In China, there is a saying called? Born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, buried in Beijiang River. ? Many people in China hope to be buried on Mangshan Mountain in the north of Luoyang.
The Tang Dynasty poet Wang Jianyou said:? There is little idle soil at the top of Beimang Mountain, which is all the old graves of Luoyang people? And Bai Juyi stayed? Why don't you follow Dongluo Water and whose family is buried in North Mangshan Mountain? This poem. In the history of China, twenty-four emperors were buried in Mangshan.
Here, the imperial tombs were very dense for a long time. On Mangshan Mountain in Luoyang, the distribution area of tombs is about 750 square kilometers. More than 970 ancient tombs have been discovered, but there are only more than 330 ancient tombs in the world, and about two-thirds of them have gradually faded.
Mangshan Mountain belongs to Mangshan residual vein, with open terrain, which is about150m higher than the Yellow River and Luohe River. It is located at the intersection of the Yellow River and the Luohe River. This geographical location can be said to be a treasure trove of geomantic omen in ancient times. Moreover, there is a layer of soil about 15 meters below Mangshan Mountain, which has low water permeability, good cohesiveness and compact soil, and is especially suitable for building tombs.
There is another legend about Mangshan Mountain. When the founding emperor of the Eastern Han Dynasty built the mausoleum, he took Baling, where Emperor Wen and Empress Dou were buried, as a reference, and changed the overlapping style of tombs in the Western Han Dynasty. Taking the mountain as the mausoleum, the natural flowing water from other places makes the cemetery integrate with the surrounding natural environment, with the aim of making it difficult for grave robbers to discover the hidden mysteries.
This idea of advocating quietness and returning to nature coincides with the geomantic theory contained in Guo Pu's Funeral Book in the Jin Dynasty, which inspired the geomantic theory based on Taoism in the Eastern Han Dynasty and made Mangshan a sacred place in the eyes of geomantic masters in previous dynasties.
In the ancient culture of China, mountains represent massiness, water represents agility, mountains are sunny and water is cloudy. Mangshan Mountain is located in the branch of Yishan Mountain, on the south bank of the Yellow River, where Luohe and yi river meet. So being close to mountains and water is nothing more than what the ancients called Luoyang? The mountains and rivers are arched, and love is in the world? .
