Why is Mangshan called the “Hometown of the Dead”?

There is a saying in China about human beings' yearning for the place of birth and death, that is, people prefer to be born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and then be buried in Beimang after death. It can be seen from this that Beimang is the place where humans hope to stay at the end of their lives, because Beimang is a treasure place with excellent Feng Shui, and twenty-four emperors in history have hidden here, so this has also become a place for ordinary people. The place where you can be buried is what you have been pursuing all your life. Many poets in the history of our country also mentioned the word Beimang in their works, so Beimang is also called the hometown of the dead. 1. The geographical location of Beimang

Feng Shui is a relatively mysterious knowledge in the history of our country. Although the geographical location and terrain of Beimang are excellent, there are still many treasures like Beimang on the high loess slopes. Why is Beimang called the hometown of the dead? To understand why, we must first start with Luoyang. Various dynasties from the Zhou Dynasty to the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Later Tang Dynasty would use Luoyang as their capital. In Luoyang's more than 1,000-year history, 24 emperors were discovered and their tombs were built in Beimang, which shows that Mang Mountain is very important. 2. The story about Beimang

According to folklore, Liu Xiu, the first emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, used to refer to the tomb of the previous emperor when building his own mausoleum. It has changed the shape of the tomb built since the Han Dynasty, with the mountain as the tomb. And introduce water sources from other places to your cemetery to integrate your cemetery with the surrounding natural scenery. This makes it difficult for tomb robbers to discover their purpose. Liu Xiu's idea is somewhat similar to the Huang-Lao school of tranquility and inaction, integrating with nature. This has also made Beimang a holy place in the heart of Feng Shui in the past dynasties. 3. The status of Beimang in human hearts

Many Chinese poets during the Tang and Song Dynasties mentioned Beimang when writing. From this, it can be seen that Beimang was highly respected in all dynasties. Not only is Beimang's feng shui good, but also the emperor's tombs are located here, which increases the value of Beimang.
