Why is Ganling a mausoleum that no one dares to move?

I'm Chu Feng talking about history, and I'll answer this question.

It's not that no one dares to move, but that many people want to pay attention, but they all fail. Now, although they have found the entrance to the underground palace, they are afraid of the destruction of cultural relics and dare not develop them.

To answer this question, we must first say whose tomb Ganling is. Ganling, located in Liangshan, 6 kilometers north of Ganxian County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province, is the burial tomb of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, covering an area of 40 square kilometers. Since Ganling is the mausoleum of the emperor, it has been 1000 years since the Tang Dynasty perished, and people will definitely visit it.

Most tombs in the Tang Dynasty were built on mountains, with Ganling as the most typical one. Many stone statues are isomorphic with the tall figure of Liangshan North Peak, forming the magnificent momentum of Ganling. From a distance, you can see that the shape of Ganling is like a lying woman. There is another legend about choosing this place. Shortly after Tang Gaozong acceded to the throne, he sent Mowgli and a surname to let Li choose a mausoleum for himself. At the same time, they took a fancy to the geomantic omen of Liangshan, and thought that Liangshan was a rare "holy land of Long Mai" in the world. But Yuan Tiangang does not agree with this statement. Yuan Tiangang thinks that Liangshan is a land of geomantic omen, but it has many shortcomings. The northern peak of Liangshan is high, and the two peaks are like breasts. I'm afraid that the yin is too heavy, and women are in power. Emperor Gaozong had a hard time making a choice. When Wu Zetian heard about it, he suggested that Emperor Gaozong choose this place. Later, Gao Zong really listened to Wu Zetian's suggestion and chose this land of geomantic omen. Of course, this is a legend, but it is true that Wu Zetian became emperor later.

Ganling is the place where Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian were buried together. At that time, the Tang Dynasty was rich and powerful, and Wu Zetian was a domineering person. There must be many rare treasures in it. It is said that there are 500 tons of treasures in it. Some people say that if it is developed, it may become the ninth wonder of the world, but jewelry is not the key, and ancient calligraphy and painting books are more precious. It is said that Wang Xizhi's Preface to Lanting Collection is also in it.

Mr. Guo Moruo, a cultural relic expert, once said that there is no doubt that there must be many calligraphy and painting books preserved in the tomb! Open the dry mausoleum, and perhaps Wu Zetian's 100-volume Hanging Arch Collection and 10-volume Golden Wheel Collection can be seen again! Maybe the portrait of Wuhou, the handwriting of Shangguan Waner and others can be seen! Rock-breaking, it must be a rock-breaking event!

There is so much treasure in it, it must be coveted by grave robbers. In fact, it is not only grave robbers, but also many warlords in the war-torn years openly dig Ganling. But they didn't find the entrance, because Ganling was built in the mountains. Without the entrance, they couldn't get in at all, and the dismembered bodies dug up when the tomb was built were moved far away. After years of precipitation, they don't know where the entrance is.

In the history of our country, digging dry graves has a long history. 1200 For more than 200 years, there has never been a grave robber in Liangshan. Thieves are a dime a dozen There is no official record, and unofficial history is too lazy to write. In history, there were thieves with the surname 17, and there were three large poaching activities. But they all gave up halfway for various reasons and failed to steal it. The first time was Huang Chao, a peasant uprising army, and it failed to mobilize 400,000 people to dig. Later, Huang Chao was driven out of Chang 'an, and Ganling dodged a bullet. The second time, Wen Tao, the secretariat of Yaozhou in the Five Dynasties, was a grave robber with an official title. He led soldiers to dig more than a dozen tombs of the Tang Dynasty and made a windfall. The snake swallowed the elephant because of lack of human heart. Later, he tried to dig the grave dry, but it was so stormy that he had to stop digging. The third time, Sun Lianzhong in the Republic of China tried to learn from Sun Dianying to make a fortune, but because the entrance was hard to find, it was useless to blow it up with explosives, and finally it failed.

Later, several farmers put guns on the mountain and a pyramid-shaped mound was blown out. After searching for the entrance to the underground palace of Ganling for more than 1000 years, they finally saw the light of day again. I have to say that Gan Lin is really blessed. Huang Chao's army dug for 40 days and didn't find it, but it was discovered by several farmers. Later, when the country learned about it, it planted a pine tree at the tomb. This tree is very big now.

