In the area of Pucheng's hometown, when it comes to Qiaoling, the convention refers to the place name Qiaoling Village, and Qiaoling Village refers to several natural villages such as Dangjia, Wangjia, Liangxiang, Shangzhuang, Yeli, Cao Geng and so on in the area of Qiaoling Xiagong. In the old days, the place was called "Qiaoloutou", which is speculated to be a transliteration of "Qiaolingtou", and there is a local folk proverb: "Dongdang Chuanli on the dung mile, Qiaoloutou Palace hoarding mile" in a certain sense can explain the fertility of the local land. But there is still a certain distance from the real location of the bridge, and the location of the bridge is a popular name in our local area in the past, that is, Tangling Mountain. Before going to Qiaoling, few people should know to go to Qiaoling Mountain, but when it comes to Tangling Mountain, everyone basically knows. The old people said that what to see in Tangling Mountain is to go to see the stone horse road, and the old man will call the stone carvings of the Shinto on both sides of the bridge commonly known as the stone horse road. The real location of the bridge is exactly in the area of Anwang Village, but now the construction of the Qiaoling Cultural Heritage Park has made the reputation of the bridge more famous, but the geographical real significance of the location is not well known to everyone.

When we were young, we would often hear the old people say "Ten Li'an Wang Po", "Ten Li Yanxing Ten Li Chuan, Ten Li An Wang Bei shan". In all parts of Guanzhong, villages are named after surnames, such as Qiaoling Wangjia Village, which is named after the Wang surname, and the Lu family is named after the Lu surname. Therefore, when we were children, we thought that this village might have come earlier with the surname An and Wang, so the village was called AnWang Village. As we get older, as we experience, we find that this is not the case. When I was a child, the Villages of Lujia, Weijia, Jiajia, Xingjia, Wujia, Dongjiajia, Qijia and other villages around Anwang would be crowned with the word An Wang in front of us locals, because the old people often said "Shilian Wangpo" and "Shilian Wangbeishan", so this place can be called An Wang in a broad sense, although these villages previously belonged to Two different townships of Potou and Sanhe, but now they have also been merged into Qiaoling Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Qiaoling Town.

Regarding the origin of Anwang Village, in the process of reading historical materials and other related records, it was found that AnWang was a king number, not a surname, equivalent to the titles of The Eastern King, Western King, Southern King, and Northern King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and did not come because of the residence of the surname An and the surname Wang. Because when I was studying, the students of AnWang Village had the surname An and the surname Wang, so for a period of time it was believed that the name of the village came because of the surname an and the surname of Wang. Later, according to the local documents of Pucheng and the relevant records of Qiaoling, it was found that Princess Anle's horse Wu Chongxun was awarded the title of King of An and gave Mu ma Shan a mountain because of her meritorious efforts in supervising the repair of QiaoLing. The descendants thus moved to An Wang, which is the ancestor of the wu family, and it can be said that in fact, the Wu family village of An Wang is the descendant of the authentic An Wang. But the most direct historical material that can be seen at present is the Wushi stele stone carvings that have been preserved to the present. The following is the full text of the Wu inscription:
"Wu's Stele" (this stele was originally Cun'an Wang Primary School)
The ancestor of the Wu surname is from the young son of King Ping of Zhou. Born with a text in hand, it is called "wu", because it is a surname. His descendants were scattered in all directions and far away, and the tribes were divided and could not be remembered. However, Taiyuan is the most prosperous, so Taiyuan is the wu surname Wangye. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were warriors, who were brilliant in wisdom and courage, and were marshals of the righteous soldiers, and when Tang Gaozu was the governor of Jingzhou. Married to Xiang Lishi and had two sons: Wu Yuanqing, Wu Yuanshuang. Xiang Li clan pawn, remarried Yang Clan, Sui NaYan Yang Danu also. Changshi Helan Yueshi, Lady of Korea; Second Empress Dowager, Second Empress Guo Xiaoshen. The empress consort Wu Youxu, the son of her brother Wu Weiliang, was deeply aware and simple, and lived in seclusion in Longmen; the empress's brother Yuan Shuangzi Wuping, who lived in seclusion in Songshan, could not be summoned by Empress Wu repeatedly. Emperor Zhongzong ascended the throne and summoned shufukan to the academy. Pingzi Wu Chongxun, Princess Shang'anLe, for the horse, the glory of the world, the family descendants are officials and have many famous people. Chongxun descendants Wu