On the south side of Tuling Village, Longgao Town, Binxian City (Binzhou City), between the valleys on the north bank of the Jing River, there is a place called "Lingtan", and in the middle stands a narrow hill. According to legend, this is the tomb of Gong Liu, surrounded by rich cultural resources and many natural scenery -
Shen Weilong: "Shaanxi Wenbo Brother" after the 90s
On the afternoon of May 5, 2021, on the occasion of the May Day holiday, my family and I passed through Binzhou City and made a special trip to the relatively remote Cemetery of Gongliu. There is a concrete road that leads directly to the lingtan and smoothly reaches the north side of the gongliu tomb, where there is a magnificent sacrificial hall, que tower and square.
In the parking lot, I operated my own drone and took aerial photographs of the cemetery. After the drone rises, it first flies from north to south to photograph the buildings in front of the cemetery and the lush tomb mounds. Subsequently, turn the head of the drone, rise to a height of more than 100 meters, and fly around the cemetery again for half a circle, with an unobstructed view of the surrounding hills, ravines, rivers, basins and other landscapes.
There are mountains on all sides, and the tomb mound is located in the center, like swimming fish in a basin, so the feng shui here is called "golden basin fish cave". The surrounding mountains are undulating and have different forms, and are known as "String Pearl Ridge", "Minotaur Horse Face", "Turtle and Snake Two Generals", "Eighteen Arhats" and so on.
The hill where the tomb is located is flat at the top, about 200 meters long from north to south, about 150 meters wide from east to west, and with a total area of about 30,000 square meters. The highest point in the north is about 60 meters, and the south side extends into the Jing River beach in a slope. The tomb mound is high in the north and low in the south, and the lines are curved and undulating, much like a giant dragon, known as the "Zhou Tomb Dragon".
The drone flew south along the top of the tomb hill to the bank of the Jing River, which is a ferry port called "Stone Bridgehead". Looking around, the stone wall of the opposite mountain stands, and on the flat side of the mountainside, there are two small earth ridges and two, and there is a clear spring next to it. According to legend, after Gong Liu's death, his two daughters wrapped the soil with clothes and carried wine jugs to prepare to cross the river for sacrifice, but the Jing River rose and could not be crossed. They had to dump the soil here and sprinkle the wine on the ground to form ridges and springs.
From a high altitude, the gongliu tomb is surrounded by the Jing River in the south, forming a small Taiji bend; to the north is a rolling hill and village, like a pearl threaded with a line; to the east is a ravine, the west is a flat land, and in the distance are high mountains and mountains, forming a natural barrier.
It is said that this is an important feng shui treasure land, with dragon veins running through, aura gathering, head resting on the mountain, and feet stepping on the water. In the "Great Qing Dynasty Unification Zhi · YingZhou" recorded: "Gong Liu's tomb is in the east of the state eighty miles. North pillow valley, south control jing water. The tomb is three mile long, like a dragon".
Gong Liu was the great-grandson of Hou Ji and the ancestor of King Wen of Zhou for ten generations. Here he led by example, leading and uniting the tribes and vigorously developing agricultural production. People lived a life of abundant food and clothing, and the Zhou people began to gradually revitalize. Therefore, Gong Liu has always been praised by the Zhou people.
