Chufou.—Ninety miles south of Tsinanfu on the Tientsin-Pukow Railway is Chufou, the place where Confucius lived and is buried. When the railway was being constructed a few years ago, the Duke of Kung, a lineal descendant of Confucius, objected to the defilement of the sacred place by such a barbarous thing as a foreign railway and so was able to keep it out of Chufou, where he is very influential. It is therefore necessary for the visitor to ride five miles in a Chinese cart or wheelbarrow from the railway station. The fact that the Duke is now a wiser man and regrets that the road does not touch his city does not make the-ride any shorter.
The principal point of interest at Chufou is the great cemetery, covering about 600 acres and containing the bone 3 of the Confucian clan in all its branches for 2500 years. 1921, Carl Crow, The Travelers' Handbook for China (including Hongkong), 3rd edition, Dodd, Mead & Co., →OCLC, page 277:
