Lu Wang Tomb Park Introduction
The Minglu Wang Tomb is located at the southwest foothills of Mount Taiwu, backed by the mountain and facing the Shuangru Peak, offering a view of the mainland's landscapes. It is designed in a three-tiered structure according to the natural terrain, featuring a ceremonial archway, followed by the Huanggai Pavilion, which houses a heavy ding (bronze vessel), and finally, one sees the circular new tomb built of stone blocks. The Minglu Wang Tomb was established in 1959 under the instructions of President Chiang Kai-shek, with the burial ceremony held in 1963. The surrounding environment of the cemetery is tranquil. On August 22, 1959, while the National Army was blasting mountains for stone extraction in the old Jinmen city, they discovered an ancient tomb and found a stone tablet within the stone cave. After interpreting the inscription, it was identified as the tomb inscription of Prince Lu, the regent of the Ming dynasty. Among the artifacts unearthed were Yongli Tongbao coins and square bricks. The inscription details Prince Lu's life events and also proves that he did not die as recorded in Qing Dynasty documents due to betrayal by Zheng Chenggong, but instead due to a respiratory illness. This discovery cleared Zheng Chenggong of the long-standing false accusation. Furthermore, it was found that Zheng Chenggong passed away before Prince Lu.
