Suihuangling

1.5km southwest of Shangqiu ancient city, there is a tall mausoleum, which is the cemetery of Suiren, one of the three emperors. According to Han Feizi, Taiping Yulan and other ancient books, in ancient times, people used to eat raw food and drink blood. Raw food stinks, hurts the stomach, and is easy to get sick. Later, people found that fire baked food is delicious and easy to digest. However, there are few natural fires caused by lightning stroke and they will be extinguished in a short time, so it is difficult for people to obtain and retain the fire. At that time, a sage was inspired by the spark of a bird pecking at the flint wood, so he broke off the branch of the flint wood and drilled wood for fire. He taught people this method. Since then, human beings have learned how to make fire artificially, bake food, light, heat, smelt, and so on. Human life has entered a new stage. People call this Saint suirenshi and regard him as "the head of the Three Emperors".

Documentation

According to the records of Ming Dynasty, Qing Dynasty, guide Prefecture and Shangqiu County in the 44th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (1705), "Suihuang mausoleum is located in the northwest of kaibotai, which is said to be the burial place of Suiren. As the saying goes, "the color of the earth is white, but it is not the case today."

There is a remnant tablet in kaibotai in the 53rd year of Kangxi reign (1714) of Qing Dynasty. The inscription was written by Wang Si, a student of Confucianism extension in Yucheng County. It is a monument for "gathering the residents of the Song family in the east of the county to offer incense". It is recorded that "kuobo was granted in Shang Dynasty, and the owner Chen is now in the southwest corner of guide city, where the tomb of xisui Renshi is, where the battlements of Donglei general (Lei Wanchun) are, and kuobo terrace is in the right place."

Mr. Wang Dayou said in his study of the culture of the three emperors and Five Emperors: "Shangqiu is located between 34 ° 23 'and 24' north latitude. This is the ancient navel line, which determines that this place has geographical advantages that other places do not have. The Suiren family established the first capital of China in tangguyanggu in the suishui valley of ancient Shangqiu. " Therefore, "suishui in Shangqiu is the birthplace of suirenshi in the East and the capital of Suiming kingdom.".
