The reporter interviewed relevant experts to unveil the mystery for everyone.
Emperor Wen of Han vs Li Bai's "Baling": it is the same
Among the many ancient poems left by Li Bai, many mention "Baling". He wrote in the "Farewell to Baling Line": "Send the Junba Ling Pavilion, the water flow is vast. He also wrote in "Remembrance of Qin'e Zhensheng Pharynx": "Zhensheng Pharynx, Qin E's dream breaks Qin Louyue." Qin Louyue, every year willow color, Baling wound farewell. Leyouyuan on the Qing Autumn Festival, Xianyang Ancient Road sound dust. Sound and dust, the west wind is still shining, and the Han family is lingque. ”

Does Emperor Wen of Han's tomb have anything to do with it?
Cao Long, an associate researcher at the Shaanxi Provincial Archaeological Research Institute and deputy leader of the Hanling Archaeological Team, told the Modern Express that the Baling Tomb of Emperor Wendi of Han and the Baling Tomb written by Li Bai are actually the same area. Emperor Wen of Han also wrote Baling. Why is it called Baling? It is because the imperial tomb is at the edge of the basal water, located on the mound, also known as the Baling Mound. In fact, the BalingYuan is very large, and the specific scope is not yet known. Li Bai's Baling is a geographical scope, not specifically referring to the imperial tomb. "Baling has been a major transportation route since ancient times, and people often bid farewell here." Cao Long introduced.
Zhou Xiaolu, a professor and doctoral supervisor at the Department of Archaeology at Nanjing University, also said that Li Bai's Baling Tombs and the Tombs of Emperor Wen of Han are the same region. He explained that Baling has been very famous since ancient times, "From the Han and Tang Dynasties to the present, Baling is a major traffic artery. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, from Chang'an to Luoyang, they all bid farewell here. "The Sui Dynasty planted willows here, and the Tang Dynasty set up a post station, so it became a "punch card resort" for farewell.
Li Bai's "Baling Wound Farewell" later became an idiom, a metaphor for sending guests on the road, and it was sad and sad.
"Because it is at the edge of basal water, the area of Baling used to be called Bashang, and there are baqiao and so on." Zhou Xiaolu said that the historical place where the story of the "Hongmen Feast" took place was near "Bashang" and not far from the Baling Cemetery.
Some netizens asked, is Baling related to domineering? Zhou Xiaolu said that there is really a relationship. Bashui was originally called Zishui, and was renamed when Qin Mugong was in power to show hegemony. The original "Ba" of Bashui did not have three points of water, and only later added three points of water. This place name has been used to this day, and now, there is also Baqiao District in Xi'an City.
Gangchon Tomb where the White Deer Plains are located vs White Deer Plains written by Chen Zhongzhong: it is the same
The imperial tomb, formerly known as the "Great Tomb of Jiangcun", is located in Bailuyuan Jiangcun, Xi'an.
According to the "Xi'an Chronicle", the White Deer was originally located between the Bahe River and the Xun River, and was named because of the legend that king Zhou Ping was on his way to move the capital to Luoyang, and once saw a white deer swimming on the plain. Bailuyuan is 25 kilometers long, 6 to 9 kilometers wide, and covers an area of 263 square kilometers, making it the largest loess plateau in Xi'an.
Zhou Xiaolu explained that "Yuan", also known as "Yuan", is a special geographical landform related to the Loess Plateau, mainly in the Guanzhong region of Shaanxi, and partly in Gansu and western Henan. The characteristic of this landform is that the place near the river forms a towering cliff, which looks like a rolling mountain range from a distance, but after the cliff, the surface is very flat. "There were originally a few square kilometers, but there are also hundreds of square kilometers, and the white deer is originally considered medium-sized."
So, is the White Deer Plain where Baling is located and Chen Zhongzhong's novel "White Deer Plain" the same place? Zhou Xiaolu said that Chen Zhongzhong used Bailuyuan as the background of the novel, and things may not have happened on Bailuyuan, but the place name borrowed is Bailuyuan, which roughly takes the typical historical and geographical background of Guanzhong. Cao Long also believes that the White Deer Plain mentioned by Chen Zhongzhong refers to the white deer plain where the Baling Is located.
Baling "Gangchon" vs Fei Xiaotong's "Gangchon": Not the same
Jiangcun Tomb is so named because it is located in Jiangcun, Baqiao District, Xi'an City. According to a local monograph on the culture of Bailuyuan, "Spring and Autumn of Bailuyuan", Jiangcun was originally named Jiangjiagou Village, and according to legend, during the Han Jianning period, it was named after the Jiang surname settled in Goupo.
Before that, the familiar "Jiangcun" was in Suzhou, Jiangsu. In the 1930s, mr. Fei Xiaotong, a famous sociologist, based on the survey data of Kaixian Bow Village in Wujiang County, Jiangsu Province (now Kaixian Bow Village, Wujiang District, Suzhou), wrote a book "Jiangcun Economy", which studied the "Jiangcun" located on the south bank of the Yangtze River from a sociological and economic professional perspective. In the foreword of the author of "Gangchon Economy", Fei Xiaotong explained that he had compiled the data of the investigation of Kaixinbow Village into a chapter and gave the village a scientific name "Jiangcun".
