Mausoleum of the Song Dynasty
The only Mausoleum of the Song Dynasty emperor is also the first batch of key cultural relics protection units in Shenzhen.
Brief introduction to the owner of the tomb
Song Shaodi, also known as the late Song Emperor, named Zhao Min (B ǐ ng), is the son of Zhao Min (Q í), Emperor duzong of the Song Dynasty, and one of the three emperors of the late Song Dynasty. Zhao has three sons. His second son, Zhao Xian, is his own son. His eldest son, Zhao Shi, and his third son, Zhao Min, are common sons.
Zhao Min was born in 1271, when Kublai Khan founded the Yuan Dynasty. Therefore, his birth was doomed to be a tragedy. In 1274, Du Zong died in drinking and sex. His four year old son, Zhao Xian, became emperor with the support of his treacherous minister Jia Sidao, known as emperor Gong of Song Dynasty. At that time, the song and Yuan Dynasties were at war, and the soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty had already drunk the Yangtze River.
In 1276, Lin'an (Hangzhou), the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, fell and Emperor Gong of the Song Dynasty was captured. The ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty escorted Zhao Shi and Zhao Min to flee to the south, and established Zhao Shi as emperor in Fuzhou, that is, duanzong of the Song Dynasty. The soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty pursued them, and the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty was forced to continue to flee to Guangdong. In 1278, when duanzong died, the ministers adopted 8-year-old Zhao Min as emperor and changed his name to Xiangxing. With Lu Xiufu as prime minister and Zhang Shijie as Taifu, they entered Yanshan, Xinhui, Guangdong Province, and continued to fight against the yuan army.
In the first month of the second year of Xiangxing (1279), the yuan army attacked Yashan, and the song and Yuan armies fought a decisive battle on the sea of Yashan in Xinhui, Guangdong Province. As a result, the song army led by Zhang Shijie was outnumbered and defeated at sea. On March 19, seeing that the situation was over, Lu Xiufu, wearing a royal robe, took the 8-year-old emperor Zhao Min to the bow of the boat, kowtowed and said, "your majesty will die for your country at this time. Emperor Deyou (emperor song Gong) has been humiliated. Your majesty can't humiliate him any more! " After that, he carried the little emperor on his back and jumped into the vast sea. At this point, the Southern Song Dynasty was completely destroyed.
Repair process
According to the genealogy of the Zhao family, Emperor min's yudie: "the remains float to Chiwan and are covered by birds. When the old monk of the ancient temple at the foot of the mountain visits the seaside, he suddenly sees the remains floating in the sea and are covered by birds. He tried to save the emperor. His face was as fresh as life, and his clothes were not like ordinary people. He knew that it was the remains of the emperor, but the ceremony was buried in the sun at the foot of the mountain. "
According to folklore, a child's corpse in yellow robes and dragon's clothes came to Chiwan beach at that time, but a pillar of the temple of Empress Dowager on Chiwan Beach (today's Museum of Empress Dowager in Chiwan) suddenly collapsed. Temple Zhu and squire parents quickly burned incense and asked divination. They learned that the child's corpse was the remains of the young emperor. The collapsed pillar was the material sent by Empress Dowager to make a coffin for the young emperor, so local people buried Zhao Minyu At the foot of Xiaonanshan to the west of Tianhou temple.
It is said that in 1911, descendants of the Zhao family in Hong Kong built the tomb of Shaodi, which was discovered by Chiwan garrison in 1963. At the beginning of 1984, the Zhao clan association of Hong Kong and the Shekou Industrial Zone Tourism Company donated more than 400000 Hong Kong dollars to repair and expand the mausoleum.
Status quo of Mausoleum
Song Shao emperor's mausoleum is far less grand than the general emperor's mausoleum, and the whole mausoleum is almost at a glance. The cemetery is adjacent to Xiaonanshan in the north and Lingdingyang in the south. In the center of the tomb is the tomb of the young emperor. A large stone tablet is erected in the center of the cemetery. Two pieces of auspicious dragon are carved on the top of the tombstone, and a sun relief is carved in the middle. Eight gold filled characters are engraved in the center of the tombstone: "Tomb of the young emperor Xiangqing of the great Song Dynasty" (it is said that "Xiangqing" should be the mistake of "Xiangxing", but in Cantonese, "Qing" and "Xing" have similar pronunciation). The small gold filled characters on the right and left lines are: "sitting in the mountain" There is a gold couplet on both sides of the couplet: "Huang descendants are worshipped in the Song Dynasty, and Chiwan is the imperial mausoleum of Gong.".
At the back of the monument is a graveyard with two curved walls. In the middle of the front section, the top is covered with Xiangyun gongyue, painted with vermilion. In the back section, the top is covered with double dragon gongri, with a Phoenix under it.
On the east side of the tomb, there is a Quanzhou white stone tablet. On the obverse side is the inscription of the tomb of Song Emperor min, which describes the life of song Shaodi, the process of Lu Xiufu's death to the sea and the construction of the tomb. The inscription is in the form of seal script, with an ancient style. It is written by the famous calligrapher Shang chengzuo. On the back of the stone tablet, there are eight big characters inscribed by the famous calligrapher Qin Yusheng: "yahai Qianlong, Chiwan Yandi".
On the west side of the mausoleum is a four meter high stone statue of Lu Xiufu who died for the emperor. Lu Xiufu, the national hero, is awe inspiring and upright with his young master on his back. Perhaps it was Lu Xiufu's national integrity that inspired people to pay homage from time to time. In front of the mausoleum of the young emperor, in front of the statue of Lu Xiufu, there are a lot of rich sacrifices, lingering around the curl of cigarettes
