Zhudaoan tomb

From Shi Naian Memorial Hall (now Shijiaqiao, Xinduo Town, Xinghua City, Taizhou), Shi Naian Cemetery is more than ten miles to the west. A brick three-door archway stands in front of the tomb, and a stone carving of "Nai 'an Gongfang" hangs on the middle beam. The mausoleum is hidden among pines and cypresses, and the stone tablet inscribed by Zhao Puchu "Rebuilding Shi Naian's Tomb" stands in front of the tomb. There is also a green island nearby, and a small river flows around it. People look down from a height, but they are like hydrangeas on a lion's plate, so they are commonly called "land of geomantic omen". Zhang Huiren, an associate researcher at the Institute of Literature of Beijing Academy of Social Sciences, said:

On the other side, the white pony is misty, and the lion with the ball is bathed in the morning sunshine.

Nai Anchun lies down calmly and comments are judged by people.
