Mausoleum of Yu the Great
大禹陵
The site connects Kuaiji Mountain with the memory of Dayu, the flood control hero and founder of the dynasty in early Chinese tradition. Temples, inscriptions, sacrificial axes, and later monuments represent national and local commemorations of past dynasties, not archaeologically confirmed tomb life. A careful visit should distinguish between mythology, sacrificial history and physical landscape, and at the same time understand the importance of the combination of the three.
