According to historical records, the "Lanting Preface" in the posthumous edict of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty said that it was to be placed under his head. In other words, "Lanting Preface" should be in Zhaoling, not Qianling. However, Wen Tao, the governor of Yaozhou during the Five Dynasties, had Zhaoling stolen. In the list of unearthed treasures he wrote, there was no "Lanting Preface". Therefore, there is speculation that the "Lanting Preface" was hidden in Qianling. Moreover, among the folk rumors around the Qianling Mausoleum, there has long been a theory that Wu Zetian was buried with him in the "Lanting Preface". Expert opinion: Paper products are difficult to preserve. Liu Xiangyang, director of the business department of the Qianling Museum, said in an interview with reporters that whether the "Lanting Preface" is in the Qianling Mausoleum is currently just a speculation made by some scholars, and there is no conclusion yet. When Liu Qingzhu accepted a question from a Sina netizen about whether the "Lanting Preface" was in the Qianling Mausoleum, he said that the speculation that the "Lanting Preface" was in the Qianling Mausoleum was just a good wish. History also has records in this regard, such as the funerary objects in the Zhaoling Mausoleum of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. There are some calligraphy works in it. Where is the "Lanting Preface" that has disappeared for more than a thousand years? Do people still have a chance to see its true appearance? Liu Qingzhu said not to be too optimistic about this. He personally believes that according to what was said at the time, calligraphy works were mainly made of paper, rather than bamboo slips. There are no Tang Dynasty tombs that can preserve paper products. Under the climatic conditions of the Guanzhong area, thousands or thousands of ancient tombs have been excavated, including those from the Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, or more than a thousand years ago, and none of the papers in the tombs can be well preserved. The finer the paper, the more difficult it is to preserve. Puzzle 4::: The internal structure of the Qianling Mausoleum has not yet been discovered. Located 80 kilometers northwest of Xi'an, the Qianling Mausoleum is where Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, and Wu Zetian, the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, are buried. It is the only tomb in my country where the two emperors are buried together. It is also the only tomb of a Tang Dynasty emperor known to have never been robbed, and is known as the "Crown of Tang Tombs". This kind of situation of "two emperors, two country names, and a couple buried in one mausoleum" is rare in the world. The cultural relics such as stone watches, stone horses, stone figures, and wordless tablets on the ground are very spectacular. Talking about the ancient Egyptian pyramids in 3000 BC, the inscription reads: "The great and immortal Pharaoh watched the magnificent sky, sunrise and stars here. The great and immortal Pharaoh was with the heaven and the earth." ----Magnificent! The imagination and courage of the ancient Egyptians and the Pharaohs who owned the pyramids were so great! Let’s talk about the Qianling Mausoleum. It is located 6 kilometers north of Qianxian County and 80 kilometers away from Xi’an City. It is the joint burial mausoleum of Tang Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi and Queen Wu Zetian. It is called Qianling Mausoleum because it is located in the northwest of Chang’an and in the Bagua Qian position. Since Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, many emperors of the Tang Dynasty used mountains as their mausoleums, with Qianling Mausoleum being the most typical one. The number of stone statues in the Qianling Mausoleum, the length of the sacred path, the size of the mausoleum and the vast area of ??the mausoleum are all unmatched by the imperial mausoleums of the previous dynasties. Qianling Mausoleum was built on Liangshan Mountain. The Qianling Mausoleum is conical in shape with the mountain as its mausoleum. It uses the main peak (north peak) of Liangshan Mountain and the two southern peaks as the skeleton of the layout. The North Peak is 1047.6 meters above sea level and is conical in shape. It is the location of the tomb. The two peaks in the south face each other from east to west, forming the natural gateway of the cemetery. Parking lot location: 790 meters above sea level (just GPS data, not the 1956 Yellow Sea elevation system. But it seems that many Chinese regard the American GPS standard as the legal elevation system). In this way, the earth and stone seal of the mausoleum is at least 200 meters high. The entire cemetery covers a radius of 40 kilometers, and there are 17 tombs of princes and nobles surrounding it. The numerous stone elephants and the tall mountain on the north peak of Liangshan Mountain together constitute the majestic momentum of Qianling Mausoleum. After the war, only stone inscriptions remain.
