What is unique about the location of the original mausoleum? What's amazing about architecture?
Because of this, emperors who built their capital in the Central Plains wanted to be buried in Beijiang River after their death, in order to bring happiness to future generations and consolidate the country forever.
Therefore, in Mangshan, kings of the Warring States, Qin, Han, Cao Wei, Western Jin, Northern Wei, Eastern Wei, Tang, Hou Liang, Southern Tang, Song, Yuan and Ming Dynasties and outstanding figures at that time were buried. It runs through the whole ancient history of China, from the Yin King, the kings of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty to De Renjie, Du Fu and Shi Shouxin.
Among them, there are five Eastern Han tombs buried in Beimang, namely: the original tomb of Emperor Guangwu, Gong Ling of Andi, Dingling of Shun Di, Huailing of Chongdi and Wenling of Lingdi. However, one of the five mausoleums is considered to be? Do something unconventional? That's the tomb of Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Han Dynasty. The reason for this is that the orientation of its construction violates the law of traditional mausoleum construction.
Even ordinary people can? There is a river in front and a mountain behind? That place is considered to be a good place for burial, not to mention the construction of the mausoleum, which pays more attention to it. But Liu Xiu's mausoleum is in the south of Mangshan Mountain and the north of the Yellow River, which is equivalent to? Is there a mountain in front of the house and a river behind it? Contrary to the image of good luck.
Speaking of Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, he is the grandson of Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang IX and the son of Liu Qin.
As we all know, Emperor Guangwu was a wise king, diligent and loving the people, and ruled the country by judo. However, why did such an outstanding leader choose the burial place facing south and north after his death? It's really puzzling.
In fact, in China, the theory of geomantic omen has a long history, especially in the construction of imperial tombs. Site selection, orientation, architectural style and style should not be sloppy. Then, why did the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty choose such a place that violated the theory of Feng Shui to build a mausoleum?
Legend has it that Liu Xiu's son is always against others because he is disobedient and belongs to the Xiong Haizi type. So before he died, he told his son about the aftermath, deliberately saying the opposite, letting his son build his tomb on the top of the neighboring mountain after his death, and said to his son: I was born short of water for my father. After I die, you should bury me in the Yellow River to avoid thirst. ?
Originally, Liu Xiu thought that his son would come against him, but unexpectedly, in the face of his dying father, his son was uncharacteristically crying and vowed: Son, I am unfilial. I have never heard my father's words since I was a child. Now, I want to confess, and I will handle your funeral according to my father's orders. ? When Liu Xiu heard what his son said, he was really speechless and had to leave with a sigh.
Later, Liu Xiu's son published the testamentary edict and recruited skilled craftsmen from all over the world to build the dragon boat hub. After his death, he threw the pivot into the rushing Yellow River. But strangely, the river suddenly roared and rolled north. Then, the place where the coffin landed instantly became flat, and a mausoleum rose from the ground. It is said that although the original mausoleum is located on the Yellow River beach, even the Yellow River flood has never flooded for many years.
In fact, the original mausoleum is not only unique in orientation, but also very complicated in internal design. Sanqi? Said.
The first miracle, the miracle of cypress:
Although the location of Guangwudi Mausoleum is different in peacetime, the surrounding environment is still very good, with Mangshan Mountain in the south and the Yellow River in the north. This is a beautiful place with lush vegetation. Moreover, there are 1500 ancient cypresses in the park, which makes the whole cemetery surrounded by lush pines and cypresses, tall and solemn. In addition, in front of the mausoleum, there is a dome, which reads? Tomb of Emperor Guangwu, the ancestor of Zhongxing in the Eastern Han Dynasty? In that case.
There are 28 giant cypresses planted on both sides of the aisle in front of the temple, which are mainly used to symbolize the 28 generals of Yuntai who helped Liu Xiu conquer the world and set the social course, commonly known as the 28 cypresses. Not only that, these cypress species are also very strange. What are they? Birds and cypresses? And then what? Someone you loved? Two kinds, can be called a must in cypress trees. When people are here. Birds and cypresses? Clap your hand, and birds will chirp at the top of the forest.
Second, Han Ling Xiaoyan:
According to relevant records, every year around Tomb-Sweeping Day, when the weather is fine, the ethereal purple gas rises in the cemetery, which is as light as a cloud and slowly flutters from west to east, gradually covering the whole cemetery. In the local area, there is also a saying that crops will be harvested in any year when purple gas rises. Even in modern times, people expect purple smoke to rise and pray for a bumper harvest every spring and March before Qingming comes.
Third, Emperor Xian of Han lay on his back:
Every year when autumn leaves fall, people stand 300 meters west of the original mausoleum and look east. The whole primitive mausoleum looks like Liu Xiu lying on his back. He wore a crown and a robe, with the Yellow River as his pillow and Beimang Mountain pushed under his feet. In this landscape painting, Liu Xiu is 240 meters long, and her head is composed of 50-meter-high ancient cypress in the north of the mountain. Her face is uneven, and even her facial features and beard look clear. Breeze blowing, cypress branches dancing, just like Liu Xiu's beard fluttering, very strange.
If there is an opportunity, friends must see it with their own eyes, and they will lament the strange structure of the mausoleum building. Although Liu Xiu didn't want his mausoleum to be too luxurious, later generations still built it magnificently, which inevitably led to grave robbers? Care? .
In fact, in addition to the above three wonders, there is another one about Yuanling. Tomb cash dragon? This legend is widely circulated.
Legend has it that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, a grave robber came to Mangshan and wanted to sneak into Liu Xiufen to steal treasures. After many inquiries, he learned that if he went to Xie Jia Mill to buy a silk basket, he could find someone to help him open the Liu Xiufen. The grave robbers spent all their savings and bought silk baskets. He hung the silk basket on the door of Qingshi tomb, and then heard a loud noise, and the door of the tomb slowly opened.
Later, the grave robbers carefully walked into the tomb, but accidentally saw Liu Zheng sitting under the lamp reading a book. When Liu Xiu heard the sound, he looked up and saw the thief. Then, he shouted at the grave robbers, scaring them to run out. But as the saying goes, the thief didn't leave empty, the grave robber ran away, and he was buried with a brocade box.
After the thief escaped from the ancient tomb, he found a secluded place and secretly opened the brocade box to see what was inside. However, what he didn't expect was that at the moment when the brocade box was opened, a golden dragon flew out of the box. At this time, it began to rain cats and dogs immediately. After hovering in the sky for a moment, Jinlong flew into the sky and disappeared.
This scene surprised the grave robbers and scared the daylights out of them. After that, he often talked to people about it, but he still had a lingering fear. From then on, no one dared to dig the original tomb.
The stolen brocade box was also recognized as the funerary object of that year in the process of reselling and was taken into custody by the government. In fact, there are many legends about this, which also adds a little mystery to the original mausoleum. But in fact, these legends did not stop the thief's black hand. The most serious excavation of the original mausoleum is Dong Zhuo's.
