029-35767009The Mausoleum of Emperor Taizong of Tang is located on Mount Jiuzong
Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, was an outstanding politician and military strategist in Chinese history, and a very accomplished feudal emperor. He reigned for twenty-three years and established the brilliant monument of the Zhenguan era, which was praised by later generations. He personally chose Mount Jiuzong in Lixian County as his burial site and named it Zhaoling. Zhaoling is 1224.9 meters above sea level, with a steep mountainous terrain, located in the shade of the Jing River and the sun of the Wei River. It is separated from Mount Taibai and Zhongnan Mountain by the vast Guanzhong Plain, with rolling hills on both sides, creating a spectacular view. From the tenth year of Tang Zhenguan (AD 636) when Empress Wende of Taizong, Empress Changsun, was first buried, to the twenty-ninth year of Kaiyuan (AD 743), the construction of Zhaoling Mausoleum lasted for 107 years. A large number of cultural relics have been preserved both above and below the ground, which are the physical evidence of the early Tang Dynasty's transition to the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Li Shimin ascended to the throne, and his reign was known as the Zhenguan era. In the early years of his reign, he listened to the opinions of his ministers and accepted advice humbly. He governed the country with literature, practiced frugality, encouraged agriculture and sericulture, and achieved recuperation and peace, creating the 'Zhenguan Governance'. He expanded the territory, defeated the Eastern Turks and Xueyantuo, conquered Gaochang, Kucha and Tuyuhun, and severely damaged Goguryeo. He established the four towns of Anxi, lived in harmony with the various ethnic groups in the northern region, and was honored with the title 'Heavenly Khan', laying an important foundation for the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty that lasted for more than a hundred years. Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin

This mountain in Shaanxi, Jiuzong Mountain, is actually a massive tomb
The Wei River is in front, and the Jing River is behind. Looking at Jiuzong Mountain from all sides, it looks like a tiger lying down from the north, like a dipper from the south, and like a pen holder mountain from the east and west. Such geomancy is naturally a treasure land highly recommended by geomancy masters. Because of the excellent geomancy of Jiuzong Mountain, a massive tomb was also built on this mountain. So, the question is, do you know whose it is? With these questions and curiosity, let's talk about the things about Zhaoling today. Zhaoling Mausoleum has a perimeter of 60 kilometers, covers an area of 200 square kilometers, and has more than 180 accompanying tombs. From the tenth year of Tang Zhen Guan (AD 636) when Empress Wen De of Taizong, Changsun, was first buried, to the twenty-ninth year of Kaiyuan (AD 743), the construction of Zhaoling Mausoleum lasted for 107 years, leaving a large number of cultural relics on and under the ground, which is the physical witness of the early Tang Dynasty towards the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Zhaoling set a precedent for the Tang Dynasty emperors to build tombs because of the mountains. From the south of the mountain, the stone was cut into the Yuan Palace. From the mound to the tomb, it is about 75 feet deep. There are five stone doors in front and back. There are many stone boxes on both sides of the tomb. The boxes are filled with iron boxes, and the iron boxes are filled with burial objects. The original copy of Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Orchid Pavilion is kept in the iron box.
