On the downtown cultural road in Chenzhou City, there is a very small alley, and inside is the Yidi Mausoleum, a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit.
Even those who have lived in Chenzhou City for a long time, many do not know who the Yidi Emperor is, let alone that the Yidi Mausoleum is in the downtown area.
So, who is the Righteous Emperor?
Emperor Yi was named Xiong Xin (熊心), and was the grandson of Xiong Huai, king of Chuhuai in the Warring States. In the last years of the Qin Dynasty, Qin did not practice the royal way, poisoned the world, and the people looked forward to the emergence of a righteous monarch. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang successively raised troops to attack Qin, and together they embraced Xiong Xin, who was standing in the folk shepherd, as the King of Chu Huai and honored as the Emperor of Righteousness. The world responded one after another, and King Huai, considering that his chu state was created in a chaotic world and the order was undecided, said that the emperor was calm and open-minded, so he sent Liu Bang, who was generous and temperamental, to attack the west, and sent Xiang Yu to attack north, and agreed that whoever attacked Hangu Pass first would let whoever was the king of Guanzhong.
Xiang Yu originally wanted to take advantage of the power of the Yi Emperor to command the world, but the Yi Emperor was just and strict and was not at the mercy of the Emperor. In 206 BC, Emperor Xiang Yu migrated to Chenxian County, secretly assassinated Yingbu, the king of Jiujiang, in Jiangzhong and buried in Chen. Liu Bang, the king of Han, sent Wang Ling, Zhou Bo, and Fan Yu to mourn, and in the name of Xiang Yu's "great rebellion and rebellion, and the killing of the king is not a subject", the three armies of Xiang Su and the princes of hui allied with Xiang Yu jointly cut down Xiang Yu, triggering the "Chu-Han Dispute".
The origin of the Tomb of the Yi Emperor.
The Tomb of the YiDi Emperor was originally an ancestral hall, rebuilt during the Xianchun period of the Song Dynasty, more than 2200 years ago, and has undergone several changes. In the winter of the fourth year of the Yuan Shun Emperor's reign, the General Council Doctor took out of money to govern Chenzhou, and in addition to his official duties, he paid homage to the ancestral hall and climbed the tomb of the Yi Emperor, sighing with emotion, saying that the righteousness of the monarch could not be understood, and the YiDi Ancestral Hall could not be repaired. So the craftsmen were called in, and it was renovated according to its original scale. It is the earliest witness to the history of Chenzhou, which has experienced the ups and downs of The historical evolution of Chenzhou and has become an important symbol of Chenzhou's historical and cultural city.
Tomb of the YiDi
【Qing】Huang Benji
Sunset autumn grass bedchamber idle,
Stone beasts buried moss spots.
Chasing deer failed to become an imperial industry,
Why not shepherd the old folk.
Heavy pupil strength finally supports Chu,
Long Zhun Kuan Ren dared to retreat.
The rise and fall of the ages, Mo Ask,
Jiangdong who saw embroidered clothes also.
