Chen Hu Cemetery is now a tourist attraction, and many people named Chen go there to pay their respects during holidays.
Let me put it boldly, it is very possible that... I am wrong.
An ironclad proof. The bamboo slips unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb record that Shun was buried in Jiuyi Mountain after his death. Jiuyi Mountain is in Ningyuan County, Hunan, very close to Dao County.
If you have local friends, you can take a look.
In the summer, standing on the small slope beside the Gui Zailing pond and looking north, it looks like the orientation of those Gui Zai stone sculptures.
Just in time, you can see the highest point of Jiuyi Mountain.
This is certainly no coincidence.
This is because if the Human Cemetery had moved thousands of miles from the water to this place, the descendants of Emperor Shun would have been buried here, and they could have looked at their ancestors and stayed by their side.
Baotou kept hesitating because there was something he didn't understand, but later I figured it out.
That is, there were two Chen states in history, one was the Chen state in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the other was the Chen state in the Five Dynasties period. Hu Manggong Guiman was the monarch of the Chen state in the Spring and Autumn Period. His descendants surnamed Chen had not heard of migration at that time.
Those who come to Hunan are basically in the north, and Dao County was not part of the Chen Kingdom's territory in ancient times.
Most people in Tianguangdong Village have the surname Tang, but a few people have the surname Chen. There are about twenty or thirty people in total.
If you want to know more, I suggest you look for that video online. In the early years when Geography China was filming The Mystery of Guizailing, they accidentally interviewed a family named Chen from Tianguangdong Village, and they took out a genealogy from their home.
The first name in the family tree is "Shun".
At that time, some experts said that your genealogy was fake and untrue. They analyzed it and said why it was impossible.
The dozen or so villagers surnamed Chen were not very educated and had no idea when their ancestors came here. They were very sad when they heard that their genealogy was not true.
Due to the long time span, it is impossible to find out some things, but I am sure that the genealogy they took out at that time must be true.
As for why this group of people stayed in Tianguangdong Village, I speculate that it has something to do with their profession.
I lived in Tianguangdong Village and learned that the ancestors of this group of people named Chen were stonemasons for several generations. Some very old chisels and hammers were also passed down from their homes, so I guessed that the ancestors of this group of people were the original ghosts.
Zailing, part of the stone carving craftsmen.
Maybe there were a lot of people a long time ago, and most of them died in the quarry area under the banyan cave.
The stone toilets and those bones we saw must be them.
After a few stonemasons escaped, they kept this secret in their hearts because of fear, and no one dared to tell it.
Just like this, hundreds of thousands of years later, until now, the names of the dozens of villages with the surname Chen in Tianguangdong are unknown. They don't know anything.
....
Brother Yu took a breath of cold air and asked: "Head, let me put it this way, the mural of the small underwater house we saw just now..."
"yes."
He coughed and said: "The underwater house is the iron tomb of Chen Hugong. It is at the bottom of Huaiyang Lake in Henan. The mural in the middle was damaged by moisture. If it is still there, let's look at it together. It should be a record of the tomb relocation event."
of murals.”
Xiaoxuan asked, who painted the mural? This is what I want to ask too.
The headmaster said: "The mural was painted in the early Qing Dynasty, probably during the period of Shunzhi and Kangxi. Who painted it specifically... Because there is no signature, and there is a lack of evidence, I don't know yet, but sooner or later we will find out."
"Phew, it's burned to death!"
Dou Sprout was so absorbed in listening that he was very close to the candle and didn't pay attention, so he was burned by the flames.
Dou Yazi blew his hands and said excitedly: "Boss, are there a lot of burial bronzes from the Warring States Period here? Then we are going to distribute them again!"
He sighed and said: "From a Feng Shui perspective, it is unfavorable for a person to be buried in a damp place after death, but when Gong Mangong built an iron tomb, sunk it to the bottom of the lake, and used such powerful anti-theft measures, it is enough to show that he did not want to be disturbed.
.”
After hearing this, my eyelids twitched, and I frowned and asked, "Boss, according to you, there are very powerful anti-theft measures here?"
