The Liu family tree proves that Liu Bei was buried in Fengjie
This article is written by Ni Fangliu
In the headline of "Playing a Phoenix Under the Plane Tree", I talked many times about the authenticity of Liu Beihuiling in Chengdu. Chongqing netizens are very supportive of my point of view, believing that Chengdu is only Liu Bei's crown tomb, and the real body cemetery is fengjie in Chongqing.

Why? Lady Gan's tomb is in Fengjie, so Liu Bei should also be buried in Fengjie.
Chongqing scholar Li Junjian held this view. Why is it said that if Lady Gan is buried in Fengjie, Liu Bei will also be buried in Fengjie? Before liu bei died, he said that he would be buried with Lady Gan after death. Later, Zhuge Liang used the phrase "榖則異室, and death is the same cave" in the table text inviting Lady Gan to be buried together, expressing the significance and importance of the joint burial.
The so-called Joint Burial of Huiling by Gan Fu and Liu Bei is actually buried together in Fengjie, and it is Liu Bei who is buried together in Lady Gan's tomb, rather than Lady Gan buried together in Liu Bei's tomb.
The phrase "the harp is different, and the dead is the same cave", from the "Book of Poetry and the Great Cart".
The whole poem of "Big Car" is only 12 sentences and 48 words. It is a love poem of the ancients, to the effect that a young man in a big car falls in love with a girl, and he mobilizes her beloved to elope with him, but she is a little hesitant. Therefore, the young man swore to heaven that he must be united with the girl, that he could not share a bed in life, and that he would die in the same cave-
(Mrs. Gan in modern film and television)
Big car sills,
The coat is like a slug.
Isn't it?
The feared son did not dare.
The big car is chattering
Dressed like a coat.
Fear does not run.
Yu Ze Alien Chamber,
Dead is the same as the cave.
Unbelief,
It's like a day.
Some modern scholars have made the following translations, which are copied as follows:
Big car Mercedes rumble,
Cyan felt made of car canopy.
Don't I miss you?
I'm afraid you won't dare to meet each other.
The slow and heavy sound of the big car,
Red felt made of canopy.
Afraid that you will elope and dare not move.
The living room is different,
After death, it is buried in a grave.
If you still don't believe me,
The sun testifies in the sky!

The translation level of this poem is very good, and Zhuge Liang quotes it very appropriately. Posterity believes that Liu Bei's love for Lady Gan is sincere, and then believes that they are really buried together after death, just in Fengjie!
However, this is not iron evidence, in order to prove that Liu Bei is really buried in Fengjie, you have to come up with strong evidence, rather than analysis and speculation, coincidentally, really from the Liu family tree, found "iron evidence" - "iron epitaph".
The claim that Liu Beizhen was buried in Fengjie appeared at least a hundred years ago in the early Qing Dynasty, and I mentioned this in the book "The Tomb of the Three Kingdoms".
Li Junjian collected 16 kinds of "Liu Clan Genealogy" from all over the country, and the study of genealogy strongly supported this view. Genealogical information is generally more credible, often the official history books can not be disclosed information, in the genealogy can be found, and as a secret within the clan, easily will not let outsiders know.

The surname Liu is one of the most Chinese surnames, ranking fourth after Li, Wang, and Zhang. The surname Liu can become a big surname, mainly because liu has an early origin, and has been used as a "national surname" for a long time in history (such as the two Han and Shu Han), with many wang clans, wide distribution, surnames, surnames, and ethnic minorities from the surname.
These "Liu Clan Genealogies" come from Chongqing, Sichuan, Hubei, Taiwan and other places. Among them, there are 12 kinds of Liu clan genealogy, all of which record that the descendants of the Liu clan are Liu of the Qi surname, Fazhi Pengcheng, who is the son of Liu Bang, the founding emperor of the Western Han Dynasty, and a descendant of Liu Sheng, the King of Zhongshan Jing, and is the same as Liu Bei, the so-called "Pengchengtang".
The "Pengchengtang" ancestral hall often has couplets——
"Tao Tang Tianhan East and West, Luge Pengcheng Far and Near Sect".
"The Han Dynasty military general Xiangfu, Pengcheng's descendants out of the official family."
"The Han Dynasty is still there, and the Pengcheng Han Dynasty has been passed down from ancient times."

Fengjie Xinglong Temple Bay "Pengchengtang Liu Clan Genealogy", is the Qing Tongzhi twelfth year (1873 AD) Andingtang engraving, only the first volume remains, line binding. The last two pages of these were written by posterity brush characters. The book cover is a stiffer paper of the same color with bookmarks on it. The title page is framed in yellow. "Peng Chengtang" is lined up in three horizontal rows, with "Liu Clan Genealogy" written vertically on the lower side and "Continued Cultivation of The Genealogy of the Twelve Years of Tongzhi of the Great Qing Dynasty" on the left.

There is also a double fish tail in the center of the plate, the upper part is inscribed "Liu Clan Genealogy", and the middle is inscribed with the content of the volume and the number of pages. The next section is inscribed "Peng Chengtang".
The Fengjie Xinglong Temple Bay "Pengchengtang Liu Clan Genealogy" enshrines Liu Bei as the first ancestor. There are figures of Zu Ying, ancestral halls and ancestral halls of the Liu clan on the genealogy book.
The Fengjie Xinglong Temple Bay "Pengchengtang Liu Clan Genealogy" clearly writes the burial place of liu bei, the ancestor of the first generation. In the "Liu Clan Genealogy" of Fengjie Gaoyao, Zigong, Jiangjin and other places, it is also stated that Liu Bei's burial place is in Fengjie, and the "Iron Epitaph" is recorded.

Fengjie Gao gao ben reads: "Taizu Liu Bei zi Xuande, the number of Han Zhaolie Emperor, finally the White Emperor City, the capital of The Prefecture of Fuzhou, was buried in the back garden of the City of Fu.

According to some people, the "Liu Clan Genealogy" collected by the Wuhou Ancestral Hall in Chengdu also records: "Liu Bei was buried in the back garden of the Fuzhou Capital, sealed the tomb with raw water, and inscribed an iron epitaph." ”
……
It seems that Liu Bei's true graveyard is more complicated.
