There is a village called Yin Jialin in Dangjiazhuang Town, a western suburb of Jinan, and in traditional Chinese customs, most of the places called "forest" refer to the location of the grave, and this place is no exception, there is such an ancient tomb under the Phoenix Mountain in the north of the village.
This ancient tomb has a great beginning, and the owner of the tomb is Yin Shidan, who was given the "golden top jade burial" by the emperor.
Probably in response to the saying of "golden dome jade burial", the tomb of Yin Shidan has been stolen and excavated twice, and one of the thieves actually dug more than 10 deep holes in the cemetery area, but fortunately it was discovered and stopped by the villagers in time.
This adds some mysterious color to this tomb, and what kind of figure can this Yin Shidan make the emperor give him a "golden dome jade burial"? This "Pavilion Old Pavilion" can illustrate some problems, Yin Shidanguan to Cabinet University Scholar (equivalent to the Prime Minister), then known as "Yin Gelao", posterity called his tomb "Ge Lao Tomb".
Yin Shidan, a native of Licheng, Jinan, was a mid-century scholar of Ming Jiajing, who had been a teacher of Ming Muzong, had been in charge of the Affairs of Hanlin Academy, and was a scholar of Wenyuange University.
After his resignation from his hometown, the learned Yin Shidan was quite famous in the poetry world, and together with the famous scholars of Jinan, Bian Gong, Li Panlong, and Xu Bangcai, he was praised as the "Four Poets of the Calendar".
The "History of Ming" records that in the ninth year of the Ming Dynasty, Yin Shidan died, and the emperor gave him a "golden dome jade burial" with the nickname "Wenzhuang". The cemetery is about 30 acres, with a white jade archway, and the cemetery is full of pines and cypresses.
Only today, more than 400 years later, the tombstones and arches have been smashed, the cemetery is no longer what it used to be, and this stone sheep whose eyes were painted red is said to have been stolen and chased back.
There is a turtle scattered in the cemetery area, and the tombstone is gone.
These stone components are said to be part of the former stone arch.
There is also a tomb on the east side of Yin Shidan's tomb, and it turns out that the tombstone here is Yin Shidan's father, Yin Rulin.
A generation of cabinet scholars, but also the emperor's teacher, this high-powered Jinan celebrity has been with this cypress tree for more than 400 years. (Photo / Shang Shan)
