Nanquan and Taijialing Jinan southern mountainous area of Zhonggong Town surrounded by mountains, Jinyang River, Jinxiu River, Jinyun River three rivers meet here, beautiful mountains and clear waters, peaks and mountains are beautiful. On the south side of the confluence of the three rivers, there is a mountain with an altitude of more than 540 meters called Kangwang Mountain, and there are 10,000 acres of pear gardens on the slopes of Shandong, which is a good place for Jinan To walk and enjoy the flowers. On the slope of a mountain, next to a stone cliff, there is a mountain spring named South Spring, which has a large amount of water, a long drought, and the water quality is clear and luscious. At the top of King Kang Mountain, it is said that there is an imperial king Taijia of the Shang Dynasty buried, so it is also known as Taijia Mausoleum. Taijia was the third emperor of the Shang Dynasty, so why was his tomb on the top of the mountain? Folklore: Taijia was virtuous all his life, diligent in government for the people, and deeply loved by the people. However, he gave birth to a disobedient son named Wodin. Wodin was stubborn from an early age, and no one listened to his words, his father told him to go east, he wanted to go west; let him go south, he wanted to go north, and no matter how strictly Taijia disciplined him, it would not help. Taijia was old, and before he died, everything could be put down, but he was deeply worried about his son's succession to the throne. Therefore, Tai Jia called the old minister of state, the sage Yi Yin, and his son to the sickbed and said to Wodin: "After I die, you must love the people as sons, govern the country diligently, and never be stubborn and willful, misleading the country and the people." All major national affairs should be discussed with Yi Yin. Then he said to Yi Yin, "I entrust you with this indisputable son, and you will help him to change from evil to righteousness and achieve great deeds." If you don't change your habits, you can abandon him and establish yourself as emperor. Yi Yin's face was full of tears, and he repeatedly kowtowed: "For the courtiers, they must do their best to support the prince and achieve the great cause of the country, and they dare not have the slightest private thought." Tai Jia originally wanted to be buried on the hillside on the south side of Kangwang Mountain after death, but he thought that Wodin was accustomed to acting against his father's words, and if he was told to be buried on the slope, he would be buried on the top of the mountain; if he was buried on the top of the mountain, he must be buried on the slope: So he said to Wodin: "After I die, if I want nothing else, bury me on the top of Kangwang Mountain by the South Spring!" "After saying that, I passed away unexpectedly." After Taijia's death, Dawn believed that the whole country mourned: Wodin knew that he was ashamed of his father and regretted it. Thinking that he had never listened to his father's words, and now that his father had died, he must arrange the funeral according to his father's will, bury his father on the top of Kangwang Mountain, and fulfill his father's last wishes. This Kangwang Mountain is surrounded by cliffs on all sides, and the mountain is steep and extremely difficult to climb. Wodin then gathered more than a thousand woodcutters, and day after day, they picked up the eastern slope of the mountain and laid the firewood pad road. For more than a month, a wood road was paved from the bottom of the mountain to the top. On the day of the funeral, dozens of strong men carried the coffin of Taijia and slowly ascended to the top of the mountain along the chai road to bury their father. After dealing with the funeral, Woddin had a fire lit down the hill and burned the wood road to the ground. An imperial tomb of the Shang Dynasty has since stood on the top of a high mountain forever. When Wodin became the queen of God, he still went his own way, indulged in alcohol, and violently attacked the people, and the people complained bitterly. Yi Yin's advice was ineffective, so he deposed his throne and sent him to a place called Tong Palace in Hunan, where he thought about it behind closed doors. A few loyal and virtuous men were lined up to teach them the best way to govern the country. During this period, Yi Yin presided over the government for Wodin, Guotai Min'an, and Wugu Fengdeng. Three years later, Wodin suddenly woke up and resolved to repent. Yi Yin personally invited him back to re-inherit the throne. After Wodin became king this time, he strictly disciplined himself and governed the country well, becoming a very successful emperor in history. The Qing Dynasty poet Dong Yun hung the Taijia Tomb and gave a poem: "Stone path who carries thin vines, chaotic pine remnants of snow sunset monks." The empty mountain has no trace of the ancients, who hung the Taijia Tombs of that year. ”
