The Tomb of Zheng Yong-xi, Chinese mandarin tomb in Guangzhen Village, Taiwan.
Description
The Tomb of Zheng Yong-xi sits at the base of Xiang Hill with three tiers of carved sidewalls displaying traditional Chinese motifs. Stone animal figures and decorative columns arranged around the site mark the formal structure of a high official's burial place.
History
Built in 1869, the tomb holds remains of a person who passed the imperial examination and achieved the rank of Jinshi scholar in 1823. This accomplishment was uncommon in Taiwan and represented a significant moment in local Qing administration.
Culture
The stone animal figures and decorative columns here reflect how high-ranking officials were honored in death during the Qing period. These sculpted elements follow patterns that show respect for a person of significant government rank.
Practical
The tomb sits next to Hsinchu Military Cemetery in Guangzhen Village, making it easy to locate and visit. Gaining national monument status in 1985 has ensured the site is maintained and open to the public.
