Where is Liu Bei's tomb? Why is it so weird that Liu Bei's Tomb was stolen?
Liu Bei's tomb was called Hui Ling in history. West of the main hall (Liu Bei Hall) of Wuhou Temple in the southern suburbs of Chengdu. In the third year of Zhangwu (223), Liu Bei died in Yong 'an Palace (in fengjie county, Chongqing), Zigong returned to Chengdu in May, and Hui Ling was buried in August. Later, due to Zhuge Liang's intention, Mrs. Gan and Mrs. Wu were buried here together.
The tomb rises from the ground in the shape of a circular pile, with a height of 12 m and a circumference of 180 m, covering an area of 3 mu and resembling a hill. The trees on the roof are uneven, the grass is green, and the cypress trees in front of the grave are dense. Surrounded by high walls, ten thousand poles of bamboo, swaying branches and leaves, quiet and quiet. Mausoleum architecture consists of zhaobi, gate, Shinto, sleeping hall, etc. Arranged on the north-south central axis, it is self-contained: Zhaobi is 10 m long and 5 m high, with diamond-shaped stone carvings embedded in the middle and Ssangyong playing beads carved around it, which are in harmony with the four-corner stone carving bats. The gate is12m wide and 7m deep. It is divided into three bays, with the plaque of "Han Zhaolie Mausoleum" hanging in the middle. There are cypresses and green trees on both sides of Shinto, which are uneven.
The sleeping hall is 1 1m wide and 8m deep. It is built on a platform with a height of 0.4m There are three stone tablets embedded in the left and right walls, which are inscriptions left by later generations for Hui Ling.
In the center of the main hall is a three-legged iron tripod cast in the Ming Dynasty, with simple shape, bulging belly and ears and complex patterns, with a diameter of 0.7 meters and a height of 1.24 meters.
After the sleeping hall, Quefang Building stands tall (built in the 7th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty 1668). There is a tombstone embedded in the center of the bird house, and the arc-shaped monument hat is engraved with the painted relief pattern of Shuanglong robbing treasure. In the middle of the monument, seven characters of "Tomb of Han Zhaolie" were engraved in regular script, which was rebuilt in the fifty-third year of Qing Qianlong (1788).
Behind the finch house is Liu Bei's Tomb, a thousand-year-old tomb.
In 223 AD, when Liu Bei attacked Wu Dong, he was defeated by the city pavilion and returned to Bai Di City, where he died. Where was Liu Bei buried after his death?
According to historical records, after Liu Bei failed to attack Wu, he retreated to Baidicheng. He died in April 223. In May, Zhuge Liang helped Lingshu back to Chengdu. Buried in August. According to historical records, people think that Liu Bei's tomb is in Wuhou Temple in Chengdu. Because the above-mentioned historical materials come from Chen Shou's "The History of the Three Kingdoms", Chen Shou is the history of Guan Ge in Shu and Han Dynasties (engaged in the management of documents and archives). Having lived in Shu Han for more than 30 years, he must know the burial place of Liu Bei. After Liu Bei's death, his body was transported back to Chengdu from Fengjie and buried with his wife Wu (now Wuhou Temple). There are indeed buildings in the Liu Bei's Tomb of Wuhou Temple today. In the past, overgrown cemeteries were rammed with soil, with cypress trees on the tombs and bluestone strips around them, which were more than I meters high. It looks noble and noble. When planting trees, people in Wuhou Temple Museum accidentally found many bricks of Shu and Han Dynasties in a pit dug by the side of Liu Bei's Tomb's closed soil. These bricks are located about 300 cm deep at the edge of Liu Beiji's earth seal. Bricks are similar in color to clay, but very hard in texture. One side of the brick is engraved with patterns, which is very similar to the common bricks in the Eastern Han Dynasty in Chengdu Plain. This was specially burned for the purpose of building a mausoleum at that time. These also prove the reliability of the records about the tombs of Hui Ling and Liu Bei in the Historical Documents such as the History of the Three Kingdoms.
People think that Liu Bei's tomb is in Lianhua Dam, Pengshan, Sichuan. People who hold this view first refute it.
In ancient Egypt, when people made mummies, they would cut a small incision in the abdomen of the deceased and take out the internal organs such as stomach, liver and intestine to prevent bacteria from multiplying, so as to achieve the purpose of not rotting the corpse. In ancient China, it was impossible to adopt this method. The ancients in China thought that skin and hair were taken from parents, but in the Three Kingdoms period, even a haircut was regarded as a punishment. What's more, as a generation of emperors, people can't take out his internal organs.
Therefore, experts agree that Liu Bei's body, which died in summer, will not rot for 30 days at most. In other words, it is impossible for Zhuge Liang to drag Liu Bei's stinking body and bury Liu Bei in Chengdu after more than three months of trekking. Based on the above analysis, some experts believe that Lotus Village at the foot of Muma Mountain and Pengshan Mountain is Liu Bei's burial place, while Chengdu Wuhou Temple is only Liu Bei's "cenotaph". Mumashan and Pengshan are the best places for literati tombs, with more than 5,000 cliff tombs in Han Dynasty. Nevertheless, the geographical location of these tombs can't be compared with the royal tombs in Lianhua Village. Lotus Village in Muma Township has a legend of the Imperial Tomb since ancient times. There are more than 65,438+000 mu of imperial tombs here. Farmers nearby said that 80% of the people in their village are surnamed Liu, which has been passed down from generation to generation. It is said that Liu Bei lies in the imperial tomb. The imperial tomb is surrounded by nine hills not far apart. The ancient Mr. Feng Shui also called this area "looking back at Kowloon". In addition to Lotus Village, China also has the Ming Tombs in Beijing. This kind of "looking back at Kowloon" can only be enjoyed by emperors in feudal times. Moreover, Mumashan is Liu Bei's racecourse, and four of Liu Bei's officials are Pengshan people.
Grave bricks dug up by villagers are scattered all over the floor and can be seen everywhere. There are several six or seven-meter-long stolen holes on the top side of the tomb, which may be the traces of grave robbers' "patronage". Looking down the hole, it is all compacted with a layer of concrete and a layer of yellow mud. A guanxian stone weighing 10 ton was also found near the tomb. This imperial tomb covers a total area of over 65,438+000 mu, and it is all rammed by a mixture of lime, yellow mud and this guanxian stone. Because the tomb building is mixed with lime, there are no ants, mosquitoes and the like above the mountainside of the imperial tomb. Although Liu Bei claimed to be a descendant of the royal family after Wang Jing in Zhongshan, he was born in poverty, his father died young and made a living by selling shoes. Nevertheless, Liu Bei still can't get rid of the influence of the heavy burial in Han Dynasty. According to the system, the emperor ascended the throne for one year, and one third of the world's tribute was used to build the emperor's mausoleum. Liu Bei has been in office for three years, and despite the constant wars with Wei and Wu, there is still enough time to build a tomb. But under the conditions at that time, where did you get so much yellow mud that was not available locally? So how did this boulder get to Lianhua Village from hundreds of miles away? It is still a mystery.
Because there is no good corpse protection technology, Liu Bei's body can't be transported to Chengdu for burial. Lianhua Village in Pengshan Muma Township is only half a day's drive from Chengdu. The body of shellfish transported to Lianhua Village will not rot, will it? This unanswerable question reminds people of the legendary saying that Liu Bei was buried in Fengjie. Liu Bei is the king of troubled times. In order to prevent grave robbery, Liu Bei's funeral was held in four ways at the same time, in order to confuse those who tried to rob the tomb.
Where is Liu Bei buried? Only through archaeological excavations can it be confirmed, so this question is still a mystery with no answer.
