In "Dream of Red Mansions", "At the end of the sky, where is the incense hill?" Although the question was deafening, no one answered.
In ancient China, there were four beauties: Xi Shi, Diao Chan, Wang Zhaojun, and Yang Yuhuan, and their funeral place can be called Xiangqiu? I don't know where the four beauties of China are buried, what Xiangqiu looks like, and I don't have the heart to verify it and visit it as a scenic spot. But before leaving, my friend Ru Guangzi repeatedly reminded me that I must go to see the tomb of Zhaojun when I arrive in Hohhot. Only then did I know that the ancient beauty queen Zhaojun was buried in Hohhot in the north. At this time, I was in this place, and my curiosity was aroused, and I decided to go on a walk and see what Xiangqiu looked like.

The tomb of Zhaojun, also known as the green mound, is located at 6 kilometers of Zhaojun Road, Yuquan District, Hohhot, covering an area of 13,000 square meters.

The building is the Inner Zhaojun Museum, and it is also the entrance to the Zhaojun Tomb Scenic Area.

Wear the green mound archway, you can clearly see the bronze statue of the pro. The statue of Heqin is iron-black, 4 meters high, weighs 5 tons, and sits on the stone foundation in a solid manner, which is impressive and dazzling. Zhaojun was dressed in a big horse and Hu Han Evil Shan Yu rode side by side on two tall horses, walking slowly with light bridles. Looking back and whispering, Zhaojun listened attentively, and the moving scene reproduced the harmony and family affection of the Han and Mongolian peoples.

After the statue of Heqin, there is a wide step, and on the step is a platform, and there are two red pillars and blue tile stele pavilions at the bottom of the platform. There is a high stone tablet in the stele pavilion, and the stone tablet is engraved in Mongolian, and I can't recognize a word; Another stone tablet is engraved with Chinese characters, but there is a woman in a black dress lying on the tablet crying, leaving only the two words "Wang Zhao" for people to recognize. Originally, I wanted to wait for the woman in the black dress to cry and take a closer look at the inscription, but for some reason, the woman in the black dress lay on the stone tablet and cried heartbreakingly, and was sad and unwilling to leave for a long time.

Walking along the steps to the tomb, I saw that the red railing iron gate was tightly closed, and there was a red sign hanging on it, and the snow-white words on it were particularly eye-catching: "Tourists stop". Thousands of miles away to watch, the branches and leaves have seen a lot, but when they arrived at the tomb, they ate closed, how can it not be disappointed and sigh.

After looking at the tomb of Zhaojun, he turned around and returned. In ancient times, Hohhot was far away from the Central Plains and the end of the sky. Zhaojun married the emperor and his relatives far away, and died in a foreign land, and the funeral place should be regarded as a mound in Xiangqiu.

Nowadays, about the incense mound of Zhaojun's tomb, there is still a continuation of folk legends: in late autumn, the grass and trees in the four fields are withered and yellow, only the Zhaojun tomb is tender yellow and green, and the grass is green.
Walking slowly along the Shinto, lines of ancient words popped out of my chaotic thoughts, and I chewed as I went:
In the first month of the first year of Jingning (33 years ago), the leader of the Southern Xiongnu of the Han Dynasty, Hu Hanxi, came to Chang'an to make a pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven, in order to fulfill the courtesy of the vassals, and invited himself as a son-in-law. Emperor Yuan then gave the palace maid Zhaojun to Hu Han Evil.
Zhaojun returned with the evil of Huhan, and left behind the popular legend of "Zhaojun out of the plug".
