Introduction to the Tomb of Confucius: The Tomb of Confucius is located in the center of Confucius Forest. This tomb looks like a raised horse's back, which is called Ma Xiefeng. The tomb is surrounded by a red wall, with a circumference of several miles. In front of the tomb is a huge tomb seal inscribed with the words "Tomb of the Most Holy Saint Wenxuan of Dacheng", written by Huang Yangzheng in the eighth year of Zhengtong in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1443). To the east of Confucius's tomb is the tomb of his son Kong Li, and to the south is the tomb of his grandson Kong Ji. This kind of tomb layout is called carrying children and embracing grandchildren.
