As the saying goes, "Born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, buried in Beimang", heroes all over the world hope to build a tomb in Beimang. However, the original mausoleum is a "pillow-climbing river", that is, it is buried behind Mangshan Mountain and on the bank of the Yellow River, so-called "Emperor Han lies on his back". It is said that Liu Xiu's son is stubborn and likes to be against his father. Liu Xiu told him to go east and west, to chase dogs and chickens. When Liu Xiu died, he said to him, "You bury me at the bottom of the Yellow River."
Liu Xiu's original intention was that his son had always opposed him, so that he realized his wish to be buried in Beimang. But this time Liu Xiu was wrong. His son thought: he has been fighting with his father all his life and has never heard a word. Just listen once. Sure enough, a ghost town in the water was built for his late father in the rolling Yellow River. Later, due to the diversion and northward movement of the Yellow River, Liu Xiu's grave was left between Mangshan Mountain and the Yellow River.

Guangwudi Mausoleum is located in the north of the cemetery, facing south, covering an area of 100 mu. It is rectangular and consists of three parts: the temple, the abbot's courtyard and the cemetery. The mausoleum is surrounded by Zhou Songbai, and there is a dome in front of it. The monument is engraved with the tomb of Emperor Guangwu, the ancestor of Zhongxing in the Eastern Han Dynasty. From the mausoleum to the gate, there is a shinto. On both sides of Shinto, stone statues, horses and other stone statues and neat and lush cypresses were originally arranged.
The cypress trees in Liu Xiufen are a miracle. The whole cemetery is lush with pine and cypress, and the ancient cypress with a history of thousands of years reaches the sky and is lush, among which "Birding cypress" and "Love cypress" are the best among the cypresses. The whole mausoleum has a strange smell, which is emitted by cypress trees in the garden. If the rain is fine, the fragrance will be deeper. Where the wind passes, the fragrance of Cooper can spread to 10 miles away.
Cold mountain cypress is unique and the only tree species in China. This kind of cypress is firm and soft, with beautiful section and rich fragrance. Because of its golden color and apricot yellow body, it is also called "apricot cypress" and "blood cypress", which has been amazing for thousands of years.
In fact, Liu Xiu advocates a simple funeral. The funeral ceremony and funerary objects at that time were very simple. At the beginning, there were no temples to worship pavilions, and the Millennium Cooper in the garden was planted in the Sui and Tang Dynasties more than 500 years after his death. Liu Xiuzhen is worthy of being a wise king.
