In xi'an, the mainland, there is a saying:
With a shovel, you can dig up the artifacts.
Friends who do not know the history of Xi'an must think that this is an exaggeration, but the author can tell you responsibly,
The ancient capital of Xi'an in the 13th Dynasty
Indeed, there is this confidence, this is not, Xi'an dug a subway line 2, dug out more than 100 ancient tombs, unearthed tens of thousands of cultural relics; a university in Xi'an built a dormitory, dug out the Han Dynasty tomb group; Xi'an a construction site construction, dug out more than 30 precious Tang Dynasty painted pottery figurines ... According to incomplete statistics,
On average, 300 ancient tombs will be dug up in Xi'an in 1 year
。 It can be seen that Xi'an is really a treasure of feng shui.
However, the "Baoshan" that I want to introduce to you today is not in Xi'an, but in the same way
Luoyang, the ancient capital of the 13 dynasties
This mountain with an altitude of less than 300 meters and a total area of only more than 700 square kilometers has buried 24 emperors and tens of thousands of celebrities and nobles, according to conservative estimates by experts and scholars
There are more than 100,000 ancient tombs
, is simply the "most popular cemetery" on the mainland.
So what kind of mountain is so attractive? Don't worry, let's take it in detail.
The name of this mountain is
Shan
It is located in the north of Luoyang City, Henan Province, and is the remnant of the Qinling Mountains and a branch of the Kunshan Mountains. Although Mount Yao is not a majestic mountain, it is perfectly in line with the traditional feng shui of the mainland, which is well-deserved
"Feng Shui Treasure Land", Taoism calls it "one of the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands"
。
Its first advantage,
Soil seepage is very low
。 The texture of the mountain is loess hilly land, the mountain is north and south, the soil layer is deep, the adhesion is good, and the moisture content is low, so the ancient tomb built here does not have to worry about being submerged by water (the ancients were most taboo to seep water from the cemetery), which is an ideal resting place.
The second advantage,
geographical location.
Beiqi Mountain is located in the vicinity
Central Mountain
Under the Song Mountains, the ancient name of Middle-earth, controllable royal fours, so the Northern Mountains enjoy the central dignity, naturally the emperors are the most satisfied.
The third advantage,
Sitting on the Yellow River, the terrain is open
。 In the eyes of the ancients, mountains mean calm and profound, unchanging for thousands of years; water means flexible and flexible, which can gather hundreds of rivers. Therefore, such a structure with mountains and waters behind it is the best feng shui treasure. At the same time, the mountain is a natural barrier north of Luoyang, which has been since ancient times
Strategically located
The emperor buried his ministers here after his death, implying that he would continue to guard the country.
Therefore, since the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, people have been buried here, according to the existing archaeological data, The Mountain has 8 Tombs of the Eastern Zhou Emperors, 5 Tombs of the Eastern Han Emperors, 2 Tombs of the Cao Wei Emperors, 5 Western Jin Imperial Tombs, 6 Northern Wei Imperial Tombs, 1 Later Tang Emperor Mausoleum, 1 Southern Ming Emperor Mausoleum; at the same time, there are 7 Later Emperor Mausoleums, the most famous of which is
Liu Chan, the lord of the Shu Han Dynasty
and
Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty
In addition to the emperors and generals, celebrities of successive dynasties also favored The Mountain, such as literary scholars
Jia Yi, Shi Chong
poet
Du Fu, Meng Jiao, Bai Juyi, Fan Zhongyan, Wang Zhizhuo,
calligrapher
Yan Zhenqing, Wang Duo, and so on
Celebrities are buried here, and even some people are "late" and have no land, so they are buried in the Luoyang Basin around The Mountain, which is too popular.
At that time, Bai Juyi also wrote a poem for this matter:
The virtuous, the foolish, the noble and the lowly are all gone, and the tomb of the Northern Tomb is high and saga.
There is a saying in the folklore:
Born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, buried in Beiqi.
"If anyone can be buried in the North Mountain after death, it is a great blessing."
