Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

After inspecting the Zhidao, Chidao and the Great Wall in Shangjun, which are still under construction, Qingji went to the ruins of Wuyang Wuchou to offer sacrifices to the Yellow Emperor!

Where is Wu Yang?
Yan'an!

This place is connected to Yulin in the north, Xianyang in Guanzhong in the south, Linfen and Luliang in Weidi across the east, and Qingyang in the west.

It is said that after the death of the Yellow Emperor, the body was buried in Qiaoshan in Wuyang.

However, at this time it is not the "Yellow Emperor Mausoleum", but "Wuyang Wuchou"...

"畤" refers to the place where the ancient Chinese emperors specially used to sacrifice to the god of heaven, and it means that the god has stopped here.

In the Yin and Shang Dynasties, "畤" was abolished.

However, before the Qin people started to build "畤" and sacrifice activities in "Chou".

It is said that after Qin Xianggong became a vassal, he believed that the Qin family could grow from a horse official to a prominent vassal, in addition to his own contribution to herding horses, he also had the blessing of the gods of the emperor of heaven.

In order to thank God, he decided to imitate the ancient emperors and build "Zi" for sacrifice.

Therefore, Qin Xianggong built "Xiyu" in the south of the fief to worship the Baidi (Shaohao).

In the third year after Qin Wengong succeeded to the throne, he moved the capital to Siwei through divination. In the tenth year, he followed the example of Qin Xianggong and built "鄜畤" in the northeast of the capital, and also worshiped Baidi.

During Qin Xuangong's time, "Mijiu" was built in Weinan, where Emperor Qing was enshrined...

"To be a human being, you cannot count your ancestors and forget your classics."

"The widow attaches great importance to the temple and worships it. Today's sacrifices to God and the gods of mountains and rivers are worshiped according to the rituals of the temple at that time."

At the foot of Qiaoshan, Qingji looked at the ministers present and said earnestly: "The honor of the emperor belongs to the Yellow Emperor, but most of the '畤' built by the ancestors were dedicated to the White Emperor, and the '畤' of the Yellow Emperor should be built. .”

"Wu Qi."

"My son is here!"

"You are the governor of Shangjun. You should build Shangzhou on the ruined site of Wuyang Wuyu built by the ancient Yellow Emperor to worship the Yellow Emperor, and then build the Xiayu to worship the White Emperor. In addition, build another Xuanyuan Temple for future generations to worship the Yellow Emperor."

"promise!"

Young Master Qi agreed immediately.

Qingji did what Qin Linggong did in history.

Now, the state of Qin has been destroyed by Qing Ji, so where is Qin Linggong?
The Yellow Emperor is the ancestor of China, and Qingji respects him, so it is appropriate to offer sacrifices and repair his mausoleum for the world and those who come after him to pay their respects.

After the Yellow Emperor and Emperor Yan defeated Chi You, the leader of the Chinese tribal alliance became the co-lord of the world, which brought the Chinese nation from the barbaric era to the civilized era.

The great achievements of the Yellow Emperor are naturally admired and worshiped by later generations.

Therefore, after the death of the Yellow Emperor, in order to express their nostalgia for the first ancestor of the humanities, people set up a tomb in Qiaoshan as a mausoleum and set up a temple to worship.

In the thousands of years after the death of the Yellow Emperor, the activities of offering sacrifices to the Yellow Emperor have never been interrupted.

From Yu, Xia, Shang, and Zhou to Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing.

Except that in some periods of time, the Yellow Emperor is worshiped as a god and an emperor at the same time, the Yellow Emperor is worshiped as an ancestor without exception...

"Your Majesty."

Yushi Zhongcheng Boshun stood up with a flattering expression on his face and said: "I think that the upper domain of Wuyang can be changed to a mausoleum, called 'Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum'. Your Majesty can stipulate that from now on, all the tombs of King Wu will be the same. It is called a 'mausoleum', and the graves of ministers or common people are called 'tombs'."

"There must be a temple next to the Mausoleum of King Wu."

"..."

Is this appropriate?

Bo Tong clearly elevated Qingji and Wu's successor to the same status as Huangdi.

