When it comes to the tombs of the main figures of the Three Kingdoms, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is the tomb of Cao Cao. There are too many controversies, no matter where Cao Cao's tomb is, there is a group of people who believe that a group of people refute it. In addition to Cao Cao, the burial places of many people in the Three Kingdoms are also disputed. For example, Liu Bei, there are three different versions of his cemetery.
The first, Huiling said.
Han Huiling is located in the Wuhou Temple in Wuhou District, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province. Covering an area of 2,000 square meters, the sealed soil is 12 meters high, and is surrounded by a 180-meter-long brick wall. In front of the mausoleum, there is a tablet of "the tomb of Emperor Zhaolie of Han Dynasty", which was erected in the 53rd year of Qianlong (1788).
"Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" also recorded, "In the fourth month of Xia, the first lord died in Yong'an Palace...... In May, Zigong returned to Chengdu from Yong'an, and was called Emperor Zhaolie. Autumn, August, burial Huiling"
On April 24, Liu Bei died in Yong'an Palace. In May, the coffin was transported from Yong'an to Chengdu and buried in Huiling in August.
Chen Shou, the author of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", served as an official in Shu Han and was also responsible for the management of documents and archives. He said that Liu Bei was buried in Huiling, and his credibility was very high.
Duan Chengshi's "Youyang Miscellaneous" also wrote such a story, saying that during the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, some tomb robbers took the opportunity to enter Liu Bei's tomb and saw two people playing chess with lights on the lamp, and there were more than a dozen guards around, angry and solemn, and this group of tomb robbers was so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
The chess players were not angry when they saw someone breaking in, and invited them to drink. They were forced by each other's might and drank in a daze. The chess player gave them a few jade belts, and they took them in a daze. Then he walked out of the tomb in a daze and found that the jade belt was a giant snake. And the entrance to the tomb has been automatically closed.
This shows that there is a mystery in Liu Bei's tomb and has never been stolen.
There are historical records and folk legends, and I feel that Liu Bei's tomb is in Huiling, and there is nothing to doubt. However, many scholars have put forward different opinions.
Some people in the Song Dynasty questioned that Huiling was just Liu Bei's clothed tomb, and the real cemetery was in Fengjie, Chongqing, that is, the White Emperor City. It is said that Guo Moruo also said that Liu Bei's tomb is not in Chengdu, but in Fengjie. Many historians agree this way for four reasons.
First, Liu Bei died at the end of April in the lunar calendar, the weather was already very hot, and the body was prone to decay. In this case, it is not realistic to transport it back to Chengdu, which is thousands of miles away. Therefore, he was directly buried in the White Emperor City.
Second, someone collected the Liu family tree scattered all over the place, about a dozen books. These genealogies all say that Liu Bei's tomb is in Fengjie.
Third, in the 80s of the last century, the cultural relics observation team had surveyed many sites in Fengjie and found that there were two building complexes under the county government compound, one was 15 meters long and 5 meters high, 4 meters wide, and the other was 18 meters long, 2 meters wide and 4 meters high.
And there are many ancient tunnels in Fengjie, which look very much like a tomb road. The terminus of these ancient tunnels is the compound of the county government.
Experts believe that this is the real tomb of Liu Bei and Mrs. Gan. It's just that these two suspicious sites are surrounded by buildings and have not been excavated.
Fourth, there are many local legends in Fengjie, such as "Xu You lights the lamp".
said that there was a magistrate named Xu You in Fengjie before, this person was very greedy, and when he heard that Liu Bei's tomb was under the mansion, he looked for various opportunities to find the entrance, and he really let him find it.
In the middle of the night, Xu You held a candle and walked to Liu Bei's tomb with great excitement. I feel that this is good, and that is also wanted. But in the end, he didn't take anything, because the stone tablet in the tomb reads, "Xu You Xu You, no injustice and no hatred." robbing the tomb for no reason, you will be punished for oil", the payment is Zhuge Liang.
Xu You was stupid, Zhuge Liang counted hundreds of years ago that I was going to rob the tomb? Isn't that amazing?
He crawled out of the cemetery to buy oil, but no matter how much he poured into it, the ever-bright lights in the cemetery were not satisfied. Xu You bought all the oil in the city, but it still didn't work. Finally, his wife said, "I still have some lamp oil to comb my hair, so let's put it in too."
It's also strange to say that this bit of oil is poured in, and the ever-bright lamp is full at once. The words on the stele have also been changed to "Fenggong Shoujie", which is said to be the origin of Fengjie.
Since then, Xu You has changed his greedy face and become honest and honest. Therefore, Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, hundreds of years after their deaths, were still worried about the people and sought the well-being of the people.
There is a third theory of Liu Bei's tomb, which is the Lotus Mountain of Pengshan, Sichuan.
The reason is that there are nine hills around Lotus Mountain, which is known as "Nine Dragons Looking Back". These nine hills are like nine petals, surrounding the lotus heart in the middle. In Feng Shui, this is an excellent cemetery, with a rarity comparable to that of the Ming Tombs in Beijing.
And more importantly, there is a huge ancient tomb in the lotus heart part. Whether this ancient tomb is Liu Bei's tomb or not, it is not known. However, at that time, the mountain road from Chengdu to Lianhua was very developed, and it took half a day to arrive.
If Liu Bei's body was transported back to Chengdu, why not choose a feng shui treasure for burial?
There is also a local folk song that has been sung for a long time: to find Liu Beipo, Xinjin out of the east gate, into the mountain thirty miles, is Liu Bei's tomb.
There are three claims, each of which has a basis. Therefore, the location of Liu Bei's tomb is also disputed.