After Guo Moruo excavated Dingling, he wanted to develop Ganling. It is precisely because many cultural relics were destroyed during the development of Dingling that Premier Zhou said that we can't do everything and leave many things that we can't do now to future generations. Now the technology is not mature, and the imperial tomb will not be developed within ten years. Therefore, when Guo Moruo proposed to dig a dry tomb, he was flatly rejected by Premier Zhou.

In the end, it was not that no one dared to move, but that its armor level was so high that no one found the entrance. Later, the country discovered the entrance, but it has not been excavated for fear of destroying cultural relics. Our country has a long history and culture. Studying ancient tombs can be a good way to study history. I sincerely hope that Ganling will see the light of day one day.

Builders are ahead of scientific design! Feng shui, fate, potential, providence!

Ganling is the joint tomb of Li Zhi, the third emperor of Tang Dynasty, and Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in China history. It is the only tomb among the eighteen tombs in the Tang Dynasty that has not been stolen so far.

In addition to the main tomb, there are seventeen small tombs in Ganling, including Princess Yongtai, Prince Yide, and heroes. By the end of 20 13, only five tombs were excavated, from which a large number of cultural relics were unearthed.

Although Gan Ling was not stolen, it doesn't mean that no one wants to play. Let me take stock of three super-large grave robberies in history.

The first time happened at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao led 400,000 troops to dig Ganling, and dug a ditch more than 40 meters deep, but failed to find the entrance to Ganling. Up to now, there is a deep ditch called "Huang Chao ditch" on the west side of Liangshan main peak.

The second time happened in the Five Dynasties, when Wen Tao organized troops to dig all the tombs of the Tang Dynasty, but it was also because the entrance to the tomb was not found. Ps: It is said that he was hit by wind and rain three times when he went up the mountain. As soon as his troops were evacuated, the weather improved immediately.

The third major case occurred in the Republic of China. Warlord Sun Lianzhong led his troops into Ganling and robbed Ganling with live ammunition. The soldiers bombed many places with explosives, but they couldn't find the entrance to the grave.

Until 1958, a few local farmers in Shaanxi accidentally blew up the tomb door (it was really intentional to plant flowers, but unintentional to plant willows), and the archaeological team conducted a simple excavation of the tomb, proving that it had never been stolen.

However, Guo Moruo, a great talent at that time, was very excited to learn that Ganling Road had been discovered in Shaanxi. He hoped to witness the original Preface to the Orchid Pavilion written by Wang Xizhi, who is said to have been preserved in the underground palace during his lifetime, and to persuade Zhou Enlai to excavate Ganling as the president of China Academy of Social Sciences.

But when he finished digging the benefits of Ganling, Zhou Enlai only said: "The Mausoleum will not be opened for ten years." Since then, the central government's policy of not actively excavating imperial tombs has continued to this day.

Then why can't the tombs of Ganling be found in every dynasty? Let me tell you a folklore first.

It is said that Emperor Li Zhi ordered Feng Shui master Li and warlock Yuan Tiangang (Yuan Tiangang in Jianghu paintings) to choose their own cemeteries. Yuan Tiangang took copper coins as the basis and Li Yichai as the standard, all pointing to Liangshan, north of Chang 'an. Tang Gaozong ordered Wuji to check and found that Li's hairpin was just inserted in Yuan Tiangang's copper coin.

Looking at Gan Ling in Feng Shui just caters to the distinction between Tai Chi and two kinds of instruments. Then it's hard to find out this and that reason. Sorry, I don't know Feng Shui. )

But modern science explains it this way: Ganling is composed of trenches and caves, with the trench depth 17m, length 1.25m ... filled with stone strips with a width of 0.4 to 0.6m.. The stone bars are fastened with iron bolt plates, and the holes between the upper and lower parts are penetrated with iron bars, and tin-iron juice is poured to blend with the stone bars. Such strong protection measures are certainly not easy to be stolen.

What do you mean by Ganling 1 Legend and Wordless Monument?

