the Capital Cities and Tombs of the Ancient Gaogouli Kingdom
Gaogouli is located in Ji'an City, Jilin Province. It includes domestic cities, Wandu Mountain City, 14 Royal mausoleums and 26 noble tombs. Domestic city and Wandu Mountain City (the first name of Lieutenant Nayancheng) are the capital cities of Gaogouli in the early and middle period (1-5th century A.D.).
Its characteristic is that the plain city and the mountain city depend on each other and are all capitals. The Koguryo monument in Ji'an City is a relic of the Koguryo Dynasty. In the plain around Ji'an, there are more than 10,000 ancient tombs of the Koguryo era, which are known at home and abroad as "Donggou Ancient Tombs Group".
brief introduction
Gaogouli (37 B.C. - 668 A.D.) was an important frontier ethnic group in Northeast China from the Western Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties. During the Zhou and Qin Dynasties, the ancestors of Gaogouli lived in the northeast of China. In 37 B.C., Zhu Meng, a Fuyu people, established political power in the area under the jurisdiction of Gaogouli County in Xuanqu County. During the golden age of Koguryo, its sphere of influence included southeastern Jilin, east of Liaohe River and Northern Korean Peninsula. In 668 AD, Koguryo was destroyed by the Tang Dynasty and Sinura in the southeastern part of the Korean Peninsula. It lasted 705 years in history.
Located in Ji'an City, Jilin Province, the tombs and murals of Koguryo kings, mausoleums and nobles are classics of brilliant civilization created by Koguryo, which has been obliterated by the long history.
Historical capital
The King City of Koguryo is a capital city, consisting of both the plain city and the mountain city, including the domestic city and the Wandu mountain city (the original name of Lieutenant Nayancheng). This is the capital of Koguryo in the early and middle period (A.D. 1-5 centuries), and it is also the capital that the Koguryo regime continued to use for the longest time.
7,000 Koguryo-era tombs are located in the Donggou Plain surrounded by mountains outside the King's City of Koguryo. Many beautiful murals with smooth lines, rich contents and legendary and mythical colors in the tombs are the characteristics of these ancient tombs. Although they have been more than a thousand years ago, they are still bright in color. Fourteen large Koguryo mausoleums and a large number of Royal noble Mural Tombs represented by General's Tomb and Taiwang Tomb in Donggou Group reflect the historical process of Koguryo from different aspects, and are also valuable cultural and artistic treasures left by Koguryo to mankind.
General grave
Among them, the general's tomb on the cliff at the foot of Longshan, 4 kilometers northeast of Ji'an City, is considered as the mausoleum of the twentieth generation King Longevity. It is similar to the tomb of the ancient Egyptian Pharaoh and is known as the "Oriental Pyramid". General's tomb is 31 meters long and 12 meters high. The tomb body is square and conical. There are seven steps. The tomb body is magnificent and its shape is bright and solemn. It epitomizes the height of Gaogouli's architectural skills and artistic achievements.
Tai King Mausoleum
The tomb path of the general's tomb faces the Taiwang Tomb not far away. On the east side of the tomb stands the King Jiaotai Monument, known as "the first monument in the East", which was built by the Longevity King in memory of the 19th Dynasty King Yongle. The stele is made of a huge square pillar stone, more than 6 meters high, with a total of 1775 inscriptions on all sides. Its font is between official script and regular script. Gaogouli is the longest written material preserved so far.
regime
The Koguryo regime began in 37 B.C. and ended in 668 A.D. and was once the most influential national regime in Northeast China. It has played an important role in the historical development of Northeast Asia. The Koguryo regime began in Huanren County, Liaoning Province, and moved its capital to the domestic city (Ji'an, Jilin Province today) in the third year of A.D. and then to Pyongyang in 427. Huan Ren and Ji'an are the political, cultural and economic centers of Gaogouli regime in the early and middle period. They totaled 465 years and are the most concentrated areas of Gaogouli's cultural heritage.
