Zeng Zuo's tomb is located in Changsha, which seems to be related to the location of Feng Shui, but actually has its internal reasons.
If a line is drawn from two tombs, it will meet at the top of Jinpenling in the southern suburbs of Changsha. This is the training ground where Zeng Guofan built Xiang Army in the third year of Xianfeng and Chu Army in the first year of Zuo Tongzhi.
My great grandfather, Shu Tieshan, was born in the Xiang shogunate. He followed Zeng Zuogong as a magistrate in Huguang, Fujian, Zhejiang, Shaanxi, Gansu and other places for a long time. In November of the seventh year of Guangxu, Zuo Gong finished the northwest military affairs and asked for leave to return to the tomb of Hunan Province. One day, he visited Chengnan Academy and boarded the former training site of Jinpenling. During the period, I asked about the current situation of the Zeng family and learned that the tomb was located in Pingtang, and the cemetery was pointed out by Zeng Gong before his death, "facing southeast". Zuo Gong said to his attendants, "In the seventeenth year of Daoguang, I came back from Lijiang Academy to treat Sister Zhu's funeral. After Daojing, I took a white bamboo nap in Yangmeihe. I once chose a cave in nearby Jidi, so you and others can buy it as a burial place, and "facing the northwest" shows lifelong concern.
It can be known from the above-mentioned old events that Zeng Zuo's two tombs are both treasures of feng shui, but the two princes are worried about the invasion of the late Qing powers. Although Chuntu is behind him, he is also concerned about state affairs.
During the Anti-Japanese War, when I was a middle school student, I also heard my grandfather and great-uncle tell me about the tomb of Zeng Zuo mentioned by my great-grandfather.

The brilliance of Zuo's classic couplets is not in the dust. The picture on the left tomb shows a left-handed book: "Wisdom is not in the dust, and what can be done is pushed to the layman."
Zuomu
The tomb of Zuo, a famous soldier in Qing Dynasty, is located in Baizhu Village, Tiaoma Town, Yuhua District, Changsha City, the hometown of Zuo.

There is a stone platform in front of the tomb, on which there are stone tables, stone drums and incense burners. On both sides of China's desk, there is a pair of couplets: "The rules of Han and Tang Dynasties will remain unchanged through the ages; Qinchuan Longdao Liu Changqing. " Opening hours of the left tomb: 9:00 to 17:00.
Supplementary note: holidays will be notified separately. Because the tomb is a cultural relic, it is completely enclosed. Tourists are scarce. Usually it is basically locked. The residents of the house next door have keys to let them open the door for a visit. Other routes (from South Bus Station, take Times sunshine avenue eastbound to the fork at the end, then go straight and turn left, go in the direction of Fushou Bridge, and turn right after two T-junctions. The bus from South Station to Tuanran can also be reached. Just behind Tongsheng Lake) Most graves have been stolen, and the Huangdi Mausoleum is priceless. Why hasn't anyone dared to steal for thousands of years? There are no tombs in China, especially royal tombs. There are a lot of gold, silver and jewels in them, and grave robbers are drooling. Almost all ancient tombs in China, whether ordinary people or royal cemeteries, have been stolen once. However, although there is a mausoleum that has existed for thousands of years, it has not been stolen, and emperors of past dynasties have strengthened it, planted trees and built temples, which have been well protected and preserved intact to this day.
This emperor's mausoleum is the priceless Huangdi Mausoleum, which has existed for thousands of years. Up to today, China wanderers at home and abroad hold large-scale sacrificial activities in the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor every year, which has an influence at home and abroad. This Huangdi Mausoleum has never been hidden. Just look around and you will know. For thousands of years, no one wants to steal the treasure inside, dig it out and destroy it, but worship it.
This emperor's mausoleum is also the only one recorded in history books, also known as the First Mausoleum of China. It is located in Beiqiao Mountain, huangling county, Yan 'an City, Shaanxi Province. From the third year of Qin Linggong, it began to pay homage to the emperor's mausoleum. At that time,180,000 troops came to pay homage to the Mausoleum, preserved many cultural relics from ancient times to the present, and planted a large number of pines and cypresses, with more than 80,000 plants. According to Records of the Historian, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty combined with Emperor Yan to defeat Chiyou, and the world was unified, and the Chinese nation entered a civilized era. Later, in order to commemorate the contribution of the emperor, their descendants were called descendants of the Yellow Emperor. At that time, in order to commemorate the great achievements of the emperor, people built tombs and temples in Qiao Shan after his death. Since then, scholars of all ages have sacrificed at this grave.
