en 1921 w:Carl Crow The Travelers' Handbook for China (including Hongkong) https://archive.org/details/travelershandboo00crow/ 3rd w:Dodd, Mead & Co. 156024314 277 https://archive.org/details/travelershandboo00crow/page/277/ 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 bones of the Confucian clan in all its branches for 2500 years.