Yuanheng, Xian Zongyuan and Bai Xiang, Cai De Zhongliang, famous all over the world. Yuan Heng's younger brother Ru Heng (儒衡), was a Zhongshu Sheren (中書舍人) at the beginning of the Jingzong Bao Calendar. By the time of the fifth generation, the official of this family had begun to be a minority! During the Ming Dynasty of the Great Song Dynasty, wugui and wuding were eight people, including Wu Jin as the provincial inspection school post, and although it was small, the reputation was very heavy. To the Great Yuan Wu Cheng zeng, Wu Dezu, Wu Chongyuan, Wu Shizhong, Wu Shiqian, Wu Shilian, Wu Changshi and other seventeen people, including the male Wu Cheng was once a lieutenant of Weinan County, also in charge of the regiment training, there are also clean and honest moral government in the name of the office. As for Daming, Wu Juren, Wu Jujing and eighteen others were all virtuous and filial piety. Inside there is Wu Shangwen, with his father's illness, day and night on the side, boiling soup medicine worried to the extreme, wasted in bed and food for a long time and tired, sleepy, dreaming of repairing the grave, his father died. The mother is pure filial piety, and the daily offering of gan will is particularly abundant. Tell the opposite, face and qi, gentle winter warm summer qing, dusk morning province, all as a son of man, the way to raise relatives is everywhere, if this is forty years, the mother will die. Shangwen and Shangqing built a tomb on the same land, and every day of their parents' life and death, they will be sacrificed. On the first day of October in the twenty-eighth year of Hongwu, because his mother's birthday was over, his parents were on the same high hall at night, and his father took a poem, so that Shangwen could read it, and he returned to his life three times, and suddenly he realized that the poem was worried. His poem reads: "Summoning Rut to me, building a grave and being bitter." My ancestors have been passed down from afar, and later the virtuous and virtuous will be eternal. "It is called xianxiao in the township. The martial family also said: "According to ancient traditions, the family has been practicing the Tang Tombs since the worship of ma yi (qì qi), settled here, thinking that the family business, the generations have changed, repeatedly suffered from soldiers (xiǎn xian), and the ancestors have not tried to move him for generations. "The generations are long, the ancestors cannot know the details of it, and the sect of the family, the great grandson of Shi Shi Yan and Chongxun, whining! The distant ancestors are inherently unknown, and the present generation is known to the ancestors of the recent ancestors, and the order of the ancestors is arranged, thinking that the map is published in stone, so that future generations will not forget it for a long time! Zan yue: Ancestor of the Wu clan, from Yu Zhou. King Ping had few sons, born different. There is a text in hand, and the reason for the surname. At that time, it was precious and did not let the princes. His descendants are far away and scattered around the island of Kyushu. The ancestor of Wei'er, Taiyuan passed on.

Wu Zetian in film and television dramas
According to the above stele, in the early Ming Dynasty, the father and elder surnamed Wu were only word of mouth, because of the meritorious service of Chongxun Horse Supervisor Repair Bridge Mausoleum, the descendants settled here and did not move elsewhere. However, apart from word of mouth, there is no other definite historical record. According to the Tang Dynasty historical records: Wu Chongxun, Sansizi. Then the Heavenly Dynasty made gaoyang the king of gaoyang county and married princess Anle. Shenlong first worshiped Ma Duwei, Qian tai Changqing, and also the general of the left guard. Three years later, his father plotted against Crown Prince Chongjun, who was defeated and killed. As we all know, Wu Sansi is the nephew of Wu Zetian, then Wu Chongxun is the nephew of Wu Zetian, if it is true as the legend says, that is to say, the Wu family of King An and empress Wu Zetian are the same ancestor, and they are the descendants of her mother's family. However, according to the above historical records, the third year of the Shenlong is 707 AD, and the bridge tomb was built in the fourth year of Tang Xuanzong's kaiyuan, that is, in 716 AD, Wu Chongxun has long died, and it is impossible to supervise the construction of the bridge tomb for many years after death. It is speculated that another descendant of the Wu surnamed Gongma Jianxiu Qiaoling settled here. In the past, dynasties changed, wars were frequent, and national documents and classics were often destroyed and scattered, not to mention that the ancestors of the martial surnames who were later reduced to ordinary people, even if there were relevant records, they did not know when they were scattered, coupled with the high illiteracy rate in that year, there were not many people who could read and write, so in the Ming Dynasty after 600 years, writing inscriptions could only be based on word-of-mouth legends.
