King Liang Zhuang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was the ninth of the ten sons of Emperor Zhao of Renzong, and his mother worshipped Guo Guifei. On October 11th, the 22nd year of Yongle, he was canonized as King Liang. The ninth son of Ming Renzong was born on June 17th in the 9th year of Yongle (14 1). 14 years old (1424) was given the title of Liang Wang, and 19 years old (1429) went to Guang 'an Road in Fanhu, in the sixth year of orthodoxy (65438). According to the Biography of Princess Liang Zhuang of Daming, Princess Wei was canonized as Princess Liang in the eighth year of Xuande (1433) at the age of 2 1. In the sixth year of orthodoxy, Wang Qiu of Liangzhuang, "wanted to die with Wang, and received the achievements of the company. He was merciful to the Lord and ordered Wang Er's youngest daughter to remain in charge of the palace." In the second year of Jingtai (145 1), on March 17th, she "died of illness at the age of thirty. On the seventh day of September of the year of death, Yuling Mountain in Inner Mongolia was originally buried, the same as Wang Zhi. " It can be seen that the gap between Wang and Fei is ten years; Wang Zhi's Yuping Mountain and Fei Zhi's Yuling Mountain refer to the same place.

Liangwangling

The tomb of King Liangzhuang was originally an internal and external building, a ground building in the park and an underground palace. After vicissitudes of life, only the northern half of the underground palace and its internal and external buildings are left, and the ground buildings in the park are gone, but the scattered bricks and tiles show their brilliance. The inner and outer gardens are rectangular, with a north-south direction. The existing outer garden is 250 meters wide from east to west and the inner garden is 55 meters wide from east to west. Dissecting the foundation address of the internal and external walls, it is proved that the width of the external wall is 1.3m, which is a stone skin and soil core wall (that is, the internal and external walls are made of natural stones of different sizes, and then filled with soil), and the soil is raised for slope protection; The width of the internal wall is 1 m, which is a masonry core wall (two internal and external walls, filled with pebbles) and also used for slope protection. The tomb (underground palace) is built on a hillside in the inner garden, with a north-south direction and a "middle" shape on the plane. It belongs to a brick tomb with a cliff hole and a sealed mound, and there is an inclined pyramid-shaped mound at the southern end of the tomb. The pyramid-shaped mound is vertical, the bottom is high in the south and low in the north, the horizontal length is 10.6, the widest mouth is 4.3 meters, and the bottom at the north end is 7 meters deep from the ground. To build a tomb is to drill from the vertical wall at the northern end of the pyramid-shaped mound to the north to form a tunnel, and then build a tomb with bricks in the hole, and the binder is lime. The tomb is divided into a front room and a back room. The front room is horizontal and has a double vault. The front room and the back room are respectively provided with double doors and tunnels. The total length of the tomb is 15.4, with a maximum width of 7.88 and a height of 5.3 meters. The fill in the tomb is divided into five layers: the first layer is the selected soil outside the tomb, which has not been rammed; The second and fourth layers are lime layers, and the third and fifth layers are the original pit red Chuyan, which has been compacted. The cut hole is the earth and stone excavated by the cavern, and finally it is backfilled into a sealed earth pile with a height of about 9 and a bottom diameter of about 50 meters. At the door is a six-story brick coupon, with a wall thickness of 1 m. Above the ceiling, build a retaining wall to reach the bottom of the second lime layer. A monument wall with a height of1.17m is added to the top of this wall, and the foot of the monument wall is pressed on the fourth lime surface. This tablet wall is embedded with stone epitaphs, which are juxtaposed with the east and the west: the epitaph in the east is larger, which is the epitaph of the tomb of King Liangzhuang; The epitaph on the west side is smaller, which is the biography of Princess Daming Liangzhuang. The tomb wall is nearly 1 m thick, and it is made of six layers of bricks, while the floor tiles are only paved with one layer. The front room door is made of stone, but only the east door and the west door have been lost. There is a rectangular pit on the floor tile of the front room behind the door to support the "natural stone". The back door is painted wood, and it's rotten. There are niches, coffin beds and lampstands in the back room: there are two rectangular coffin beds in the room, and the king's coffin bed is built with stone bars in the middle; The slightly smaller one in the west, connected by bricks, is the princess's coffin bed. There is a brick lampstand on both sides of the aisle, and there is a niche on the east, west and north walls. On the vault of the back room, there is a stolen hole that was sunk but not collapsed by the grave robbers, indicating that the grave robbers have never entered the tomb.

The tomb is covered with a layer of lime 2-7 cm thick, and the burial utensils and funerary objects are placed on the lime layer. Due to accumulated water, a silt layer with a thickness of 3- 10 cm was deposited on it. Because the bottom of the tomb is lower than the groundwater level, and the water depth in the tomb is 3 meters, it is necessary to continuously drain water during excavation. Hard objects in the funerary objects, such as gold, silver, jade and jewelry, are well preserved. Soft objects, such as silk and linen fabrics and human bones, are rotten; Lacquered coffins, curtains, boxes, etc. They also collapsed or decayed, and the utensils originally placed inside were also messy. Because of the water in the tomb, a large pottery pot (lamp) originally placed on the lampstand in the back room drifted into the tunnel outside the stone gate in the front room. Although the location of funerary objects is chaotic, many objects are not easy to drift. For example, lead and tin funerary objects, copper and iron mainly come from the front room, while gold, silver, jade and jewelry (originally placed in coffins and boxes) mainly come from the back room. When cleaning, shovel out scattered small objects with a pallet.

According to preliminary statistics, there are more than 5 100 funerary objects in the tomb, including more than 4,800 pieces of gold, silver, jade and beaded gems, which are well preserved and resplendent, which can be described as endless happiness. This batch of gold, silver and jade articles is single or multiple, and there are many kinds.

The excavation of the tomb of King Liangzhuang has exposed a large number of precious cultural relics to the world, and also put forward some new research topics. At present, only the first stage of indoor finishing has been completed, and a comprehensive finishing work is about to begin.
