Tomb of Huang Zongxi

Tomb of Huang Zongxi, Historical tomb in Yuyao, China

The Tomb of Huang Zongxi is a historical burial site in Yuyao with traditional Chinese funerary architecture and ornately carved surfaces. The complex includes stone tablets and detailed carvings that provide information about the philosopher's life and intellectual contributions.

Huang Zongxi died in 1695 and his family built the tomb that year on the southeast slope of Longshan in Hua'an Mountain, Lubu Town, Yuyao, following his testament 'Lizhou Weiming'. Mao Qiling wrote the epitaph and his student Quan Zuwang the spirit-way stele. His father Huang Zunsu, killed by eunuch faction members, lies buried nearby. The tomb was destroyed in 1966 and restored in 1981; in 2006 it was listed as a national key cultural relic site together with Quan Zuwang's and Wan Sitong's tombs and Baiyun Manor.

The burial site reflects local traditions of honoring influential thinkers through its architectural style and carved details. Visitors can see how such places served as permanent memorials to intellectual figures in Chinese society.

The tomb lies on the southeast slope of Longshan in Shanhu'ao, Lubu town, Yuyao, with Huang Zongxi's father Huang Zunsu buried nearby. The 1995 works added a tomb path, a plum garden beside the grave, a lotus pond below the offering platform and a stone pavilion along the path. The site was restored in 1981 after its destruction in 1966.

Huang Zongxi left a will, the "Lizhou Weiming", asking for no coffin, no paper money and no customary sacrifices; friends who wished to mourn were to plant five plum trees on the grave instead. The plum grove beside the tomb and the lotus pond below the offering terrace were laid out in 1995, on the 300th anniversary of his death, following that wish.
