Surprised by Bai Xialu? Xie 'an Tomb?
Let's review the news first. On February 22nd, 2065438+200665438+22, a netizen posted that there was a big pit in the former site of Nanjing Party School at No.257 Baixia Road, which was probably the tomb of Xie An, a famous figure in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. As we all know, the Xie 'an family, that is, the Taoist family, was a famous family in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Weibo also attached a photo showing that the pit had just been dug.
Xie 'an Tomb? Suddenly appeared in Baixia Road, and this news really caused a sensation in Weibo and WeChat circle of friends. Nanjing Wenguang New Bureau immediately responded that the archaeological site had nothing to do with Xie 'an. Some experts initially concluded that it was a private garden relic during the Six Dynasties, and no suspected tombs were found. At present, the archaeological work is coming to an end, but it is not completely over.
The reporter learned that the Nanjing Cultural Relics Department had held an expert demonstration meeting on this discovery. Experts believe that the location of No.257 Baixia Road is located outside the Jiankang Capital of the Six Dynasties. In addition to the view that it may be a private garden, some scholars believe that this site may be the remains of a canal next to Qingxi.
Where is the tomb of Shizai Xie 'an? Meigang?
So, where is Xie An's tomb? The reporter inquired about relevant information. In many local documents in Nanjing, including the Book of Southern Tang Dynasty and the Book of Jiankang in Ding Jing, Xie 'an's tomb is located in the south of Nanjing. Meigang? Records, too numerous to mention. For example, "Southern Tang Book" introduced that Xie 'an's tomb is at the junction of Meihuanggang? . Expert introduction, Megan? 、? Port of Iraq? Any other records? Meigang? 、? Meiling? In fact, it is a place, that is, the hill in the northeast of Yuhuatai. ? Meigang? Not named after plum blossoms, but because of surnames. Ming Wanli "Rebuilding Jiangning County Records" records that? Meigang satrap Chen Zaihou yue? Meiying camp? There are many pavilions on the top of the mountain. From the Six Dynasties to the Zhao and Song Dynasties, it is now a tourist attraction for everyone. .
Xie An's tomb is in Yuhuatai, which is also well-founded. ? A senior archaeologist in Nanjing told reporters that Meigang? It was an important family cemetery of the Xie family in the Six Dynasties. 1964, the then Nanjing Cultural Relics Protection Committee excavated four tombs on the north side of Qijiashan in the northeast of Yuhuatai, which were confirmed as the tombs of Xie Kun, a literary historian of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Xie Kun is a member of Xie's family and Xie's uncle. Qijiashan is also very close to Meigang.
1984 ~ 1987, archaeologists discovered the cemetery of Xie You, the son of Xie Yi, a general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, in Sijiashan, Dadingfang, Tiexinqiao, which proved that Sijiashan was also the tomb of another Xie family. Xie You is Xie An's nephew.
So Xie An's tomb was originally located in Meigang, which is still credible. There are also documents that Xie An's father Xie Mao was also buried in Meigang after his death! ? Experts are so conclusive.
Xie An's tomb is actually miserable? Funeral? sabotage
However, it can be seen from some documents that Xie 'an's tomb also met in his later years? Unexpected things? . According to records, in 579 AD, at the age of Tai-sui, Shixing Wang looked for a cemetery for his mother Peng and took a fancy to Xie 'an's tomb. This is because, near Meigang, there is a treasure trove of geomantic omen, but it is occupied by the bureaucrats and nobles of the previous generation, which really makes people greedy. So, Chen Shuling did a heinous thing. He ordered people to dig Xie An's grave, throw away Xie An's coffin and bury his mother Shi Peng.
What happened to Xie An's tomb? There are many accounts in the book. "Southern History" and "Chen Shu" records, in? Are you going to send Xie? Three years later, in the 14th year of Taijian (582), Chen Shuling was executed for treason and his mother's grave was transported back to Xie Jia. So some people think that this record implies that Xie 'an's tomb moved back to Meigang. However, some experts pointed out that this statement is not credible.
There is also a Xie 'an tomb in Sanya Gang, Taifu Township, Changxing County, Huzhou City, Zhejiang Province, which is now a cultural relic protection unit. Scholars in Zhejiang generally believe that Xie 'an Tomb in Changxing is the real tomb, that is to say, Xie 'an Tomb was destroyed and moved to Changxing. Shen Yan, a researcher of literature and history in Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, inquired a lot of historical materials for the reporter to confirm the identity of Xie 'an Tomb in Changxing.
Children and grandchildren collect remains and bury Changxing.
Shen Yan told reporters that as early as the Tang Dynasty, there were historical data to confirm this matter, which was recorded by the great calligrapher Yan Zhenqing in the Book of Shilan. Great Wall County has Xie 'an Tomb? ,? The Great Wall? It was the old name of Changxing five generations ago.
During the reign of Tang Huichang, Zhang Wengui, the secretariat of Huzhou, said in more detail in Xing Wu Zalu: Meishan was buried in Jiankang (Nanjing) at the beginning (Xie) and Shuling was buried for him. Sun Yiwu, a descendant of the Great Wall, moved to Sanyagang in the south of the county seat and built a temple to worship Yan. ? That is to say, when Chen Shuling excavated Xie An's tomb, his descendant Xie Yiwu was the magistrate of Great Wall County. Seeing that the cemetery of his ancestors was destroyed, he could only sort out Xie An's remains and move them to Sanyagang in Changcheng County (Changxing County).
Shen Yan said that from the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, Xie 'an's tomb was moved from Nanjing to Changxing in various Changxing county records and Huzhou government records, and there were also a lot of words describing how officials in previous dynasties paid homage to Xie 'an's tomb and rebuilt it several times. Many poets in the past dynasties paid tribute to the tomb of Xie 'an in Changxing and left many poems. In addition, Taifumiao Village, where Xie 'an's tomb is located, was also named after Xie 'an was posthumously awarded as a Taifu.
So the origin of Xie 'an's tomb is still obvious. Xie An was originally buried in Meigang, south of Nanjing, and later moved to Changxing, Zhejiang Province because of being dug, and is still there! ? Shen Yan said.
