However, the majority of the Ming tombs are located in a cluster near Beijing and collectively known as the Thirteen Tombs of the Ming dynasty.

Enjoy the cool air! I should be the first science popularization master who entered the Ming Tombs at night.
This is the largest and most complete royal cemetery in China, and the resting place of 13 emperors of the Ming Dynasty. When the hustle and bustle of the day fades away, this cemetery has more vicissitudes of history. The purpose of this trip is to find the answer to a question.
Regardless of whether it is the imperial tombs of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the imperial tombs of the Song Dynasty, or the imperial tombs of the Qing Dynasty, they were either severely damaged or completely looted. But why is it that only the Ming Tombs are relatively intact above and below ground? 明圣圣陵Why can survive to this day ?
Walk! Go down to the imperial mausoleum to solve the mystery that has been covered in dust for many years…
The Ming Tombs are located in Changping District, 50km northwest of Beijing, and are the general name of the tombs of 13 emperors of the Ming Dynasty. The mausoleum area covers an area of 80km2, and it is the relatively complete mausoleum building and the tomb group with the most buried emperors in the world today. The construction of the Ming Tombs began in the seventh year of Ming Yongle (1409) and ended in the early Qing Dynasty, which lasted more than 200 years. According to the order of the construction time of the mausoleum, they are: Changling (Tomb of Emperor Yongle), Xianling (Tomb of Emperor Hongxi), Jingling (Tomb of Emperor Xuande), Yuling (Tomb of Emperor Zhengtong (that is, Emperor Tianshun)), Maoling (Tomb of Emperor Tianshun) Chenghua Emperor’s Tomb), Tailing (Hongzhi Emperor’s Tomb), Kangling (Zhengde Emperor’s Tomb), Yongling (Jiajing Emperor’s Tomb), Zhaoling (Longqing Emperor’s Tomb), Dingling (Wanli Emperor’s Tomb), Qingling (Taichang Emperor’s Tomb) Emperor’s Mausoleum), Deling (Tianqi Emperor’s Mausoleum), Siling (Chongzhen Emperor’s Mausoleum). In addition to the 13 emperors buried in the mausoleum area, there are also 23 empresses, 1 imperial concubine and dozens of palace officials who were buried. In addition, there are 7 concubine graves in the mausoleum area (East Well, West Well, Tomb of Concubine Wangui, Mourning Tomb, Tomb of Four Concubines and Two Princes, Tomb of Concubine Xian, Tomb of Concubine Zheng and Tombs of Concubines Erli, Liu, and Zhou) ) and a eunuch’s burial tomb (Wang Chengen’s tomb), as well as various buildings such as palaces and gardens serving the emperor’s mausoleum. City walls were built at 10 natural mountain passes (Dongshan Pass, Zhongshan Pass, Zhazikou, Xishan Pass, Desheng Pass, Yanzi Pass, Zhuishi Pass, Xianzhuang Pass, Huiling Pass, and Laojuntang Pass) around the mausoleum. , Barrier walls and other defensive facilities to protect the safety of the mausoleum area.
The construction of the imperial mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty was divided into several steps: the selection of the mausoleum site, the formulation of regulations, and the preparation of materials for construction. The selection of the mausoleum site is the primary link in the construction of the mausoleum. Generally, firstly, the first and second-rank officials of the DPRK will lead the Fengshui surveyors to follow the theory of Fengshui, “the shape of the mountain from the outside, and the land veins from the inside”. The emperor, if necessary, draws a picture, pastes a description, and finally decides by the emperor.
After Cheng Zu Zhu Di proclaimed himself emperor, he planned to move the capital from Nanjing to Beijing. In the sixth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1408), Zhu Di ordered Zhao Yan, Minister of Rites, to lead Jiangxi warlock Liao Junqing and others to visit the mausoleum near Beijing. After more than a year, the auspicious soil for thousands of years was finally found in the Huangtu Mountain in Changping. Zhu Di then sealed Huangtu Mountain as Tianshou Mountain, and decreed to encircle the area with a radius of 80 li as the forbidden area of the mausoleum.
The layout of the tombs of the Ming Tombs is not in accordance with the “Zhou Li” method of left and right, but with the respected ones in the main veins and the humble ones in the secondary veins (remaining veins). Changling is the first tomb of the Ming Tombs. It is located in the middle of the main peak of Tianshou Mountain, and other tombs are arranged around it. Among the Ming Tombs, Changling is the largest, followed by Yongling and Dingling, and Siling is the smallest. Mausoleum construction methods can be divided into three types: one is the mausoleum built by the emperor during his lifetime, which is large in scale and richly decorated (such as Changling Tomb, Yongling Mausoleum, and Ding Tomb); The posthumous edict of “building a mausoleum” may be affected by the burial period and national power, and the scale is small and relatively simple (such as Xianling and Jingling); the third is that the emperor will not have time to build the mausoleum during his lifetime, and the next dynasty will build it after the change of dynasty (such as Siling). The Ming Tombs are famous all over the world for their majestic scale, complete cemetery system, solemn and harmonious layout, beautiful and quiet scenery, and elegant and simple style. In 1957, it was listed as the first batch of key ancient buildings and cultural relics protection units in Beijing. In 1961, it was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit. In 1982, the Ming Tombs and Badaling were listed as one of the national key scenic spots protection areas as a complete scenic spot.
