Air Mausoleum: Tang Gaozu Li Yuan Mausoleum.

In the fields northeast of Yonghe Village, Xu Mu Township, Sanyuan County, Xianyang City, stands the tomb of Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. He once had a will: "The shape of his cemetery is frugal, considering the Han and Wei Dynasties, thinking that it is governance." Therefore, Emperor Taizong and Li Shimin built this mausoleum according to the specifications of the original mausoleum of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty-

1On August 6, 956, Tang Xianling was announced by Shaanxi Provincial People's Committee as the first batch of provincial key cultural relics protection units; On June 25th, 20001year, it was announced by the State Council as the fifth batch of national key cultural relics protection units. 20 18, 18 On August 9th, I operated my own DJI Elf 4 UAV and took aerial photos of Shinto and Fairy Tomb.

Fairy sits facing south and is divided into two cities, inner city and outer city, with a magnificent appearance. The whole cemetery is surrounded by a constant rammed city, surrounded by a door and a pair of Shi Hu outside. Among them, the south of the cemetery is the main entrance. At first, there were many stone carvings. Now, on the surface, only one Hua Biao and one Shi Hu can be seen. Other stone carvings were either buried underground or moved to Xi 'an Beilin Museum.

Nowadays, a north-south cement road leads directly to the fenced land of Xianling, and forms a "D" intersection with the east-west road at the end. The small courtyard on the southeast side of the crossroads is the Tang Xianling Cultural Relics Management Office; On the open space on the southwest side of the intersection, a tall stone tablet stands, but the surface handwriting is blurred, and there is a national key cultural relics protection unit monument next to it.

Fairy spirit is a tomb built by piling up soil, which is different from "taking the mountain as the tomb", so it is small in scale. The fence is barrel-shaped and slightly rectangular in plan, with a height of 2 1m, an east-west length of 150m and a north-south width of 120m. The top is about 30 meters long from east to west and wide from north to south 10 meter. Under it, Li Yuan and Empress Tamu are buried.

?

In the northeast of Xianling, it is about 4,000m long from east to west and about 1 500m wide from north to south. In the border area between Fuping County and Sanyuan County, there are 52 tombs where royalty, relatives and dignitaries are buried together, which set off the fairy spirit in a spectacular way, just like "the stars stick to the moon". Unfortunately, most of them have been razed to the ground or seriously damaged.

In front of the stone tablet on the south side of Xianling, I flew into the sky with my own drone. First fly south to Shi Hu, then go north to the front of the paddock, and then walk around the mausoleum clockwise. The scenery around the cemetery is panoramic. Now the Xu Mu tableland is high and flat, and the Weihe River valley below is endless, with excellent vision and magnificent scenery.

Li Yuan (566-635), whose name was Uncle De, was a famous man in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. At the age of seven, he attacked Tang Guogong. Because Queen Dugu was her aunt, she was deeply loved by Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty. In the 13th year of Daye (6 17), he was promoted to stay in Taiyuan. On the occasion of the collapse of the Sui Dynasty, in May, Tang Gaozu and Li Shimin killed the left-behind lieutenant Wang Wei and Gao Junya and set off for Jinyang. In November, Chang 'an was captured, and Yang Di's grandson You Yang was made emperor, while Yang Di was honored as the emperor's father. ?

In May of the second year of Yining (6 18), after Yang Di was killed, Li Yuan forced You Yang to abdicate, that is, he was located in the Taiji Hall and changed his country name to "Tang" and Yuan Dynasty to "Wude". With the help of Li Shimin, peasant rebels and local separatist forces were eliminated one after another, and the great cause of reunifying the motherland was completed. In the ninth year of Wude (626), after the change of Xuanwu Gate, it spread to Li Shimin, and Li Yuan claimed to be the emperor's father. ?

In the ninth year of Zhenguan (635), Li Yuan died of illness. Wu Tai, posthumous title, whose temple number is Gaozu, was buried in Xianling. In the first year of Shangyuan (674), it was renamed as Shen Yao, and in the thirteenth year of Tianbao (754), it was renamed as Dayao the Great, Dasheng and Daguang.
