WuRui, is officially sealed as Boyang County official in Qin Dynasty (formerly known as Poyang, now known as Boyang). The Chu king, Xiang Yu sealed Wu as Mount Hengshan king and when Liu Bang takes over the seat, changed Linjiang into Changsha and appointed him as Changsha king. Wu Rui was very popular with the people when he was holding the official post and he has a political mind. After he died, the subjects held grand funeral for him. It was said that Wu Wang Grave's height is 22 meters, next to grave stood a temple called Wu Wang temple. But at the end of Han, Sun Quan founded the Wu country in South of Changjiang. In order to build his father, Changsha satrap Sun Jian's temple, he digs up Wu Rui's grave and takes the lumber. Therefore Wu Wang Grave existence is very short. But King Wu's Tomb spread until now, probably because the people reminisces his merit.
