Why did The Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu build his mausoleum in the mudflat? Reason not to say you can't think of it!
Ancient people attach great importance to the things behind them, and funerals have a very important significance in the lives of ancient people. Of course, the funeral as an emperor is even more different, most of the ancient emperors have extremely luxurious mausoleums, they hope to have a luxurious life after death, and more superstitious emperors think that a good feng shui treasure land can even make themselves immortal. Therefore, most of the imperial tombs of successive dynasties have been built in places with excellent feng shui.
Liu Xiu's life is full of legends, relatively speaking, Liu Xiu can also be regarded as a typical example of a self-made family, although Liu Xiu is a descendant of the Liu family, but because of the birth problem, liu Xiu's generation is basically a flat-headed people, Liu Xiu can restore the old rivers and mountains, although luck accounts for most of the reasons, but Liu Xiu himself, whether it is character, or talent, is also very outstanding.
When Liu Xiu was 56 years old, he chose the address of his mausoleum on the Yellow River beach in Luoyang's Beiqi Mountain (Tiexie Village, Baihe Town, Mengjin County, 20 kilometers north of Luoyang City), known as the YuanLing or Han Tomb, and had the meaning of "Pillow Mountain Pedal River". Although the upper reaches of the Yellow River run through the mountains and roar, the downstream river surface is wide and gentle, the sound and breath are slow, and the sea is quiet, and there is a sense of detachment from listening to the waves and watching the clouds.
What is amazing is that in the past 2000 years, the original mausoleum has not been stolen, nor has it been flooded, the environment has become more and more beautiful, and the people who come to see it are endless, no matter what, the mausoleum where Liu Xiu and Yin Lihua are buried together is by no means a mudflat, it is located at the foot of the Yao Mountain, on the bank of the Yellow River, showing the trend of "pillow river pedaling the mountain", a reversal of the emperor's election convention, for the special case of 2000 years of feudal history, what is the meaning, is still a mystery.
