Where is Yue Fei buried?

Everyone in Lin 'an, the capital of China, is in tears. "When people in the city heard about it, some people shed tears" ("Three Dynasties and North Alliance", volume 207). Today, tourists come to the tomb of Yue Fei in Qixialing, Hangzhou, to pay tribute to this patriotic general in the12nd century. They can't help but have mixed feelings and bow deeply to this famous national hero. However, whether there really is the remains of Yue Fei in this tomb has always been a controversial issue in history. In folklore, Hangzhou Zhong 'an Qiaoxia 17 is considered as Yue Fei's burial place. This place is a relatively prosperous place in Lin 'an City in the Southern Song Dynasty, close to the Imperial Street. In the 13th year of Daoguang reign (A.D. 1833), Governor Wu of Hangzhou officially confirmed this place as the burial place of Yue Fei. And raised a lot of silver, built Yue Fei Tomb and Yue Fei Temple, and published Yue Zhongwu's Chu Wangzhi, which had a great influence at that time.

According to some written records, Yue Fei was buried in Beishan near Jiuqu Congci in Hangzhou, which is the area north of Zhaoqing Temple in Hangzhou today. At that time, "flying to death in prison, beheading" ("Three Dynasties North Alliance" volume 207), the jailer took out his body and crossed the city to the Jiuqu Congci. Up to now, Jiuqu Wang Xian Temple still has spirituality. Buried in the north of the mountain "("the legacy of the ruling and opposition "). It is said that when Shu Shun died, he said, "His son said: If the court wants something but doesn't get it, it will be rewarded by the official. You told me that there was a lead urn on the coffin and a thorn temple (Dali Temple) with a musical word on it, and I buried the burial symbol. " The consequences will be bought off ... his son is almost on the stage, and the official knows what he said, and his body color is like life, and he can still make up a few more dresses. "Others, such as Chronicle of Jingzhong Temple in Tangyin published in the tenth year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty, Chronicle of West Lake Visited in Jiajing Period, and Chronicle of Qiantang County compiled by Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, all adopt this theory. Judging from the situation at that time, Dali Temple was located in Qiantang Gate, and "Qiantang Gate is along the north of the city, the old Jiuqu City" (The Journey to the West), and Wang Xian Temple was built at the foot of Jiuqu City outside Qiantang Gate, which was built by Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty (according to "Xian Chun Lin An Zhi", volume 73).

The jailer Kun Shun may carry Yue Fei's body across the city to Wang Xian Temple near Qiantangmen.

As for the tomb of Yuefei in Qixialing seen today, it is hard to say whether it is a fake tomb or not. We know that after Yue Fei was killed, people have been asking for his rehabilitation, but Song Gaozong has been ignoring it. When Song Xiaozong ascended the throne, he pretended to be "Yang Cheng" and "Yi Sheng" to restore Yue Fei's rank and reputation, and to safeguard the dignity of the emperor's father. At this time, it has been 2 1 year since Yue Fei was killed. Volume 14 of Jin Tuo's sequel contains Lin Yuebiao, the son of Xie Yuefei in the sixth year of Xi Chun (A.D. 1 179), in which it is said that "Yue Fei was buried alone and his bones were buried under the grave". In ancient China, Shao Shi, Shaofu and Shaobao were called "three orphans". In the tenth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei was specially appointed as Shaobao by the court, so Yue Lin called it "being buried as an orphan". It says, "orange bones rise under the grave." If the record is correct, there is no doubt that Yue Fei's body will be reburied in Qixialing (then called "Jianmenling of West Lake Gaitai Mountain").
