Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: A very small (about a meter long) bixi turtle In the Ming-era section of the Confucius Cemetery, somewhere NW of the tomb of Confucius. Rather unusually, instead of a rectangular niche on for a tablet, this bixi appears to have on its back a round niche (for a round pillar?). While I can't date the bixi itself, a tombstone (probably not directly related to the bixi) just to the SE of it belongs to a 61st-generation descendant of Confucius, and is dated 36 Wanli (ca. 1608); this tombstone has the inventory number 9-223 written on its west side. Another tombstone, south of the mini-bixi is dated Hongzi 17 (ca. 1504). Unfortunately, I don't have a good photo of the stele north of the bixi, which most likely is related to it. |
