Fusu Tomb-Mengtian Tomb

introduce

The Fusu Tomb is located on the north bank of the Dali River about half a kilometer southwest of Suide County. On the top of Shushu Mountain, there are buildings such as the Octagonal Pavilion and the Five Dragon Wall. The tomb of Meng Tian is located on the west bank of the Dali River, on the campus of No. 1 Middle School in Suide County. The Fusu tomb is rectangular, about 30 meters long, 6 meters wide, and 8 meters high. There is a Fusu temple next to the tomb, which is a cultural relic protection unit in Shaanxi Province. The tomb of Mengtian and the tomb of Fusu face each other across the Dali River.

Fusu was the eldest son of Emperor Qin Shihuang. He was virtuous and enlightened, and he was quite popular. Because he disapproved of his father's tyranny, he was sent to Suide to monitor the military affairs of General Meng Tian. Later, he was given death together with Meng Tian and was buried here. Meng Tian was an outstanding general under the first emperor of Qin Dynasty. He once conquered the Huns in the North and built the Great Wall. After Meng Tian's death, the subordinate soldiers built this tomb for him with tears in their war robes and soil.
