This video has a detailed introduction

In the northern mountain system of Weibei, it starts from the Ganling of Emperor Gaozong in Gan County in the west and ends at the Tailing of Emperor Xuanzong in pucheng county in the east. Eighteen of the twenty emperors in the Tang Dynasty are buried, which are called "Eighteen Tombs of the Tang Dynasty". Zhaoling in Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, is located on Jiujun Mountain, 22 kilometers northeast of Liquan County, Shaanxi Province. Locals call it "Tang Wangling", which is the largest of the "Eighteen Tombs of the Tang Dynasty" and four or five times larger than the Ming Tombs in Beijing. Jiujun Mountain is saddle-shaped, commonly known locally as Bijia Mountain. The mountains on both sides of the east and west are undulating and ravines are criss-crossing, which makes the main peak abrupt and lonely.

Zhaoling started construction in the 1th year of Zhenguan (636), and Li Shimin was buried here in the 23rd year of Zhenguan, and it was built for thirteen years. Zhaoling was built on the mountain of Jiujun, which set a precedent for the feudal emperors in Tang Dynasty to rely on the mountain as the mausoleum. "Literature General Examination" contains: "Because the Jiujun layer peaks cut the mountain, the southwest is 75 steps deep, which is Yuangong Mountain. The beam on the side of the rock is a plank road, hanging off the Wan Ren, and it takes 23 steps around the mountain to reach the Yuan Palace Gate. At the top, there is also a tour hall. " Later, in order to protect the mausoleum, the plank road was demolished. Wen Tao, a warlord of the Five Dynasties, recorded that "the palace system is seen from the extension road, and the grandeur is not different from the world", so it is conceivable that the interior bedroom hall is rich.

Zhaoling was designed by Yan Lide and Yan Liben, famous painters and craftsmen in the Tang Dynasty, with numerous projects and brilliant architecture. Due to the large number of buried tombs, the total area of Zhao Mausoleum reached 3, mu, almost double that of Chang 'an at that time. According to legend, the Zhaoling project is huge, and it is a big problem to transport a large number of bricks and stones to the top of the mountain. A shepherd came up with the idea of using sheep for bad luck. After the completion of Zhaoling in thirteen years, Jiujun Mountain was covered with a thick layer of sheep dung. There are 167 buried tombs in Zhaoling. Buried tombs are mainly distributed in the east, west and south of Jiujunshan Mausoleum, and lined up in a fan shape. From the epitaph, the owners of the buried tombs were all kings, princesses and famous courtiers in the early Tang Dynasty.

when the Zhaoling mausoleum was first built, Emperor Taizong proclaimed that "the hero is close to the grave" and "the person who helps others with his career" should be buried with him. Later, he allowed his servants to apply for burial with him, and his descendants were buried from his grandfather, thus forming a huge burial group centered on the mausoleum of Emperor Taizong, which was rare in the tombs of emperors in past dynasties. It is impossible to test when the burial system in ancient China began. Its perfection and prevalence began in the Western Han Dynasty. Emperors in the Han dynasty often gave the space in the cemetery to their relatives and heroes, and later they lived side by side from generation to generation, which became an important means for kings to win over their officials. Emperor Taizong institutionalized this form, which made the form of funerals reach an unprecedented scale in the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the cemetery in the Tang Dynasty often takes the imperial tomb as the center and forms a huge tomb group.

Wei Zhi's tomb and Li Bo's tomb are more famous among the tombs buried with Zhao Ling. Wei Zhi's tomb is on the Phoenix Mountain, not far from the southwest of Jiujun Mountain. The tombs buried with the royal family in Zhaoling are mostly in the mountains, and the tombs buried with the ministers are mostly in the plains below. Wei Zhi's tomb is exclusive to a mountain peak, and it is closest to Li Shimin Mausoleum, which shows that Li Shimin attaches importance to and trusts Wei Zhi. Wei Zhi was a famous minister who dared to be honest and modest. After his death, Li Shimin personally wrote a book and tablet. Later, when Li Shimin thought of Wei Zhi, he always sighed and said, "With copper as a mirror, you can dress properly;" Taking the past as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; Take people as a mirror, you can know the gains and losses. Now that Wei Zhi is gone, I am missing a mirror! "

Li Ji's tomb (originally named Xu, the word Maogong) is a mountain-shaped tomb built by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for Huo Qubing to build the Qilian Mountain tomb, commonly known as the mountain tomb. According to legend, both Li Ji and Wei Zhi wanted Phoenix Mountain as the cemetery, so Li Shimin proposed that archery should be decided by winning or losing. Li Ji's arrow flew far away. Wei Zhi asked Li Shimin to write the words "Wei Zhi's Tomb" on his arrow, and gently pulled the bowstring, which just landed on the Phoenix Mountain in front of him. Wei Zhi tricked him into occupying Phoenix Mountain, but Li Ji refused to accept it, so Li Shimin gave him credit for repairing the tomb. Three mounds were built by closing mounds, which, like mountains, symbolized Yinshan Mountain, Tieshan Mountain and Ude Mountain, in recognition of Li Ji's contribution to the defeat of Turks and Xue Yantuo. In front of the Yamagata Tombs, I stood and looked at L pairs of tall stone men, 3 pairs of Shiyang and 3 pairs of Shi Hu, and there was a huge monument with a height of 7.5 meters written by Tang Gaozong and written as the crown of the tombstones buried with Zhaoling.
