In Nanlong Village, Didu Town, Jieyang Airport District, located in the southern foothills of Sangpu Mountain, there is the tomb of a Song Dynasty Yinqing Guanglu Doctor. Under the guidance of Chen Zuohong and Peng Miaoyan, well-known scholars of literature and history in Jieyang, this reporter went to visit.
Mon Heng Bridge on the Great King's Pit.
Nanlong Village has a mountain stream that flows from north to south, and the Chaoshan people call the mountain stream "pit", and this stream is called "Dawangkeng" by the villagers. Drive upstream along the Great King's Pit to a small, lush hill when a small stone bridge appears above the stream. The reporter got out of the car, walked to the stone bridge to look down, and was surprised to find that this section of the riverbed was not natural, and there were neatly paved stone slabs hidden under the rushing stream.
The riverbed under the Monchen Bridge is paved with stone slabs.
"The bridge is called 'Mon Heng Bridge', and the original stone carving of the name of the bridge is no longer there. The small hill is called 'Centipede Mountain', and on the hill sits the tomb of Lin Shaojian, the grand master of Song Yinqing Guanglu. Chen Zuohong told reporters.
Typical representative of Chaoshan Song tombs
According to Chen Zuohong, although Centipede Mountain is only a small hill, it contains rich cultural relics: on the southwest slope of the mountain, there are Neolithic sites, more than ten pieces of pottery have been excavated; the western slope has found "a pit tomb with more funerary utensils (11 pieces of pottery unearthed) in Jieyang County during the same period (Tang Dynasty);and the most precious relics are the tomb of Lin Shaojian on the mountain, and the "Mengheng Bridge" is one of the auxiliary buildings leading to the tomb.
Walking across the Mengheng Bridge, climbing the stone steps made of carved mountain rocks, and walking along the winding mountain path, it was not long before Lin Shaojian's tomb suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.
The Monchen Bridge points to the stone steps.
Lin Shaojian's tomb is located in the east of centipede mountain, sitting west to east, covering an area of about 200 square meters, is a husband and wife burial tomb. According to Chen Zuohong, the tomb was originally built in the first year of Song Jiading (1208), and was rebuilt after the Ming Dynasty, with the traditional tomb style of "horseshoe three-level three-pendulum kick", which is made of stone slabs and shell ash mixed, and the scale is the largest of several Song tombs stored in Sangpu Mountain, and its integrity is also good, preserving a wealth of historical information on the establishment of Ancient Tombs of Song and Ming.

The tomb reflects the concept of "Chongyou" in the Song Dynasty, with the inscription on the right side of the inscription "Yinqing Guanglu Doctor Serving the Royal Forest Gong", and on the left is "Lady Lü of the Imperial Seal of Anguo". The words "Song" and "Tomb" are in the highest and lowest positions in the middle of the two lines of inscriptions, respectively.

On both sides of the tomb, a pair of cats are set up on the pipe pillars, and the inscriptions on the pipe pillars are difficult to identify because of their age.
In addition, there are stone tablets on the south side of the tomb dedicated to the "God of the Later Earth".

