Zhukou Mingning King Temple - Huashan Hall Introduction
The Tomb of Prince Ningjing is located in Hunei Township, Hunei Village, and is designated as a national historic site of level three. Its main entrance is designed in the form of an archway. Prince Ningjing was a descendant of the ninth grandson of the Hongwu Emperor of the Ming dynasty, the Prince of Liao. In the 37th year of the Yongli reign, Zheng Chenggong surrendered to the Qing dynasty, and Prince Ningjing committed suicide. The local people admired his loyalty and buried him alongside his wife, Lady Luo, in the shed forest of Hunei Village, constructing over a hundred fake tombs to confuse the Qing troops searching for him. It was not until the 26th year of the Republic of China that the true tomb was discovered, and after the restoration, a monument was erected. The main sloping path through the Ming Ningjing Tomb area divides the cemetery into two parts, with a stone tablet marking "Tomb of Prince Ningjing" that introduces the life of Prince Ningjing. On both the left and right side of the tomb are stone lions; the right side features a garden landscape with a stone water pool and an octagonal pavilion above it. The square in front of the tomb is shaded by two century-old banyan trees, creating a remarkable scene, while the surroundings of the tomb are landscaped with pools, pavilions, and an abundance of flowering plants, enhancing the tranquility and neatness of the cemetery.
