Brief introduction to the owner of the tomb

Shi Lang (1621-1696), a native of Yakou in Jinjiang, was named zunhou and Zhuogong. Zheng Chenggong, the former minister, later rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. He has a queer appearance, is brave, is good at leading troops, and "learns to do things on the sea". He is a general with strategic vision. After Zheng Chenggong died of illness in Taiwan, Shi Lang strongly advocated the recovery of Taiwan Island in the Qing Dynasty, denouncing the fallacy of abandoning Taiwan and leading the army to cross the sea to recover Taiwan. Shi Lang contributed to the reunification of the motherland, so he was honored as "Marquis of Jinghai".

In 1696, Shi Lang died in office. In recognition of his merits, the Qing government built the ancestral temple in his hometown (Yakou village on the Bank of Shenhu Bay in Jinjiang City). The ancestral temple was rebuilt by later generations and has been well preserved today.
