She decided to return to their hometown with the bones but died at Tongguan, Shanxi. The local residents were so moved by her story that they decided to rename their town Mengjiang Mountain, monly known as Mengjia Mountain. During the period of Emperor Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty (14881505), Li Rugui, the minister of two major departments at that time, was a Lizhou local. Mengjia Mountain was renamed Jiashan Mountain (the Chinese character Jia means “to praise”) by Li Rugui to honour Mengjiangnv. Jiangnv Temple, or Jiangnv Shrine, was built there by other people. It consists of more than 30 houses, with an Entrance Hall, Main Hall, Back Hall and Temple Hall. The Temple experienced destruction and underwent reconstruction many times. In January, 1954, it was laid in ruin after a fierce fire. In the front of the Temple, there was ‘Wangfu Platform’ (a platform used to long for Meng’s husband) and a ‘Mirror Stone’. The well on the Southern slope of Jiashan Mountain is also famed to be a spectacular scene, having existed for a thousand years with constant fresh water. It is said to be the place where Mengjiangnv was bathing as Fan Xi hid behind a tree and peeked at her, after which they became married. This well was thus named the ‘Bathing Well’. Legend has it that lovers can be blessed and have children if they drink water from it. 　　Jiashan lies between Changsha and Wuhan and thus enjoys a unique advantage in terms of transportation links. The Xiangbei Expressway and TaiyuanMacau Expressway (to be constructed) pass through Jinshi County. It connects the ShimenChangsha Railway and ZhichengLiuzhou Railway. Taohuayuan Airport is also only 80 km away from Jinshi City. Near the city is the Li River, which runs eastward to the Dongting Lake and boasts one of the six major ports of Hunan Province. It is navigable for 500ton vessels all year round to places as far as Changsha, Wuhan, and Shanghai.Lin Boqu’s Former Residence　Lin Boqu, an outstanding proletarian revolutionary, was an important party and state leader and one of the founders of the People’s Republic of China.

It is located in the beautiful Liangshuijing Village, Xiumei Town, Linli County, where Lin spent his childhood and youth. Facing the South, it has 3 rows of rooms inside and a creek outside flowing more than 10 miles along the front garden of the house. Hung on the roof beam of the rear central room, there is a plaque with the inscription “Jiu Mu Shi jia” (The Noble Family of Lin) indicating the elegant and plain quality of this family. A bronze statue of Lin Boqu surrounded by old cypresses stands solemnly and stately in the front garden. Deng Xiaoping wrote “Former Residence of Comrade Lin Boqu”. Now the residence has been given the status of ‘Provincial Key Cultural Relic’, ‘Provincial Patriotic Education Base’ and ‘Red Scenic Tourist Attraction’. 　　Lin Boqu’s Former Residence is 55 km away from Changde City. The No. 207 National Highway runs through Xiumei Town and a 5 km hardened road links the highway to Lin Boqu’s former residence.
