The Mausoleum of the Prince of Dajin
In the fifth year of Liao Tianqing's reign (AD 1115), Prince Yunmeng of the Kingdom of Dajin, under the order of the emperor, went north to visit various places with his attendants to care for the people. . When he came to Laha Mountain in present-day Lanxi County, the prince stood and looked around. He saw blue sky, white clouds, and picturesque green fields. He repeatedly exclaimed: "This is really a geomantic treasure place!" He ordered his men to dismount and rest, and looked around for a long time, such as Drunk like crazy. The prince continued to go north, and what he saw along the way was far less beautiful and charming than the banks of the Hulan River.
Later, the prince traveled around all year round and became ill from overwork. He fell seriously ill in the area of today's Daxingan Mountains, so he hurried back to Beijing in the direction of Huining Prefecture (today's Acheng City). When the prince was dying, he said to his attendants: "Give me a good coffin, lock it with iron chains, and transport it to Laha Mountain. The place where the iron chains are broken is where I will rest." After saying this, the prince died.
Following the prince's instructions, the attendants found iron chains and locked them, then carried the coffin and headed south. When we came to the southern hillside where the prince had dismounted and rested, strangely enough, the iron chains binding the prince's coffin broke with an explosion! The attendants built a tomb on the spot according to the prince's will, and buried the prince, iron chains, and big hammers here. People say that the prince loves the beautiful mountains and rivers here and stays here all the time, ensuring that this land, water and people live a long life and are lucky and prosperous.
The third prince of the Kingdom of Jin has been buried here for nearly a thousand years. According to the old man, a hundred years ago, a group of Mongolians came here to burn incense and offer sacrifices, sweep tombs and fill soil, and planted many flowers, plants and trees on the mountain. Legend has it that there are many rare treasures buried with him in the tomb, and there are also hidden mechanisms.
In the sixth year of Pseudo-Kant (1939 AD), the Japanese forced local farmers to dig graves in search of treasures. They dug up more than ten feet and only dug out a few bricks and weapons. However, the Japanese will continue to expand. That night, they all huddled in the shack at the foot of the mountain. As soon as the lamp was turned on, a strong wind blew in through the crack in the door. These people were all beaten on the soles of their shoes, and the Japanese were the worst beaten. The next day, the farmers said there were still arrows around the prince's tomb, so the Japanese stopped digging.
Times have passed, time has passed, and vicissitudes have changed tremendously, but the prince still rests in peace among the green mountains and green waters
In the summer of 1979, a dozen strong men from Chejiawobao, Lanxi Town, Lanxi County, I didn't believe in that evil, so I cut down the trees and dug two large trenches, one meter wide and five meters deep. I was eager to dig out the treasure. I worked hard for two days and two nights, but I still couldn't find the moon in the water.
In the spring of 2005, Mr. Bai Juncai, chairman of Heilongjiang Nanshan Fortune Water Conservancy Engineering Co., Ltd., resolutely bought this piece of Nanshan, carried out large-scale repairs to the prince's tomb, and built the Dajin Prince Cemetery. There is an archway at the entrance and hanging towers on both sides.
Entering the archway, there is an open and straight Shinto with 9 pairs of mythical beasts arranged on the north and south sides: Qilin (Qilin), leopard, Suanni (sour mud), evil spirits, Pi (skin), Xie ( Sheep, horses, and tigers represent auspicious animals from all walks of life, symbolizing harmony, auspiciousness, money, power, bravery, justice, warding off evil, and eliminating harm. They are majestic and agile, with different expressions, and guard here.
Today's Prince Mausoleum is majestic, solemn and spectacular, with people often offering sacrifices. Many tourists come here specifically to visit ancient times. Looking at the sunset in the distance, I seem to see the moving scene of the mighty prince patrolling the mountains and inspecting defenses, recalling the long legend that has been sealed for many years.