The ancestral monument of the Taitai Road family
The Anwang Lujia Village and the Huangchang Village of the Lianxing Brigade were both moved out of the Taitai Lujia Village, and the Taitai Lujia Village was moved in from the Shanxi Locust Tree in the early Ming Dynasty according to the villagers, so the history of Anwang Lujia Village should not be as long as the history of The Taitai Lujia Village, at least it should be a matter of the middle and late Ming Dynasty.
According to local legend and the old temple Dongwei Village, which is less than ten miles away, an wang wei family village was moved out of Wanjia Village in Fuping Mihara. Although the literal is Wei, our local pronunciation is Yu, and in the Wei family, there is a legend that there is a saying of "living in the dead Wei", which means that the surname of the living person reads "Yu", and the dead tombstone is engraved with "Wei", and I don't know what is exquisite. The two major surnames in the village are mainly Wei and Zhang, and the commander of Zhang Yunqu, the commander of the Kuomintang Twenty-second Army who was originally stationed in Yulin, is a native of The Wei family village of An Wang. Although he was a Kuomintang general, he also bloodied the battlefield during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in order to defend the territorial integrity of the country. In the 18th year of the Republic of China (1929), he graduated from the Taiyuan Northern Officer School, served as the commander of the jingyue Xiubu artillery battalion in northern Shaanxi, and later promoted to the commander of the 516th regiment and the commander of the 257th regiment of the 86th Division. In 1949, he served as the acting commander of the Eighty-sixth Division, and accompanied Fu Zuoyi and Deng Baoshan in the uprising in Beiping. When the Surname Zhang moved in, no relevant records have been found, but there is a record of Wei Bao in the County Records of the Qing Dynasty, and it is not known whether it is another title for the Wei family of King An.
Jiajia village ancient locust
The An Wang Jia family is divided into Dong Jia and Xi Jia, the West Jia belongs to the An Wang Brigade, and the East Jia returns to the original Sanhe Township Management. However, later generations have said that their ancestors were descendants of the Shouling people, and they belonged to the Remains of the Tang Dynasty along with the villages of the camp site trench, lion locust, and Xisun. The Xijia family originally had the distinction between the upper city and the lower city, the xiacheng Jia surname was the majority, the Shangcheng Li surname was mostly, and there were Wang surnames, Liu surnames and so on. Among them, Liu Bingjun, a heroic martyr of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, graduated from the Whampoa Military Academy and died in the Battle of Gwanghwamun in the 1937 Battle of Nanjing.
Wanwali, which also belongs to the Anwang Brigade, is dominated by the surname of Wan, and according to local legends, its ancestors moved from the Wanjia family in Yanxing and were not local hereditary natives.
General Yang Hucheng
In modern times, there have also been many touching stories around The Ten MileAn Wangpo, especially the story of the patriotic general Yang Hucheng and the general Juyi Fengshan has been widely circulated. It is said that after shooting and killing the bully Li Zhen in his hometown in Sun Town, he led a group of brothers of the "Mid-Autumn Festival" to flee to Fengshan, which is the area where the Bridge Tomb is located. They take the Anwang Wujia as their base, where they can enter the mountains in the north, the rivers in the south, and they can defend and attack, and they have a unique geographical advantage. After the militia came to suppress, it made full use of the local geographical advantages and the cover of the people to defeat the militia and return home. Later, taking Wang Po of Shilian as the starting point, he seized the gun, pulled up a cadre of people and horses, walked out of Pucheng, walked out of Shaanxi, and finally became an outstanding military general!
With the establishment of the Qiaoling Cultural Heritage Park and the gradual implementation of relevant supporting measures, this royal cemetery that can show the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty hopes to become a powerful business card of Pucheng tourism culture, and the stories and legends of the Shilian Wangpo attached to it can also be known by more people and become an inseparable cultural component of qiaoling propaganda!
