Statues of Dongyoudi Tomb, Stone sculptures at ancient burial site in Yunnanyi, China

The Tomb of Dong Youdi in Dongying Village, Xiangyun County, holds 14 bluestone statues arranged in two arcs before the grave: two human figures—a civil official and a military officer—and five animal types (horse, sheep, tiger, dog, lion). The human figures stand 1.8 m tall; the animals range from 0.5 to 1 m. The tomb itself is a Ming brick-chambered structure with a stone tiled-roof-style gate inscribed with Dong's titles.

Dong Youdi, a native of Huangyan in Zhejiang, followed Fu Youde and Lan Yu to conquer Yunnan in 1381 and was granted the title Wulüe Jiangjun. He settled and farmed at Yunchuan, giving the village its name Dongying, and was buried here after his death. In 1876 his seventeenth-generation descendant Dong Youqing repaired the tomb and erected three epitaph tablets. The site was listed as a county-level protected unit in 1988 and as a provincial protected unit on 28 December 2003.

The tomb inscription names Dong Youdi as a Ming military officer, titled Wulüe General and Wuyi Feiqi Wei, who came from Huangyan in Zhejiang and settled here after the 1381 Yunnan campaign; the village of Dongying takes his surname. In 1876 his seventeenth-generation descendant Dong Youqing repaired the grave and set up three inscribed steles recording his deeds.

The tomb and its 14 statues stand in open fields at Xiangshudi, Dongying village, Xiaoqiao committee, Yunnanyi town, Xiangyun county. A 500-metre iron fence with alarm equipment was installed around the site in December 2014. The stone figures are best examined in daylight, since the site has no roofed shelter.

The right-hand stone sheep was stolen on 5 May 2013 and recovered on 1 June 2015. In December 2014 a fence over 500 metres long was built around the site with alarm equipment, because its open-field location made it hard to guard.
