Later, Wu Zetian called the emperor, day and night thinking of her mother Yang's, so she built a civil construction for her mother to build a mausoleum, which was enjoying the imperial ritual system at the time. Shunling is known for its majestic and exquisite stone carvings, with 30 existing animals, statues of people and scattered pieces of Huabiao stone. These stone carving animals have a history of more than 1300 years, in modern people's view they are undoubtedly one of the most powerful symbols of the great Tang Dynasty. These walk the griffin hair scattered, leaping, the qi Guan Tang Tomb, known as the "first lion in the east" reputation. The stone lion, so domineering, was not used by a great emperor, but was the guardian of an unknown ancient woman. The most famous stone carving in Tang Shunling is the Libra (also known as the unicorn), which is said to be auspicious beast that can recognize good and evil and distinguish the twists and turns.
