Yongzhou's Tomb of Emperor Shun is not only a sacred place to commemorate the Chinese ancestor Emperor Shun, but also an important carrier of the profound culture of Emperor Shun. According to records, the Tomb of Emperor Shun dates back to the era of Emperor Yu of the Xia dynasty, while the temple was first built in the 26th year of the Kaiyuan era of the Tang dynasty. After a thousand years of wind and rain, it has witnessed the long history of the Chinese nation. Inside the mausoleum area, we are deeply attracted by the thousand-year-old stories of Emperor Shun. Among them, the tragic love story of Emperor Shun and his two consorts—the two ladies of Xiao and Xiang (E Huang and Nü Ying)—is particularly touching. It is said that when the two consorts heard of Emperor Shun's demise at Mount Jiuyi, they searched for him along the river, weeping day and night. Their tears fell upon the bamboo, creating mottled bamboo with spots all over, leaving behind the beautiful legend of 'a thousand drops of tears on a single bamboo'. Strolling through the spacious and tidy scenic area, we admire the vast bamboo forests and feel the ancient and poignant emotional heritage. In addition, the Tomb of Emperor Shun scenic area is equipped with complete tourist facilities, including a majestic and spectacular sacrificial square, a meticulously crafted stone stele corridor, an exhibition hall displaying the life and deeds of Emperor Shun, and a cultural gallery for visitors to rest.
