Xiaoliang culture is a kind of tomb culture. Xiaogang is now called Xiaoliang river. It is an ancient river road named after the royal family name, and the tombs of Qiliang are mostly on both sides of the river. During the Qi and Liang dynasties, Prince Gongqing paid a visit to the mausoleum. From the capital of Jiankang (now Nanjing City, the capital of song, Qi, Liang and Chen in the Eastern Jin and Southern Dynasties), Qinhuai River, along the pogangdu (an artificial canal in the Six Dynasties period), started from the south of the Shanxi side of Jiangning in the west, passed through the Jiangning lake and other places, entered the Jurong Chishan lake, crossed the Maoshan hills and Gangdi, reached today's Danyang, merged into the water network, and connected with Taiyuan in the East The stone beast guards the entrance of Xiaogang and becomes the mark of the entrance of the mausoleum area, so the mausoleum entrance is also named.
