Qianling Mausoleum is a unique mausoleum in China and even in the world where emperors from two dynasties and a couple of emperors were buried together. Inside, Gaozong Li Zhi, the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in Chinese history, are buried. It is a nationally protected cultural relic.
The unit was built in AD 684 and took 23 years to complete.
There is such an interesting legend about the location of Qianling Mausoleum:
Not long after Tang Gaozong ascended the throne, he sent his uncle Changsun Wuji and Taishi Ling Li Chunfeng, who was in charge of astronomy and calendar, to choose a place for his mausoleum.
One day, the two of them looked up Mount Liang, and saw three towering peaks of the mountain, with the main peak reaching straight into the sky. To the east was Wushui and Jiuwei Mountain, to the west was Qishui and Loujing Mountain, and Qishan was connected. Wu and Qishui were connected.
They hug each other in front of the mountain to form a water wall, surrounding the dragon energy in the ground. Liangshan is a rare "dragon vein holy land" in the world.
After Changsun Wuji and Li Chunfeng selected the site for the mausoleum, they returned to Beijing and reported to Emperor Gaozong. After Yuan Tiangang heard about it, he strongly opposed it.
It turned out that he had visited Liangshan to select the site for Emperor Gaozu's mausoleum and was well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of the mountain's Feng Shui. He said to Emperor Gaozong: "Liangshan looks like a treasure land of Feng Shui from the outside, but upon closer inspection, there are many shortcomings: 1.
Although Liangshan is surrounded by water to the east and west, which can surround the dragon spirit, it is cut off from Taizong's dragon vein. If the people choose this place to bury their ancestors, it can prosper for three generations. However, as the site of the emperor's mountain mausoleum, it is feared that the country will be in danger after three generations. The Dragon Vein of the Tang Dynasty starts from
A branch of the Kunlun Mountains crosses the Yellow River and enters Guanzhong. It starts with Qishan and spreads eastward to Jiuwei Mountain, Jinsu Mountain, Saga Mountain and Yao Mountain. Now Taizong has been buried in Jiuwei Mountain as the head of the dragon. Your Majesty is not allowed to live in the future.
First, Kuang Liangshan is not the head of a dragon, but the tail of the dragon's veins in the Zhou Dynasty. The exhaust will surely decline, and His Majesty will be unable to govern the country. Secondly, the north peak of Liangshan is high, and there are two peaks in front that look like female breasts. From a distance, the entire mountain shape looks like a young woman lying flat.
His Majesty chose the mausoleum here, fearing that it will be controlled by women from now on. The third is that the main peak of Liangshan Mountain is straight and beautiful, belonging to the wooden grid, and the second peak in the south is round and sharp, belonging to the golden grid. Although the three peaks are tall and straight, they are flat when viewed from a distance, and they are earth-like.
Metal can overcome wood, earth can generate metal, and the dragon energy of the entire mountain helps metal. Under the main peak of the underground palace camp, your majesty will be controlled by the people of Jinge. In my humble opinion, if the mausoleum is sited on this mountain, your majesty will be sure to do it in the future.
Injured by a woman!"
After listening to Yuan Tiangang's grand remarks, Emperor Gaozong hesitated and withdrew from the court. Wu Zetian's confidants had already informed Wu, who was very happy to hear it. She secretly thought: When she was a child, she heard from her father that Yuan Tiangang said that I would be able to do something in the future.
Becoming a female emperor seemed to be coming true. In the evening, Gaozong was given a pillow blow. Naturally, he praised Changsun Wuji and belittled Yuan Tiangang.
Whether the Qianling Underground Palace was stolen and the treasures inside it have always been a matter of great concern to people.
According to literature records, during the Five Dynasties, when Wen Tao was the governor of Yaozhou in the Later Liang Dynasty, "all the tombs of the Tang Dynasty within its territory were excavated and the gold and treasures hidden there were retrieved... However, the Qianling Mausoleum was not affected by wind and rain."
During the peasant uprising at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao became very powerful. Due to lack of military resources, he used 400,000 soldiers to dig out the Qianling Mausoleum. He dug a large trench more than 40 meters deep and failed to find the entrance to the tomb. Later, due to the pursuit by the army, Huang Chao was
They had to withdraw their troops angrily. To this day, there is still a deep ditch on the west side of the main peak of Liangshan Mountain called "Huangchaogou".
In the early years of the Republic of China, warlords fought in a melee and looting of ancient tombs became common. Under the guise of protecting Qianling Mausoleum, Kuomintang general Sun Lianzhong led his men to station in Qianling Mausoleum and used real gun and artillery exercises to cover a division's troops in excavating Qianling Mausoleum. The soldiers used explosives to blow up the Qianling Mausoleum.
They visited many places, but failed to find the entrance to the tomb. Later, when the soldiers were digging blindly, a thunderstorm suddenly broke out and continued for several days. Rumors spread among the army that Wu Zetian had appeared and so on... The excavation failed, so Sun Lianzhong hurriedly led his troops
Left Qianling.
Throughout the ages, many criminals have racked their brains and tried their best to find the entrance to the underground palace and tomb of Qianling Mausoleum.
