2. Zhaoling is the burial tomb of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin and Empress Wende. It is located in Liquan County, Shaanxi Province. The "Six Horses of Zhaoling" are six relief stone carvings originally placed in the corridors on both sides of the altar at the northern foot of Zhaoling, which was established in the tenth year of Zhenguan (636). The prototype of these six steeds is Li Shimin's favorite six steeds before his death, which he rode when he assisted his father, Gao Zu Li Yuan, to pacify the four seas and establish the country. Such as the "fist hair" that you took when you tied Liu Heita? ; "Shiva Chi" when Wang Shichong and Dou Jiande were tied; The "white hoof" that Xue Rengao rode when he was flat; The "Teller" that was taken when Song Jingang was tied; The "Qing Xiang" he rode when he tied Dou Jiande. Among the six Jun's, the only accompanying figure relief is "the dew is purple". According to historical records, this man is the general Qiu Hanggong. In 62 AD, Li Shimin and Wang Shichong fought in Mangshan, Luoyang, and Qiu Hanggong defended his life to the death. In recognition of his meritorious service, Li Shimin ordered him to be engraved on the slate together. In fact, every war horse is a symbol of important historical events in the Tang Dynasty. We can find relevant historical records in the historical materials such as Quan Tang Wen, New Tang Shu or Old Tang Shu. According to the textual research of Professor Ge Chengyong, a modern scholar, these six horses are all ponies of western domain.
In those days, Li Shimin wrote six poems (that is, "Six Horses Praise") in person, praising the elegance of each horse, and ordered Ou Yangxun, a great calligrapher, to copy them and engrave them next to the Six Horses. These six stone carvings and calligraphy works stand in front of the mausoleum as funerals, which is of milestone commemorative significance and reminds his ministers and people not to forget the hard times in the past.
in p>1914, the dew was purple and the fist was hairy? The two generals have lost their lives overseas and are now in the Museum of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, USA. The other four Jun were first moved to shanxi library, and then moved to Xi 'an Beilin Museum in 195. In 1996, the National Cultural Heritage Administration expert group identified it as a "national treasure cultural relic".
