The Immortal Mystery Chapter 22 Tombs in History
"Isn't there still the Three Kingdoms and the Two Jin Dynasties between the Qin and Han Dynasties and the Northern and Southern Dynasties?" The jar suddenly interjected again.
"Yo, I can't see that you're so good at history?" I looked at the jar with some disbelief.
Tanzi smiled: "Don't forget, my father's favorite thing to watch is the old version of CCTV's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and I watched it over and over again. When he was at home, I couldn't grab the TV, so I had to follow him. The more I watched, the more I naturally learned about the history of that period. When he said these words, he whispered them in my ear. He glanced at Jiang Jie with his eyes as he spoke, obviously not wanting her to hear it, for fear of lowering his favorability towards him.
"The Three Kingdoms period was also a troubled time, and many people were afraid that their tombs would be stolen after their deaths, so they took the form of thin burials." Professor Jin explained.
The altar suddenly patted his head: "Yes, at that time, there was Cao Cao, the ancestor of the tomb robbery, Cao Mengde, and his Jinjin lieutenant here, who would dare to bury him, so he must not be swept away by a swarm of bees?" ”
"That's true." Professor Jin said with a smile, "Although the Northern and Southern Dynasties advocated thin burials, the murals in the tombs have made great progress, so the murals in the tombs of that period are very exquisite." After the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The Sui Dynasty lasted not long, it was the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Tang Dynasty was connected below, and there are also shadows of these two periods on the tombs. ”
"What about the Tang Dynasty?"
Professor Jin said: "The Tang Dynasty can be said to be the pinnacle of ancient Chinese burials, the most famous of which is the Eighteen Tombs of Guanzhong. ”
"What is the 'Eighteen Tombs of Guanzhong'?" Jar asked.
Professor Jin explained: "Except for the Heling Tomb of Zhaozong and the Wenling Tomb of Emperor Wai, the rest of the imperial tombs of the Tang Dynasty were all concentrated in the Guanzhong area, so they are also called the 'Eighteen Tombs of Guanzhong'. The Eighteen Tombs of Guanzhong, which are very similar to some royal tombs in the Han Dynasty, are also built by mountains. Li Shimin's Zhaoling Tomb has the first saying that "the mountain is a mausoleum". ”
"'The method of burying the mountain, if you call the valley.'" To build a tomb in the rolling mountains, of course, you have to choose a flat place with the mountains and water in the background. I said.
Professor Jin nodded: "As for the funeral, it is even more luxurious, but it is precisely because of this that it will continue to attract one tomb robber after another to patronize." Even the tomb of Li Shimin, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was not spared. Now in the eighteen tombs in Guanzhong, there are no destroyed and stolen digging, only the Qianling Tomb where Li Zhi and Wu Zetian are buried together. ”
"Why? Could it be that tomb robbers from ancient times to the present day have been so kind? Leave Qianling as a cultural treasure to the future generations of the Chinese nation? Jarzi asked.
Professor Jin smiled and said, "Those tomb robbers are greedy for money, how can they be so kind? It's just that every time someone wants to move the Qianling, there will always be a lot of wind and rain, making it difficult for people to enter. Those tomb robbers thought that this was the Heavenly Blessing Tomb, so they returned empty-handed every time......"
"If you want me to say, this is just a coincidence, it's just that those tomb robbers are thieves and think it is a curse, so they will escape in fear." Jiang Jie expressed his opinion.
Professor Jin said: "It is precisely because of this that the Qianling Tomb has been completely preserved. ”
The altar whispered to me, "Is this really a coincidence?" ”
I whispered to the altar: "The location of the Qianling Tomb is said to have been jointly chosen by the two great feng shui masters at that time, Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng, do you think it is so simple?" ”
"Next up is the Song Dynasty." Professor Jin continued, "The tombs of the Northern Song Dynasty emperors are all located on hills, and the scale is not large compared to the Tang Dynasty, but compared with normal tombs, there are still some strange places. ”
"What's weird?" The altar and the others all asked.
"The general tombs, including the tombs of the common people, pay attention to the mountains and waters, which is called 'there is a photo in front and a backing' in feng shui, which is an excellent feng shui place. However, the mausoleum of the Song Dynasty went the opposite way, facing the mountains and rivers......"
"I've heard of this," I said...... "From the perspective of feng shui, the surname Zhao belongs to the five-tone Guijiao, and it has to be buried in a high mountain and high water place to shade the descendants, so the emperor's tombs in the Song Dynasty are all backed by water." ”
"What is a five-tone guijiao?" Jiang Jie asked curiously.
I explained: "'Wuyin Guijiao' is the method of 'Wuyin surname Li', which attributes the surname to the five tones of Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, and Yu, and then corresponds to the five tones of earth, metal, wood, fire, and water in the five elements of yin and yang, so that the best burial location and time corresponding to the surname can be found geographically." The surname "Zhao" belongs to the "horn" sound, and the five elements belong to the wood, which is conducive to the direction of non bing, and must be "the southeast dome, the northwest is down", which means that the southeast is high and the northwest is low. There is a Songyue Shao Room in the south of the Northern Song Dynasty Emperor's Mausoleum District, and there is the Yellow River in the north, which can be regarded as 'piling the Yellow River on the head and pedaling on the Songyue', which is a good place for 'high mountains and high waters' in feng shui. ”
"I see, I thought it was something mysterious?" Jiang Jie said with a smile.
I said, "It's easy to say, but it's another thing to do!" The location of the Northern Song Dynasty Emperor's Mausoleum may have taken a long time to find before it was finally settled in its current location! ”
The altar pouted: "Then I don't see where I can go?" The Song Dynasty is a character who has always been bullied in my impression, first Liao, then Jin, and then Mongolia, the feng shui of the emperor's tomb...... I think it's average! ”
Professor Jin said: "In fact, the Song Dynasty also advocated thin burials, although it is not a thin burial in the real sense, but compared with the Tang Dynasty, where extravagance prevailed, it can indeed be regarded as a thin burial. As for the tombs of the Liao Dynasty in the same period, it can be said that thick burials became a trend. The tombs of some nobles contain countless burial utensils......"
The jar pouted his gums and said, "There is nothing in the Liao tomb we went to before?" He also said that there were countless funeral utensils, and I thought that as long as I arrived one step late, there would be nothing left. ”
"Come on, how long has it been, and it's still there? Who made you late? If you had been born two or three hundred years earlier, you would have had a share of the things in the tomb! I said to the altar.
"It's not a matter of being born sooner or later, the main thing is that the threshold of the tomb robbery industry is too low, no matter when or which dynasty it is, the competitive pressure is not small. Fortunately, all dynasties have cracked down on tomb robberies, and if no one cares about it, they will not be able to dig pits for the whole people? The jar chattered quietly.
"The Jin Dynasty is different from the Liao Dynasty, although they are all ethnic minorities, but they also advocate thin burials, so there are not too many burial objects in the tombs. As for the tomb of the Yuan Dynasty, there are not many discoveries. The Ming and Qing dynasties were also built in accordance with the rules of the mountains and rivers, surrounded by mountains. ”
