"There is little free land in the north, all the old tombs of Luoyang people. The old tombs of people buried more, heaps of gold no place to buy." ? Tang? Wang Jian "line" excerpt

There is an old saying in China, "Born in Suzhou and Hangzhou, buried in the north of Mang". The city of Suzhou and Hangzhou, we all know, the beauty of Jiangnan, the land of fish and rice, the literati, where both affluent and peaceful, even now Suzhou and Hangzhou is the country's most livable city. But this place many people probably have not heard of, why buried in the North Mang? This matter has to start from the beginning.

China's civilization has a long history, just hereditary dynasties have a history of more than 4,000 years, a long history of countless dynasties, naturally, also created a number of historical cities, such as the famous thirteen dynasties of the ancient capital of Xi'an, for example, and then have the world's attention of the Forbidden City of Beijing. But when it comes to historical cities, there is one city that must not be left out, and that is Luoyang.

In everyone's mind, Luoyang is only the "eastern capital", but in fact, the history of Luoyang can be traced back to the ancient times, and it is one of the birthplaces of Chinese civilization, famous for the Luo River. After Dayu established the Xia Dynasty, the world was divided into nine states, and Luoyang belonged to the ancient Yuzhou, which was the center at that time, and was basically the capital of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou Dynasties, and you've heard of the Erlitou Ruins, right? The first time I've ever seen this site, I've heard of it, and it's in the neighborhood of Luoyang.

The Western Han Dynasty was established after the beginning of the capital in Luoyang, and later moved to Changan; and Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu after the establishment of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and will be the capital of the king moved back to Luoyang. During the Cao Wei period, Cao Pi, the Emperor of Wei, built his capital here, and during the Wei, Jin, and Northern and Southern Dynasties, the capitals of Western Jin and Northern Wei were located here, including the period of Emperor Yang of Sui, who continued to build his capital here. Until the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an capital position is established, Luoyang was reduced to the eastern capital, to the Yuan Dynasty is no longer for the capital.

Why did you introduce Luoyang for so long? Because Luoyang this place since ancient times is the center of the Central Plains, the center of the center, princes and generals as much as the river of crucian carp. However, there is always a death, Luoyang princes and nobles after death where to be buried? It is Mangshan. Because Mangshan is located in the north of Luoyang, slowly known as the northern Mang.

How many tombs are there on the mountain? Let's start with the famous emperors. Zhao Kuangyin is here, Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Cao Pi, Emperor Xuan Di of the Jin Dynasty, and Sima Yi, Emperor Xuan Di of the Jin Dynasty, as well as all the famous dead emperors, such as Li Yu, Lord of the Tang Dynasty, Chen Shubao, Lord of the Chen Dynasty, and Liu Zen, Emperor Huai Di of the Han Dynasty, and the sons of the Zhou Dynasty, who are also buried here.

Plus what Su Qin's, Zhang Yi's, Du Fu's, Di Renjie's, Lu Buwei's, Fan Kuai's, Shi Chong's, Ban Chao's? Powerful ministers or not, great painters and poets or not, schemers and generals or not, as long as a little bit of ability are buried here, *** there are tens of thousands of aristocratic mausoleums.

Mangshan mausoleum can be roughly divided into four sections, the Eastern Zhou, the Eastern Han Dynasty, after the Tang Dynasty, Eastern Han Dynasty, Western Jin Dynasty, Western Jin Dynasty, Cao Wei a section of the Northern Wei Dynasty mausoleums and a section of the group, plus other princes and generals and celebrities graves, it can be said that in the Mangshan Mountain casually take a few steps to see the tombstones, stone carvings into a group of a shovel down all of the cultural relics. Know archaeology and grave robbing the most practical tool Luoyang shovel, right? It was invented by grave robbers near Luoyang to steal your.

So why there are so many ancient tombs above Mangshan? In addition to the above said Luoyang since ancient times is the ancient capital, the center of the country, the geology here is also very suitable for burial. Not to mention that Mangshan belongs to the Qinling Mountains, is a "dragon building cave" place, very much in line with the ancient Chinese feng shui doctrine, just the soil here is very suitable for burial, low water level soil depth, bonding and good, buried here can be very good for the protection of the mausoleum.
