钱宽夫妇墓, Ancient tomb site in Zhejiang, China.
The Qian Kuan Couple's Tomb consists of two separate burial pits under one mound at the southern foot of Mingtang Mountain in Xishu Village, Jincheng Town, Lin'an District, Hangzhou. Each tomb has a front and rear chamber, multiple side rooms, arched doorways and wall niches, with rear walls sloping inward to form a boat-shaped plan typical of late Tang aristocratic tombs in the Wu Yue region.
Qian Kuan and his wife Shuiqiu were the parents of Qian Liu, founder of the Wuyue Kingdom during the Five Dynasties. Their joint burial, with two separate pits under one mound, was built in the late Tang period. In 2001 the tomb was listed, together with Qian Liu's tomb and Kangling, as part of the Lin'an Wuyue King Tombs in the fifth batch of National Key Cultural Relics Protection Units.
The two tombs form a joint burial with separate pits under one mound, a layout used by late Tang aristocratic families in the Wu Yue region. The grave goods, including white porcelain marked "official" and "new official" and Yue ware secret-colour porcelain with brown cloud motifs, show the family's standing. Qian Kuan and Shuiqiu Shi were the parents of Qian Liu, founder of the Wu Yue kingdom.
The tombs lie at the southern foot of Mingtang Mountain in Xishu Village, Jincheng Town, Lin'an District, Hangzhou. The two burial chambers are separate pits under one mound, so visitors see a single enclosure rather than two distinct entrances. The site is part of the Lin'an Wu-Yue King Tombs protected area, and access follows the arrangements made for that wider heritage zone.
The two tombs are separate pits under one shared mound, each with a boat-shaped rear chamber whose walls slope inward. Among the grave goods, white porcelain marked "官" and "新官" and Yue ware secret-colour porcelain with brown cloud motifs stand out. In 2001 the tombs joined Qian Liu's tomb and Kangling as the Lin'an Wu-Yue royal tombs, a national key cultural relic unit.
