Tangwangling is a diamond-shaped tomb with tombstones in front of it, covering an area of about 2 mu. The original memorial hall in the west of Tang Zhong is the Children's Palace in Yi Yin, commonly known as the Tang King Temple. There is Tangwangchi in the west of the temple. Later, when there was a flood, the Temple of the King of Tang Dynasty was destroyed, and purlins and other timber were floated to Xigou in Tang Zhong by rain. People think this is the spirit of the Tang King, so they took a fancy to the geomantic omen in this ditch and built the Tang King Temple in it. This ditch was named Tangwangmiaogou after the temple and later became a village. Because there is spring water overflowing in the ditch, it is called Tangquan, and the village name is also called Tangquangou. Now it is called Tangquan Village. Cheng Tang was a wise king, and later generations commemorated him in many ways. In some places, memorial tombs have been built. Tang Zhong, north of Lin Yao Village, Hua Shan Township, yanshi city, is his real burial place. Zhang Shoujie, a historian of the Tang Dynasty, inspected many tombs of the Tang Dynasty. In the book Justice in Historical Records, he said that the tomb of the Tang Dynasty in Yanshi was "close to the Palace, so it was built and justified".
After the Shang Dynasty made its own soup, the Nine Kings spread in Yanshi Mall for more than 230 years. Ancient people attached great importance to offering sacrifices to ancestral temples and ancestors. According to Cheng Tang's achievements in establishing Shang Dynasty and the location of the mall, his descendants will naturally bury Cheng Tang in Tanling, Hua Shan Township, yanshi city, near the mall, and it is impossible to bury his bones in other places far from the capital. Zhang Shoujie said that the Tang Tomb of Yanshi was the real burial place of Tang Cheng, which was reasonable. check
In the north of Lin Yao Village, Hua Shan Township, yanshi city, stands a tall mausoleum where a benevolent monarch was buried 3600 years ago. This monarch is Tang Cheng, the founding king of Shang Dynasty, who is famous for the "Tang Cheng Revolution". There are tombs of the Tang Dynasty everywhere. Where is the real burial place of Cheng Tang? Sun Xingyan, a famous scholar of classics and local chronicles in Qing Dynasty, used the method of distinguishing one by one to prove that the Tang Mausoleum in Yanshi is the real burial place of Tang Cheng, and other tombs such as Fufeng Tang Mausoleum, Baoding Tang Mausoleum, Yucheng Tang Mausoleum, Shangqiu Tang Mausoleum and Bozhou Tang Mausoleum should be memorial tombs.
According to Jin's Tai Ji, "There is Bo Sakamoto in the south of the corpse township, and there is a city in the east, which is located in Taijia", Sun Xingyan thinks that although Yanshi is not mentioned in the article, the corpse township is located in Yanshi, and Yi Yin's land of "setting Taijia" is the same, and the meaning is very clear. The National Records of the Tang Dynasty also mentioned: "There is a soup burial in Dongliuli, Yanshi County, Luozhou, which is very close to Tonggong. It was also built here. " "Taiping Yuhuan Ji" in the Northern Song Dynasty said: "Tangling Pit in Yanshi County is located in the northeast mountain of the county." The Ming Dynasty's "Great Unity Annals" also said: "Tang Chengling is on the northeast mountain of Yanshi County." It is believed that Yanshi is the seat of Xibo capital, so the burial place of Tang should also be here.
Cai, a contemporary historian, thinks that Yanshi, the emperor who destroyed the capital, was the emperor in 13 and should be buried near the capital after his death; There are 89 descendants of Tang who are kings. For the convenience of sacrifice, the former king should not be buried in Shangqiu, Yucheng, Bozhou, Fufeng, Baoding, Cao Xian and other places that had nothing to do with Xibo and were far away from the capital at the beginning of Shangdu. In addition, in 1947, the stone horses and sheep found more than 3 meters underground in front of the tomb of the Tang Dynasty are probably cultural relics rebuilt since the Han and Tang Dynasties.
1983 Spring
Archaeologists discovered the ruins of an ancient city, Shangdu Xibo City, 3,600 years ago in Shixianggou, Yanshi. It is the oldest archaeological site in Shang Dynasty in China, with the largest scale, the highest specification, the most complete preservation and the richest cultural relics. UNESCO listed it as one of the world's 17 discoveries in 1983. This archaeological discovery makes it clear that the burial place of Tang Cheng, which has always been controversial, is the burial place of Tang Cheng. It has become an indisputable fact that the tomb of the Tang Dynasty is located in Lin Yao, Yanshi, Luoyang. Unfortunately, Tang Wang's tomb was greatly damaged during the Cultural Revolution. 197 1 year winter, the tomb is 20m long, 1 8m wide and 7m high, located in the north of the village1km. It is said that the tomb soil is shipped from other places, and the soil is sticky and hard. In the end, explosives had to be used, and it took 1 years to "complete", but the original site of the tomb was still higher than the surrounding ground. Fortunately, a few years ago, people in Lin Yao Village measured the specific location of the tomb and reconstructed it. Now the tomb of King Tang has been restored to its original appearance.
