The tomb is the last hiding place for man. Dong Zhongshu's tombstone was built inside a wall. The wall is a military retreat, the monument faces the street, and it reads: "Dong Zhongshu's tomb, the first batch of protected cultural relics in Shaanxi Province, August 6, 1956." On the other side, in the dry retreat, it reads: "Dong Zhongshu, a philosopher of the Western Han Dynasty, his unified political theory played a positive role in the unification and consolidation of the Western Han Dynasty. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty every fortunate Furong Garden, to Dong Zhongshu tomb dismounted, so the world called it 'Horse Mausoleum', Ming Zhengde Shaanxi Governor Wang Jue built a cemetery, called 'Dong Zi Temple'. In the sixth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1667 AD), Huang Jiading of Xianning Zhi County rebuilt three ancestral halls, and stood on the stone in front of the gate, engraved the three words "Xia Ma Ling". During the Qianlong period, Bi Yuan, the governor of Shaanxi, re-repaired the cemetery to commemorate the scholar of the Western Han Dynasty, and the existing sealed soil of the tomb is about 2.5 meters high and about 6 meters in diameter. "In the southeast of the old city wall of Xi'an, next to the root of the city wall, the road from Wenchang Gate to Heping Gate is about 800 meters long, called Xia Ma Ling.

Dong Zhongshu's tombstone is sandwiched on this street. Regarding Dong Zhongshu's tomb, there are generally three theories in the historical records.

Xiamaling is one of a kind. The second theory is the record in the "Shaanxi Tongzhi" (Ming Jiajing): "Dong Zhongshu's tomb is six miles south of the city. Ban Gu's "Hanshu Dong Zhongshu Biography" is the third type: "Zhongshu is at home (now Zaoqiang, Hengshui, Hebei), if there is a big discussion in the imperial court, the envoy and the court commander Zhang Tang ask about his home, and they all have clear laws. Since the beginning of Emperor Wu, Wei Qi and Wu Anhou have been Confucian. and Zhong Shu against the book, pushing the Kong family, and suppressing the hundred schools. The officials who established the school, and the state and county raised Mao materials and filial piety, all of which were issued by Zhong Shu. Old age, longevity finally home, family in the tomb. "The Records of the Historians: The Biography of Rulin" just talks about it

"Dong Zhongshu is afraid that he will be convicted for a long time and will be spared at home. When he dies, he will not cure the industry, and he will study and write books."

Maoling is the mausoleum of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, there is a village called Ce Village in the north of Maoling, it belongs to Xingping City, hundreds of residents are mostly surnamed Dong, in the southeast of Ce Village, there is a mound, and contemporary experts have identified it as the tomb of Dong Zhongshu.

The Northern Song Dynasty's "Taiping Huanyu Ji" recorded: "The tomb of Dong Zhongshu is twenty miles northeast of (Xingping) County. This account is consistent with Cecun.

There are also differences in the statements of "Cihai" and "Ciyuan" today. "Cihai" is: "Xiama Tomb, the ancient place name. In present-day Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, near the Peace Gate. The tomb of Dong Zhongshu in the Western Han Dynasty, one said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty traveled to Yichun Garden, and once dismounted here, and one said that Dong's believers all dismounted here, because they were famous. It is commonly known as shrimp toad tomb. "Etymology" is: "Shrimp Toad Tomb, place name, in the southeast of Chang'an City, close to Qujiang, according to legend for Dong Zhongshu tomb, the door people are all off the horse here, so it is called the Shrimp Toad Tomb, and the descendants mistakenly call it the Shrimp Toad Tomb. See Tang Li Zhao's "National History Supplement". One said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was fortunate to be in the Furong Garden, so far he dismounted, and then mistakenly became the shrimp toad tomb. In the Tang Dynasty, it was a gathering place for prostitutes, and Tang Bai Juyi's "Changqing Collection of Twelve Pipa Quotations": "I said that I was a woman in the capital, and my home lived under the shrimp toad. Dong Zhongshu's great thing is that he laid the foundation for the core position of Confucianism in Chinese culture.

In China, no one in a remote village, even an illiterate village, has ever read a book, but the basic common sense of Confucianism, benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and faith is also familiar.

Dong Zhongshu has another sentence that should be taken seriously,

"Qu the people and stretch the king, bend the king and stretch the sky". Limit local forces and establish the authority of the Son of Heaven. Limit the power of the Son of Heaven and establish a law that conforms to heaven and earth and nature.

The Son of Heaven is not supreme, but is commanded by Heaven. In Dong Zhongshu's era, it is really great to have such an understanding.

We had a song many years ago, and the lyrics at the beginning were, "Father and mother are not as good as what is big, and the world is not as big as anything".

Respecting teachers and valuing education is today's mantra. Teachers and teachings, how to respect, how to be important, it is not enough to rely on the lips and mouths.
