Since ancient times, the towering Liangshan Mountain has had the advantages of prominent location, beautiful environment and convenient transportation. According to historical records, the first emperor of Qin Dynasty once built the "Liangshan Palace" on the mountain. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it was repaired and expanded. There is Pogou Village at the foot of the mountain. It is said that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty captured white phosphorus here; hence the name. Legend has it that Emperor Sui Chang also built the "Qingyang Palace" on the mountain. In the Tang Dynasty , Wu Zetian selected Liangshan as a mausoleum and carried out large-scale construction. Li Zhi was buried here in early 683 AD. In 705 AD, The mausoleum gate was reopened again, and "Wu Zetian, the Great Sage Emperor Wu Empress" was buried. Since then, Liangshan, a famous mountain with a long history, has been replaced by the famous Tomb of Emperor Tianfu Qianling .

The Qianling Mausoleum is based on Liangshan Mountain. Liangshan Mountain has three peaks, the north peak is the main peak, tall and straight, and the second south peak is lower, facing east and west, and each has its own top. There is a Shanglan, looking from a distance, its shape is like two nipples of a woman, so it is called Rufeng.

The landform here is outstanding, and the main peak of the mountain is towering, reaching straight into the sky. The bright hall in front is bright, with the porridge on the left and the right, and there are Surrounded by water, it is truly a rare auspicious treasure land in the world.
The Qianling Mausoleum was built in imitation of the Chang'an City pattern, divided into east, west, south and north. It runs in a square direction, on the south side of the city, starting from Shenjiachi Village in Qianling Township (i.e. the southeast corner of the city) in the east, passing through Zhuquemen , then going north to Shimadao Village, then going west to Xiagou, passing through Shangpo Ridge (commonly known as Bangcao) in the south of Huangchao River.

The north city wall is equal to the south city wall, which is also 1450 meters. The east wall is about 2 degrees long, the east wall is 1582 meters long, and the north is 2 degrees west. The west wall is 1438 meters long, and the north is 2 degrees west.

The four beasts from east to west, north and south are arranged in a combined position, bowing their heads and bowing. This point is the "Double Breast Point" and the "Shaojie Point". The discussion about the acupoints of the Qianling Mausoleum can be traced back to Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty passed away in Luoyang, the capital of , . When he was dying, he said: "Although the people are happy, my life is in danger. The gods of heaven and earth arrive, if they delay me for a month or two His life must be returned to Chang'an , "There is no regret in death. "("Old Tang Book ") Volume 5 ("Gaozong Ji"). In order to fulfill Gaozong's last wish, Wu Zetian decided to choose a place in the Weibei Plain. Legend has it that she ordered two great warlocks who were famous in the government and the public at that time, one of which was famous all over the world. Astrologer Yuan Tiangang and the other horoscope Li Chunfeng asked them to choose a geomantic place for the emperor. After receiving the order, Yuan Tiangang searched all over the country but could not find a place he liked. Later he crossed Qinling and translated After crossing Qishan, he came to Guanshen, and there was a protruding mountain with purple air rising into the sky, which happened to intersect with Beidou. He hurried up the mountain, found the right direction, took out a copper coin and buried it in the floating soil. Li Chunfeng took the order. Then he climbed over Yinshan Mountain, walked through the grassland, and walked eastward along the Weishui River. Suddenly, he found a strange stone mountain protruding from the Qinchuan land. This stone mountain was a natural stone mountain. From a distance, it looked like a sleeping man. The beauty was lying under the blue sky and white clouds. The head was covered with dense mountain forests, and the two slender thighs were slightly raised. What was even more amazing was that there was a pair of towering "breasts" on it. The scene before him shocked Li Chunfeng Dumbfounded, he hurried up the mountain, plunged the hair crab into Shishen, then got up and returned the court.
Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng spent nearly half a year choosing the site of the mausoleum and returning to Beijing to resume their duties. They all said that the site of the mausoleum was chosen in Haozhi County. On Liangshan Mountain in Haozhi County, Wu Zetian sent people to check with them. They pointed to a place halfway up the main peak of Liangshan Mountain and said: This is the chosen place. How can the envoys know this? Yuan Tiangang said that he buried a copper coin here, and Li Chunfeng said: he buried a copper coin here. The envoy asked people to remove the floating soil on it. "The people present were shocked: Li Chunfeng's hairpin was stuck on the copper coin buried by Yuan Tianzhi. It was so miraculous and really God's will. The envoy reported this fact truthfully, and Wu Zetian After hearing this, I was very happy and rewarded Yuan and Li heavily. They decided to choose the site of the mausoleum in Liangshan. From then on, Tang Dynasty Gaozong Li Zhi and the Queen of Zhou Dynasty, Wu Zetian, were buried together here.
When the Qianling Mausoleum was built, At the time of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, when the country was full of power, the cemetery was large in scale and the buildings were majestic and magnificent, which could be called "the crown of all imperial mausoleums in the past". In the early Tang Dynasty, Taizong and Li Shimin learned that from ancient times to the present, there is no country that will not perish, and there will be no tomb that has not been dug. Historical lessons, starting from the Zhaoling he and Empress Changsun started, the burial system of "making the mountain a mausoleum" was created. The design was presided over by the famous art masters Yan Lide and Yan Liben brothers. The mausoleum was designed by the architect The Qianling Mausoleum of Tang Emperor Gaozong and Wu Zetian developed and perfected the shape of Zhaoling. The mausoleum was built after the pattern of Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. It is divided into the imperial city, the palace city and the outer city, with its north-south main axis being 4.9 kilometers long. According to literature, the Qianling Mausoleum was "eighty miles in circumference". The original city wall had two layers, with four gates in the inner city, and the Qinglong Gate in the east. It is called Zhuque Gate in the south, Baihu Gate in the west, and Xuanwu Gate in the north. According to the investigation by archaeologists, the inner city of the cemetery is approximately square, with its north and south walls each being 1,450 meters long, the east wall being 1,582 meters long, and the west wall being 1,438 meters long. The total area is about 2.3 million square meters. There are many splendid buildings in the city such as dedicated hall, side rooms, cloisters, towers, Di Renjie and other 60 courtiers' ancestral halls, lower palaces and other splendid buildings. As for the treasures inside, after years of exploration and investigation , a cultural relics worker estimated that it was at least 500 tons! On both sides of the front and rear passages, there are four stone caves, filled with the most valuable treasures of the Tang Dynasty. Nearly 100 meters leading to the King Kong Wall Both sides of the aisle are filled with various gold and silver sacrificial vessels. The top national treasure that interests the world the most is the "Lanting Preface". According to historical records, the "Lanting Preface" was said to be placed on Li Shimin's head in the imperial edict. Below. That is to say, this treasure should be in Zhaoling, not Qianling. However, Wen Tao, the governor of Yaozhou in the fifth generation, stole Zhaoling, but in the list of unearthed treasures he wrote, there was no " "Lanting Preface", then nine out of ten "Lanting Preface" is hidden in Qianling. According to folk rumors in the Qianling area, there has long been a theory that "Lanting Preface" was buried with Wu Zetian.
In the seventh year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, it was also It was the seventh year of Li Yuan's reign. At this time, a child was born, and she was Wu Zetian. However, at that time, Wu Zetian was a child, and people did not know Wu Zetian at all. At this time, Wu Zetian herself did not Knowing that when she grows up, she will become the first queen in history.
Now it seems that Wu Zetian's achievements are very great. From the perspective of the imperial examination system alone, Wu Zetian's achievements are unparalleled. Although the imperial examination system was invented in the Sui Dynasty, it was not reused in the Sui Dynasty and the Tang Gaozong and Tang Taizong periods in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, most people did not enter official careers through the imperial examination system.
