Sun Quan's tomb

There is a mound in front of Xiaoling Mausoleum in Ming Dynasty, formerly known as sun Linggang. It is the burial ground of Sun Quan, the great emperor of Wu in the Three Kingdoms period. It is also the earliest Mausoleum of Six Dynasties in Nanjing. Sun Linggang also buried Sun Quan's wife, Bu's, and his later wife, pan's. sun Deng, the prince of xuanming, was also buried near Sun Ling. When Zhu Yuanzhang built Xiaoling in the early Ming Dynasty, Li Xin, the governor of the Chinese army, who was in charge of the construction of Xiaoling, suggested to Zhu Yuanzhang that Sun Quan's tomb should be removed. Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Sun Quan is also a hero. Keep it for me. 1 in this way, when building Xiaoling, only Shi Qilin in front of Sun Quan's mausoleum was moved to another place, and sun's mausoleum was still completely preserved in place. It is also known as the tomb of King Wu. It is located at the south foot of Zhongshan Mountain in Nanjing City, and it was called sunlinggang in ancient times. It is 300 meters south of Xiaoling Mausoleum in Ming Dynasty. In Nanjing, it is still said that when Emperor Taizu built the Xiaoling Mausoleum, he ordered to move the tombs in this area. The temple once said, "Sun Quan is also a hero. Let him guard the door for me.". Therefore, Sun Quan's tomb was not destroyed when the Xiaoling Mausoleum was built, and the Shinto of the Xiaoling Mausoleum had to bypass sun Linggang. This is why the Shinto of the Xiaoling Mausoleum was not straight. There is only a small tomb, but no tablet.

Historical evolution

There is a mound in front of the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty, formerly known as sun Linggang. It is the mausoleum of Sun Quan, the great emperor of Wu in the Three Kingdoms period. It is also the earliest Mausoleum of the Six Dynasties in Nanjing.

Jiangling, also known as the tomb of King Wu, is located at the south foot of Zhongshan Mountain in Nanjing city. It was called sunlinggang in ancient times. It is 300 meters south of Xiaoling Mausoleum of Ming Dynasty. In Jiangling mausoleum, the empress Bu's family and the empress Pan's family of Sun Quan were also buried. Sundeng, the prince of xuanming Dynasty, was also buried near sunling mausoleum. The 31 square kilometer scenic spot, with mountains and rivers, and Lin Ling Hui Ying, has a vast extension and profound connotation. It integrates natural landscape and cultural heritage. It is worthy of being a model of the perfect combination of humanity and nature, showing the world a magnificent historical scroll.

Today's Jiangling site is located in Meihua Mountain of Xiaoling of Ming Dynasty. There is only a small tomb, but no tablet. There is only one stone tablet, one stone bridge, one annotation board and one stone statue.

The Xiaoling Mausoleum of Ming Dynasty is a royal mausoleum with the tomb of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and his wife empress Ma as the core. It has long been known by people. However, on the southern foot of Zhongshan Mountain and Meihua Mountain, the tomb of Jiang is rarely known. Deviated from the main road, there is a tablet of "Sun Quan's tomb" standing at the head of a small stone bridge. It's green all around in silence. It's past the season of plum blossom blooming. It's no chance to enjoy the beautiful scenery of blooming flowers, red and green, and spring. There's no subtle fragrance floating and fragrant spirit. Across the bridge, Sun Quan, the king of the state of Wu, stands face to face in a lush plum forest. Every plum tree is covered with green and yellow fruits.

It takes about 20 or 30 minutes from any entrance of Xiaoling Mausoleum to Jiangling site. Just a few minutes by bus.

On the site

Jiangling is the earliest Tomb of Six Dynasties in Nanjing. The queen and Prince xuanming were also buried here. When Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, built the Xiaoling Mausoleum, he kept sun Linggang and only moved a pair of Shi Qilin in front of Jiang's mausoleum. In order to commemorate Sun Quan's burial in Meihua Mountain, a new Sun Quan story Park was built at the eastern foot of Meihua Mountain in 1993. In the center of the garden is a tall stone statue of Sun Quan, 5.1 meters high. On the southwest side of the statue, there is a fan-shaped Gallery of Sun Quan's stories, embedded with 12 relief stone carvings of Sun Quan's stories, vividly representing the life of the great emperor of the east Wu Dynasty. There have been different opinions about where Jiang Ling is. He yunao, director of the Institute of cultural and natural heritage of Nanjing University, disclosed during a lecture at the "citizen school" in Nanjing that a large man-made structure was found near the Boai Pavilion in Meihuashan, Nanjing, which is suspected to be related to Jiang Ling.

Sun Linggang is also called plum blossom mountain because plum blossom is widely planted on the mountain. Every spring, the plum blossom in full bloom on the mountain, clusters of brocade, visitors. It has become a custom for Nanjing people to visit plum blossom mountain to welcome spring.

During the research of "tombs of Six Dynasties", we found that the structure of one place was significantly different from that of its front and back passageways, which was similar to the gate wall of ancient tombs. He once dug a trench and kept pouring water. Later, he found a trumpet shaped intersection with rammed earth on the top and rammed earth on the bottom

The structure excavated into the mountain is similar to that of the mausoleum of the Han Dynasty. According to these, we can't be sure that this is Jiang Ling, but it's a historical coincidence that Bo'ai Pavilion is just built on this structure.

