The mother-in-law's tomb was first built in 1136, the sixth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty. Later, it was destroyed and built several times. Today's mother-in-law's tomb is rebuilt after the founding of new China.

Climbing Zhuling mountain, we can see mother-in-law's tomb surrounded by mountains on three sides and open to the north. The whole terrain is called "Crouching Tiger licking tail", which is a treasure land of geomantic omen. The tomb has a convex dome and is made of Huguang stone. In the center of the Qingshi tombstone is engraved "the tomb of Mrs. Yao Tai, the mother of King Wu of song Yuezhong." The tomb is 9.1 meters long, 3.2 meters wide and 1.7 meters high. The tomb is simple and dignified, surrounded by a tomb enclosure with various flowers and trees planted to hide the mother-in-law's tomb in the lush green forest.

In ancient times, there was a group of ancient buildings beside the tomb of mother-in-law. In front of the tomb, there is a memorial hall for mother-in-law, with tablets for mother-in-law, couplets and plaques. In front of the temple, there is a stone horse, about 1.5 meters high and 1.5 meters long, weighing about 1 ton. One is in good condition, and the other is broken. It has been repaired. There are also stone statues simulating the kneeling posture of Qin Hui and his wife. Nearby, there is a memorial Pavilion for his mother built by Yue Fei. It's a pity that these ancient buildings were destroyed in the war of the past dynasties. Stone carvings, tomb bags and steles have been buried in dust. In recent years, the destroyed buildings have been gradually rebuilt and restored, the cemeteries have been reorganized, steles have been erected, and the mother-in-law's tomb has been listed as a provincial cultural relic protection unit.

background information

Yue Fei is a well-known national hero and anti Jin general among women and children in China. From the first year to the fifth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty

In 1131-1135, he led the Yue's army to fight in Jiangzhou, where he fought against the enemy and consolidated the rear. Mrs. Yao, Yue Fei's mother, also came to Xun with the army and fell in love with kuanglu's landscape. Shaoxing six years (1136), Yue Fei transferred to Ezhou army, but his mother died in the army. Yue Fei wrote to the imperial court and buried his mother's loyal remains in Lushan Mountain, so that his mother's loyal soul could coexist with his favorite Lushan Mountain. The mother-in-law's tomb is located on a hill in the north of Zhuling mountain, the branch of Lushan Mountain, which is regarded as "Crouching Tiger licking tail" by Mr. Feng Shui. The tomb has a radius of more than 9 meters and a height of 1.7 meters. It has a round vault and a limestone structure. In the center of the tombstone, the inscription "mother of Mrs. Yao, King Wu of song Yuezhong" is directly engraved. In front of the tomb are sacrificial platforms and sacrificial utensils. In the northwest of Zhuling, the tomb of Mrs. Li, Yue Fei's wife of Xuxian, is buried. A pair of stone horses and four treacherous ministers kneeling on their knees in front of the temple were destroyed during the Anti Japanese war. Now there is only a pair of stone horses. Mrs. Li's tomb and his mother-in-law's tomb are facing each other from afar. The two tombs are integrated with the green mountains and beautiful waters. It is no longer a tomb where "bones can be buried in the green mountains", but a kind of landscape, a kind of comfort, which is respected by people.

mother-in-law

Yao's mother-in-law is from Tangyin, Henan Province. When the Jin soldiers invaded the Central Plains, they sent their sons to join the army to serve the motherland. And on the back of Yue Fei stabbed "loyal to serve the country" four words, told his eternal life do not forget, respected by the Chinese people as the eternal mother model.

According to historical records, Yao's mother-in-law, a native of Tangyin, Henan Province, was born in a scholarly family. For thousands of years, mother-in-law has been revered as a model of a virtuous mother and child. His mother-in-law gave birth to Yue Fei at the age of 40. At the age of 3, Yue Fei studied poetry with his mother. At the age of 7, he studied history. At the age of 10, he studied Sun Tzu's art of war. Later, he studied martial arts with a famous teacher. Yue Fei, a smart and studious man, did not live up to his mother's and teacher's instructions. At the age of 19, he developed a good martial arts and was determined to join the army and serve his country. The mother-in-law was very happy and stabbed the four words "loyal to serve the country" on her back.

