Guan Yu is a generation of martial saints, how many tombs are there, so which one is true?

Mondo History Updated on 2024-02-21

Guan Yu was a famous general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, who followed Liu Bei to various places in the early days, was captured by Cao Cao, and killed Yuan Shao's general Yan Liang in Baimapo, and was known as the enemy of 10,000 people together with Zhang Fei.

After the Battle of Chibi, Liu Bei assisted Zhou Yu of Eastern Wu to attack Cao Ren of Nanjun, and sent Guan Yu to the north to block Cao Cao's reinforcements. Liu Bei entered Yizhou, and Guan Yu stayed in Jingzhou.

Eastern Wu Lü Meng attacked Jingzhou, Guan Yu was attacked by the enemy on his back, and was killed by Sun Quan when there was no way out. After Guan Yu's death, people respected him as a martial saint and Guan Gong because of his loyalty, and he became an important part of traditional Chinese culture.

1. Luoyang Yanshi: In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an (219), after Sun Quan killed Guan Yu, he gave Guan Yu's head to Cao Cao, and Cao Cao buried him in Luoyang with princely rites. The original tombstone here is engraved with "the tomb of the Emperor Guan Sheng, the Emperor of Hanshou Pavilion, the Hou Lifeng, the King of Wu'an, the Protector of the Country, and the Loyal and Righteous Emperor Guan Sheng", and the tombstone is now in the Yanshi District Museum of Luoyang City.

There has been a **report that Guan Yu's tomb has soiled Guan Yu's head, and the Qinglong Yanyue knife has also been unearthed, but people with a little historical knowledge know that this knife only appeared in the Song Dynasty, so this Guan Yu tomb is not necessarily true.

Guanling in Dangyang County, Hubei Province: Guan Ling is the place where Guan Yu's body is buried. In the twenty-fourth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (220 AD), after Sun Quan killed Guan Yu, Guan Yu's body was buried in Dangyang with the rites of princes.

Chengdu, Sichuan Province:This is mainly to commemorate Guan Yu, the clothed mound built by Shu Guo.

Since it has been revealed that Luoyang has dug up the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and the age of this knife is wrong, the only credible thing is that Guan Ling in Dangyang County, Hubei Province is very likely to be the real tomb of Guan Yu's body.
