The main attractions of Jiang Mu's tomb.
Among them, the stone archway is located at the entrance of the tomb, with four columns and three doors (the middle door is 3.7 meters wide and the left and right doors are 2. 1 meter wide). There are Taoist reliefs such as flowers, harmonious immortals and longevity stars on the square column. The word "Jiang Mu's Tomb Road" was written by Sun Yat-sen, and the sedan chair pavilion built across the road looked like a Taoist hat or an ancient literati's square scarf hat from a distance, which was used for rest. Pines and cypresses are planted on both sides along the way, which is tall and spectacular. When Chiang Kai-shek and his descendants came to worship, they all got off the sedan chair and walked to the cemetery here. Chiang Kai-shek's heirs and friends followed suit to show their respect. Over time, the locals called this pavilion "Xiajiao Pavilion". The ticket booth is newly built, and the cornice is upturned. On the booth, there is a four-character plaque inscribed by Sun Yiqing, the current president of China Poetry Society. The couplet "Wei Zi Tong Yi, Shu De Hou Fu enjoys a long life" hung on both sides was written by Li Zongren. The octagonal pavilion, also known as filial piety pavilion, was built in the middle of Changling Road by Chiang Kai-shek in consideration of the difficulties faced by the little old mother under the grave, with the aim of letting her rest in peace and showing filial piety. Villagers are used to "Filial Piety Pavilion".
Cian Chujian 1923, the 60th birthday of Jiang's mother. It is located between the mountain piers, about160m away from the cemetery. There are three new houses (five main rooms and six annex rooms after the renovation of 1930), which are the permanent residence of Chiang Kai-shek when he visited the grave. Chiang Kai-shek said that he would always live next to his mother's tomb, so he chose this place every time he went back to Xikou to show that he would not forget his mother's kindness and keep the cemetery well. In memory of loving mother, it is also called Ci 'an (commonly known as Fenzhuang or Land Tomb by locals). A two-bedroom apartment on the left side of Ci 'an is Chiang Kai-shek's permanent residence when he goes back to his hometown to sweep graves or rest in the wild. After the Xi incident, he spent more than 1 10 days here, which was the longest time he lived there, and he lived here for a long time after his third outing in 1949. The two rooms on the right are rooms for entertaining relatives and friends, and the attached rooms are places where grave keepers live, cook and eat. There is a portrait of Wang Caiyu hanging in the main hall, and there are "Crying Mothers" written by Chiang Kai-shek and "Comfort Commander Jiang Wen" written by the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang in China. The Crying Mother expresses Chiang Kai-shek's deep feelings for his mother, Wang Caiyu, and also reveals the inner story of brother discord and family conflict. Comfort for Commander-in-Chief Chiang Kai-shek reflects the internal contradictions of the new Kuomintang warlords and the role played by Chiang Kai-shek in the struggle. In the middle of the stone tablet is inscribed Sun Yat-sen's handwritten ode to Mrs. Jiang, which describes the relationship between Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek and Sun Yat-sen's high evaluation of Chiang's mother. A Brief History of Lady Wang describes Wang Caiyu's life and Chiang Kai-shek's playfulness as a child. In addition to commemorative significance, this monument in the middle is like a wall in the yard, which plays a role in blocking space and purlin, adding a sense of hierarchy and momentum to the building.
After leaving Ci 'an, I climbed hundreds of steps to reach the tomb of Mother Jiang. It is said that in order to choose a suitable cemetery, Chiang Kai-shek did not hesitate to recruit famous Feng Shui teachers from Shanghai, Jiangxi, Guangdong and other places to choose a site in Xikou, and finally chose the fish scales on Baiyan Mountain. From the bird's eye view of Wuling Mountain, the whole mountain peak is like Maitreya meditation; Looking up from the "belly of Maitreya Buddha", the mountain in the east is like a scholar Lama on the top. Overlooking from the mountain, there are three rural areas in Xikou town, where the smoke is curling up. The smoke from rural earthen stoves is like an endless three-wick Qing Xiang, burning incense every day without interruption. With the development of social economy, the countryside is now integrated, and gas stoves have replaced earth stoves with firewood. Since then, smoking has become a permanent regret. Coincidentally, this place is far away from Chiang Kai-shek's father's graveyard, which not only satisfies Chiang Kai-shek's last wish to be buried behind his mother, but also eliminates Chiang Kai-shek's fear.
