Please tell me about the historical events of Dingjun Guhun!
Dingjun Mountain is located in the south of today's Mian County, Shaanxi Province. It is a branch of Micang Mountain extending northwest into the Hanzhong Basin. Because the mountain is flat and can station thousands of troops, it is named Dingjun Mountain; another saying is, During the Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang deduced the Eight Formations in this mountain and taught his troops how to perform martial arts. The Northern Expedition to Cao Wei got its name.
Why was Zhuge Liang buried here after his death, instead of being buried at the place of death or back to Chengdu, the capital of Shu? The first reason is that "he was born to rule Shu, and he died to protect Shu"; the second reason is that "the ambition of the Northern Expedition has not been fulfilled"; the third reason is that he is worried about being buried back in Chengdu and being "retaliated" by his successor. None of these reasons can be ruled out, but there should be another one, that is, Zhuge Liang took a fancy to the Feng Shui here.
Dingjun Mountain has complex terrain and undulating mountains, making it a geomantic treasure. There are still two tall Feng Shui trees next to Zhuge Liang's tomb, which are known as the "Tomb Guards Shuanggui".
It was Zhuge Liang's will to bury Dingjun Mountain, which can also be found in the "Three Kingdoms". How was the tomb site determined? This address was also chosen by myself. Zhuge Liang had a lot of ideas during his lifetime, but his method of "creating ideas" after his death was also very strange.
According to folklore, before his death, Zhuge Liang said this about where he would be buried in Dingjun Mountain: Put the body into a coffin, and the soldiers would carry the coffin and follow the Shu army from the Baoxian Road. Evacuate south together. Wherever the rope is broken, the coffin will be buried.
As instructed, the soldiers carried Zhuge Liang's coffin and walked for a long time before exiting the Baoxie Plank Road. After a short rest, continue carrying the coffin forward. Strangely, when we reached Dingjun Mountain, the rope carrying the coffin suddenly broke and the coffin fell to the address. The soldier put the coffin in place and looked for a shovel nearby, intending to dig a grave here. As soon as he walked away, there was a loud boom behind him. When he looked back quickly, he saw that the top of Dingjun Mountain collapsed, just in time to bury Zhuge Liang's coffin underneath - "Sky Burial" Zhuge Liang.
Zhuge Liang's "Doubtful Tomb"
Tomb robbing was a common practice in Zhuge Liang's era, which was the first peak period of tomb robbing in Chinese history. Later, thin burials and anti-grave robbing became the first choice after death. Cao Cao was an expert in tomb robbing and an authority in the fight against tomb robbing. The legend of his "Seventy-two Suspicious Tombs" has not yet been solved.
In this regard, Zhuge Liang, like Cao Cao, did an excellent job.
Zhuge Liang considered that Sima Yi and his descendants might find him after his death, and he was worried about retaliation and theft of the body. He requested that no trees be sealed after burial, and no burial objects be required, and that the tomb should not be dug too big to allow it to be placed. A coffin will do.
But later, in order to commemorate Zhuge Liang, people still sealed the soil on his tomb and planted trees as a memorial.
In order to prevent bad guys from destroying and tomb robbers, later generations set up many suspicious tombs for Zhuge Liang. What is now called "Zhuge Wuhou's True Tomb" is not the real tomb; it is generally believed that a tomb called "Wuhou's Tomb" is the real burial place of Zhuge Liang. Therefore, the people say that the tomb of Zhuge Wuhou is "the real tomb is not real, and the fake tomb is not fake."
The Tomb of Marquis Wu is located in the northwest corner of Dingjun Mountain, covering an area of more than 300 acres. In fact, this tomb is also a fake. The "real tomb of Marquis Wu of Zhuge" was said by Song Yun, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu in the fourth year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (1799 AD), based on Zhuge Liang's suspicion of the tomb; "the tomb of Marquis Wu" is It is Zhuge Liang's tomb, but it is not his true identity.
