Why is Luoyang, the capital of Wu Zetian, buried in Xi 'an?

1, anti-theft

To say which emperor's tomb is the most difficult to dig, it is probably the dry tomb of Wu Zetian. At the end of the ancient Tang Dynasty, the rebel army Huang Chao mobilized 400,000 troops to dig, and recently the Kuomintang general Sun Lianzhong bombed the tomb. However, the dry grave made them daunting and finally gained a foothold.

It is said that Li and Yuan Zhenggang were responsible for the site selection of Wu Zetian's mausoleum at that time. Both of them are masters of geomantic metaphysics, and finally they chose a geomantic treasure house in Liangshan, namely Ganling. According to legend, Liangshan is like a supine woman's body, with the north peak as the head and the south two peaks as the chest, which is beneficial to the female host and is a perfect match with Wu Zetian.

3. Will (male name)

No matter how powerful a woman is, it is inevitable to be "melodramatic" in front of love. Anyway, Wu Zetian's husband, Emperor Li Zhi, was buried in Liangshan, and she wanted to "snuggle up" after her death. In addition, through this move, the whole world is also the best example. After all, the concept of "patriarchal society" was still very strong at that time. Finally, he also hopes that through this move, the contradiction between the Li family can be eased, which can be seen from her initiative to return the world to the Li family that she is somewhat guilty.

Attention: Luoyang in the east and Chang 'an in the northwest. For a long time, these two cities were the first choice of the capital. Chang 'an is located in Guanzhong, with Qinling Mountains and Weihe River as barriers. There are fertile fields inside, supplies outside and a large population. Once things change, we can be prepared for long-term resistance. Luoyang has been the center of the world since Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties. Located in the hinterland of Kyushu, with vertical and horizontal hills, mountains and rivers and dense water systems, Luohe Plain is suitable for farming. It is also a good treasure.

Wu Zetian gave up Chang 'an, whose capital was built for many years, and moved to Luoyang. It is not the advantage of Chang 'an in the past, but the change of the new situation that forced her to make such a choice.

One of the reasons why Wu Zetian moved to Luoyang was that Chang 'an, as the capital, was too big to support. As the national capital, it is bound to gather a large population. Being an official in business, peddling husbands and pawns, a large number of royal families and a huge population make Chang 'an look like a bloated fat man. They need a lot of materials. This is difficult for Chang 'an to satisfy himself. Although there is cultivated land here, we need to rely more on imported food to meet our consumption.