Standing in the open space in front of the ancient tomb, the breeze is gentle, looking up, the distant mountains are stacked with greenery, the streams are babbling, and the idyllic scenery of the plains in the lower reaches of the Rong River can be seen, and people can't help but wonder: Lin Shaojian, who is he?
A historical figure who has done a great deal of good deeds
Lin Shaojian left to the present people not only a precious Song tomb, but also a cultural wealth of extensive charity.
According to Peng Miaoyan, Lin Shaojian was one of the 15 Song Dynasty scholars in the old Jieyang County, and the historical books such as the Chaozhou Fuzhi, the Haiyang County Chronicle, and the Jieyang County Chronicle all recorded the good deeds of this cultural celebrity.
Qianlong Zhou Shuoxun's "Chronicle of Chaozhou Fu" of the "Character History • Overseas Chinese Yu" Ji Yun: Lin Shaojian, zi minwang, Fuzhou people. Shaoxing Jia Shu Jinshi, Worship Attendant Yushi, Li Yin Qing Guanglu Doctor, Moving Home Tide of Haiyang. In the first year of the Kai jubilee, 6,840 acres of Shi Tian entered the Kaiyuan Temple. Zhao Shiyi, the governor of Zhijun Prefecture, played the song and built a shrine in this temple to worship him.
Qianlong's Jieyang County Chronicle, Volume V, "Electoral History", lists Lin Shaojian as a jinshi of Song Shaoxing's twenty-four years of Jia Shu Zhang Xiaoxiang's list, and attaches his resume.
The Yongzheng edition of the Jieyang County Chronicle records Lin Shaojian's resume and position rank in volume 5 of the "Keju Recommendation".
The Guangxu edition of the Haiyang County Chronicle, volume 42, "Liechuan" details: Lin Shaojian, Zi Minwang, native of Fuzhou, Song Shaoxing Jia Shu Jinshi, Worship Yushi, Liguan Yinqing Guanglu Doctor, Moving Home Tide, And Fengqi of Chikumu Yi. The family is rich in wealth, and the charity is not stingy. In the first year of the Jubilee, he entered the Kaiyuan Temple with the Song Ningzong Wanshou Dragon Tablet and gave a blessing at the age of the year, and 6,840 acres of land in Haiyang and Tai Po were blessed and supported by monks. The county sheriff Zhao Shi Yi heard about it, and was ordered to build a shrine at the temple.
It can be seen from the historical records that after Lin Shaojian came to Chaoshan, he set up a longevity dragon plate dedicated to Song Ningzong at the Kaiyuan Temple in Chaozhou in the first year of the Kaixi Of the Southern Song Dynasty (1205 AD), and donated 6840 mu of land property from Haiyang and Tai Po to the Kaiyuan Temple for the purpose of offering the emperor's tablet and supporting the monks, embodying the Confucian style of "living in the temple is worrying about the people, and being far away from the rivers and lakes is worried about the king".
Since then, Chaoshan magistrates have gone to kaiyuan Temple every year on the occasion of the emperor's birthday to pray and pray, generation after generation, until the second year of Qing Guangxu (1876) built a new Wanshou Palace in Dongfu Lane, and the blessing exhibition ceremony was moved to the Wanshou Palace. As a result, the financial resources of the Kaiyuan Temple increased greatly, and the incense became more abundant, consolidating its position as the first brake of Chaoshan Province, and Lin Shaojian gong also enjoyed the treatment of entering the Kaiyuan Temple.
According to relevant information, Lin Shaojian died at the age of seventy-eight on the seventh day of the first month of March in the first year of Jiading (1208 AD), and his wife Lü Shi was born in the second year of Shaoxing (1132 AD) and died on the second day of the first month of November in the first year of the Kai jubilee (1205 AD) at the age of seventy-four. In the northeast of the main hall of Chaozhou Kaiyuan Temple, there is the shrine of Shaojian Gong and his wife Lü's tablet, and on the day of the death of Lin Shaojian and his wife, Kaiyuan Temple routinely sets up sacrifices.
Peng Miaoyan pointed out that in ancient times, Buddhist temples undertook part of the social function of charity and relief, and Lin Shaojian's kind and righteous deeds of donating land for Buddhist temples have also been inherited and carried forward by future generations. Zhou Shuoxun's "Chronicle of Chaozhou Fu" records that Sun Hongyi, Jianzhou Xuezheng, jianlin temple, more than 680 mu of temple field; Sun Xun, Yuanchaozhou Road Xuezheng, rebuilt Kaiyuan Temple; Sun Xun, Yuan Huangqing Xieyuan, to Zheng Noon (that is, to the fifth year of Zheng) cut more than 250 mu of land into the Mangling Bitter Bamboo Courtyard, for Shao to hold the tomb of the assets; Sun Chong, Wan Li Gongsheng, divided the ancestors of the Kaiyuan Temple field more than 900 acres, into the Wanshou Palace for incense.
"It can be seen from the literature that as a celebrity in the ancient history of Jieyang, Lin Shaojian's historical achievements and contributions lie in allocating a huge amount of land to Chaozhou Kaiyuan Temple as a temple field to help support the monks, maintain the history of the temple, and let this kind of good deed be passed on by future generations and continue for hundreds of years, which has a profound impact on the formation of the tradition of the hipsters who are enthusiastic about accumulating virtue and doing good. It can be seen that Lin Shaojian is a historical figure worth commemorating. Peng Miaoyan said.
Lin Shaojian's descendants told reporters that they also heard a proverb that the villagers have passed down to this day in Nanlong Village:
"Thousands of fields and thousands of lands are given to Kaiyuan, and the descendants and monks eat no bowl of '奄' (Chaoshan dialect refers to rice soup)." This means that Lin Shaojian donated tens of millions of acres of land to the Kaiyuan Temple, but when his descendants encountered famine, they could not ask the monk for a bowl of rice soup to drink.
This village proverb is likely to be the origin of the Chaoshan proverb "Qianyin Sheluo'an, A monk begged for no bowl", which means "donate money to the temple, but you can't get a bowl of rice soup with the monk." The pungent irony of the proverb highlights the wisdom and humor of the working people of Chaoshan and makes people can't help but be amused.
"Lin Shaojian's tomb is not only the tomb of Jieyang historical celebrities, but also a representative of the typical ancient tomb of the Song Dynasty, and the cultural connotations of the two aspects make it have high cultural relics value." Therefore, the relevant cultural relics should be properly protected to show respect for the ancestors of Jieyang and the history and culture. Chen Zuohong said.
At present, Lin Shaojian's tomb is applying for a cultural relics protection unit in Jieyang City.
