What are the reasons why Ganling has not been damaged for 3 years?
Ganling is located on Liangshan Mountain, 6 kilometers north of Ganxian County in Shaanxi Province, and 76 kilometers away from the ancient city of Xi 'an. It was built in 684 AD, and it took 23 years to be basically completed. Liangshan is a naturally formed limestone mountain. It has three peaks. Beifeng is the highest, with an altitude of 147.3 meters. The two peaks in the south are lower, facing the east and west respectively. From the east to the west of Ganling, Liangshan lies on the ground like a woman's body. The north peak is the head, and the south peak is the chest. People often say that it is a wonderful symbol of Empress Wu Zetian.
Liangshan is very beneficial to women. So Empress Wu Zetian chose Liangshan as her husband, Tang Gaozong, and after one hundred years, she chose her longevity field. After Tang Gaozong's death, Wu Zetian ordered Yuan Tiangang and Chunfeng Li, the famous magicians in the ruling and opposition parties at that time, to choose a geomantic treasure house for Tang Gaozong. They traveled all over Kyushu respectively. When they came back, they all said that they chose Liangshan in Haoyun County and Ganxian County today. Ganling has developed into a fascinating cultural relic tourist attraction, attracting many Chinese and foreign tourists to visit it every year. It is a great pleasure for tourists to observe the magnificent and colorful cultural relics of Qianling.
in the first year of guangzhai of Wu Zetian, that is, the second year after the completion of Ganling, it was only divided into five counties: Haoyun, Liquan, Shiping, Wugong and Yongshou. Some areas have been designated as Fengtian County, and the county government is located at the present site of Ganxian County at the foot of Ganling. In the first year of Zongganning in the Tang Dynasty, Fengtian County was renamed Ganzhou. In the Republic of China, Ganzhou was changed to Ganxian. Therefore, Ganxian is named after Ganling, which means that there is Ganxian after Ganling. Ganling Cultural Relics Protection Area includes the main mausoleum of Ganling, Shinto Temple and several subsidiary tombs.
There are not many historical sites in the ancient city, but as a mausoleum guarding city, Fengtian Ancient City is an important part of Ganling. The core protected areas are protected in strict accordance with the relevant provisions of the state, with the main function of protecting and displaying cultural relics and historic sites; In the cultural tourist area, around the ancient city of Fengtian, Ganling tourism should be developed reasonably. Through the excavation of the historical position of Fengtian ancient city, the scope of scenic spots that fully display the history and culture of Ganling is defined.
