Anyang County Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

The cultural relics unearthed from the tomb of Cao Cao are so austere that they are jaw-dropping

📝Henan part55📝 📷📷📷📷 The artifacts unearthed from the Gaoling tomb of Cao Cao are so simple that they make one's jaw drop; there's really not a single piece of gold, silver, or jewelry, only some pottery and weapons. The modest burial would probably only leave tomb robbers feeling frustrated enough to smash things around. This might also explain why most of the pottery here is also broken 😂. Of course, it's also possible that anything valuable was thoroughly looted, but to have looted to such an extent seems quite difficult.

Understand the real King Wei Wu in Gaoling

Highly recommended for Three Kingdoms and history scholars to visit. Here you can learn about Cao Cao's life, mainly to understand the opposite side of King Wei in the 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'. From changing taxes, to farming, to the nine-rank system, to employing people regardless of their character, to refusing rewards, to the final frugal burial, It all reflects that although he was a Han minister at the end of the Han Dynasty, he changed the fate of the country and the direction of history with his own power in the turbulent times. The architecture inherits the style of the Han Dynasty, and the tombs have been destroyed to the present and are well protected, and it is worth visiting. Finally, let's talk about the guide, my guide Xiao Cao (descendant?), is the only one I have seen all over the country, who explained every painting, every text, every cultural relic, and even every rivet to me, and is knowledgeable about the history at that time, about 40 minutes of exhibition content took me a full two hours, very impressive!

Hongqiqu Memorial Hall personally think that this is a must-see memorial for Henan tourism. The Hongqi Canal Memorial Hall records in detail the story of Linxian people building the Red Flag Canal. In that year, Lin County was suffering from ten years of drought and poverty. The 100,000 people in Lin County worked together to build a heavenly road. No matter how long the spirit of Hongqi Canal lasted forever.

#### Why does Hongqiqu become the pride of Linzhou and even China? Why is the spirit of the Red Flag Canal immortal? Come to the Red Flag Canal Memorial Hall, where you will find the answer.

Ma's Manor is divided into two scenic spots, one left and one right, one side is the former residence of Ma Yuyao, and the other is the former residence of his son Majimei. Ma's Manor is located in Xijiang Village, 20 km west of Anyang City, Henan Province. It was the residence of Mazhao Yao, the governor of Guangdong in the Qing Dynasty. It was built in the early Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China and is well preserved. It covers an area of over 20,000 square meters. Among them, the building area is more than 5,000 square meters, which is called the architectural specimen of the feudal official residence of Zhongzhou Land and the first official residence of the Central Plains. The manor building is all brick and wood structure, gray tile roof. The roof is mostly hard-top, with hanging mountains and flat tops. Its architectural features include the characteristics of Beijing's traditional courtyards, the local folk architecture of the Central Plains, and the characteristics of Shanxi carving art. Another notable feature is that, regardless of the main room, most of the rooms have front porches, while others have front and rear corridors, which form a gallery corridor, and the courtyards are connected, especially in rainy and snowy days. Ma Yuyao's former residence, the first thing we saw was the "Jinshidi" plaque. The emperor gave Ma Zhen Yao Jinshi a birth, and his four friends made this plaque for him! Ma's Manor is divided into six roads, including the temple and the courtyard of the fourth. The west wing of the Sanjinyuan was the place where Emperor Cixi and Emperor Guangxu stayed at the Ma's Manor in 1902. Four hospitals, where the owner Ma Yaoyao lived. The bed displayed in it was the authenticity used by Emperor Guangxu in the past, and it was carved from some ebony wood. South District is a courtyard where the third son Majimei was in the Republic of China for 13 years and completed in 1924. The same is the four-door courtyard.
