places of historic interest and scenic beauty

Tanghe Tomb Tanghe Tomb is located in Cao Shan, the eastern suburb of Bengbu City. Tanghe, a native of Fengyang, is a friend of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor. At the end of Yuan Dynasty, he rebelled against Zhu, made meritorious military service and became a loyal minister. After his death, he named Dongou Township the King of Wu. The mausoleum faces the river and backs on Cao Fengshan, and the mountains and rivers complement each other. The tomb is a large-scale masonry building built on the mountain. It's 3 o'clock. The three stones are 6 meters high and 6 meters wide and cover an area of about 40 square meters. Shen Dao in the south of the tomb is 225 meters long, with large tombstones and stone carvings of horses, sheep, lions and warriors. The carving lines are smooth and rough, and contemporary ancient architects think this is a fine stone carving in the early Ming Dynasty. It has been incorporated into Longhu Park in Bengbu City.

1395, the founding general Tang He died of illness in Fengyang, Anhui. After the death of Tang He, Zhu Yuanzhang named him the King of Dongou and buried him at the southern foot of Cao Shan on the south bank of Longhu Lake in Bengbu, Anhui.

Today's Tanghe Tomb Cemetery is solemn and cool. As the hero of sealing the king, Tang and the tomb rules enjoyed the highest specifications of the Ming Dynasty ministers. At the southernmost tip of Shinto in front of the tomb, stands a tombstone with a height of 6.35 meters. However, it is puzzling that thousands of inscriptions originally carved on stone tablets have been chiseled out word by word. As for who did it and when, it is still inconclusive. According to insiders, the author of the inscription, Fang Xiaoru, was a highly regarded academician when Wen was in office. In May of Wen Jian's fourth year, Judy, the prince of Yan, invaded Nanjing and ordered him to draft an imperial edict. He threw a pen on the ground and refused to accept the order. Judy threatened to destroy the nine clans, and he replied, "Even if we destroy the ten clans, it won't be chaotic!" As a result, he was killed. In addition to exterminating the nine clans, they also killed their own students and became ten clans, involving more than 870 people. It is clearly recorded in Biography of the Ming Dynasty: "In Yongle, Tibetan filial piety and Confucianism died." Therefore, the inscription written by Fang Xiaoru in those years should also be chiseled off ... and this sentence, which is widely circulated among local people, was written by the rebels in Li Zicheng in the late Ming Dynasty. At that time, the surrounding area of Tanghe Tomb belonged to Fengyang County, which was frequently destroyed by rebels in Li Zicheng, and the Ming Tombstones around Tanghe Tomb also had similar inscriptions. At the end of the 225-meter-long Shinto, there is the Tang and tomb. Today, people see the main hall of Xiangtang, which is a three-bay, wooden structure and imitation Song building lying by the mountain. The tomb of Tanghe is the tomb of Amin Dynasty. Why did the architectural style of Xiangtang come from Song Dynasty? It turns out that before 1973 cultural relics workers carried out archaeological excavation on the tomb of Tanghe, all the ground buildings here had already disappeared. In the case of unsuccessful literature retrieval, archaeologists cleaned up and excavated some building materials from the original xiang tang site. After repeated argumentation, experts believe that it is difficult to form a unique architectural model because of the short ruling time of the Yuan Dynasty and the annual battle. Therefore, the architectural modeling and structural characteristics in the early Ming Dynasty still followed the Song Dynasty style. To the south of xiang tang is the tomb of Tang He. Today, people can descend from the entrance to the grave in the hall and enter the grave.

Tanghe Tomb is a large single masonry structure, which is divided into two rooms. The tomb is built by chiseling mountains as a whole, and exposed rocks can be seen on both sides of the arch in the front room. According to experts' research, Tang He's tomb was stolen at least twice in history. 1973165438+1October, when the cultural relics excavated the tomb, the smashed ceramic fragments in the huge masonry tomb could be seen everywhere. Although hundreds of exquisite cultural relics have been cleaned up, they are all small pieces. To the surprise of archaeologists, it is fortunate that such a large blue and white porcelain jar with a lid is intact and not stolen. This blue-and-white porcelain with double animal ears in Yuan Dynasty is a national treasure, and it is an important material for studying blue-and-white works in Yuan and Ming Dynasties. History has passed for hundreds of years. Songtao, an ancient tomb in this cemetery, is now one of the "Eight Scenes of Longhu" in Bengbu City.