Related history

Sun Quan moved the political center from Jingkou to moling in A.D. 211. The next year, he built a stone city and changed moling to Jianye, which opened the first page in the history of Nanjing's capital construction. In 252, Sun Quan died and was buried on a high hill at the south foot of Zhongshan Mountain. The burial place was named "Sun Linggang", and later generations also called "Wu Wang Fen". In the 1940s, sun Linggang was changed to "plum blossom mountain". However, whether Sun Quan was really buried on plum blossom mountain has not yet been decided in academic circles. Jiangling is located 300 meters south of Xiaoling of Ming Dynasty. In Nanjing, it is still said that when Emperor Taizu built the Xiaoling Mausoleum, he ordered to move the tombs in this area. The temple once said, "Sun Quan is also a hero. Let him guard the door for me.". In this way, when the Xiaoling Mausoleum was built, only the stone Qilin in front of Sun Quan's mausoleum was moved to another place, and sun's mausoleum was still completely preserved in place. Therefore, during the construction of the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty, Jiang's mausoleum was not damaged, but the Shinto of the Xiaoling Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty bypassed sunlinggang, and only a small tomb was left, and no tablet was seen.

"Suspected Jiang Ling" discovered by precise magnetic survey

As the first imperial mausoleum in Nanjing, Jiang Mausoleum of Sun Quan, the great emperor of Wu, has become a legendary imperial mausoleum because there is no surface remains to be found. In order to solve this historical mystery, the research group of "comprehensive investigation and Research on the tombs of the Six Dynasties in Jiangsu Province" has initially found out the specific location and scale of Sun Quan's Mausoleum through more than one year's investigation and survey based on historical materials. A few days ago, he yunao, head of the research group and professor of History Department of Nanjing University, told reporters about Sun Quan's exploration trip to Jiang Ling.

According to the biography of Wu Zhu in the annals of the Three Kingdoms, Quan Hong was born in April of the second year of the Taiyuan Dynasty. He was seventy-one years old and was named the great emperor. In autumn and July, Jiang Ling was buried. Danyang Ji written by Shan Qianzhi in the Southern Dynasty explains the origin of the naming of Jiang Ling: "Jiang Ling was named because of the mountain, so was the mausoleum of the great emperor of Wu.". In ancient times, Nanjing Zhongshan was called "Jiangshan". This information shows that Jiangling is probably located in the area of Zhongshan.

As for the specific location of Jiang's mausoleum, Zhang Dunyi of the Northern Song Dynasty provided an important clue in the chronicles of the Six Dynasties: "when the great emperor died, he buried Jiang's mausoleum. According to the history of music, Huanyu Ji is located in Bali of Jiangshan mountain in the northeast of the county, and Danyang Ji says that Jiangling is named after the mountain. Today, the temple of Chiang Kai Shek is relatively westward. It is said that sun Linggang is Chiang's mausoleum. " According to the clue of "Sun Linggang", most scholars determined that it was located in the area of Meihua Mountain at the south foot of the present Zhongshan Mountain; others thought that Jiang Ling was near the JiangWang temple in the northwest of the present Zhongshan Mountain. Historians tend to say "plum blossom mountain". He yunao, director of the Institute of cultural and natural heritage of Nanjing University and professor of history, told reporters that Xu Song of the Tang Dynasty mentioned in Jiankang memoir that Jiang Ling was located in the "sun of Zhongshan" and Yang was "south of the mountain". Therefore, the specific location of Jiang Ling should be at the south foot of Zhongshan. "Sunlinggang is the old name of Meihua Mountain, but there is no such place near JiangWang temple. The" Jiangmiao Temple "mentioned by Zhang Dunyi may be a Jiangling pavilion built on sunlinggang that year."

Pursuit: the discovery of "underground space" by precision magnetic survey

After locating the general location of Jiangling, the investigation team cooperated with the provincial seismological research department to carry out underground survey with precision magnetic survey (GPM) technology. It is understood that GPM is a kind of shallow detection technology, and its principle is that the undisturbed magnetic field lines of the stratum are relatively normal. If the underground space has been artificially excavated, or there are metal, bricks and other burial objects, the magnetic field lines will fluctuate obviously. This technology is now widely used in karst caves, ancient rivers, buried objects and archaeological investigation.

In June 2003, the first carpet survey was carried out on the south slope of Meihua Mountain and to the west of staff hospital of Zhongshan Cemetery Administration Bureau. The survey team adopted a 2-5M line spacing to ensure that no underground buried body larger than 2 × 2m will be missed in the survey area. However, the survey results disappoint experts: Although several doubtful points have been detected within the area of more than 60000 square meters, they are all small and medium-sized tombs of the Six Dynasties. Some people once suspected that sun Quanling might not be in Meihua Mountain.

In March 2004, the survey team redrawn an area of more than 30000 square meters for the second exploration, and the line spacing of the survey network was refined to 1 meter. Finally, on the hillside to the west of Bo'ai Pavilion in Meihua Mountain, the investigation team made an "abnormal discovery".

The results of magnetic survey show that there is an east-west underpass on the west slope of Meihua Mountain, extending from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, with an oblique length of about 35-40 meters. Expert preliminary