The tablet without words stands on the east side of Sima Dao in Ganling, opposite to the "sacred tablet" erected by Wu Zetian for Tang Gaozong on the west side. The monument is made of a complete boulder, with a height of 7.53 meters, a width of 2. 1 meter, a thickness of 1.49 meters and a total weight of 98.8 tons.

For thousands of years, people have been thinking about why there are no words in the "tablet without words". It is Wu Zetian's original intention to let future generations comment on her merits and demerits; Or does she feel that she is so guilty that she can't preach for herself? It seems that we have to dig more historical sites to know.

2. Why are all the stone statues headless?

Friends who have been to Ganling must be impressed by the 6 1 stone statues standing in front of Ganling, because they all have no heads!

Some people think that the head fracture of these stone statues is mainly due to the "Guanzhong earthquake" in 1556, which occurred during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. The earthquake center is Huayin County, Shaanxi Province. At that time, the sky suddenly fell, the Yellow River bottomed out, and hundreds of counties in Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan were affected, probably because the earthquake shook the heads of these stone statues. But so far, we haven't found any definite evidence to confirm this statement. This has also become a mystery.

That's what I share with you. If you have any questions, please comment below, and I will give you a positive reply.

Hello, first of all, let's cut to the chase. It's not that no one dared to move, but that the country didn't move in order to better protect cultural relics. Ganling is the burial tomb of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian. Since its completion, it has experienced numerous excavations, of which three are the most famous. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao and Huang Chao used 400,000 troops to rob Ganling, but dug a ditch more than 40 meters deep. They didn't find the entrance to the pyramid-shaped mound, so they had to give up angrily. During the Five Dynasties, Wen Tao organized troops to excavate all the tombs of the Tang Dynasty in Chongzhou, Hou Liang, but Ganling did not find the entrance and gave up. In the early years of the Republic of China, warlords scuffled, and stealing ancient tombs became a common practice. Under the guise of protecting Ganling, Sun Lianzhong, a general of the Kuomintang, led his troops into Ganling and used live ammunition to cover a division's troops to rob and dig Ganling. The soldiers bombed many places with explosives, but they couldn't find the entrance to the grave.

It can be said that Ganling has experienced the baptism of history, but it has survived. Until 1958, several local farmers blew rocks and accidentally blew out the tomb door. 1February, 960, the "Ganling Excavation Committee" was established in Shaanxi Province. After preliminary excavation, it was confirmed that the bombing site was an underground tomb, and the excavation of Ganling underground tomb began on April 3. On May 12, all the masonry in the tomb were made public, and the upcoming Ganling underground palace was seen. Finally, Premier Zhou of the State Council gave instructions on the excavation plan of Ganling that "we can't finish the good work, but this matter can be left to future generations". Later, the State Council issued a notice asking "Don't dig before the Mausoleum of the Kingdom", and the excavation of Ganling stopped.

Therefore, it is not that no one dares to move, but that the country does not want to move. After all, it will be protected after excavation. If it is not well protected, it will destroy cultural relics. The country didn't dig the imperial tomb because of comprehensive consideration. I wonder if it will help you.

Our understanding of Wu Zetian, in addition to TV series, also has a tourist attraction-Ganling, located in Shaanxi. Ganling is the joint tomb of Wu Zetian and her husband, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi. It is the royal tomb where the two emperors were buried, the real royal tomb. According to the statistics of archaeologists, two imperial tombs that have never been stolen have been confirmed in history: one is the dry mausoleum of Wu Zetian and the other is the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang.

As far as the excavation of the mausoleum is concerned, it is the easiest thing to enter the underground palace as long as the main entrance is found. Because tombs are generally buried deeply, the burial depth is as high as several meters or even dozens of meters. If we dig from other places, it will be tantamount to the foolish old man moving mountains, and more than half of the mountains will be dug up, which will make tahoe a big project. As long as you find the right pyramid-shaped mound, you can follow the trail, so how to hide the pyramid-shaped mound in the tombs of past dynasties is also a battle of wits between emperors and grave robbers. Fortunately, Tang Gaozong, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian had the last laugh.

Ganling was built in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, and the funerary objects are naturally rich. In fact, grave robbers have long been eyeing this tomb. As early as the last years of the Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao, a military commander in the last years of the Tang Dynasty, planned to rob Gan Ling. After he occupied Chang 'an, he dug a long and deep ditch with 400,000 troops, but he couldn't find the tomb door, so he had to give up. Today, there is still a deep ditch named "Huang Chao ditch" on the west side of Liangshan main peak in Ganxian County, Shaanxi Province.

