Wuzhen Tomb Introduction: Wuzhen Tomb, a cultural relic protection unit in Zhejiang Province. It is said that when Wu Zhen died, he chose his own tomb site and inscribed his own tombstone. The tomb faces south and the inscription reads "Plum Blossom Monk's Tower". In the thirty-fifth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1607), Xie Yingxiang, the magistrate of Jiashan, and Qian Shisheng, the local gentry, convened to build a stone tomb around Wuzhen. The base of the tomb was octagonal, the walls of the tomb were round, and the tomb was capped with earth. In front of the tomb, there is a seal script monument of Xie Yingxiang, with the inscription "This painting hides the tomb of Wu Zhonggui, a noble scholar." Wu Zhen's self-written tombstone was left in ruins at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Ding Weihou and Xie Bei stand side by side and have now been moved to the exhibition hall. There is a plum blossom spring in front of the tomb, which was lost for a long time and was restored in 1986. The stone well circle is a relic from that time.
