Zhaojun Tomb is located on the Black River 9 kilometers south of Hohhot Old Town. Every year, due to "cool autumn and September, the grass outside the Great Wall declines", the vegetation on the earth withers, and only the grass on the towering tomb of Zhaojun is green. People call Zhaojun's Tomb "Qingling Mausoleum". "Green Tomb with Altar" is known as one of the eight scenic spots in Hohhot. Throughout the ages, it has attracted many Chinese and foreign tourists, who come here for sightseeing and pay tribute to Wang Zhaojun, a princess of the Han nationality who has made great contributions to national unity.

Wang Zhaojun, whose real name is Ming, is Zhaojun. In the Western Jin Dynasty, it was renamed "Mingjun" to avoid Si Mazhao. Born in Xingshan County (now Zigui County, Hubei Province) at the end of the Western Han Dynasty. Because of their intelligence and beauty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Yuan entered the palace as "waiting imperial edicts".

In the late Western Han Dynasty, the Han Dynasty and Xiongnu stopped their long-term war and resumed their "affinity" relationship. In the first year of Emperor Jingning of the Han and Yuan Dynasties (33 BC), the Western Han Dynasty agreed to the request of Uhaanyehe, a Hun, and agreed to Wang Zhaojun's marriage. Since then, there has been a situation of reconciliation between Han and Hungary and national harmony, which has been praised by people of all ages.

Wang Zhaojun, regardless of the desolation of the frontier fortress, the cold in the north and the pain of the felt tent, volunteered to go to the frontier fortress and marry a foreigner, showing the extraordinary courage and courage of a weak woman. About Zhao Jun's departure from the fortress, there is a vivid record in the biography of South Xiongnu in the later Han Dynasty. Wang Zhaojun "asked the court to order him to go. Calling Xie Han to leave the meeting, the emperor called five women to show it. " Zhaojun is richly decorated, Han Palace is bright, and Gu Ying lingers back and forth. Uhaanyehe is very happy to get such a beautiful wife. "The letter is willing to protect Shangguan Valley from the west to Dunhuang, and it will never stop." Please stop preparing the officers and men so that the emperor's people can divorce.

It was an important political event for both China and Hungary at that time for Zhaojun to go out to the fortress and kiss. In order to commemorate this marriage, Emperor Hanyuan changed his name to "Jingning", which means peace and tranquility. Uhaanyehe named Zhao Jun as the good queen Hu. Uhaanyehe, the Hun, returned to the Han Dynasty, and showed his majesty to leave the fortress, which also reflected the common aspirations and demands of the working people of all ethnic groups at that time. The four-character bricks of "Khan and Qin", "Long live the Millennium", "Changle Weiyang", "Khan and Qin" and the bricks of "Khan and Qin", "Long live the Millennium" and "Happy and Weiyang" 12 unearthed in the tombs of the late Western Han Dynasty near Hohhot and Baotou show that people of all ethnic groups along the Great Wall live in friendship. Zhaojun went out to kiss the Great Wall, sowing the seeds of peace and good neighborliness between China and Hungary. This seed takes root, germinates, blooms and bears fruit, which has a far-reaching influence on the unity and friendship between the Han nationality and its northern brothers.

Unfortunately, two years before Uhaanyehe's death, Wang Zhaojun married Uhaanyehe. She and Uhaanyehe gave birth to a son named Itu, a wise dentist. After Uhaanyehe's death, Zhaojun remarried his eldest son, who was born in E Shi, Uhaanyehe, according to the Xiongnu custom of "the father died and the wife was the stepmother". Zhaojun and Diao Tao Mogao have two daughters. The eldest daughter's name is Shu Buju Ji, that is, Shu Bufei, and the youngest daughter's name is Dang Yu Juji, that is, Princess Dang Yu.

Zhao Jun and Uhaanyehe were about 20 years old when they got married. It is estimated that they died in the period of Xin Mang (9-23 BC). According to the Tang Dynasty's "Zhao Jun Bian Wen" discovered in Dunhuang, after Zhao Jun's death, the burial ceremony was carried out according to the custom of Xiongnu, which was very grand. Coffin vault, let alone Fiona Fang. "Brew five hundred altars of wine, kill hundreds of sheep, retreat calves, eat well and have a good relationship. Bailidian? Blankets, down-to-earth work. Five hundred miles of gold, silver and Hu bottles are laid, and there is no place to waste them. " Khan surrendered, and all the tribes came to pay homage to the country and bury Zhao Jun. "Emperor Xiao Ai of Hanzhao (6 ~ BC 1) also sent Yang Shaozheng to Khan to offer condolences. The grand funeral reflected the Huns' nostalgia for Zhaojun and their positive attitude towards Han, Hungary and their relatives.