From the first year to the fifth year of Shaoxing (1131-1135), Yue Fei stationed in Jiangzhou (now Jiujiang) twice. In the autumn of 1135, Yue Fei led his troops to repel Jin's invasion. In the spring of 1136, Yue Fei was appointed Deputy envoy of Xuanfu in Xiangyang West Road, and was stationed in Xiangyang, ready to go straight to the Central Plains to recover the lost land. At this time, the mother-in-law was seriously ill and bedridden, and she was ordered by the imperial court to visit her mother. Mother in law struggles to sit up and points to the thorn on Yue Fei's back. She orders Yue Fei to go to the court to fight against Jin. Yue Fei obeyed his mother's orders and rushed to Ezhou, where he sent troops to Xiangyang. His mother died on March 26, 1136.

Kneeling in front of mother-in-law's tomb

Morning news recently morning news about Jiangxi mother-in-law tomb appeared in front of Qin Hui five treacherous minister kneeling, caused widespread controversy among readers. Yesterday, Mr. Wang Zhonghua, a careful reader and retired from the municipal government, called and asked: "there are five kneeling statues of treacherous ministers in front of the tomb of Jiangxi's mother-in-law, but there are only four kneeling statues of treacherous ministers in front of the tomb of Yuefei in Hangzhou. Who is the fifth kneeling statue? This man didn't kneel down to Yue Fei. Should he kneel down to his mother-in-law? " Wang Jun falsely accused Yue Fei

According to the historical materials of Yuewang temple in Hangzhou, there are four kneeling statues in front of Yuefei's grave, namely Qin Hui and his wife Wang, Zhang Jun and WAN Qie. Later, the reporter interviewed the Jiujiang County Tourism Bureau of Jiangxi Province by telephone and learned that there were five kneeling statues in front of the mother-in-law's tomb. In addition to Qin Hui and his wife, Zhang Jun and WAN Qie, there was also a kneeling statue of Wang Jun. According to reports, Wang Jun is the deputy commander of Yue Fei's army and a subordinate of his adopted son Zhang Xian. In July 1141, Qin Hui colluded with Zhang Jun to instigate Wan Zao to impeach Yue Fei. A month later, Yue Fei was demoted. After that, Qin Hui and Zhang Jun instigated Wang Jun, the deputy commander of Yue Fei, to make a false accusation, saying that the Yuefei department was preparing to rebel against Zhang Xian. The imperial court immediately arrested Yue Fei, Yue Yun and Zhang Xian and put them in prison. Wan Zao tried the case and sentenced Yue Fei and his son. Should Wang Jun kneel down to his mother-in-law

The reporter fed back the news that the kneeling statues were Wang Jun to Mr. Wang Zhonghua. Mr. Wang was very puzzled: "Qin Hui and his wife and Zhang Jun planned to kill Yue Fei. Wanzao directly tried and finally executed Yue Fei. It is reasonable for these four people to kneel down to Yue Fei and his mother-in-law, but Wang Jun is just a small figure who had to falsely Sue Yue Fei at the instigation of Qin Hui and other ministers. What's more, Wang Jun hasn't been made into a kneeling statue to kneel down to Yue Fei for hundreds of years, but Jiangxi has been made into a kneeling statue to kneel down to his mother-in-law. Should this be true or not? "

Li Changxian, a professor of history at Nanjing University, believes that Wang Jun was forced by Qin Hui to accuse Yue Fei because Qin Hui wanted to kill Yue Fei on the charge of conspiracy, but someone from Yue Fei's subordinates was required to report, so he forced Wang Jun to give perjury. Professor Li thinks that although it's not bad to make Wang Jun kneel to his mother-in-law, he is a little person with tragic color after all.

Yesterday afternoon, the reporter interviewed Luo Shengsheng, director of the Administration Office of mother-in-law's tomb, who is running in Beijing to apply for national cultural relics protection. Director Luo said that Wang Jun's kneeling statue was not added at will by the management office. It was created in 1517 and later destroyed by the war. It was just to restore its original appearance.
