It's sad to say that although Yongling can be considered a cultural relic protection unit, its status is not as good as that of Wangcong Temple before the upgrade. Now it is really dilapidated.

Can you believe that those fish ponds are actually income-generating projects of Yongling?!

The mausoleum area is enclosed by a low wall, with a small door at the entrance, several small brick houses, and a small boiler room.

Rather than being a cultural relic protection worker, it is better to say that he is a tomb keeper;

Rather than being a tomb keeper, it is better to say that he is an old fish pond keeper who serves fishermen with tea, water and lunch boxes.

Zhou Zhi was stunned: "This is Yongling? Isn't it the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units announced by the State Council?"

"Yes, it's well protected." Gu Zhenduo didn't know if he was teasing Zhou Zhimenzi: "What is the best protection? It is to close it completely when it is not necessary."

"Ah..." Zhou Zhi felt speechless: "What's going on with these ponds?"

"Lao Wang, Lao Wang, come here!"

"Hey, here it comes!" The old man who looked like a fish farmer walked over quickly carrying an empty thermos bottle: "Oh Professor Gu, why are you here? Oh, Mr. Gu, I haven't seen you for some time...

"

As he spoke, the old man placed the water bottle on the stone road beside the fish pond, stretched out his hand to shake Gu Youwen's hand: "It's not easy for you, old man, to come out. Is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing." Gu Youwen said with a smile, "We're just chatting here, come and take a look."

After that, he introduced to Zhou Zhi: "Dawen, this is Wang Chao, director of Wang Jian's Tomb Cultural Management Office. Wang Chao, this is my young disciple, Zhou Zhi and Zhou Dawen."

"The disciple who gave me the calligraphy?" Wang Chao was shocked: "When did it happen? I have to congratulate Mr. Gu for this."

"Not so much." Gu Youwen looked at Wang Chao and said, "Looking at this posture, your business is pretty good?"

"Hey! There are so many fish out there!"

"Why are you playing fish?" Gu Youwen was confused.

"It's the kind that you catch and put back again. It's not about catching fish, it's just to kill time and drink tea by the way, right? Wang Suo?" Zhou Zhi understands this.

"Yes, that's right." Wang Suo nodded: "This is the closest to the city center...ah, some people still like to come to this pastoral scenery."

"Don't underestimate it. We only pay two yuan each for a cup of tea. See how much we can earn in a day."

There are more than ten people sitting in the pond, and the income is thirty or forty yuan a day. If there are only two or three people, it is enough to provide subsidies.

The corners of Gu Zhenduo's mouth twitched unconsciously, wanting to scold Wang for not doing his job properly, but when he thought about the actual situation, he sighed again and found it difficult to say it.

Gu Youwen said: "This is the current situation. It is already very good for Xiao Wang to be like this. At least the protection work has not been slowed down. This is a great thing."

"This is completely guaranteed." Wang Chao nodded: "We have equipped the power grid, sound and light alarms, and big wolf dogs."

Gu Zhenduo couldn't help but laugh: "Your dog looks after the fish pond, right? This can't be counted."

"Rhubarb is the same as me, one specializes in many things!" Wang Chao said plausibly: "I also want to see the fish ponds and the tombs. I also want to correct a small mistake of yours. We are no longer called the Cultural Management Office. Our official name is

, it has been called 'Wang Jian's Tomb Museum' since the year before last."

"Return it to the museum." Gu Zhenduo couldn't help but laugh: "Your museum is still under official documents. It doesn't even have a gate. After the sign is finished, there is no place to hang it. Why do you have the nerve to talk about it?"

"Hehehehe..." Lao Wang is probably used to being teased and doesn't care anymore: "So Mr. Gu brought the children to visit today?"

"Yes, he is more interested in the Song Dynasty. Today, the ancestors are not here, so I will take him to see the information on the former Shu." Gu Zhenduo introduced the remaining characters to Lao Wang.

Then Zhou Zhi discovered that the TV host and the deputy director of the Office of the Department of Culture didn't seem to have much standing here, but the godfather was more valued.

That's no problem, Lao Wang is also academically qualified.

Lao Wang brought everyone to the door and opened the big iron lock with the key. A big yellow wolfdog jumped to Lao Wang's side: "Don't make trouble, big yellow, we are all guests, behave yourself!"

Dahuang rubbed his body next to Lao Wang, and then walked to the edge obediently.

Lao Wang invited everyone to enter the park, and Zhou Zhi discovered that this place is actually quite good.

Perhaps because few people enter, the entire cemetery seems quiet and deep, and the temperature and light are lower than outside.

You can imagine that if you come here in summer, you will not miss a summer resort.

There are many big trees in the cemetery. Lao Wang and Dahuang led the way, and everyone followed.

While walking, Lao Wang introduced the situation here: "The first excavation of Wang Jian's tomb was before liberation. At that time, it was discovered that although the place had been stolen and excavated, many precious cultural relics were still preserved, so a cultural relic was established.

Protect it.”

"After liberation, the Cultural Management Office also preserved it. The first renovation project was in 1953. It took ten months to re-cap and restore the ancient tomb."

"In 1954, the government repaired the tomb gate."

“In 1961, Wang Jian’s tomb was announced by the State Council of the People’s Republic of China as one of the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units.”

"It wasn't until 1973 that the cultural relics depository was re-established."

"It wasn't until 1984 that the final maintenance work on Wang Jian's tomb was completed, after 30 years of maintenance work."

"Then, as I just said, the cultural relics depository was upgraded to a museum the year before last."

"Now I am actively cooperating with the government to complete the comprehensive management and maintenance project of Wang Jian's tomb."

After speaking, there was a look of pride on his face: "The last special exhibition on Wang Jian's Tomb "Previous Shu Culture and the Exhibition of Cultural Relics in Wang Jian's Tomb" was already fifteen years ago. Now we have re-arranged the exhibition and are just waiting for the repair of the south gate.

Once completed, we can strive to open it up to the outside world.”

The Shinto in front of the entrance to the mausoleum is paved with bricks and stones. There are green cypress trees on both sides of the road and on the top of the mausoleum in front.

The Shinto is not long, but between the cypress trees on both sides, there are stone statues of mythical beasts, Pegasus, Weng Zhong and other civil and military officials.

However, in the eyes of Zhou Zhi, who is now an expert, these are just high imitations, with problems ranging from the stone material to the knife workmanship. On the contrary, they have some style of the Western Wei Dynasty.

"The mausoleum of Emperor Wen of the Western Wei Dynasty is also called Yongling." Zhou Zhi said quietly.

"Why did you think of this, elbow?" Gu Zhenduo asked.

"This little brother is a master." Lao Wang was a little dismissive of the methods on both sides of the tomb passage, but he was quite surprised by Zhou Zhi's vision and accumulation of knowledge: "This is indeed a master who was found by the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau in Shaanxi, modeled after the Western Wei Dynasty

It was built in Yongling style, saying it was to play the tourism card and make the appearance more presentable."
