​❤️Introduction: Yongzhao Mausoleum is the burial site of Zhao Zhen and is now the Songling Park. It is large in scale, built according to the terrain, and consists of the "Emperor's Mausoleum" and other parts. There are many pairs of stone carvings on the Shinto shrine, with delicate carving techniques and lifelike shapes. "Auspicious Birds" and "Kanodo" are masterpieces.
The Songling Mausoleum is located in Gongyi City, Zhengzhou. It is the burial place of seven emperors and eight tombs of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The burial site is the second batch of national cultural relics protection units.
The scenic spot features stone carvings, the Queen's Mausoleum, etc.
Yonghou Mausoleum is the cemetery of Song Yingzong Zhao Shu. It is separated from Yongzhao Mausoleum of Song Renzong by only one road. Compared with the majestic Yongzhao Mausoleum, it appears more primitive. There are no tall quetai and corner towers, only a rammed earth foundation and a lonely tomb. The solemn feeling brought by the emptiness is even more shocking. Song Yingzong Zhao Shu (1032-1067), great-grandson of Taizong and son of Pu Wang Zhao Yunrang. Because Song Renzong had no children, Yingzong was brought into the palace by Renzong to be raised as a child and was given the name Zongshi. After Zhao Shu became emperor, he appointed old ministers such as Han Qi, did not want to carry out reforms, and did not go to war with the Liao Kingdom and Western Xia. The TV series "Knowing or Not" depicts some power struggles against the backdrop of the transition between Emperor Renzong and Emperor Yingzong.
