The last year of the Qin Dynasty was a time when a group of heroes competed, and it was also the most glorious period in the life of King Xiang Yu, but unfortunately, he was so powerful that he was finally surrounded by Gaixia, and finally killed himself in Wujiang. There have been many tombs of overlords in later generations, but there is no definite evidence to prove them. Instead, many mysteries have been left for future generations. As for which tomb is the real Overlord’s tomb? If you want to know, let the editor reveal the secret for you:

"Life is a master, and death is a ghost. I still think about Xiang Yu, but refuse to cross Jiangdong". These poems are the heartfelt confession of Song Dynasty poet Li Qingzhao, and also the author's regretful words of overlord Xiang Yu. According to historical records, after Xiang Yu was surrounded by Han Xin, he had a chance to get away, but he resolutely chose to mutilate himself. In the end, he was dismembered by the Han army to invite meritorious service, leaving only the corpse, which was terrible.
However, Xiang Yu still had an old ministry in Jiangdong. Some loyal subordinates collected his body and placed it in a coffin, and buried it in the princely courtesy, leaving behind a famous overlord’s tomb. However, there is almost no conclusion about the exact location of the Tomb of the Overlord, people can only guess about it.
According to "Historical Records of Xiang Yu Benji": "(Liu Bang put Xiang Yu as the first level) used Lu Gong's funeral to be the city of the valley, and the King of Han went away in tears in mourning." The translation means that Liu Bang once ordered people to bury Xiang Yu's head in Gucheng, and he cried bitterly to express his grief. The Gucheng mentioned in "Historical Records" is actually the Sancun Village of Jiuxian Township, Jiuxian Township, Dongping County, Tai'an City, Shandong Province. The local people call Xiang Yu's cemetery "Overlord's Tomb."
According to the village elders, in the Republic of China, the mound of Xiang Yu’s cemetery reached more than 100 meters in diameter and 10 meters in height, which was very large. However, with man-made destruction and trampling, the scale of tombs has shrunk, and the tombstone has broken into two pieces. But looking closely at the tombstone, we can still find that what is written on the tombstone is exactly "The King of Chu, Qin Liba died with a sword, and who can climb a thousand years with a heavy pupil. The autumn wind, banana deer and pedestrians regret, sleep in the grass... …In the spring of Wushen, Yu came to guard Wenyang, and passed through Gucheng to see the village stele, moss, ancient tombs, and the tombs of the scholars..." Although the writing is slightly missing, the overall context is extremely clear and clear.
Coincidentally, there is also a place called "Bawang Tomb" in Fenghuang Mountain, Wujiang Town, Hexian County, Anhui Province, and there is also a Yuji Tomb nearby. The two tombs are not far apart, and they stay together. According to the "Records of the History", after Xiang Yu was forced to mutilate himself, the body was snatched by the Han army, leaving only the remains and blood coats. It was these objects that were eventually collected by the local people and buried near the Wujiang River. "Clothes mound". For a long time, literati and inkmen have written poems and verses here, lamenting the courage of the overlord, regretting the end of the hero, and even some people have invested in the construction of pavilions here to worship the overlords Xiang Yu and Yu Ji.
But having said that, the authenticity of the above two so-called “Overlord’s tombs” is in fact open to question, but the next overlord’s tomb is extremely realistic, which makes people wonder whether the Overlord was actually buried. Here? This overlord’s tomb is located in the mound slope of Angang Village, Xianrendu Town, Laohekou City. It is located on the open hilly ground on the east bank of Hanshui River, with rolling hills and hills in the east, and close to the east of Hanshui River in the west. Alluvial plain on the shore.
This overlord’s tomb has a total area of 148,000 square meters. During 1992, it was rescued and excavated by the Hubei Provincial Institute of Archaeology and the cultural relics departments of Xiangyang and Laohekou. With the efforts of archaeological experts, a large number of national first-class cultural relics were unearthed from the tomb, including unearthed painted lacquered square beans, lacquer ear cups, painted wooden arm bronze crossbow machines, and openwork jade pendants. Intact and high-level, they can be called fine cultural relics in the treasure house of my country's cultural heritage.
Archaeological experts inferred from the age of the cultural relics that the tomb should be the tomb of the nobles of Chu during the Warring States Period. It is precisely this point that directly targeted Xiang Yu himself. As everyone knows, Xiang Yu is a descendant of the great general of the Chu State Xiang Yan, and belongs to one of the nobles of Chu State. It is in fact completely reasonable for future generations to bury Xiang Yu with a noble courtesy.
But just as people were immersed in the joy of finding the Overlord’s tomb, a message came again. The deciphering of the bamboo slips unearthed in the Overlord’s tomb showed that the owner of the tomb was someone else.. Z1z
ancient characters experts deciphered that the 24 bamboo slips unearthed from the Bawang’s tomb were all sent books, that is, a list specifically used to record funeral objects. One of the chronicles is recorded as "the day of the five-year-old Xia Luan and the month of Guiyou at the age of Zhou Ke Nan Gongkou and Chu". This phrase is the date of the burial of the burial person, and it also shows that the owner of the tomb died of illness. In Chu’s chronology calendar, the chronology of events is uniquely adopted, that is, the chronology of major events that occurred in the country in the previous years is based on the chronology of the year, rather than the name of the king. The "Zhou Ke Nan Gong" mentioned in the article refers to the year after the emperor Zhou sent his envoy to Chu, which is the seventh month of the Chu calendar, Guiyou Day.
inferred from this point, archaeologists believe that the so-called "weekly guest" should not appear in the Western Zhou Dynasty, but in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, which is the Warring States Period. The reason is very simple. Most of the cultural relics unearthed in this tomb are similar to the Baoshan Chu Tomb buried in 316 BC. The King of Chu died in 202 BC, a difference of more than 100 years between the two. And from the inference of the funeral equipment, the owner of the tomb should be the "Yuan Shi" of the scholar-official class, that is, "the scholar of the emperor." Therefore, "the man of the emperor" cannot be the brave king Xiang Yu, but a bureaucrat.
From this point of view, this is not the real tomb of King Chu, everything stems from a legendary misunderstanding. As for where the real Overlord’s tomb will be? We can only hope that archaeologists can once again unearth the other two overlord tombs and finally reveal the truth about the tombs.
