Tomb of Shi Miyuan, قبر في نينغبو، الصين
The Tomb of Shi Miyuan is a burial site in Ningbo dating to the Song Dynasty and protected as national cultural heritage. It features six terraces built with stacked stones, a central staircase running through the middle, and detailed stone carvings on the tomb door depicting scrolls and panels that reveal artistic styles of the period.
The tomb was built during the Southern Song Dynasty and belonged to a high-ranking official who played a key role in administration during that era. It has endured through centuries and remains one of the few structures from that period to survive largely intact.
The site bears the name of a high-ranking official from the Song Dynasty and is regarded by the community as a symbol of their cultural roots. The place connects the memory of an important administrator with ancestor veneration traditions that run deep in this region.
The site is open to the public and can be visited on foot; it sits in a quiet, tree-shaded area near Daci Temple and the foot of Fuquan Mountain. The grounds are rich with other ancient sites in the immediate surroundings, allowing multiple historical locations to be explored during a single visit.
Many of the elaborate stone carvings mimic wooden structures such as brackets, corner beams, and eaves, revealing the craftsmanship of the artisans who created them. Some of these sculptures are buried beneath grass, but they reveal the scale and importance of the burial site from that distant period.
