Officials, nobles, and wealthy businessmen in the past dynasties all superstitiously believe that Mang Mountain is a geomantic treasure land. , traveled thousands of miles, and was buried in Beimang, so there is a popular saying among the people that "born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, buried in Beimang". There are many tombs of wealthy people in Beimang, which has led to the prevalence of tomb robbers. Tomb robbers are more focused on robbing burial objects, so no one cares about the bulky memorial stones, and most of them are lost among the people. When the Longhai Railway was built in the late Qing Dynasty, it took the route from the foot of Mang Mountain, and the excavated stone stones were abandoned in private farmhouses. After Zhang Fang saw it, he searched extensively for it, built a place for it, and kept it properly. Because he had reached an agreement with Yu Youren in advance, Wei Zhi belonged to him and Tang Zhi belonged to Zhang, making Qian Tang Zhi Zhai the best collection of Tang Zhi in the country.
