? Zhaojun's Tomb is the historical witness of the reconciliation between Hu and Han, and also one of the few places in China where part of the history of Xiongnu is recorded.?
? Zhaojun's Tomb, also known as the "Green Mound", called Temur Ursun in Mongolian, meaning "Iron Base", was built in the Western Han Dynasty in BC, more than 2,000 years ago, and is now a key cultural relics protection unit of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. Zhaojun Cemetery is located in Inner Mongolia Hohhot City, 9 kilometers south of the southern suburbs of the south bank of the Dahei River, from Hohhot City, about 20 minutes by car to reach.
? Since I was a child, I have heard the story of Wang Zhaojun, one of the four great beauties, and this time I was very happy to pay a visit to her tomb. Spend 65 yuan to buy a ticket, the back of the ticket is this introduction: Wang Zhaojun, the name of the court, the word Zhaojun, later known as Zhaojun or Mingfei, the Western Han Dynasty South County Zigui people (now Xingshan County, Hubei Province), and later for the Emperor Yuan of Han Dynasty's harem of the pending. In 33 B.C., in the Han-Hungarian people of the two ethnic groups urgently request national reconciliation situation, the Xiongnu Hu Hanxie monarch into the dynasty to seek peace, Wang Zhaojun voluntarily asked to be married to the Xiongnu, for the Han-Hungarian peace and friendship between the two ethnic groups made an important contribution to the cause of peace and friendship.
? We walked into the Zhaojun Museum, into the eyes is a three-meter-high Zhaojun alabaster statue, white, jade eyes overflowing color, standing in front of the eyes, before a monument engraved with a poem by Mr. Dong Biwu: "Zhaojun has a thousand years in the Han-Hungarian peace and see the high knowledge. Wordsmiths always express their feelings of resentment, dancing in vain." In 33 BC, three times invited to marry the South Xiongnu monarch Hohan Xie finally married in Chang'an City, Emperor Yuan of the Han dynasty princess "Ning Hu Xiongnu" Wang Qiang, line to Hohhot area to stay half a year, the end of the Xiongnu and the Han and the end of the harmony, which has become a source of writers and artists Shu Huai smooth thinking.
Along the road ahead, but see a huge four columns of three stone proudly stood, the former Vice President Ulanhu inscription on the top of the plaque "Green Mound" two words strong and majestic, look at the tomb is tall, cypresses, hidden in the distance, there are pine waves, the Divine Path on both sides of the stone carving of tigers, deer, cows and sheep are divided into two compartments, and then go forward to the single Yu and Zhaojun and the horse with the reins of the bronze statue standing, Shan Yu account, the Hun Museum, Zhaojun hometown, the dynasties of celebrities monumental forest patchwork, so that people from the world's boring environment into the dusty past, that seems to be frozen like a corridor of the history of a dozen centuries ago.
? For the country and the death of princes and generals can be monumental, while the masses of people are prostrate in the decision-makers under the long policy, can not do anything to survive. Zhaojun's marriage to the submissive Southern Xiongnu was a disgrace in the eyes of later generations of bloodthirsty men, for whom the use of a woman as an emissary of peace was not a honorable act after all. However, as Emperor Yuan of Han Dynasty was also one of the few wise kings of Han Dynasty, he still tie up South Xiongnu for more than one hundred years with the tie-up policy, making it a solid Great Wall of Flesh and Blood in the north of Han Dynasty, which was a natural barrier that was difficult to be crossed by any barbarians. It is the Han Dynasty and the South Xiongnu join hands, completely defeated the North Xiongnu, make it far away from the Eastern Europe, completely eradicated the Han Dynasty northern border trouble.
Walking to the side of the green mound, the blue body of the tomb is full of peace and gravity, as if the illusion of a spirit of the sky, interpreted to the world of the Han's enlightenment, Xiongnu's might, and the great strategy of peace. Peace is always wiser than war, and to speak lightly of war is not a thing that produces happiness, unless it is absolutely necessary. Naturally, I recalled the words of historian Jian Bozan: "The majestic plans of Han Wu are recorded in history, and the Great Wall is a beacon for thousands of miles. The first time I saw this was when I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley, and I was a student at the University of California, Berkeley.
Entering the garden from the right side gate, you will pass through the "Green Mound Pai Lou" and step into the sacred path in front of the tomb. The cemetery covers an area of nearly 100 acres, the garden of pine green willow show, pleasant scenery. The sacred path is wide and flat, and there are stone statues on both sides, including cows, goats, horses, camels, deer and so on. They are symmetrically arranged, face to face, majestic and vivid, with guardianship, warding off evil spirits, good luck, the symbol of servitude. These common animal images in the north, extremely rich in life. Statues carved from boulders, exaggerated modeling, craftsmanship, antiquity in the aura. Elegant stone elephant life not only reflects the traditional rituals of Han Dynasty tombs, but also expresses the national characteristics of the northern region.
On both sides of the sacred path, flower gardens embraced, beautiful flowers, as if the landing of the brocade. Walked to the front of the tomb I just looked up, suddenly heard someone shout: "so tall a tomb ah!" Seeing the introduction, I learned that the tomb is 33 meters high, the bottom area of 13,000 square meters, was built in the Western Han Dynasty BC, is artificial rammed by the Han Dynasty. The body of the tomb is shaped like an overlaying bucket, is one of the largest Han tombs in China, because it is covered with grass, as green as Rhine, so there is a "green mound," as the name. Green mound, towering and spectacular, from afar, revealing a diaphanous haze, if splashed with ink charming scenery, historically known as the literati, "Qingmeng embraces the diaphanous", one of the eight major landscapes in Hohhot. Many foreigners visit the tourists, although it can not be said that the sea of people, but it is also really than shoulder to shoulder, the tourists like weaving.
? We followed the tourists from the right side of the stairs, to the top of the tomb looked like a big square. There is a pavilion in the field, people flocked to the pavilion, there are many people outside the pavilion looking around , lifting his eyes to the north, cloudy, thousands of miles of Yinshan horizontal color; look down at the bottom of the eye, the strata, ten thousand miles of good land such as green felt. We look far and wide, we do feel that stand high, see far, open-minded. Seeing the grasslands of white sheep, cattle, horses, camels, suddenly remembered a few lines of poetry learned in middle school: "The sky is pale, the wild, the wind blows the grass low to see the cattle and sheep." Blue sky, white clouds, boundless prairie, vast desert, happy and harmonious people and animals, so that I have a sense of the vastness of the motherland. The scenery of the northern part of the world is unique, weekdays in the rows and rows of buildings is not to see this scene.
? We descended from the left side of the tomb, see the left side and the right side of the same: green shade, winding paths. Behind the tomb is more beautiful, there are historical relics, calligraphy and painting art gallery, and imitation of the Han Que, double pavilion, Niangniang Palace, yurt, wine and flower gallery, Zhaojun spring and other human landscapes, set the ancient and modern culture, north and south style in a garden, the feelings of the quiet, the beauty of the scenery,