After Wu Zetian came to power, she began to recruit a large number of talents from all over the world. At this time, the imperial examination system became the official way to select court officials. The emergence of the imperial examination system gave children from poor families in the Tang Dynasty a chance to get ahead. Wu Zetian is the only queen of a unified dynasty in history. It is worth mentioning that there is another queen in history.
She is Chen Shuozhen of the Tang Dynasty, but Chen Shuozhen is not as famous as Wu Zetian. Historically, women have often been at the helm of government.As we all know, during the late Qing Dynasty, Empress Dowager Cixi was the real person in power in the Qing Dynasty. Secondly, during the Han Dynasty, Empress Lu had exclusive power. It is undeniable that these women are the elite among women.
No matter which woman is in power, she will have a great influence on the dynasty. Having said that, during Wu Zetian's period, there was a very powerful person who passed the imperial examination. He was Di Renjie. At first, Di Renjie was just a minor official, but later he became the prime minister. It is worth mentioning that during Wu Zetian's reign, and Wu Zhou became powerful.
Wu Zetian valued talents, and later rewarded farmers and reformed the government. During Wu Zetian's reign, many talents emerged, and Di Renjie was one of them. In addition to Di Renjie, there was another very powerful person during Wu Zetian's reign, he was Yuan Tiangang. Later generations' understanding of Yuan Tiangang comes from Tuibei Tu.
Most people have heard of Tuibeitu. Now it seems that Yuan Tiangang is really capable. During Wu Zetian's reign, neither Yuan Tiangang nor Li Chunfeng died. At this time, Yuan Tiangang was still making suggestions for Wu Zetian. After Wu Zetian became emperor, he began to apply a large number of talents, and the Qingming Dynasty came into being.
In ancient times, it was very important for emperors to choose imperial mausoleums. Then Wu Zetian is no exception. Wu Zetian also attached great importance to the selection of the imperial mausoleum. At that time, Wu Zetian asked Yuan Tiangang to select the site. So Yuan Tiangang chose Qian County in what is now Shaanxi Province. There must be a reason why Wu Zetian insisted on being buried here.
Yuan Tiangang chose Qianling, undoubtedly because of the Feng Shui here. The feng shui of Qianling Mausoleum is that its environment is yin, its exterior is yang, and yin and yang blend together, so it is naturally the best place for feng shui. Yuan Tiangang chose the address of Qianling Mausoleum after many rounds of screening. Yuan Tiangang came to the location of Qianling Mausoleum at midnight, that is, at night, and watched the celestial phenomena. He saw purple gas rising to the sky on a mountain peak, which happened to intersect with the Beidou.
From this, Yuan Tiangang confirmed that this place must be a Feng Shui treasure. As a result, Yuan Tiangang returned to Wu Zetian, and Yuan Tiangang told Wu Zetian all his findings. Because of this, Wu Zetian chose Qianling as the imperial mausoleum. It was here that Wu Zetian was buried. Qianling Mausoleum is the best-preserved main tomb among the eighteen tombs of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the only one among the imperial mausoleums of the Tang Dynasty that has not been stolen.
On November 26, the first year of Shenlong, Wu Zetian died at the age of eighty-two. It is worth mentioning that after Wu Zetian passed away, not a single word was engraved on her inscription. From this point of view, Wu Zetian's wordless monument has become a historical mystery. Now it seems that the Qianling Mausoleum chosen by Wu Zetian must be a treasure of Feng Shui. After all, Yuan Tiangang had the opinion.
What's more important is that after Wu Zetian's death, her imperial title was removed and she was buried as the "Great Sage Queen Zetian". Today, the Qianling Mausoleum has become a national-level protected cultural relic. To this day, no one can steal Qianling Mausoleum. In history, no one can steal Qianling Mausoleum. This is why Wu Zetian chose Qianling Mausoleum.
