The tomb of Xu Wei (Xu Wenchang).

The tomb of Xu Wei (Xu Wenchang) is located at the northeast foot of Jiangpo Mountain, Limuzha Village, Lanting Street, Keqiao District, Shaoxing City. It is the tomb of the Ming Dynasty painter Xu Wei, adjacent to the Yingshan King's Tomb of the Yue State. In 2006, it was listed as the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units together with the Qingteng Book House in Shaoxing City. The existing tomb of Xu Wei was restored in 1989 according to the original appearance. The tomb is square, stacked with stone strips, covered with loess, and a tombstone is erected in front. The tombstone is engraved with six large characters of "Ming Xu Wenchang's Tomb" written by Sha Menghai. There are tombs of Xu Wei's parents, brothers and sisters-in-law, and daughter-in-law next to it. There is also a Xu Wei Memorial Hall in the cemetery, which displays some portraits, textual materials and Xu Wei's works. There is a couplet hanging at the door, "A liver and gallbladder worry about the world, and a full belly of latitude and longitude pass through the ancient and modern times." This is a summary of Xu Wei's life. Xu Wei (1521-1593), initially named Wenqing, later changed to Wenchang, nicknamed Tianchi Mountain Man, or Qingteng Old Man, Goose Nose Mountain Man, etc., was a Ming Dynasty literary, painter, and military strategist.
