The tomb of Wang Jian, the former emperor of Shu five dynasties ago, was called "Yongling" in history and was built in the first year of Shu Guang the day before yesterday (9 18). Wang Jian (847 ~ 9 18) was born in Wuyang county, Henan province. He was a general in the Tang Dynasty in his early years. During the war in the late Tang Dynasty, he fled to Sichuan with Tang Xizong, and later served as a stabbing officer in Lizhou (now Guangyuan City). The demise of the Tang Dynasty in 907 began the history of five dynasties and ten countries. Wang Jiansui occupied Chengdu as an emperor, with the title of Great Shu, which was called Qian Shu in history. Wang Jian's mausoleum is circular, with a height of 15m and a diameter of more than 80m. Covers an area of 6.8 mu. The locals mistakenly thought that this was Zhuge Liang's violin table, so it became a local place name. After the Song Dynasty, it became more and more barren and out of sight. It was not until 1942 that Wang Jian's tomb was discovered. Jade belts, funeral books, suicide notes, legacy treasures, various silverware, iron pigs, iron cows and so on were unearthed in the tomb. The unearthed jade funeral book is the basis for determining the owner of the tomb. The first year of Baoda in the Five Dynasties (Southern Tang Dynasty) (AD 943)

Li Yang's memorial book was unearthed in Niushou Mountain in the southern suburb of Nanjing in 1950. The funeral books are blue-gray jade, complete 13 pieces, and 30 pieces are incomplete. The funeral book was engraved with gold words, and the gold of many words had fallen off. It can be concluded from the incomplete funeral sentence that it is the jade book of Li Yang, a martyr in the Southern Tang Dynasty. The font of the funeral book is regular script, and the calligraphy is rich and round, which has the style of the Six Dynasties. Chu Suiliang's Mourning Book for Emperor Wendi of Tang Dynasty
