There are two stone tablets in front of the tomb of Xiaofu Tomb. One was erected in the 34th year of Kangxi (AD 1695), and the other was built in the 30th year of Guangxu (AD 1904).

There are four big characters on the tombstone: "Eternal Fragrance", and the year number of "Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty" is vaguely engraved on the tombstone. The inscription is also vaguely discernible: "The hometown of filial women in the East China Sea of ??the Han Dynasty...more than a thousand Years old."

"Blood spattered in vain, June snow flying, three years of severe drought... three years of no rain, only the injustice of the once filial wife of the East China Sea.

" Guan Hanqing, a famous Yuan opera composer "The Injustice of Dou E" has been widely circulated for thousands of years.

People are familiar with the story of Dou E's unjust death, but many people may not know that the prototype of this touching story is the "Dutiful Wife of the East China Sea" in Tancheng. The original name of the dutiful wife was not Dou E. E, Guan Hanqing was not the first person to tell the story of a filial wife in writing.

The filial wife’s name was Zhou Qing. Before she got married, her husband fell ill and could not work in the fields, so she married Zhou Qing to take care of the housework. Unexpectedly, her husband died in less than a year. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are left to depend on each other.

One day, Zhou Qing picked up a copper coin on her way home from digging wild vegetables. She used the copper coin to buy two taels of sesame oil. She washed the watercress wild vegetables she dug and added the sesame oil to the back end. I gave it to my mother-in-law, who unexpectedly died suddenly at night after eating it.

Zhou Qing's sister-in-law went to the county government to complain, saying that her sister-in-law Zhou Qing wanted to remarry and intentionally killed her mother. The county magistrate put Zhou Qing on trial.

At that time, the jailer Yu Gong complained to the county magistrate, saying that Zhou Qing was a virtuous and filial daughter and would not kill her mother-in-law. The county magistrate ignored the advice and insisted on executing Zhou Qing.

Before she was executed, Zhou Qing, a filial woman, told the county magistrate that she had unintentionally killed her mother-in-law, and proposed three phenomena that could be verified. One was white blood after being unjustly killed, the other was snow falling, and the third It was a severe drought for three years.

He also begged to be buried with his mother-in-law after his death.

After the filial wife Zhou Qing was beheaded, she really bled white. It snowed heavily. Zhou Qing was buried on the west side of her mother-in-law's grave. Unexpectedly, the two tombs merged into one overnight and became a tall tomb. mound.

The filial wife's resentment moved heaven. As expected, there was a severe drought for three years, no harvest, and the county magistrate was dismissed.

Guan Hanqing, a great dramatist of the Yuan Dynasty, adapted the plays "The Injustice of Dou E" and "Snow in June" based on the dutiful woman from the East China Sea of ??Han Dynasty.

The story of Zhou Qing, a filial woman, has been told by local people for many years, and is even known to women and children in Baixi (Blood) Wang Village.

There is still a north-south dividing line in the middle of the tomb, which records the virtuous and filial virtues of the filial woman Zhou Qing in supporting the elderly.

2. The place where Confucius ascended - Wanghailou Scenic Area is 15 kilometers southeast of the city and about 2.5 kilometers southeast of Dashangzhuang Village, Honghua Township. It is a tall stone peak with staggered boulders. Shaped like a stone building.

It is said that as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, when Confucius traveled around the world to visit the country of Tan, he and the king of Tan, Tan Zi, climbed here to look at the sea and watch the sunrise. It was later called the place where Confucius climbed - Wanghai Tower.

There is a large piece of red stone on the south side of Wanghai Tower, which is layered on top of each other. The sunlight reflects on the red stone, like a red ocean, which is particularly charming.

The microlithic site was announced as a provincial key cultural relic protection unit in June 1992.

