Gao Lishi's Tomb (famous eunuch of Tang Dynasty) had not been repaired for many years and was on the verge of collapse. Shaanxi Province invested RMB1.09 million to strengthen the tomb by reparative method. Now, the main body of the protection house at the entrance of the tomb passage is basically completed.

Gao Lishi, former name Feng Yuanyi, served four emperors such as Empress Wu Zetian, Emperor Zhongzong, Emperor Ruizong, and Emperor Xuanzong. He was greatly appreciated by the Empress Wu Zetian. In 762 A.D., Gao Lishi died and was buried in Tai Tomb of Emperor Xuanzong. The tomb, located in Shanxi Village, Chunlin Town, Pucheng County, Shaanxi Province, is the only subordinate tomb of Tai Tomb of Emperor Xuanzong, the national key culture relic protection site.
