Brief introduction of Yuncheng Shundi Mausoleum

Its geographical environment can be described as magnificent. Shun, surnamed Yao and named Zhong Hua, was named after Shun because his ancestors sealed him in (now yongji city is in the countryside). Shun is the legendary leader of the tribal alliance in the late China clan society. Legend has it that Shun lost his mother when he was young, and was often abused by his stepmother and beaten by his father. But he is famous for his filial piety. After April's recommendation, Yao named him Regent and married his daughter and son to Shun respectively. Shun recommended talented people, and sixteen people, who were famous for their "Eight Openings" and "Eight Yuan", assisted Emperor Yao, and eliminated the villains such as guns, workers, zygomatic pockets and three seedlings, so that the world was ruled. After Yao's death, Shun ascended the throne, consulted Sishan, selected sages and governed civil affairs. In particular, Yu was ordered to control water disasters and make the people live and work in peace and contentment. Therefore, it is supported by all ethnic groups. Buried in Mingtiaogang after death.

Shun Di Mausoleum was built in the 26th year of Kaiyuan in Tang Dynasty (738) and was destroyed by the war at the end of Yuan Dynasty. Villagers rebuilt in the early Ming Dynasty (1506). However, it was destroyed in the earthquake in the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1555). In the thirty-first year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1603), Anyi County ordered Wu Yu to rebuild. Twenty years after Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (18 15), it was a piece of rubble again, leaving only the main hall. The following year, Shun Temple was rebuilt under the advocacy of fellow villager Wang Buzhou. Shunling faces south, covering an area of 70 mu, with Shinto 13 mu and incense 17 mu. Along the slope of the site of Shunling Outer City, there is a Shinto, with couples standing on both sides. After more than a hundred steps, I saw a square brick tomb, 3 meters high and 5 1 meter in circumference. There is a stone tablet inscribed by Xing Qiren in front of the tomb, and there is a 1 stone tablet beside the tomb. On the tomb, the trees are interlaced and lush. About 30 meters north of the mausoleum is the imperial city, also known as Lecheng. Entering the gate of the archway, the central axis is the theater, the rolling shed, the sacrificial hall, the main hall and the bedroom, and the porch room and the second floor of the bell and drum are arranged on both sides. The structural layout is rigorous and symmetrical. The main building, namely the main hall, is built on the platform, with double eaves and five arches, five rooms wide and five rafters deep. The clay statue of Shun Di in the temple, wearing a crown and clothes, is solemn and lifelike.

Behind the main hall, the original three-bedroom building with statues of E Huang and Nv Ying was destroyed by the war. In the southeast of Mausoleum Temple, Dayun Temple was built in the old days, where monks guarding Mausoleum lived. Also known as "Huling Temple", it was demolished at the beginning of liberation. Shundi Mausoleum is a provincial key cultural relics protection unit.
