Tomb and Temple of Yue Fei
The scene of Yue Fei's tomb and General Yue's Temple is located at the southern foot of Qixia Hill of Hangzhou City in Zhejiang Province. General Yue Fei (1103-1142) was a national hero of the Southern Song Dynasty who distinguished himself in battles against northern invaders. He was sentenced to death after he was framed for crimes he did not commit. To the left of the simple tomb, which was built in 1162, is a temple containing a statue of the general; people often come here to pray respects to this heroic martyr. In the two side halls of the temple are 120 tablets; the tablets are engraved with Yue Fei"s poems as well as eulogies to him by noted figures.
