Luo Wang Tomb Park Introduction
The Ming Lu Wang Tomb is located on the southwestern foothills of Mount Taiwu, backed by the mountain and facing the Shuangru Peak, offering a view of the mainland's mountains and rivers. The tomb is designed in a three-tiered structure according to natural terrain, starting with a grand archway, followed by the Huanggai Pavilion, which houses a heavy cauldron, and finally, the circular new mound constructed from stone blocks. The Ming Lu Wang Tomb was established in 1959 under the instruction of President Chiang Kai-shek, with the burial ceremony held in 1963. The surrounding environment of the cemetery is tranquil. On August 22, 1959, the National Army discovered an ancient tomb while blasting rocks for construction in the old city of Jincheng, Kinmen, and found a stone tablet in a stone cavity. After interpreting the inscription, it was identified as the tomb record of the Lu Wang (Prince of Lu) from the Ming Dynasty. Also unearthed were coins from the Yongli period and square bricks. The inscription details the life of the Lu Wang, confirming that he did not die as stated in the Qing Dynasty records due to a conspiracy by Zheng Chenggong (Koxinga), but rather from asthma. This discovery cleared Zheng Chenggong of years of unjust blame. It was also discovered that Zheng Chenggong died before the Lu Wang.
