Lu Wang Tomb Park Introduction
The Minglu King Mausoleum is located on the southwestern foothills of Mount Taiwu, backed by the mountain and facing the Shuangru Peak, offering a view of the mainland landscape. The mausoleum is arranged in three terraced levels according to the natural terrain, starting with the archway, followed by the Huanggai Pavilion, which houses a thousand-pound tripod, and finally, the circular new tomb built with stone blocks. The Minglu King Mausoleum was constructed in accordance with the instructions of President Chiang Kai-shek in 1959, and the burial ceremony was held in 1963, with the surrounding environment being tranquil. On August 22, 1959, the National Army discovered an ancient tomb while blasting rocks on the eastern side of Old Jincheng in Kinmen, and found a stone tablet within the stone cave. After interpreting the inscription on the tablet, it was revealed to be the tombstone of the Ming Dynasty's Regent King Lu. The excavation also uncovered the Yongli Tongbao coins and square bricks. The inscription describes the life achievements of King Lu and provides evidence that his death was not as stated in Qing Dynasty records, which claimed he was murdered by Zheng Chenggong, but rather that he died from asthma. This discovery cleared Zheng Chenggong of many years of unfounded accusations. It was also later discovered that Zheng Chenggong passed away after King Lu.
