In
1955, Tomb of King Shaowu and his Liegemen was migrated from
its original location near Liuhua Bridge to the current location
under the Muke Hummock owing to construction of Guangzhou Gymnasium.
It was then listed as a cultural relic unit in Guangzhou. Buried
in the Tomb were the King Shaowu！Zhu Yu, and his liegemen, totally
15 persons. The King Shaowu was one of the kings on the throne
during South Ming Dynasty. However, found in the tomb was merely
one grave stone and a handful of loess. In the late Ming Dynasty,
Zhu Yu, brother of King Longwu, was exiled to Guangzhou, and
established his imperial government here at the end of 1646,
entitling his reigning year as Shaowu. Posterities blamed King
Shaowu and his liegemen for their incompetence in their positions
and their lust for material benefits, which led to internal
feud. The imperial government of Shaowu reigned for only 40
days, and was subjugated by Manchu troops.