Thousands of years have passed, and the tombs of other emperors have been visited by thieves. No one dares to dig the only Huangdi Mausoleum. That's because it is the seat of our ancestors and the root of China people. As long as they are from China, they won't dig their ancestors. If they dare to dig the graves of their ancestors, they will be enemies of all China people. His fate will be death. Only one person in history, Bai Yanhu of the Qing Dynasty, claimed to dig the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, but it was almost lost by Zuo. Which tomb is the most untouchable? A grave robber tried to kill him, but he was hunted down. For grave robbers, "Huangdi Mausoleum" is their taboo, and it is not impossible to steal it anyway, but anyone who has bad ideas about Huangdi Mausoleum will be "banned" by the grave robbery industry. In fact, think about it for a simple reason. After all, the Yellow Emperor is the ancestor of our nation, and respecting ancestors is an essential quality for a person, so there is such an unwritten rule.
Huangdi Mausoleum is located in Yan 'an, a "revolutionary holy land" in Shaanxi. This mausoleum also has a famous title, called "The First Mausoleum of China". Now it has also been developed into a national-level scenic spot, which can not only protect the mausoleum, but also provide sacrifices for people, and the tradition of offering sacrifices to the Huangdi Mausoleum has never been broken since ancient times. At the earliest time, Liu Bang led an army to sacrifice for victory. Later, it gradually became a necessity for all emperors.
There is no record of the "Huangdi Mausoleum" being stolen in history books. Bai Yanhu is the only folk who stole the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, while Huanggu Grave of the Qing Dynasty was really stolen by Bai Yanhu, so Bai Yanhu can still wash his hands of this matter. He really didn't steal the Mausoleum of Huangdi.
But what happened to Bai Yanhu in the end was miserable, because he did a lot of bad things and was accused of stealing the Mausoleum of Huangdi, which made people angry. At that time, many powerful people like Zuo wanted to kill Bai Yanhu.
Later, Bai Yanhu had to flee to Russia because of the pursuit, probably because "the enemy of the enemy is his comrade-in-arms", so the Russian Empire at that time refused to hand over the sinner Bai Yanhu and let him live. But in the end, someone offered a reward of up to 202,000 gold for Bai Yanhu's head, and finally Bai Yanhu died at the hands of a "hunter".
Zuo came from a poor family when he was young. Why did the Governor of Liangjiang choose to marry him? Although Zuo was poor when he was young, he kept making friends with noble people. Before he became famous in the world, two Bole took a fancy to Maxima Zuo. One is Lin Zexu, the hero who wiped out opium in Humen, and the other is Tao Shu, the governor of Liangjiang at that time.
Lin and Tao are rare famous ministers in Daoguang Dynasty. After meeting Zuo, both of them praised Zuo as an unparalleled genius. Among them, Tao Shu, who is the governor of the two rivers and more than 30 years older than Zuo, also volunteered to marry Zuo, so that my only son married Zuo Xiaoyu, Zuo's eldest daughter.
Zuo and Tao Shu first met in the 16th year of Daoguang (1836), when Tao Shu was in charge of the two rivers, while Zuo was 25 years old and taught in Liling, Hunan.
This year, Tao Shu took a leave of absence from Jiangxi to return to his hometown in Hunan and passed by Liling. The local magistrate asked Zuo to write a couplet welcoming Tao Shu, and Zuo wrote:
"The spring temple language is calm, and it has been home for 20 years, and the topping stone is there; The river flows day and night, and the children of Bazhou look forward to the public return. "
This pair of couplets is praising Tao Shu's merits as an official, but there is no sign of boasting, which makes Tao Shu very praised. Tao Shu quickly asked the county magistrate to invite the author. As soon as he saw the left, he was "determined to be a witch and talk about the past and the present to stay."
In this first meeting, Zuo's talent was affirmed by Tao Shu. Two years later, Tao Shu decided to marry Zuo.
