Zhang's name has been circulated among the people, especially in Sichuan. About Zhang's story, people talk more about his killing scenes and cruel character, but few people mention the situation after Zhang's death, and topics like Zhang's tomb are rarely involved.
At that time, Zhang left Chengdu to fight the Qing army, and the troops camped in Fenghuang Mountain in Xichong. The traitor Liu Jinzhong led the Qing army straight into Sichuan. Later, the Qing army met Zhang's army. Under such a sudden attack, Zhang faced an urgent challenge and fought against the Qing army in two ways. However, I never imagined that Jablan, a sharpshooter of the Qing army, actually shot Zhang Zhongxian from behind. 42-year-old Zhang left this world, and the people of Sichuan finally got rid of a murderer.
After Zhang's death, his troops buried him in the hidden place of Phoenix Mountain in order to prevent his body from being discovered by the Qing army, but the Qing army found a place to bury him. Finally, the Qing army beheaded Zhang's body in Chengdu. Therefore, Fenghuang Mountain in Xichong County, Sichuan Province is Zhang's burial place.
Today, there is a grave in Fenghuang Mountain in Xichong County, but no one knows whether Zhang's bones are buried in it. Some people estimate that it may be just a cenotaph of Zhang, or it may be just a symbol. In addition, in Zhangdian, Anhui, there is a place called Hongshanzhai. There are many cliffs and there is a cave on the cliff. It is said that there is a hanging coffin inside, which was once suspected to be the site of a cemetery. No matter where the real bones are buried, sometimes the cemetery is just a symbol. From this perspective, Phoenix Mountain Cemetery is undoubtedly more valuable.