3. On September 21, 1992, at the Cross-Strait Academic Symposium on Sun Bin’s Art of War and the Battle of Maling, held in Linyi City, Shandong Province, an unsolved case that had been obscured by historical events for more than two thousand years was revealed. With a precise explanation, more than 100 experts and scholars from home and abroad formed a consensus through on-the-spot investigations and academic discussions: the battle site of the Maling Battle of Qi and Wei should be Maling Mountain in Tancheng County, Shandong Province.

The Battle of Maling between Qi and Wei took place in 341 BC. It was a famous battle in which the military strategist Sun Bin commanded the Qi army to defeat a large number with a small number, and annihilated the 100,000-strong Wei army led by Pang Juan in one fell swoop. This battle It prominently embodies Sun Bin's military thought and command art, and creates a model of mountain ambush warfare. It has been praised by people for more than two thousand years and attracted the attention of historians and military circles.

However, due to the sparseness of historical records and errors in interpretation by later generations, there has been no convincing conclusion as to where the almost universally known battle between Sun Bin and Pang Juan took place.

At this academic lecture, experts believed that the site of the Battle of Maling in Qi and Wei was in Tancheng Maling Mountain.

In May 2001, the country's first "Chinese Ancient Battlefield Teaching and Research Base" founded by China's "Sun Tzu Art of War Research Association" was launched in Maling Mountain, Tancheng. In 2003, the Maling Ancient Battlefield was listed as Shandong Provincial key tourism construction project.

Maling Mountain is the remnant of Yimeng Mountain, running north to south, with an altitude between 80 and 180 meters. The terrain conditions are consistent with the description of the Battle of Maling in historical materials.

"Yizhou Chronicles" compiled during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty once recorded: "Qi attacked Wei, and Sun Tzu defeated Pang Juan here.

"From "Warring States Policy" and "Historical Records of the Wei Family" "The records clearly indicating Wei's march route, and the same evidence can be found in "Sun Bin's Art of War".

A large number of bronze arrowheads and bronze weapons were also unearthed in the Maling Mountain area.

In addition, there are many place names and village names along Maling Mountain that are related to the Battle of Maling between Qi and Wei.

For example: the racecourse where Sun Bin raised horses, the Shezi where the Qi army shot Pang Juan, the Dulong Stream where Pang Juan lay on the ground, also known as Pangjuan ditch, where Pang Juan mounted the horse stone once and twice, and the Wei army removed his armor Camp A, Pang Juan committed suicide, Hengu Ya, etc.

The emergence of these place names has certain historical roots.

4. The "Tancheng-Lujiang Fault Zone" is a giant fault zone in eastern China, generally running north-south and stretching for more than 2,400 kilometers.

The earthquake fault zone on the west side of Maling Mountain in Gaofengtou Town is the only Quaternary active fault landscape in China.

Standing on the west slope of Maling Mountain, you can see light red land on one side and tawny land on the other side, with a "clear line between Jingwei and Jingwei".

The light red soil is from the Cenozoic Era, while the yellowish brown soil is from the Mesozoic Era. The age difference between the two is more than 100 million years.

If you stroll along the middle line, you will realize the myth of "one step to leap hundreds of millions of years".

The Tancheng earthquake fault zone provides reliable physical basis for studying the formation and changes of Mesozoic and Cenozoic geological structures and earthquakes.

5. Tancheng is the “Hometown of Ginkgo in China” and is known as “the No. 1 Ginkgo County in the World”.

The Ginkgo Ecological Park includes landscapes such as the Ancient Ginkgo Plum Garden and the Ten Thousand Mu Old Ginkgo Garden.

There are many landscapes in the park, each with its own characteristics.

There is the old sacred tree Ginkgo King.

The tree is 47 meters tall, 2.3 meters in diameter at breast height, and 7.1 meters in breast circumference.

The shade tree covers an area of ??about 0.85 acres. When it blooms in spring, it can pollinate female trees within dozens of kilometers around it.

Most of the surface root system of the ginkgo tree is exposed to the soil, but it sprouts earlier and falls leaves later than other ginkgo trees. It grows vigorously and is called the "old sacred tree" by local people.

According to historical records, the tree has a history of more than 2,500 years.
