Liu Wang Cemetery Introduction
The Ming Lu Wang Tomb is located at the southwestern foot of Mount Taiwu, backed by the mountain and facing Shuangru Peak, offering a view of the mainland's landscape. It is built in a three-tiered structure according to the natural terrain, starting with an archway, followed by the Huanggai Pavilion, which houses a stone tripod, and finally leading to a circular new mound constructed of stones. The Ming Lu Wang Tomb was built in 1959 under the instruction of President Chiang Kai-shek, with the burial ceremony held in 1963. The surrounding environment of the tomb is serene and tranquil. On August 22, 1959, the Nationalist Army discovered an ancient tomb while blasting for stone in Jincheng, Kinmen. A stone tablet was found in the stone chamber. After interpreting the inscription, it was identified as the burial record of the Duke of Lu from the Ming Dynasty. Other artifacts unearthed included Yongli coins and square bricks. The inscription details the life of the Duke of Lu, providing evidence that his death was not as mentioned in Qing court records, which claimed he was murdered by Zheng Chenggong, but rather he died of asthma. This discovery cleared Zheng Chenggong of prolonged unjust accusations. It was also revealed that Zheng Chenggong passed away before the Duke of Lu.
