Visit Tang Zhaoling

20 1 1 In early spring, my friend Xiaole got on the bus and took our family to Jiuzhang Mountain in Liquan County. At this time, the weather is still a little cold. I looked through the window, and the trees on the roadside flew back in a hurry. Occasionally, we can see peach blossoms on the roadside, and pink flowers seem to be waving to us: Welcome to Zhaoling, Liquan County!

Zhaoling is the tomb of Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, located on Jiuzhang Mountain in the northeast of Liquan County, Xianyang City. Zhaoling was founded in the tenth year of Zhenguan (636) and lasted 107 until 743 AD. Among them, * * * has 108 buried tombs, which is known as a world-famous tomb. The length of the cemetery and burial area is 12.65km from north to south and 15.45km from east to west, covering an area of 1 13.6438+05km2.

Xiaole is driving, and my family and I are talking about the story of Zhaoling. My family asked me, "Is Li Shimin Zhaoling Underground Palace open?" I replied: "Zhaoling underground palace has not been opened yet, and the current scientific and technological capabilities have not yet met the requirements. If the mausoleum is opened rashly, once the air enters the underground palace, the precious cultural relics inside will instantly turn into powder foam, so the cultural relics department will not start excavation for the time being.

Soon our car arrived at the entrance of Zhaoling, and Xiaole parked in the parking lot. We walked up nine steps, and the road in front of us went straight to Jiuzhang Mountain. It's sunny and crisp in autumn. The statue of Li Shimin stands high in the middle of the road. He looked at the distance with a wide belt in his hand, kind and firm. The statue tablet reads: Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, was born in Ji Cheng, Longxi (now Qin 'an, Gansu), a Taoist priest in Longxi, and a native of Lintao County, Gansu. The second emperor of the Tang Dynasty (reigned from 626 to 649), a politician, strategist, militarist and poet, played a leading role in the struggle against Sui and Tang Dynasties. The victory of Xuanwumen Rebellion of Emperor Taizong objectively played a positive role in the development of social history in the early Tang Dynasty.

Our party continued to walk along the avenue and came to the six reliefs of Zhaoling. This is a stone carving of Liu Jun in Zhaoling, Tang Dynasty. It is called "Boxing Hair?" , "stone method opens", "white hoof is black", "Tele", "green" and "spreading the floor". Among them, "dew purple" and fist hair? "These two stone carvings were stolen in 19 14, passed to cultural relics dealers, and finally lost overseas, and then entered the University of Pennsylvania Museum. The other four pieces were also broken packages and were intercepted in the process of smuggling. Now they are displayed in Xi 'an Beilin Museum. Liu Jun Stone Carvings in Zhaoling in Tang Dynasty are carved to commemorate the six horses that Emperor Taizong fought side by side with Li Shimin on the battlefield. It was handed down by the craftsman Yan Lide and the painter Yan at that time.

The stone carvings of Six Horses in Zhaoling in Tang Dynasty vividly show the posture and character of the horse and the scene of galloping on the battlefield with high relief techniques, simple lines and accurate modeling. The carving lines are smooth, the knife method is round, and the carving works are fine and realistic, which is a famous stone carving art treasure at home and abroad.

I looked up in the direction of Jiuzhang Mountain, where the peaks stood tall and the mountains were covered with pines and cypresses. It's an excellent place for feng shui. In the northern part of the vast Guanzhong Plain, there is a mountain range that runs through the east and west. The mountains rise and fall, and the peaks rise and fall. This mountain range originated in Liquan County, with an altitude of1188m. Around it, there are nine dragon-shaped ridges evenly distributed, raising the height of the main peak, hence the name Jiuzhang Mountain.

I pointed to the main peak and said to my family, "Are the nine ridges around Jiuzhang Mountain like an undulating backbone of loong? The main peak of Jiuzhang Mountain is like a dragon. This dragon is a symbol of nobility and dignity in China traditional culture, and it is also a totem of the rapid development and rejuvenation of the Chinese nation! ″。
