The second emperor of the Tang Dynasty, an outstanding politician, strategist, militarist and poet. Li Shimin joined the army as a teenager and went to Yanmenguan to rescue Yang Di. After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin was the official residence of Shang Shuling and You Wuhou.
He was made king of Qin, and later he was made king of Qin. He led his troops to pacify Xue, Liu Wuzhou, Dou Jiande and Wang, and made great contributions to the establishment and unification of the Tang Dynasty.
In the 23rd year of Zhenguan (10,649), on May 26th, Taizong died in the Hanfeng Hall of Cuiwei Palace in Zhong Nanshan. Shi Wen, the first Qin Emperor, was buried in Zhaoling, whose temple name was Taizong.

Extended data:
Emperor Taizong chose Jiuyi Mountain as the site of Zhaoling, which had a strong cultural and political background. In ancient China, with the continuous expansion of surnames and the spread of the theory of Yin and Yang of the Five Elements, the so-called theory of tomb integrity and geomantic omen were gradually improved.
By the Northern and Southern Dynasties, a set of theories to evaluate the quality of Feng Shui had basically formed. Jiuyi Mountain meets all the requirements that Kanyu scholars believe that imperial tombs should have. Since the Tang Dynasty, geomantic scholars generally believe that the geomantic omen in Zhaoling is the best among the imperial tombs in China.
Zhaoling is located at the main peak of Jiuzhang Mountain, 22.5 kilometers east of Liquan County, Shaanxi Province. 70km from Xi, 30km from Xianyang and 25km from Xianyang International Airport. Jiuzhang Mountain is steep, with an altitude of1188m. Located in the Yin of Jinghe River and the Yang of Weihe River.
South of Guanzhong Plain, facing Taibai and Zhongnan peaks; On the east and west sides, the mountains rise and fall as far as Ye Ping. Nine ridges are evenly distributed around the main peak. In ancient times, the small ridge was called jiusan (or "jiusan").
From the Tang Dynasty, the emperor appointed officials to worship Zhaoling on behalf of the imperial court. Due to the south of Zhaoling, there is not much open space in front of the memorial hall, and the road is rugged, which makes it inconvenient to carry stones. Therefore, the monuments of past dynasties are located in the courtyard of Beisima, and over time.
People used to call the North Sima Courtyard "the altar". It is understood that there are more than 30 tombs sacrificed by emperors in past dynasties. The earliest monument to the mausoleum was erected after the Anshi Rebellion was put down, and the words 15 are still on the monument, "Han Yunqing, the governor and imperial envoy gave the flying fish bag".
Secondly, Zhu Yuanzhang, the fourth emperor of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty, sent someone to set up the "Zhu Wen Empire" monument. Among the more than 30 monuments dedicated to the mausoleum, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty erected the most monuments, with at least seven, followed by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, with at least three.
In the tombs of ancient emperors in China, Wei Zhaoling later formed an altar. The main mausoleum of Zhaoling is located at the main peak of Jiuzhang Mountain in the northernmost part of the cemetery, with more than 190 buried tombs around the main peak of Lingshan. Fan-shaped distribution on both sides of Lingshan and due south.
Just like the stars guarding Beichen and Zhaoling guarding, just like the layout of Chang 'an in those days. The imperial court is in the north, and the courtier's office is in the south, which symbolizes the supreme power of the autocratic monarch.
