Why are there so many tombs in Beimang Mountain? How many foreign monarchs are buried among them?
There is a saying in history: Born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, buried in Beimang. We all understand "Suzhou and Hangzhou". The livable places in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River are just like "there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below." So where is this "Beimang"? If you are a reader who is interested in archeology, you must know that Beimang is the place where the most emperors and generals are buried in Chinese history, and people always use "Feng Shui" to explain this.
Beimang refers to Beimang Mountain, which is part of the Qinling Mountains. It stretches for hundreds of miles from east to west, but the average altitude is only more than 300 meters, so it is more worthy of the name to be called hills. The Beimang Mountain we often refer to now refers to a section in Luoyang, Henan, where the mountains and plains are filled with tombs from past dynasties.
As recorded in historical materials, "There is little idle land at the top of Beimang Mountain, filled with old tombs of Luoyang people." According to incomplete statistics, there are hundreds of thousands of tombs on Beimang. Why is this place so "popular"?
Before revealing the secret, it is necessary to talk about the most famous and unexpected tomb in Beimang Mountain, because after reading this, you may naturally understand that these famous people and unknown people are buried together The reason for being here.
There are many tombs buried in Beimang Mountain, the most famous of which are the Twenty-Four Emperors of the Six Dynasties, as well as famous figures in history, such as Liu Xiu, the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Cao Pi of Cao Wei. Adou Liu Chan, Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin, Yang Yanzhao, the sixth general of the Yang family, and Lu Buwei, the prime minister of Qin, as well as Di Renjie, Bao Zheng, Du Fu and others we are most familiar with.
Anyway, countless historical celebrities are buried together here. Although most of them didn't know each other before they were alive, I hope they can meet each other later!
In addition to the famous ones, there are also unexpected ones. For example, there are tombs of foreigners on Beimang Mountain: An Pu, the general of the Parthian Kingdom (in today's Iran), was named General Dingyuan during the Tang Dynasty and guarded the stability of the Tang Dynasty's frontiers. Before he died, he begged to be buried. He was buried in Beimang Mountain, and of course he got his wish in the end. Now you can still see An Pu's tomb in Beimang Mountain.
In addition, foreigners such as Quan Boy and King Fuyu also came to Mangshan to join in the fun. In today's South Korea, there is a mountain not only called Beimang Mountain, but also a popular local cemetery. From here we can see how influential Beimang Mountain is.
In addition to these named people, there are hundreds of thousands of unnamed dignitaries and ordinary people. They also regard Beiman Mountain as their final destination. I don’t know if readers have noticed anything strange now.
There are three words used in the description, one is "get together", the other is "join in the fun", and the last one is "huguan". Maybe when other people analyze the tombs in Beimang Mountain, they will probably use these three words, because this is the hidden meaning behind it - the herd effect theory, which is what we often call "blind obedience".
The theory of herding is actually very easy to understand. In life or on TV, we often see shepherds driving hundreds of sheep at a time, and all the sheep can walk in an orderly manner. This is the herd effect. As long as there is a "leading sheep" walking honestly in front, then all the sheep behind will be able to keep pace. Therefore, we often see many herding children taking care of hundreds of sheep. The reason is here. They make full use of the "leader" of the sheep. "Blind obedience" mentality.
The herding effect is also very common in human society. For example, if a celebrity says that a certain product is good, then a large number of people will rush to buy it. Even when shopping online, people will unconsciously click on "sales" to see which model has sold the most; the most typical one is "Chinese-style tourism", where you get on the bus to sleep, get off to take pictures, and then go wherever there are many people. Where to go and so on.
There is undoubtedly a "leader" behind these phenomena, and for the tombs in Beimang Mountain, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu is undoubtedly the "leader", and there will be others after him. The emperor came here to be buried, which in turn affected the princes, generals and ministers. Then celebrities began to follow the trend. Finally, some nobles and ordinary people also began to follow the trend. So to this day, Beimang Mountain has become Chinese history. The largest group of tombs in the world.
Finally, what the editor wants to say is that everyone is buried together in Beimang Mountain. This has nothing to do with Feng Shui. It is completely a blind obedience mentality of people. When it comes to Feng Shui, China has been vast since ancient times. Is there no other place with good Feng Shui besides Beimang Mountain?
Obviously this is impossible.
In addition, many fallen kings are also buried in this place, which explains the problem... Our Chinese culture is of the same origin. Although thousands of years have passed, our living habits are still influenced by the ancients.
