Guan Zhong Memorial Hall
管仲纪念馆
A memorial hall built beside Guan Zhong's tomb, telling the life of the statesman who 'united the lords nine times and set the realm in order'.
Guan Zhong was a prime minister of the state of Qi during the Spring and Autumn period. He helped Duke Huan of Qi carry out reforms that made Qi the first hegemon of the era, and he was later called 'the foremost minister of Huaxia'. The memorial hall lies at the foot of Niushan in southern Linzi and is built beside Guan Zhong's tomb. Its complex of buildings is in a Spring and Autumn style. The galleries use sculptures, murals and text to present Guan Zhong's life, the story of the friendship between Guan and Bao, and the economic and governance ideas in the Guanzi. Behind the hall is the earthen mound of Guan Zhong's tomb, surrounded by ancient cypresses. The hall is small, and a visit takes about an hour. It can be combined on the same day with the Qi Culture Museum and the Qi State Ruins. Check the scenic area for admission details. A taxi from urban Linzi takes about 20 minutes.
