Yuyan Ancient Tomb.
Zhong Yuyan's tomb is in Mantou Mountain. The bottom of the mountain is full of plum blossoms, there are no plums on the mountain, there are longan, three Nim and other fruit trees. Most of the people who come here come to see the plum blossoms, not many go up the mountain, the mountain trail is barren, full of leaves.
The mountains are not high. The rocks on the top of the mountain are piled up, as big as a house high and as small as a millstone. There are people standing alone on the high rocks, the barren mountains are lonely, and the weeds are green, which makes people a little trance.
The tomb is on the southwest slope. Buried here, not only Zhong Yuyan, but also his two wives and concubines, several descendants, collectively known as the ancient tomb group. Zhong Yuyan tomb stands alone on the high platform, several meters higher than its tomb, under the high platform is the tomb of two wives and concubines and slightly higher than others, the other is a line of several tombs of six generations of descendants, the inscription shows that the age is the Yuan Dynasty.
The bell tomb seen now is rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty, it is the shape of the common official chair, the tombstone pavilion type, the tombstone is the building type, and there is a small worship platform in front of the stele. Both the ring ridge and the mountain hand have a simple tile-shaped pressure roof, and there are crouching small stone lions as guardian beasts at the corners on both sides of the mountain hands. The stone lion is quite weathered and has become unrecognizable.
Looking at the front of the tomb, I only feel that the world is open, the tall buildings are all on both sides, the middle is narrow and long, there are no tall buildings, the height of the cemetery may only be thirty or forty meters, but it can be seen far away. It is speculated that it is deliberately left empty, far and near, and most of them are inhabited by the descendants of the Zhong family, so the land use can be predetermined.
There is an old vine behind the tomb, as thick as a sea bowl, the rattan body is upside down S-shaped, the coiling dragon wants to stretch, very peculiar. There is decay at the bend of the vine body, a few more vine skins, and the leaves have been all yellow, should be deciduous vines. On the right side of the platform in front of the tomb, there is a green onion tree again. Sannim is very similar to star fruit, the fruit is thinner than star fruit, and the taste is not as sweet as star fruit but sour, so sour, it is the first feeling of eating Sannim. And the good sour and good grandson harmonize, the tomb planted Sanni is a good grandson, and the Zhong family is indeed a hairpin family.
He revered the grave all his life, bowed three times with his palms together, and hurried down the mountain.
