Ganling is located on Liangshan Mountain, 6 kilometers north of Ganxian County, Shaanxi Province, and 76 kilometers away from the ancient city of xi 'an. It was built in 684 AD, and it took 23 years for the project to be basically completed.
The dry burial chamber consists of three burial chambers, namely, the pyramid-shaped mound, the cave, the patio, the tunnel, the front, the middle and the back, or the ear chamber. In the middle room, there is a coffin bed to put the emperor's Zigong, that is, the coffin. The bottom of Zigong is covered with moisture-proof and anti-corrosion materials, and there is a "seven-star board" on it, on which seats and mattresses are placed, and clothes and "six jade" such as Jue, Zhang, Bi, Hu and Huang are placed next to them.
There is a stone bed in the back room of the underground palace, on which are clothes, swords, thousands of kinds of food and the preferences of the deceased. There is a "treasure account" in the front room, and there is a shrine in the account, surrounded by jade "treasure", "funeral book" and "funeral book". In addition, a large number of precious funerary objects are placed in the ear chambers on both sides of the cave and in front of and behind the tunnel stone gate.
Extended data:
Ganling was stolen for the first time in Huang Chao. These people are farmers, and they are very skilled in using shovels. Soon, half of Liangshan was razed to the ground, leaving a 40-meter-deep "Huang Chao ditch".
However, Ganling seems to have no entrance at all. Later, the troops of the Tang Dynasty rallied to launch a counterattack against Chang 'an, but Huang Chao was unwilling to flee empty-handed. Huang Chao, who claims to be a scholar, is too stupid to know that Ganling faces south. The emperor of the Tang Dynasty deliberately buried the gravel produced by the construction in a place more than 300 meters away from the tomb door. In other words, he dug in the wrong direction.
The second person who extended an evil hand to Ganling was Wen Tao, the envoy of Yaozhou in the Five Dynasties. It seems that this man was born to make trouble for the mausoleum of Emperor Li Tang. Before Ganling, 17 Tang tombs had been excavated, and only Ganling was left. But his ideal was shattered here.
When Huang Like was in court, he also mobilized tens of thousands of troops to dig Ganling in broad daylight, but he was attacked by wind and rain three times when he went up the mountain. The weather cleared up as soon as the troops retreated. Wen Tao really couldn't figure out what was going on, but he didn't go any further, so he gave up the idea. Gan Ling escaped the second robbery at this point.
The most dangerous thing is the third time. This time, it is not an army of 400,000, but a modern reorganization division. The tools of grave robbery are no longer hoes and shovels, but machine guns and cannons that cut stones like vegetables. The mastermind was Sun Lianzhong, a Kuomintang general in the Republic of China.
He led his men to learn how Sun Dianying blew up the tombs of Empress Dowager Cixi and Qianlong, buried a pot in Liangshan to cook and set up camp. Under the cover of military exercises, black powder blasted the pyramid-shaped mound and erected three layers of stones.
Just as he was about to go in, a thick smoke suddenly appeared, spiraling up and turning into a tornado. Suddenly, the sky was dark and rocks were flying about. Seven Shaanxi soldiers bore the brunt and immediately vomited blood and died. The others dared not go any further and ran out screaming. In this way, Gan Ling finally escaped the last bullet.
