tomb

When Chen Hugong died, it was the age of the grave, not the age of the grave. However, for princes and highly respected civil and military ministers, a worship hall can be built on the grave. Therefore, Chen Hugong's mausoleum was built under water, and the worship hall built on the ground has long since ceased to exist. Archaeologists found pottery fragments from the Western Zhou Dynasty and slate from the Warring States Period here, which confirmed the construction of Chen Hugong Tomb and Chen Hugong Temple. Wang, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, wrote in his poem: "Clever cast iron gathers underwater, leaving only jade leaves to shine on the world." According to historical records, the tomb was cast with iron juice, so it is also called Gongtie Tomb. The present Gong Tie Tomb was donated by Mr. Chen Yonghe, a famous Singaporean entrepreneur, on 1995, but the color of the iron tomb is taupe brick wall, like iron. The above is inscribed by Mr. Chen, a contemporary calligrapher in China. There are donation monuments on both sides.
