No, Yunnan and Guizhou are wrestling around the "ownership dispute" of Chen Yuanyuan cemetery from a distance. Yunnan's point of view seems well founded. Didn't Chen Yuanyuan throw himself into the lake in the lotus pond in Kunming? At that time, Wu Sangui specially built an "Anfu Garden" here for his beloved Chen Yuanyuan, and made a statue for her. Today, although this monument has been eroded by a hundred years of wind and rain, it still stands here intact. And only in Kunming can you find three cemeteries in Chen Yuanyuan. As for the literature records, it is a dime a dozen. Just looking for a few historical materials can prove that Chen Yuanyuan was finally buried in Kunming.
Of course, the evidence from Guizhou is also very strong. In Majia Village, Cengong County, Guizhou Province, there is a place called Xiangzi, named after Wu Sangui's father Wu Xiang. The extremely secret tomb of Chen Yuanyuan was found here. The tombstone is engraved with the following words: "Therefore, the tomb of Niejia in Wumen sits first; Filial piety male Wu Qihua, daughter-in-law Tu Shili, filial piety grandson male Wu Shilong, Wu Shijie ... Qing Yong Zhengdi six years and five years Shen Zhongyue set Hitachi. " According to the explanation of the tomb owner's descendants, it is called "Nie's" instead of "Chen's" because it is confidential.
The second is to show the identity of the tomb owner. Chen Yuanyuan, whose real name is Xingyuan, was put in foster care with an uncle named Chen because his family was poor when he was a child. She changed her name to Chen Yuanyuan after her debut. When the word "Nie" is disassembled, it implies the meaning of "two ears", which coincides with the explanation that "Xing" and "Chen" each have one ear. And "Wumeng" is also a pun. One is to marry the Wu family on behalf of Chen Yuanyuan; Second, it refers to Suzhou, the birthplace of Chen Yuanyuan, because in ancient times, Suzhou was also called "Wumen".
One more question. Since it is the place where descendants of Wu Sangui settled, why is it called Majiacun? This is because after Wu Sangui was defeated by the Qing court, Chen Yuanyuan, under the escort of General Ma Bao, escaped to this desolate place and made a fortune from here. Wu's blood can be continued. To commemorate Ma Bao's immortal achievements, later generations called this village Majia Village. At present, more than 0/000 people in the village/kloc-are surnamed Wu, and no one is surnamed Ma.
At the same time, people in Majiacun are familiar with the story of how Ma Bao escorted Chen Yuanyuan to escape here, and claimed to have "Imperial Umbrella" and "Imperial Word Book" to record the genealogy. It is even said that there used to be two broadswords in the village, one weighing 96 kilograms and the other 80 kilograms, which were used by the "Ning Guan fighters" in Wu Sangui's time, just because they were sold to make a living in poverty. People also found the tomb of General Ma Bao in Majiacun, and the tombstone was engraved with the words "Tomb of the Old Man Hao in Gong Ming, Shangshoukao". "Ming" refers to the Ming Dynasty, and "jade" refers to treasures.
Its tomb couplet reads, "The ancestor of Tuying is his own ancestor, and the stone platform is as good as his own." This sentence expresses the Wu family's gratitude and willingness to worship their ancestors. In fact, the reason why all localities compete for the ownership of Chen Yuanyuan's tomb is that they have taken a fancy to the huge economic benefits under the celebrity effect. On the surface, it is a dispute over cultural boundaries, but in essence it is driven by economic interests. Under the background of "culture sets the stage, economy sings opera", it is the original intention of local governments to develop local economy with historical celebrities as the starting point.
Then, why did the archaeologists become silent after the Chen Yuanyuan cemetery was discovered in Guizhou?
First, the evidence of Chen Yuanyuan's tomb found in Guizhou is conclusive. Before the discovery of the cemetery in Chen Yuanyuan, Guizhou, there were different opinions about her final outcome. Some said that after Wu Sangui's death, she entered the palace and became a handmaid. Others say that she hanged herself and followed Wu Sangui; Others said that Chen Yuanyuan eventually became a nun and died of old age in a temple. "Wu Rebellion" has the following records: "When Wu Rebellion, Yuan Yuan begged with her teeth as a female Taoist priest, and sat on the ground and shaved at the Yulin master of Hongjie Temple, and her dharma name was silent." This discovery in Guizhou seems to have convinced the experts. Although there is still a lack of direct evidence (such as DNA identification), experts have no reason to refute it, so they have to keep silent.
Secondly, a few archaeologists who "serve" individual local economies were silenced by the facts and had to remain silent. In fact, as the protagonist of the story, Chen Yuanyuan is the most innocent person. She was not only involved in the war, but also suffered many disasters and had a narrow escape. It has also been repeatedly used as a chess piece. If you like it, you will be a baby, and if you like it, you will be discarded as a shoe. In the end, because of Wu Meicun's sentence, "All six armies are killed, and those who are angry at the crown are beautiful", they bear the eternal stigma of "beauty is a curse". (Reference:
