Zhuzhou, Hunan, Baoji, Shaanxi, Gaoping, Shanxi. There are three tombs of Yan Di in China, which one is correct?

The First Mausoleum of China —— Yandiling

Yandiling is located in Luyuan Town, 0/7 km west of Yanling County, Zhuzhou City, Hunan Province. There are circulating water, towering old trees and beautiful scenery here.

The record of the burial place of Emperor Yan Shennong was first found in Huangfu Mi's Di Ji in the Jin Dynasty. Emperor Yan "collapsed in the reign of 120 years and was buried in Changsha." In the Song Dynasty, Miro wrote a history, more specifically: Emperor Yan "buried the tail of Changsha Tea Town, named Chaling." According to the local chronicles of Lingxian County, there was a mausoleum here in the Western Han Dynasty. At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Qinglin and Chimei armies flourished, and the Yi people were worried about the excavation of soldiers, so they razed the mausoleum to the ground. In the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism was introduced, and a Buddhist temple named "Tangxing Temple" was built in front of the mausoleum. However, in front of the mausoleum, "people worship from time to time."

Yan Di Mausoleum has a history of more than 1000 years since it was built in Gande, Song Taizu. With the rise and fall of dynasties, Yan Di Temple experienced many vicissitudes and was built and destroyed again and again.

During the reign of Taiping and Xingguo in Song Taizong (967-983 AD), the court asked the government to move Yan Di Temple to the south of Chaling County in Song Taizong, that is, to move the Pishi Temple in Luyuan to five miles south of Chaling County. After that, for more than 200 years, the activities of the imperial court offering sacrifices to Emperor Yan Shennong were all held in Yan Di Temple in the south of Chaling County, and Biyan Temple in Luyuan was almost extinct. In the 13th year of cherishing spring in Song Xiaozong (A.D. 1 186), Liu Qingzhi, the commander of Hengzhou, kept the Buddhist temple in the Tang Dynasty instead of the Yan Di Temple, which was a bit neither fish nor fowl, so he asked the court to abolish the former Tangxing Temple and rebuild the Yan Di Temple. Song Ningzong Jiading four years (12 1 1), analysis shows that Le Kang, xia yang and Changping of Chaling Army are located in Lingxian County. Since then, Luyuanpi, where Yandiling is located, belongs to Lingxian County and is under the jurisdiction of Hengzhou Government. Zhichun? In the eighth year (AD 1248), the ambassador of Hunan Anfu knew Tan Zhouchen? The imperial court was invited to ban firewood and grazing in Yan Di Mausoleum, set up gatekeepers, and carried out an overhaul of Yan Di Temple.

After the Song Dynasty, in the Yuan Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, the court only offered sacrifices to Yandiling, but there was no record of repairing Yandiling Temple.

In the Ming Dynasty, the repair of Yandiling Temple was recorded in detail in the history books. There were three large-scale renovations: the first one was in Hongwu for three years (AD 1370). After Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, ascended the throne, he ordered the restoration of the tombs of emperors in previous dynasties, and the Yandiling Temple was also completely restored. The second time was in the third year of Jiajing (A.D. 1524), presided over by Zhi Yi of Ling County. This reconstruction broadens the original temple ruins and basically changes the original appearance of the old temple. The third time was forty-eight years of Wanli (AD 1620). Linghsien county magistrate sent people to collect money by the roadside to initiate reconstruction. Although the scale of the new temple follows the old system, its appearance has been greatly improved.

In the Qing Dynasty, there were about nine well-documented restoration of Yan Di Mausoleum and Temple. In the fourth year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1647), General Gai Yu of Nanming entered Yanling, and Yandiling Temple was destroyed. After that, local officials and gentry made timely repairs, but due to frequent wars and lack of funds, the repairs were not perfect. In the thirty-fifth year of Kangxi (A.D. 1696), Michelle Ye, the sage of Qing Dynasty, sent Wang Shen, a young lady from Taibu Temple, to Yandiling to tell about the disaster and make sacrifices. Wang Jianling's temple building was badly damaged, so he called on North Korea to repair it, and the Pope allowed him to play. Gong Jiawei, the magistrate of Lingxian County, supervised the repair and failed to restore the scale of the previous generation.

In the 11th year of Yongzheng (A.D. 1733), Zhang Jun, a magistrate of a county, used state funds to rebuild the mausoleum hall of the ancient emperor in accordance with the unified format promulgated by the Qing Dynasty. The mausoleum hall is also collectively called the mausoleum hall, just named. This building has laid the foundation for the basic shape of Yandi Mausoleum and formed a four-level pattern of "the first three doors-concierge-main hall-mausoleum". The whole mausoleum is a palace-like building, magnificent, reflecting the traditional characteristics of ancient architecture in China.

The biggest restoration in the Qing Dynasty was in the 17th year of Daoguang (AD 1837), presided over by Yu Changhui, a magistrate of a county, with donations from local gentry. The reconstruction project started in Xia Meng and lasted more than eight months and was completed at the end of the year. The rebuilt Yan Di Mausoleum is tall, spacious, resplendent and magnificent. The ancillary buildings are scattered along the mountains and rivers, forming a unified whole, adding infinite beauty to Yanling.

During the Republic of China, the renovation activities of Yandiling were recorded four times: the first time was in the fourth year of the Republic of China (A.D. 19 15), and the magistrate of Lingxian donated 100 yuan, together with the renovation expenses of Yandiling 14 yuan, to raise renovation funds, which made the civil engineering flourish. The second time was in the 12th year of the Republic of China (1923). Due to years of military disasters, the Lingmiao Temple is about to collapse, and the Lingxian government once again wrote to ask for repairs. The Hunan Provincial Government allocated funds to 500 yuan for the county magistrate Ouyang Mei to repair it. The third time was 1936. In view of the disrepair of Yanling Temple, most of it was damaged, Li Xia, the county magistrate of Lingxian County, set up the preparatory committee for the restoration of Yanling Temple at the beginning of the year. But by halves, the restoration plan failed to be implemented. The fourth overhaul was 1940, presided over by Xue Yue, commander-in-chief of the ninth war zone and chairman of the Hunan provincial government. 1940, the Japanese invaded the southwest. In order to nip in the bud, Xue Yue intends to move the provincial capital to Yanling Mountain in Lingxian County. In the spring of that year, special funds were allocated to build office buildings and staff quarters for provincial government agencies in Yanling Mountain area, and a simple highway from Chaling to Yanling Mountain in Lingxian County was built. At the same time, Yanling Temple was completely renovated.

After the founding of New China, Yandiling was listed as a key cultural relic protection unit in Hunan Province. 1954 On New Year's Eve, the main hall and salute pavilion of Yandiling were burned because pilgrims offered incense sticks and lit colorful flags in the hall. During the "Cultural Revolution", the mausoleum hall and its affiliated buildings were destroyed again, and all of them were razed to the ground except the mausoleum.

After the burning of Yandiling, rebuilding Yandiling has become the strong desire of the people of China. After the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee of the Party, the conditions for recovery are becoming more and more mature. On June 28th, 1986, presided over by Lingxian People's Government, the restoration project of Lingdian officially broke ground and was successfully completed on June 1988. The rebuilt Yan Di Mausoleum is slightly larger than before, and the whole building covers an area of 3,836 square meters. It is divided into five steps: the first step is the noon gate, the second step is the salute pavilion, the third step is the main hall, the fourth step is the tombstone pavilion, and the fifth step is the tomb. Outside the temple, Yongfengtai, Tianbao Embassy and Luyuan Pavilion were restored. The whole building is resplendent and magnificent, with double eaves and upturned corners, magnificent momentum and rich national traditional style.
