The best time to play in Guanling

the best time to close the tomb: all the year round

Guan Ling is the place where Guan Yu's body is buried, and it is one of the three major temples in China, with a history of more than 1,7 years. After Guan Yu's death, Sun Quan sent his head to Cao Cao, who buried his head in Guanlin, Luoyang, with Hou Lihou. This is the origin of the common name "sleeping in Luoyang and being trapped in the sun". "The History of the Three Kingdoms" contains: In the twenty-four years of Jian 'an, Guan Yu lost Jingzhou and defeated Maicheng. Sun Quan caught Guan Yu in lin ju (now back to Ma Po in Yuan 'an County), beheaded Guan Yu, gave him the right to send his feather to Tso Gong, and buried his remains in Dangyang with a vassal ceremony, which is today's Dangyang Guanling.

According to history, Guanling in Dangyang is the place where Guan Yu's body is buried. Therefore, there is a saying among local people that he is trapped in Dangyang with his head resting in Luoyang. Guanling, formerly known as Dawang Tomb, was built in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. In the tenth year of Chunxi in the Southern Song Dynasty (1183), Wang Zhu, the prefect of Xiangyang, built a sacrificial pavilion in front of the tomb. Temple was built in the third year of Chenghua in Ming Dynasty (1467). Group buildings were completed in the 15th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1536). Guanling covers an area of 45, square meters. There are eight ancient buildings on the central axis, which are Tombstone Pavilion, Hanliang Stone Archway, Sanyuan Gate, Horse Hall, Worship Hall, Main Hall, Bedroom Hall and Mausoleum. There are Huabiao, Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Monument Gallery, Zhaitang, Laizhixuan, Icon Pavilion, Bozi Temple, Qisheng Palace, Buddhist Temple and Spring and Autumn Pavilion on both sides. Above the gate of the main hall, there is a gold-lettered plaque of the Qing Tongzhi Emperor. Around the mausoleum area, it is surrounded by the mausoleum-style red wall and yellow tile palace wall.

Guan Yu, whose word is Yunchang, is from Jiezhou, Yuncheng, Shanxi; In the Three Kingdoms, Shu and Han were the first of the five tiger generals, and they were known as ten thousand enemies in history. Because Yan Liang was beheaded in the midst of all the armies, Cao Cao named him the Tinghou of Hanshou, Liu Bei led his army south, took over the counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and named Guan Yu the prefect of Xiangyang and the general of the bandits. In the twenty-fourth year of Jian 'an, Liu Bei was the king of Hanzhong and Bai Yu was the former general. That year, Guan Yu led an army to attack Fancheng in Coss; Yu Jin supervised the rescue of the seven armies, Guan Yu flooded the seven armies, escaped from the ban, beheaded Pound, and made a great impact on China. Cao Cao was shocked by the news and wanted to move the capital to Xuchang to avoid its sharpness. Guan Yu was loyal and brave all his life. After his death, Liu Chan, the late ruler, pursued Shu Yu as the Queen of Miao Zhuang.

For thousands of years, Guan Yu's image of loyalty, righteousness and bravery has become an idol widely worshipped by Chinese at home and abroad. Especially since the Song Dynasty, Guan Yu was not only widely worshipped by the common people, but also highly respected by Confucianism, Buddhism and emperors. According to the Song Dynasty's "The Buddha's History", China Buddhism has long named Guan Yu as a god, saying "the God of Kuan Lan". In Song Dynasty, Guan Yu was named King of Wu 'an; In the Ming dynasty, he was named a martial saint and also named the emperor. By the Qing Dynasty, Guan Yu was a combination of God, Saint and Emperor, and he was named Loyal and Righteous SHEN WOO, who showed his kindness to Guan Sheng the Great. Obviously, as a warrior, Guan Yu is as famous as Confucius in Wen Sheng; As the great emperor, he was on par with the emperor. And so on, these historical hot tracks and realities of Guan Gong have been fully and profoundly reflected in Dangyang Guanling.

Guanling covers an area of more than 7 mu. Central axis symmetrical mausoleum regulation. The mausoleum is a circular mound with a height of 7 meters and a circumference of more than 7 meters, surrounded by stone walls and fences. In the Southern Song Dynasty, a sacrificial pavilion was built in front of the tomb. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, tombs were built. In the third year of Chenghua in Ming Dynasty, when the sun was shining, Huang Shu was instructed to build a temple. The large-scale Guanling group building was completed in the fifteenth year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty.

The Guanling complex is connected by palace walls, all red bricks and yellow tiles, which are magnificent. On the central axis of the cemetery, Tombstone Pavilion, Huabiao, Shifang, Sanyuanmen, Horse Hall, Worship Hall, Main Hall, Bedroom Hall and Mausoleum are arranged from front to back. There are octagonal pavilions, Spring and Autumn Pavilion and stele corridors on both sides. The main hall is the main building, with a sublime Chinese gold plaque hanging on the front eaves. The large statues dedicated to Guan Yu, his father and son, and Zhou Cang in the hall are vivid, imposing and heroic. There is a bronze statue of Guan Gong, which is 3.6 meters high and weighs 8 kilograms and donated by Taiwan Province compatriots. The tomb behind the sleeping hall is 7 meters high and 7 meters in circumference. With stone walls and stone railings, it is engraved with patterns such as dragons like the sea. In the pavilion in front of the tomb, there is a tombstone of Hanshou Tinghou. The whole cemetery has beautiful scenery, towering cypresses, distant mountains and water, and the seasons are always new. In addition, the story of the Three Kingdoms is well-known and Guan Gong's moral character is admired by the world, so tourists from home and abroad often come together to pay their respects.

At present, the Guanling Temple has been repaired and expanded many times, and eight main buildings on the central axis have been overhauled. Today, Guanling has taken on a new look. From front to back, along the central axis, the mausoleum area is: Tombstone Pavilion, Hanliang Stone Archway, Sanyuan Gate, Horse Hall, Worship Hall, Main Hall, Bedroom Hall and Mausoleum. There are Huabiao, Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Monument Gallery, Zhaitang, Laizhixuan, Icon Pavilion, Bozi Temple, Qisheng Palace, Buddhist Temple and Spring and Autumn Pavilion on both sides. Around the mausoleum area, it is surrounded by the mausoleum-style red wall and yellow tile palace wall.

There are three tombs of Guan Yu in China. First, Guan Yu's hometown of Guanzhou, Shanxi Province, is called Guanmiao; Second, Guan Yu's head was buried in Luoyang, Henan Province, called Guanlin; The third is the Guanling in Dangyang, only here is customized according to the emperor's mausoleum, and there is a plaque of "Megatron Huaxia" given by Qianlong.

it is said that after Guan Yu's death, his body and head were separated, and his soul could not be buried with his body. Every night, Guan Yu's soul roams the Fuchuan Mountain in dangyang yuquan temple, calling out: Give me my head, give me my head, women and children are horrified, and the neighbors are uneasy. At that time, yuquan temple presided over Guan Yu. Have you ever thought about how many people's heads you have taken, and how many people are restless and dead after only going through five customs and beheading six generals? Guan Yu was deeply ashamed when he heard of it, and since then, his soul has returned to the mausoleum, restoring the peace of the past. Yuquan temple has the landscape of Guan Yu's epiphany. It is very interesting that there are no treetops in the Woods after the tomb burial. It is the unity of heaven and man, to commemorate Guan Di or Guan Yu's epiphany, and people and trees are in pity. In fact, after scientific verification, it belongs to the lightning strike area, and the trees grow to a certain height, and the lightning strikes, like Guan Yu, there is no head.
