Later generations called Liu Xiu "the son of plane", that is, the son of natural selection of the transmitter. It is said that he was very lucky and got great help from God. Of course, the legend belongs to legend, which is actually the result of his own efforts. Liu Xiu is a descendant of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, but his family has declined since childhood. He made great efforts to govern the country and set himself the grand ambition of "being an official as a gold master and marrying a wife as Yin Lihua". Eventually, after suffering, I started from scratch and laid the foundation of the Eastern Han regime. After he unified the world, he granted amnesty, reduced taxes and broke ground. At the same time, he was very good at employing people and dared to employ people during his administration. He gave preferential treatment to the founding heroes, so he won the trust of the people and the sovereign subjects. It is one of the most perfect emperors in history.
But after his death, the choice of tombs was particularly puzzling to future generations. Generally, the first choice for imperial tombs is to be near mountains and rivers. According to Feng Shui, this place has a broad vision, which can not only represent their broad minds, but also benefit future generations. Jiangshan can be passed down from generation to generation. Liu Xiu's mausoleum was built on the Yellow River beach opposite the North Mangshan Mountain, but it formed a pattern of pillow river riding mountains, which was not optimistic about Feng Shui. What is the significance of Liu Xiuxuan, who has more power than before?
According to historical research, the reason why he chose the mausoleum on the Yellow River beach has a lot to do with his humility. According to legend, he thought he didn't create any benefits for the people, and the funeral was simple. The funeral requirements refer to Emperor Xiaowen's system, and the requirements for his mausoleum are: the land he built only has two or three inclines, so there is water flowing because of the inaction of the mountain pond ",that is to say, the mausoleum must not occupy more than three inclines. Don't make the mausoleum too big, just like mountains and hills. Moreover, before he died, he confessed that the funerary objects don't need heavy metals such as gold, silver and copper, just pottery. According to Liu Xiu's will, later generations built his mausoleum simply and solemnly.
Therefore, Liu Xiu's cemetery was built on the Yellow River beach because he cared about people's sufferings and advocated frugality, which was in the same strain as his work as an emperor.