Of course, if future generations do not admit it, no matter how luxurious and majestic the mausoleum is, if no one worships it, it will be impossible to compare it with the Yellow Emperor.

"My minister agrees!"

All the ministers agreed.

"good."

The major events of the country lie in Rong and Si.

The importance of sacrifice is self-evident.

Accompanied by his ministers, Qingji visited Qiaoshan Mountain again, feeling refreshed and happy.

From west to east, the Juhe River passes around the bridge mountain in a U shape. Standing on the mountain and looking down, there is a river in the east and a river in the west, just like water passing through the bottom of the mountain, so the mountain is named Qiaoshan.

Qiaoshan was the residence of the Youshi family in ancient times, and it was called Hushan.

In the time of the Yellow Emperor, it was called "Xuanyuan Hill" or "Xuanyuan Terrace", so the Yellow Emperor got the name "Xuanyuan".

"From the perspective of a few people, this bridge mountain has dragon aura, can it be a dragon vein?"

Qingji set his sights on Fan Li.

Fan Li pondered for a while, then lowered his head and replied: "My lord, this Qiaoshan Mountain is my ancestral land in China, so it naturally has a dragon spirit. The main ridge of Qiaoshan Mountain to the tomb of the Yellow Emperor forms a connecting line with the peak of Yintai Mountain. This line runs from northwest to southeast."

"According to the theory of Feng Shui, the bridge and the sky are tilted to the northwest, and the land is not to the southeast..."

"good."

Qingji nodded slightly.

He didn't mind Qiaoshan's dragon spirit.

However, this made the following officials sweat secretly.

What if Qingji can't think about it and thinks that there will be someone who threatens the country of Wu in Qiaoshan?

Qingji is not the Zhu Yuanzhang in history.

Having said that, according to unofficial records, Zhu Yuanzhang once sent Liu Bowen to cut off dragon veins everywhere, just to prevent his Daming country from being usurped...

When Qin Shihuang was touring the south of the Yangtze River, he also thought that the terrain of Jinling had the spirit of a king's city, so he dug up Liangang and changed its name to Moling.

However, the theory of Feng Shui is a mysterious thing after all.

You must know that the sitting orientation of this mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor is different from the north and south (sitting north facing south) or Zhengxi Zhengdong (sitting west facing east) of later emperors, but according to geography, with its back facing northwest and facing southeast , It is completely consistent with the trend of Qiaoshan, Ziwuling and Kunlun Mountain, which is known as the dragon vein.

The Mausoleum of King Wu built by Qingjiwei himself is basically arranged according to this orientation.

……

The next day, Qingji officially offered sacrifices to Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor in Qiaoshan.

"...Wu Sijun celebrated his taboo and dared to declare to Huangdi Xuanyuan's family: I will be born as a king in the temple."

"When there is a week that is out of control and the world is divided, it is time to take advantage of the chaos of the heroes and gather the crowd to use force. The emperor of the lotus and the queen of the earth are blessed, and I will expand the territory and dominate the common people with a country of ten thousand chariots."

"The king was born in ancient times, followed the heavens and set up the pole, became a democracy, and made great achievements and virtues, and he has practiced the law to this day."

"I am worshiping the gods, and the mausoleum of the emperor is here, but it is very far away from last year; according to the classics, although I admire it deeply, but I am born with stupidity, there are ancient and modern, and the folk customs are also different."

"Looking up to the Holy Spirit, the law of all ages, the special official lays sacrifices and repairs the tomb. The Holy Spirit is not ignorant, and its lessons are appreciated! Enjoy!"

An eloquent sacrificial oration, Qingji read it out on the altar.

After that, the whole process is very cumbersome.

It is nothing more than finding a group of musicians and witches to sing the praises of the Yellow Emperor, singing folk songs from ancient times, and jumping around at the same time, making people half understand...

After finishing the trip to Qiaoshan, Qingji's patrol team was preparing to go to Longxi County for inspection.

Unexpectedly, at this time, there was a sudden news that the frontier was urgent and the Yuezhi people were invading from Shangjun.
