Xizhou Tongzhu, National heritage site in Furong Town, China

The Xizhou bronze pillar measures 4 meters in height and weighs 2,500 kilograms, featuring an octagonal hollow shape with inscriptions covering its surface.

Constructed in 940 during the Five Dynasties period, the pillar commemorates a treaty between Emperor Ma Xifan of Chu and Governor Peng Shichou of Xizhou.

The pillar contains over 2,300 characters that document regional relationships and administrative practices in ancient China during the Five Dynasties period.

Visitors can access the site by taking a direct bus from Fenghuang County to Furong Town, with an entrance fee of 5 yuan per person.

The bronze pillar stands as physical evidence of territorial agreements and tax policies between different administrative regions of 10th-century China.
