Where is Wu Zetian’s Qianling Mausoleum? Why is Qianling Mausoleum the most difficult ancient tomb to dig?
The Qianling Mausoleum is the only mausoleum in Chinese history where two emperors, Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian, were buried together. , known as the ninth wonder of the world buried underground.
The Qianling Mausoleum is located on Liangshan Mountain at an altitude of 1,047 meters in Qian County, Xianyang City. History books call it the crown of all imperial mausoleums in the past. The Qianling Mausoleum was designed after the layout of Chang'an, Xijing at that time, and was divided into an inner city, a palace city and an outer city. The inner city covers an area of 2.4 million square meters, the palace city has a circumference of 12 miles, the outer city has a circumference of more than 80 miles, and 380 houses are built in the cemetery.
History books record the story of the site selection of the Qianling Mausoleum. After Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty died of illness in Luoyang, Chen Ziang and others took the initiative to set up a mausoleum in Luoyang. However, in order to comply with Gaozong's last wish to return Chang'an and die without regrets, Wu Zetian Decided to choose a lucky place in the Weibei Plateau of Guanzhong. Soon, the imperial court selected two famous alchemists across the country. One was Yuan Tiangang, a Sichuan astrologer, and the other was Li Chunfeng, the Taishi Ling who specialized in yin and yang and astronomical calendar in the palace.
After receiving the order, Yuan Tiangang searched both sides of the Yellow River but could not find a place he liked. Later, I came to Guanzhong and went out to watch the sky at midnight. I saw a mountain with purple gas rising into the sky, which happened to intersect with the Beidou. Yuan Tiangang believed that it was a treasure land, so he hurried up the mountain to find the right location. However, he couldn't find anything to mark it, so he took out a copper coin and put it on the ground and covered it with loose soil. Then he went down the mountain and returned to the court.
After receiving the order, another Feng Shui master, Li Chunfeng, traveled eastward along the Weishui River in search of treasures. When the sun was shining brightly at noon one day, he saw a strange rocky mountain suddenly appeared on the land of Qinchuan: looking from south to north, it looked like a naked woman sleeping naked under the blue sky and white clouds. This woman had complete facial features and a pair of The breasts are firm and symmetrical, even the breasts and navel are there. What makes him even more miraculous is that with his legs slightly apart, there is a clear spring flowing all day long in the middle! Li Chunfeng was greatly surprised, so he hurried up the mountain, took Ziwu with his figure, made Bagua with gravel, pulled out the starting pin and pierced it into the soil at the intersection of the two fishes, and then went back down the mountain to return to his life.
Wu Zetian heard from the two of them that they had selected auspicious places in the same direction, and sent people to review them. After the minister came to Liangshan, he found this place and dug up the loose soil. He was so shocked that he couldn't stand up for a long time. It turned out that Li Chunfeng's hairpin was stuck in the eye of Yuan Tiangang's copper coin!
Since it is a geomantic treasure land, why are you waiting? Wu Zetian ordered the construction to start immediately, and soon the Qianling Mausoleum was repaired and Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty was buried. Later, Wu Zetian followed her husband and was buried in the Qianling Mausoleum. The topography of Qianling Mausoleum fully corresponds to the perfect combination of Yin and Yang, and the most wonderful combination of heaven and earth. Qian is the sky and yang, Kun is the earth and yin, and when yin and yang combine, all things come into being. "The Book of Burial" says: Those who are buried take advantage of their vitality. To hide the wind and gather Qi, water is the uppermost part. Therefore, the deceased is buried with a blue dragon on the left, a white tiger on the right, a red bird in the front, and a Xuanwu in the back.
Although Qianling Mausoleum has gone through thousands of years of vicissitudes, it still remains untouched by wind and rain. Tomb robbers of all generations have failed in front of Qianling Mausoleum, and even the tomb door of Qianling Mausoleum has not been found. This shows that this geomantic treasure land It has indeed protected the dragon body and phoenix body from sleeping underground without being disturbed by mortals. However, some ancients pointed out that Liangshan Feng Shui is good, but it benefits Yin but not Yang. Wu Zetian chose this place as the mausoleum to bury herself and Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty for the sake of the prosperity of future generations of the Wu family, and put forward the following views:
First, the Qianling Mausoleum is separated from Taizong's Zhaoling Dragon Vein. If it were buried by ordinary people, Three generations can prosper here, but if the emperor is buried here, I am afraid that after three generations, the country will be in danger. This is indeed the case. The Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline after Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. At this time, Wu Zetian was only in power for three generations.
Second, the head of the dragon vein of the Tang Dynasty was in Jiujun Mountain, and Taizong was buried here. Living at the head of the dragon made the Tang Dynasty prosperous. However, Liangshan was the tail of the dragon vein of the Zhou Dynasty, and the tail gas must decline.
Third, the north peak of Liangshan Mountain is the highest, and the two peaks in front look like ***. The entire mountain shape looks like a human body lying flat with towering peaks from a distance.
This is a typical place that benefits yin. The yin energy is diffuse and is not conducive to yang. The main peak of Liangshan Mountain is straight and beautiful, belonging to the wooden grid. The two peaks in the south are round and round, belonging to the golden grid. Although the three peaks are tall and straight, they look flat from a distance and belong to the earth. In phase, metal defeats wood, and soil produces metal. Building a mausoleum under the main peak will inevitably lead to Yin Qi overwhelming Yang Qi. The reason why Wu Zetian usurped power and took over the world is related to her choosing this place for her mausoleum.
Of course, the above inference cannot be confirmed or falsified, but judging from the topography of Liangshan, the twin peaks are tall and tall, surrounded by two rivers. It seems that a beautiful woman is lying quietly here, regardless of whether Liangshan is It benefits Yin or Yang, but it is indeed a rare Feng Shui treasure land.
