1965438+On June 6, 2006, Yuan Shikai, then President of the Republic of China, died of illness. At that time, the Beiyang government, which was in charge at that time, followed its last wish of "burying my coffin" and appointed Tian Wenlie, the governor of Henan Province, to go to Anyang to "select the landform carefully, delimit the auspicious soil", "draw the detailed map" and "invite investment to build the tomb". It took more than two years and cost more than 700,000 silver dollars to build this huge house covering an area of nearly 140 mu by the Huanshui River.

From south to north, the main buildings are Zhaobi, Coarse Stone Bridge, Naive Stone Bridge, Pailou Gate, Wang Zhu, Stone Statue, Monument Pavilion, East-West Value Room, Courtyard Gate, Dadan Wall, East-West Attached Hall, Jingrentang and Tomb Terrace.
The overall design of Lin Yuan's architecture is unique and occupies a special position in the history of China's mausoleum architecture. Its characteristic is "the combination of Chinese and western", which embodies the characteristics of semi-colonial and semi-feudal times. The front part of the hall is the style of China Ming and Qing Tombs, and the back part is the architectural style of Western Tombs.
