1. Who is Zhao Tuo, king of South Vietnam?
Zhao Tuo was the deputy commander-in-chief who attacked South Vietnam during Qin Shihuang's reign. There was chaos at the end of Qin Dynasty, so Zhao Tuo established Lingnan and became the first emperor of South Vietnam, that is, the fifth emperor of South Vietnam. Let's look at his basic information.
Name: Zhao Tuo's native place: Calm County, Hengshan County, Qin (now Zhengding, Hebei). Date of birth: about 240 BC-137 years (103 years old). Identity: General of the Qin Dynasty, later the first emperor of South Vietnam. Ruling time: 8 1 year! Second, why does Zhao Tuo Mausoleum attract people's attention?
The reason why Zhao Tuo Mausoleum has attracted much attention is mainly because of the legend of Zhao Tuo himself. There were more than 400 emperors in the feudal society of China, few of whom were over 80 years old, but Zhao Tuo actually lived 100 years old. This is a legend.
Under the governance of Zhao Tuo, South Vietnam enjoys a harmonious society, developed economy and people live and work in peace and contentment. It is said that apart from managing politics, Zhao Tuo's greatest hobby is searching for rare treasures. Zhao Tuo actually came to power for 8 1 year, and there were countless treasures collected before his death. Zhao Tuo's last testament buried all the treasures in the mausoleum, which became the focus of future generations.
Zhao Tuo was at the turn of the Qin and Han Dynasties, and knew that South Vietnam would be destroyed by the Han Dynasty one day. If the mausoleum is too grand and obvious, it is likely to be dug up and destroyed, so Zhao Tuo made careful arrangements for his mausoleum before his death.
According to historical records, there were several tombs in Zhao Tuo camp. After his death, his car came out from four doors, which made people wonder where the tombs were. Nobody knew them for thousands of years, so it became a mystery.
3. Where is Zhao Tuo's mausoleum?
In 1980s, the tomb of Zhao Kun, grandson of Zhao Tuo, the second emperor of South Vietnam, was found in Xianggang, Guangzhou, as shown below.
According to the ancient mausoleum system, combined with the geomantic omen and the geographical environment of Guangzhou, the site selection of Zhao Tuo mausoleum should meet the following three conditions:
First, from the topographical point of view, due to the low altitude in Lingnan area, it is impossible for Zhao Tuo Mausoleum to base itself on the flat ground and dig down for construction, because groundwater will gush out within a few meters. Second, Zhao's tomb is located in Xianggang, north of Guangzhou, 20 meters in the center of Xianggang. The mountain carving is the tomb, which is not only waterproof, but also very secret. From this point of view, Zhao Tuo should be buried in the highlands. Third, according to the ancient burial system of Zhao Mu, Zhao Tuo Mausoleum is in the middle, his son should be buried in Zhao Mu's position, which is the east side of Zhao Tuo Mausoleum, and his grandson Zhao Kun should be buried in Mu Mu Mu's position, which is the west side of Zhao Tuo Mausoleum. Judging from this, the location of Zhao tomb that has been discovered by practitioners is pushed eastward. Considering the problem of geomantic omen, the location of the tomb should be above a hill, and the conclusion is as follows:
Zhao Tuo's mausoleum is most likely located in the deep belly of Guangdong Jinggang, the main peak of Yuexiu Mountain, Guangzhou, and its regulation is also to cut mountains for tombs.
