Historical Introduction of Wang Xian's Tomb in Yuntai Mountain, Hebei Province

There is xian county Mausoleum in Yuntai Mountain, Hebei Province, which is an ancient place full of humanistic and historical feelings. Here, you can feel the rich elements of China's ancient style, which is favored and liked by tourists. You can study and visit it.

Yuntai Mountain, located in the east of xian county 15, south of Xiaotun Village, lotus town Street Township, Hebei Province, is a very high mound. About one kilometer west of Yuntai Mountain is the famous tomb of Wang Xian, but the Han tomb in Yuntai Mountain is not smaller than that in Wang Xianling. Even today, Yuntai Mountain is the tallest of 72 tombs in xian county.

It is said that there used to be three "peaks" in Yuntai Mountain, namely, the front peak, the back peak and the middle peak. However, with the passage of time, the back peak is now out of sight, leaving only two small earthen bags several meters high in the front peak, but the most prominent middle peak is also the main peak, which is still preserved today.

Today, the height of the main peak of Yuntai Mountain is about 28 meters. Although compared with many mountains, this height is not a mountain at all, but it is the highest "peak" in xian county, Cangzhou City, Hebei Province.

It is said that in the past, there was a temple named "Yulan Temple" on the main peak of Yuntai Mountain. According to legend, there is a giant Buddha of 20,000 Jin at the wellhead 20-30 meters deep in the hospital, and there is a host named Zheng Sha in the temple. Whenever pilgrims worship Buddha, Zheng Sha's hammering can spread to ten miles away. But now, except for a few trees and dense bushes on the top of the mountain, there is no legendary temple site at all.

At the foot of the mountain, there are many graves of Christian priests. It turns out that according to historical records, foreign missionaries came here to preach during the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty. During Guangxu period, missionaries in North China colluded with the government as foreigners, forcing Zheng Sha, the abbot of Yulan Buddhist Temple, to take over this place, and wanted to build a church here, which was opposed by the surrounding people. In desperation, the church can only accept this place.

Having said that, who is the owner of this tomb in Yuntai Mountain? In fact, until today, who is the owner of Yuntai Mountain Tomb is still inconclusive.

According to online accounts and folklore, Yuntai Mountain may be the tomb of Kuang Heng, an economist in the Western Han Dynasty. Yes, this Kuang Heng is the man who cut the wall and stole the light. When I was a child, teachers and parents often used his stories to educate us to study hard.

This Kuang Heng also worked hard and became prime minister all the way, and was named Le Anhou.

But Kuang Heng's hometown is Chengxian County, Donghai County, which is Kuantan Village, Wangzhuang Township, Yicheng District, Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province. As the fief of Le 'an Hou, he was also in Shandong Province. How did his graveyard end up in xian county (then Hejian County)? Furthermore, although Kuang Heng's story of stealing light from the wall when he was a child was very inspiring, he stole light when he was a child and stole the country when he grew up.

When Kuang Heng became prime minister, he didn't know how to restrain himself. At the end of the Han Dynasty, he colluded with eunuch Shi Xian, framed Zhong Liang, and formed a clique for personal gain. Later, after the death of Emperor Han Yuan, Kuang Heng pacified Shi Xian.

But it didn't last long, and Kuang Heng was also reported. Originally, Kuang Heng's fief was 365,438+0,000 mu, but he always wanted to expand his fief, so he illegally expanded it by various means. Finally, during the reign of Emperor Gaozu, he was exiled to Shu Ren for stealing land, and soon died of illness.

Imagine that when Kuang Heng died, he was already a Shu Ren. He is no longer a prime minister, nor is he an Hou. Therefore, such a large-scale funeral is unaffordable in Kuang Heng.

There is another saying about the tomb owner of Yuntai Mountain, that is, when Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty was in power, nine generals from the 28th General of Yuntai were buried here, and this tomb was named Yuntai Mountain here.

In fact, it's just a folk legend, which adds legend to Yuntai Mountain. Since ancient times, I never knew there were nine heroes buried in the tomb. Yuntai 28 will all be ministers of ZTE, and the lowest titles are Marquis. Therefore, all kinds of statements about the joint burial of nine generals are obviously unreliable.

In fact, there is a monument to the national cultural relics protection unit a few hundred meters east. According to the inscription, the Han Tomb in Yuntai Mountain is probably the tomb of Wang Liang in Hejian of the Western Han Dynasty.

Liu Liang, the Uighur king of Hejian, is the fifth grandson of Liu De of Wang Xian. In the first year of Emperor Han Cheng, he re-established Hejian King and inherited the work of collecting folk Confucian works. Although he did not contribute much to the collation of The Book of Songs by Wang Xian Liu De, he also played a great role in the development of Confucianism. Finally died in the first year of Jianping (6 BC).

If the Han Tomb in Yuntai Mountain is the tomb of Hejian liang wang, there is doubt, that is, it seems that the scale of the Han Tomb in Yuntai Mountain is larger than that in Hejian, which is unreasonable.

Because the Han tomb in Yuntai Mountain used to be a temple, it was later bought by a Christian society, so it has never been stolen and developed. Therefore, it is difficult to determine the owner of the Han tomb in Yuntai Mountain.

In fact, in the 1970s, students of the May 7th Cadre School once dug a tunnel in Yuntai Mountain, but what they dug was a solid stone wall. The project was stopped for fear of collapse. Later, the Han Tomb in Yuntai Mountain was protected by the state and became a national key cultural relics protection unit. As for the owner of this tomb, we have to make a wild guess.
