In recent years, the state attaches great importance to the excavation of imperial tombs, different dynasties have different terroir cultures, and the excavation of mausoleums can enable future generations of descendants to see the human conditions of the time and solve many mysteries in the history of that time.
However, for the discovery of ancient tombs, the government, out of the principle of protection, is not allowed to excavate, because the current excavation technology is not mature enough, if the hasty excavation will destroy the integrity of the mausoleum, it is difficult to restore.
Just recently, the specific location of a tomb about the Han Wen Emperor was finally determined after continuous investigation by Shaanxi archaeology and other units, and the specific location of the original tomb was in the Jiangcun Tomb next to Empress Dou, rather than the phoenix mouth that everyone has always thought for nearly a thousand years.
Dynasties and dynasties have always been like this, a king and a tomb, ancient kings attached great importance to the construction of tombs when they were alive, and as a well-known monarch in history, what kind of person was Emperor Wen of Han? Why is he called the most "stingy" emperor by later generations?
Reasons for repairing tombs
In fact, in ancient times, it was not uncommon for emperors to build mausoleums, and most of them paid attention to the safety of the earth after the death of the ancients, and the same was true for the emperors to build mausoleums, and each huge and magnificent mausoleum was a symbol of every noble status.
Moreover, how can the skin of the body be easily destroyed by the parents without the permission of the parents.
Therefore, they had the idea of protecting their corpse even after their own death, and they felt that after death, they would go to the Nine Springs with a complete body before they could face their parents.
Influenced by these ideas, the burial method adopted by the ancients after death was generally earth burial, except for some special customs and circumstances.
At the same time, it is also based on the fixation of the idea of burial, they believe that after death, only those who enter the earth can be at ease.
Although the emperors of the past were the sons of heaven, they were naturally deeply influenced by these ideas, and in order to show their noble status, they would generally build large-scale mausoleums many years in advance.
Before he was born, he was the king of a country, and after his death, he also had to pursue the same glory and wealth, so the tombs of the kings of all generations were almost all built very large, rich and magnificent, and at the same time they would bring a large number of treasures to bury.
In the case of China's first emperor, Qin Shi Huang, the mausoleum was built for thirty-nine years, and it was not fully repaired until his death, which shows how large and magnificent the scale of this mausoleum is.
Escape from Chang'an and stay away from chaos
On the other hand, the tombs of emperor Wen of Han were determined early on, but his tombs were delayed, and it took more than ten years to find the correct location.
Since the emperor's mausoleum is a very large project, why is the tomb of Emperor Wen of Han so difficult to find? All this has to start from the life of Emperor Wen of Han.
Emperor Wen of Han was a flawless monarch in Chinese history, and unlike other emperors, although he had great achievements, there were still many differences.
Unlike Emperor Wen of Han, although he was honored as the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, he did not seriously enjoy the various privileges brought about by the emperor's honorable status, and he was a rare and good emperor throughout his life, thrifty and simple, serving the country and the people.
Emperor Wendi of Han had a generous and benevolent personality, and during his reign, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and all of them were grateful to him.
And all this is inseparable from the teachings of his mother Bo Ji, who was in the harem at that time, Lü Hou was in charge of the harem, the whole harem was bloody and rainy, Lü Hou's means were poisonous, and most of the emperor's children were miscarried before they were born, or died unexpectedly not long after birth.
For the sake of the safety of her son Liu Heng, although Bo Ji was reluctant to eat and drink in the palace, if she continued to be in this harem, there was no favor from the emperor, nor a patron who could support herself, and she had seen Lü Hou's means, but she was afraid that before she had time to enjoy it, she and her son would die in Huangquan.
After thinking about it and doing some ideological struggle, Bo Ji decided to take her son out of this chaotic harem, after all, she was not afraid of running out of firewood, and maybe she could come back in the future.
Bo Ji then went to the emperor to ask for advice, crowned her son Liu Heng as king, and took her son to their fiefdom, first, to show Empress Lü that their mother and son would not compete for the throne, far away from the palace, naturally there would be no danger to them, and second, they could temporarily ensure the safety of themselves and their sons.
This practice is really smart, it is a good move, after arriving at the fiefdom, Bo Ji and her son Tao Guang raised obscurity, secretly observed the situation in the palace, and it was also convenient to check whether Lü Hou would do anything to herself, after all, she did not dare to guarantee that Lü Hou would not cut the grass and remove the roots.
At the same time, she will not fall behind in the education of her son, she leads by example, devotes most of her energy to the education of her son, and aims to cultivate her son into a generous and benevolent person, and her son will also live up to her expectations and become a benevolent person.
Ascended the throne as emperor
Later, Lü Hou was reprimanded, Liu Heng ascended the throne, and the new emperor ascended the throne, originally thinking that he would be harassed by the ministers of the DPRK, but he did not expect that the ministers had great respect for him, and it turned out that Liu Heng's reputation in the fiefdom of magnanimity, benevolence, diligence and love for the people had long been heard in the hearts of the ministers.
In this way, Liu Heng successfully and smoothly sat on the throne, during his reign, he was more diligent in handling state affairs than when he was in the fiefdom, and the country was also under his governance, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and the whole country presented a happy and peaceful scene.
He was diligent in state affairs and very frugal in his life, and he also ordered in the harem to eliminate extravagance and waste, and whoever violated it was punished severely.
Even he himself once wanted to build a high platform in Chang'an, but after a lot of calculations by the officials, it was found that it would cost a lot of money if it was built. He had thought that he would insist on the construction of this project, but as soon as he heard about it, he immediately canceled it, and did not take advantage of the emperor's supreme power like other emperors.
At the same time, according to his requirements, the internal affairs were also very frugal in his clothing materials, using very rough fabrics, and did not have a life of gold and jade during his reign, completely unlike what an emperor should look like.
And the love for the people is also obvious to everyone, that is, not long after the throne, he was exempted from the criminal law of the Nine Tribes, he believes that a person has made a mistake, but the family is innocent, there is no need to involve the family, and some cruel criminal laws in the criminal law have also been abolished.
He finally won the hearts of the people and the people of the world, and the famous rule of Wenjing in history came from him, and his efforts also laid a solid foundation for the governance of future generations.
epilogue
Nowadays, the mausoleum of Emperor Wen of Han has also been determined, and perhaps everyone's focus is on how many valuable things are in the mausoleum, but I hope that everyone can learn more about this great emperor, who has been diligent in his life and loves the people, and it is precisely because of him that the Great Han has a strong foundation and laid the foundation for the century-old glory of the Great Han.
