1. It is said that this is because when she died in the tenth year of Zhenguan, Emperor Wende told Emperor Taizong to be frugal. She repeatedly asked Emperor Taizong: "Peace is not conducive to people, and you can't kill people. I hope that the hills are worthy of the world, but the mountains are graves and the tiles are used. " "Please be buried because of the mountain, there is no need to start a grave." (Book of the Old Tang Dynasty, Volume V) Empress Wende was buried in Zhaoling after her death. Regarding the reason why the mountain is the mausoleum system, after the burial of Empress Wende in November of the same year, the stone tablet inscribed by Emperor Taizong said: "If you make the world your home, why are things in the mausoleum?" They are his own. " Today, because Jiuzhang Mountain is the mausoleum, there are no treasures, no men and women, no utensils, only civilian tools, which are easy to steal and never tire of keeping. "Here, more appropriately, because the mountain is a grave, you don't hide gold and jade, not so much for frugality as for' stealing your heart'; When Yu Shinan wrote to Emperor Taizong, he said: "Since ancient times, there has been no grave that has not been excavated. "So in the early Tang Dynasty, taking the mountain as the mausoleum was nothing more than using the majestic situation of the mountain to prevent theft.
2. Legend has it that after Emperor Taizong established the mausoleum because of the mountain, he found two senior geomancers, Li and Yuan Tiangang, who were familiar with astronomy and geography at that time, and asked them to travel separately to choose a place for themselves and the queen a hundred years later. After receiving the order, the two men met in the north and south for three years and reported to me in Beijing. After breaking up, Li traveled to the north and visited all over the country. On this day, he came to the boundary of Liquan and found a mountain towering like a giant column. After reading it, he was very happy. Climbing this mountain is more spectacular. Shui Piao, the vast Weihe River, is in its place in front of it, with many rivers winding around it, and Qinchuan in 800 miles overlooking it, showing the domineering of the king of the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Therefore, Li quickly meditated cross-legged. Finally, he found an acupoint in the middle of a ridge halfway up the mountain and buried a copper coin as a mark. Then, he moved on until that day in my life, and he didn't find a more satisfactory place. It is said that Yuan Tiangang chose the road to the south, and the search all the way was fruitless. Just when he was upset, he also came to Jiuzhang Mountain, the land of Liquan, and one by one, he brightened up, put the silver needle in the place he thought was satisfactory, and returned to Beijing happily all the way. After they returned to Beijing, they came to the palace together to report to me. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, was surprised to hear that they all chose Jiuzhang Mountain! Let's take a look with them. It turns out that Yuan Tiangang's silver needle was inserted from the copper hole buried by Li, which has to be amazing. In this way, Zhaoling, the tomb of Emperor Taizong of Ming Dynasty, is located in Jiuyi Mountain.
Second, the introduction:
Zhaoling is the mausoleum of Emperor Taizong and Empress Wende. It is located on Jiuyang Mountain, 22.5 kilometers northwest of Liquan County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, and is a national AAA-level tourist attraction.
From the time when Empress Wende was buried in the tenth year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (636) to the twenty-ninth year of Kaiyuan (743), the construction of Zhaoling took 107, with a circumference of 60 kilometers and an area of 200 square kilometers. * * There are more than 80 tombs/kloc-0, which are the "Eighteen Tombs of the Tang Dynasty" in Guanzhong and the imperial cemetery in China. It is a representative imperial mausoleum in the Tang Dynasty, and is known as "the famous mausoleum in the world".
Zhaoling is a physical witness of the early Tang Dynasty to its prosperous Tang Dynasty, and a rare treasure house of cultural relics for understanding and studying the politics, economy and culture of the autocratic monarchy in Tang Dynasty and even in China.
