Yaoling, Shandong Province is located in Zhaoqianzhuang, Fuchun Township, 7.5km southwest of Juancheng County. The Yellow River Jindi is about 1000m south, with a diameter of 10m and a height of 5m. There were memorial tablets in the 24th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (AD 1545) and 29th year of Guangxu in front of the tomb. "Emperor Yao Tang Tao Tombstone" stands in front of Yaoling's land closure, and the words ***25 on the front of the tombstone are Zhou Pu Zhou Zhi Miao Run Shu Dan. In the middle of the monument, the big word is "Tomb of Emperor Yao", which reads "August of the 29th year of Guangxu reign of Qing Dynasty" and the next book is "Murun is erecting a monument".
The memorial tablet was built in the autumn of the 24th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty, and Meng Xue, the magistrate of Zhou Pu, led hundreds of officials to worship Yaoling. It still stands in front of Yaoling, with a height of 195cm, a width of 84cm and a thickness of 26cm. The inscription reads as follows: "In the twenty-fourth year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty, the year has passed, and the new moon is enjoyed in August, ending on the fifth day. Expounding the essence, starting with learning, spreading official knowledge to the world and praising Feng Yun is based on the virtue of making it difficult for the sky to swing, and Fang Xun has a long history of land distribution. Twenty-eight years later, the forest of Bugulin was a secluded place, which has been lost for thousands of years. According to the trace of Gu Lin, it was allowed to seal the watch and worship without borders. Meng and others are holding the Mid-Autumn Festival, using the company. Full text 162 words, cursive, easy to read. Yao surnamed Qi, first name. " "Historical Records Biography of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty" contains: "Yao is not enough to teach the world, but he has the right to teach Shun. "Yao is highly respected because he was the first emperor to abdicate in the history of China. There are many records in the history books about the burial place after Yao's death. " Lu Chunqiu said "Yao buried the ancient forest", and Huangfu Mi noted: "The ancient forest is Chengyang. "History of Han Geography" says: "When Yin becomes Yang, there is a tomb of Yao". The Water Classic Notes quoted Emperor Century as saying that "it is for the ancient forest to help Yin to become the forty miles northwest of Yang." "Literature General Examination" contains "Cao lived in ancient times, and there is a tomb of Yao in the northeast of the state". In the cultural relics investigation of 1982, the ruins of the city wall were found in the east of Ji Hu village, Heze, which was the old city of Chengyang in Han Dynasty. Ji Hu is about 20 kilometers away from the northwest valley forest, which is consistent with the ground scene recorded in the literature. Among the people in Juancheng County, there is also a saying that "Wang Yaobai buried 800 tombs, but he was really in the ancient forest". According to the History, "There were Yuan people in front of Yaoling, and in the early years of Jiajing, the imperial adviser ordered Zhang Huan, the state capital, to build Yao Temple". Now there are no Yuan monuments and Yao Temple buildings. However, we can know from the Map of Yaoling that the ancient Yaoling is surrounded by brick walls, and the buildings in front of the tomb, such as the pleasure hall, the east and west rooms, the dressing pavilion, the Notre Dame Cathedral and the gate, stand among the pines and cypresses with great momentum. 1979, Yaoling was announced by Juancheng County People's Government as a county-level cultural relics protection unit. Although the existing Yaoling and temples are not grand in scale, they are reasonably laid out and have a good environment. When people pay homage to the mausoleum, they enter from the mountain gate on the bank of the waterlogged river, and the mausoleum and shrine face the high cliff on the bank of the river. The door has two floors, and the upper floor is the music building (like a theater) where music is performed. After entering the door, there is a wide square. There is a wooden arch in the center of the square. The arch is a single-room two-column gatehouse. The roof is a simple tile roof, with hills behind it and five arched eaves, which is very magnificent. Passing through the archway is the Hall of Sacrifice to Daxiong, with an annex building on each side. The eaves of the main hall are beautifully carved and painted. Mausoleum buildings are arranged along the mountain and gradually rise. After the main hall, climb the stone steps, which is the original hall behind the shrine. The back hall is three rooms wide, with a stone tablet in the middle and the inscription "Ancient Emperor Yaoling" on it. There are more than ten inscriptions of gold, yuan, Ming and Qing on both sides of the mausoleum, which describe the achievements of Emperor Yao, the evolution of the mausoleum, the sacrifices of officials and the Ming Dynasty. There is a monument in the 18th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1539), which is very precious. In addition to the main hall and the sleeping hall, there are also buildings such as the temple, the temple library, the den, the porch, the underground palace and the tomb keeper's bedroom. On the platform in front of the back hall, there is a Cooper with a history of hundreds of years, which was handed down from the Jin and Yuan Dynasties.
After sleeping in the square, there is a mound about 50 meters high, which is said to be the mausoleum of Emperor Yao. According to legend, when Emperor Yao died, people came to the funeral home in a sea of people, and the tombs were built with mud for their subjects.
