Fu Jian's Tomb is a key cultural relic protection site in Shaanxi Province.

It is located in Shuikou Township, Bin County, 125 kilometers northwest of Xianyang City. The tomb faces south and north, leaving a burial area of ​​360 square meters. The remaining mound is 24 meters long, 10 meters wide and 2 meters high. In front of the tomb, there is a stele with the inscription "Tomb of Fu Jian, King of the Former Qin Dynasty" erected by the Shaanxi Provincial People's Government in 1957. Fu Jian (338-385), whose courtesy name was Yonggu and another name was Wenyu, was a member of the Di ethnic group. He was the third monarch of the Former Qin Empire and reigned from 357 to 385 AD. Fu Jian was committed to the unification of China and the unity of all ethnic groups. During his reign, he strengthened centralization, suppressed lawless nobles, built water conservancy projects in Guanzhong, and developed agricultural production. In 383, Qin led an army of 870,000 (actually only about 300,000) to attack Jin, but was defeated in the Battle of Feishui. Later, the Xianbei, Qiang, and Dingling rebelled against Qin and established their own kingdoms. In 385 AD, he was captured by the Qiang leader Yao Cang and hanged to death not far south of the Dafo Temple in Xinping (now Bin County). The tomb faces south and north, with an area of ​​140 square meters. The tombstone is engraved with "Tomb of Fu Jian, King of the Former Qin Dynasty". The tomb mound is shaped like a pyramid and is commonly known as the "long-horned tomb".