Sixty years after Zhaojun left the fortress, Han and Hungary lived in harmony for 60 years, and the whole desert south, including Hohhot, developed peacefully for 60 years, and there was a prosperous scene of "cattle, horses and wild people flourishing". After the war, the people of all ethnic groups in Han and Hungary who enjoyed a peaceful life for 60 years deeply loved Wang Zhaojun. According to folklore, Zhaojun was a fairy in the sky and married Uhaanyehe. In the frontier fortress, she and Uhaanyehe walked to the edge of Heihe River, only to see the north wind whistling, sand and stones flying, and the troops could not move forward. Zhaojun slowly played the pipa on her back. Suddenly, the wind stopped screaming, rosy clouds rose to the sky, clouds filled, the underground ice and snow melted, and everything revived. After a while, the ground was covered with fresh grass and gorgeous wild flowers. The Yinshan Mountain in the distance turned green, and the black water in the vicinity clarified. Numerous larks, cuckoos and magpies also flew in and circled and sang over her (his) head. Khan and Huns were very happy. They settled on the edge of Blackwater. Later, Wang Zhaojun and Khan traveled all over the Yinshan hills and the north and south of the desert. Wherever Zhaojun went, the water plants were rich and the people were prosperous. Where there is no water, when Zhao Jun plays the pipa, a jade belt-like river and patches of green grass will appear on the ground. Zhaojun also took out five-grain seeds from a beautiful kit and scattered them underground, so he planted five-grain crops. When Zhaojun died, farmers and herdsmen from far and near came to attend the funeral. They covered Zhaojun's tomb with clothes and built it package by package. Legend has it that Zhaojun's tomb changes three times a day, "the morning is like a front, the afternoon is like a bell, and all are like Chinese fir". In other words, Zhaojun's tomb looks like a mountain peak in the morning, like a tripod bell at noon and like a chicken fir (a conical plant of mushrooms) at dusk.

Wang Zhaojun is a symbol of national unity and friendship, and her achievements are admired by future generations. Archaeologists infer from the cultural relics obtained from Zhaojun's tomb that there was a building similar to Xiangtang in front of the tomb in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, when Guan and Qian Liangduo passed by Hohhot, they also saw piles of glazed tiles in the south, including a black Shi Hu, a stone horse, a white stone lion and a stone house. Banners written in Mongolian documents were erected on small stone houses, and locals used a small square pavilion built on the top of Chun Qing, which contained Buddha statues, silk and beans. There is also an ancient willow beside the tomb, shaded by green trees. Those Shi Hu, Shishi, Shima, Shiwu and Xiao Fang Pavilion have entrusted the people of all ethnic groups in Hohhot with their deep attachment and grief for Wang Zhaojun at that time, and faithfully accompanied this long-married Han girl.

Scholars of all ages have commented on Zhaojun's departure from the fortress, and the poet Zhang in the Tang Dynasty put it most appropriately: "A virtuous woman married today, and a proud son knows it." Ji returned to the field, surrounded by many cattle and sheep. "

In addition to Zhong Qing, there are more than a dozen tombs of Zhaojun at the southern foot of Daqing Mountain. Historian Jane Bozan put it well: "It doesn't matter where Wang Zhaojun is buried. The important thing is why there are so many tombs of Zhaojun. Obviously, the appearance of these tombs of Zhaojun reflects the good feelings of the people of all ethnic groups in Inner Mongolia for Wang Zhaojun, and they all hope that Wang Zhaojun will be buried in his hometown.

After liberation, the Municipal People's Government carried out many repairs to Zhaojun's tomb. 1964, the People's Committee of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region listed Zhaojun Tomb as a key cultural relics protection unit in the autonomous region. Today's Zhaojun Tomb has become a magnificent cemetery. It is 300 meters long from north to south, 0/62 meters wide from east to west and 33 meters high, covering an area of about 73 mu. Walking to the tomb, the first thing you see is a large bronze statue of Uhaanyehe and Zhaojun E Shi, which is 3.95 meters high and weighs 5 tons. Further north, a tall stone tablet stands in the morning sun. The stone tablet is engraved with the poem "Visiting Zhaojun's Tomb" inscribed by the late Vice President Dong: "Zhaojun has been here for a long time, but Hu Han knows his height." Poets always express their feelings in vain. "On both sides of the back of the stone tablet, seven stone tablets of each generation are vivid. There are two connected platforms in front of the tomb. Climbing the stairs to the top of the tomb, there is a hexagonal Lanting. In the courtyard in front of the tomb, the exhibition hall of historical relics is divided into east and west parts. There is a statue of Zhaojun in the exhibition hall, white marble, with fine eyes and white teeth, and a lute in his arms.

Wang Zhaojun is an emissary of national unity and friendship. He has lived in people's hearts since ancient times and has been revered and praised by people of all ethnic groups.