In the Five Dynasties, Wen Tao, our envoy from Chongzhou, Hou Liang, was a professional grave robber. He was keen on excavating the tombs of emperors in the Tang Dynasty. He excavated more than a dozen tombs of emperors in the Tang Dynasty, including the Zhaoling Mausoleum in Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, but every time he tried to steal the dry tombs, the weather was terrible. Later, Li Siyuan, the emperor of the later Tang Dynasty, thought he was a scourge, so he found a reason to kill him, and the robbery of the imperial tomb went away. Gan Ling escaped again.

In the early years of the Republic of China, warlords scuffled, and stealing ancient tombs became a common practice. A Kuomintang general, under the guise of protecting Ganling, told Sun Lianzhong to cover a division's troops to rob Ganling with live ammunition, but he couldn't find the tomb door. At this time, the robbery in the army was noticed by the people around. Sun Lianzhong, afraid of arousing fierce opposition from local people, finally stopped robbing tombs. Gan Lin escaped again.

This is a record of large-scale excavation of Ganling recorded in historical books. As for all kinds of folk thieves not seen in the history books, there must be countless. It's just that they can't find the entrance to Ganling.

By 1958, the country was building Xi 'an section of Xilan Highway (Xi 'an to Lanzhou), and several local farmers went to help with blasting and quarrying. As a result, after a few shots, a large number of neat strip stones with words on them were found. Because the local people have the consciousness of protecting Ganling, they suspected that it was an unintentional explosion of Wu Zetian's tomb, so they quickly reported it to the relevant state departments.

It was confirmed by the excavation of the national cultural relics expert group that the place that was blasted was indeed the tomb of Ganling underground palace. Excavation began on April 3, and all the bricks and stones in the tomb were made public. Zhou Enlai, Prime Minister of the State Council, gave instructions on the excavation plan of Ganling, saying that "this matter can be left to future generations to complete". Later, the State Council issued a notice again, demanding that "the national imperial tombs should not be excavated temporarily", and the excavation of Ganling stopped.

Why did you stop? During the excavation from Dingling 1956 to 1958, due to technical reasons at that time, the excavated collections were not well protected and a large number of precious materials were lost. Since then, Ganling has been protected.

Ganling is the burial tomb of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian, and it is also the best preserved and the only unexplored imperial tomb among the eighteen tombs in the Tang Dynasty.

Strictly speaking, Ganling is not that no one dares to move, but can't move! According to historical records, during the Huang Chao Uprising in the late Tang Dynasty, more than 400,000 troops were sent to rob and dig Ganling, but they failed. Later warlords such as Wen Tao and Sun Lianzhong also laid hands on Gan Ling, but they all succeeded!

The reason for all this is that Ganling is built in the mountains and is very strong.

According to legend, at the beginning of the construction of the mausoleum, Wu Zetian ordered Yuan Tiangang and Li to look for a treasure trove of geomantic omen. Li put a copper coin in the place where he thought geomantic omen was the best, and Yuan Tiangang put a steel needle in the place where he thought it was the most suitable.

Later, they came back to me after visiting a treasure house of geomantic omen. Wu Zetian ordered people to visit the site according to their instructions, and found that Yuan Tiangang's steel needle was just inserted in Li's copper eye.

To this end, Wu Zetian ordered people to build a mausoleum here, which was later the dry mausoleum.

Ganling was built on the mountain, and the tomb door was blocked with huge stones. There are also historical records that after Wu Zetian was buried, people poured molten iron into the tomb door and abruptly installed an iron gate on it.

Therefore, even though Sun Lianzhong, a warlord of the Republic of China, used modern explosives, there was still no way to blast the tomb door.

The main house of Ganling should be 500 meters below the mountain, surrounded by rocks. Otherwise, 400,000 people would not have come to dig.

It's not that no one dares to move, but that they can't move. Think of hundreds of thousands of people digging for months and there's nothing they can do. They are willing but unable to do so. According to geomantic omen, only graves built on the Long Mai can help others.

Go to Ganling County to see if it is a mountain.
