How many words are there on the tombstone of Wu Zetian in Ganling, Shaanxi?

There is no tablet in Ganling, which was erected by Wu Zetian. Located in Ganling, 50 kilometers northwest of Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province. On the east side of Sima Dao, Ganling is surrounded by Tuque in the north, Weng Zhong in the south and the sacred monument in the west. Magnificent, magnificent.

/kloc-More than 0/000 years ago, Wu Zetian, a woman who ruled China for 50 years, and her husband Tang Gaozong Li Zhi were buried in Liangshan, 80 kilometers away from Xi, Shaanxi. A couple, emperors of two dynasties, were buried in the same room, which has been intact for thousands of years. It is the most special one among the imperial tombs in China.

The tablet without words is carved from a complete giant stone carving, with a height of 7.53m, a width of 2. 1 m, a thickness of1.49m and a weight of100t, giving people a dignified, heavy and integrated aesthetic feeling. There are eight dragons carved on the head of the monument, which are skillfully intertwined, row upon row, bare bones and muscles, silent and full of vitality. On both sides of the monument, there is a picture of Longteng, which is lifelike and lifelike. There is a picture of the Lion Horse on the pedestal, and its horse bends its hoof and bows its head, which is gentle and lovely. The lion held his head high, his eyes bright, and he was very dignified. There are many flowers and plants on the monument, and the lines are fine and smooth, so this wordless monument has always been famous.

According to relevant historical records, after Tang Gaozong's death, the site selection, design and construction of Ganling were carried out under the direct guidance of Wu Zetian. As the main large stone carving on the ground of Ganling, the tablet without words was probably set at that time. Judging from the correspondence between the tablet without words and the tablet describing the sacred tablet, it is very likely that these two tablets were erected at the same time. From this point of view, there is no doubt that the tablet without words was erected by Wu Zetian.

The wordless tablet carefully designed and set by Wu Zetian not only attracts people's attention because of its prominent position in the stone carving of the whole Ganling cemetery, but also attracts people's attention because of its exquisite carving art, unique charm and legendary stories. When tourists come to Ganling, they almost stop at the monument without saying a word, or stare, or take pictures as a souvenir, or give directions and comments. The tablet without words is not only a symbol of Ganling in the eyes of countless tourists, but also a symbol of Empress Wu Zetian. Only after the Song and Jin Dynasties (960- 1234) did tourists inscribe on the tablet and become a tablet with words. 1 135 The Jurchen inscription "A Brief Introduction to the General Command of the Daikin Emperor" is well preserved (with translation attached). Jurchen script is now extinct, and inscriptions have become valuable materials for studying Jurchen script and the history and culture of ethnic minorities in China.

Many words of the Song, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties are engraved on the majestic wordless tablet, which not only naturally forms an' inscription' to evaluate Wu Zetian in content, but also has five elements of truth, grass, official seal and calligraphy. Figuratively speaking, it is indeed a masterpiece that spans dynasties. This may be in line with the original intention of Wu Zetian's monument.
