The site of the Ming Tombs is called Huang Tu Mountain. There are two mountains in front of it, forming a treasure trove of geomantic omen. But the Ming Tombs left too many unsolved mysteries. Why does Zhu Yuanzhang's mausoleum look like Beidou? What's so special about the geomantic omen in Judy Changling? What is the reason for digging up spring water in the mausoleum of Hadrian?
Geomantic landform of Judy's Changling mausoleum
The Ming Changling Mausoleum is the mausoleum of the founding emperor and empress Xu of the Ming Dynasty. It is located in the Ming Tombs of Tianshou Mountain at the foot of Yanshan Mountain in Changping District, northwest suburb of Beijing. Six kilometers before the Ming Tombs, there are two hills on both sides of Shinto, Longshan in the east and Hushan in the west, which conforms to the four spirits orientation pattern of East Qinglong and West White Tiger. According to geomantic theory, Tianshou Mountain stretches and Long Mai is prosperous. The mausoleum faces south, with the main peak towering behind it, surrounded by sand barriers (mountains) on the left and right, and extending to Beijing in the southernmost part. The "Tang Ming" (base site) of the mausoleum is flat and broad, with lush vegetation and "vibrant" veins, which is undoubtedly an excellent place for the mausoleum.
The location of Changling is related to Judy's geomantic belief. In A.D. 1408, our queen Xu died, so people were sent to Beijing to look for the mausoleum. It is said that Tujiaying, the first place outside the mouth, was chosen, but because the emperor's surname was Zhu, and Zhu was homophonic with pig, the pig family would definitely be slaughtered if it wanted to enter Tujia. This is called "taboo" and can't be used. Then, it is chosen at the foot of Yangshan Mountain in the southwest of Changping County, but there is a "wolf valley" behind it and a "wolf" next to the pig, which is more dangerous and cannot be used.
Later, I chose "Yanjiatai" in Jingxi, but "Yan Jia" and "Yan Jia" are homophonic (the emperor died and was called "Yan Jia"), which is unlucky. There are also candidates in Tanzhe Temple in the west of Beijing. Although the scenery is good, it is deep in the mountains and forests, and the place is narrow, leaving no room for future generations to develop. After Mr. Feng Shui's two years' travel, senior one and senior two officials finally found a satisfactory place ── Tianshou Mountain (formerly known as Huang Tu Mountain), which is located at 10 km north of Changping County.
The layout of the Ming Tombs is like a riddle of Beidou.
The Ming Tombs are located at the foot of Mount Everest in Dulong Prefecture, south of Zhongshan in the east of Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. This is the tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang and his empress Ma Shi. Ming tombs are large in scale and rigorous in pattern. Xiaoling Building is 2.62 kilometers deep from Xiamafang to Baocheng. The main building of the mausoleum is surrounded by the red wall of that year, with a circumference of 2.25 kilometers. If you look down from the air, you can see that there is a Beidou layout in the Ming Tombs!
In the tombs of ancient emperors, the heavenly palace, celestial phenomena and star charts were used to achieve the effect of "harmony between man and nature" and "the soul belongs to Beidou". Zhu Yuanzhang especially admired astronomical phenomena, so he designed his tomb in the shape of the Big Dipper before his death. The spoon head is a guiding Shinto part around Meihua Mountain, and the spoon handle is a mausoleum building part arranged in a straight line towards the north. From the plan view, the arrangement trend of the "Seven Stars" in Xiaoling is the same as the "Big Dipper" map drawn in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Liao Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty.
If you look down from the air, you can see that the Ming Tombs are in the shape of a big dipper.
A number of founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty are also buried in the back hill of the Ming Tomb, such as the famous Zhongshan King Xu Da and Kaiping King Chang Yuchun. It is rumored that when Zhu Yuanzhang built the Ming Tombs, he said that he lived alone in the sunshine of Zhongshan, and the heroes were buried with Yin Shan. So there is 1 1 hero's tomb in the shadow of Zhongshan, just like the stars facing the "Beidou".
In this way, the Ming Tombs are backed by Zhongshan, forming an auspicious pattern with one back and one record (Sun Quanling), green dragons in the east, white tigers in the west, Xuanwu in the north (a combination of turtles and snakes) and Suzaku in the south. Perhaps, Zhu Yuanzhang was satisfied.
Dingling is the most unlucky place.
Among the Ming Tombs in Beijing, there are three tombs with relatively large regulations: one is the Changling Mausoleum of Ming Taizu Judy; The second is the Yongling of Emperor Zhu Houdi of Sejong; The third is the Dingling of Emperor Zhu Yijun of Zongshen. Dingling is located at the foot of Dayu Mountain in the northeast of Zhaoling, where Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun and two Empresses He Xiao are buried. More than 300 years later, Zongshen's mausoleum, Dingling, was excavated. Dingling was excavated more than 300 years later. It is said that it is because of bad feng shui. At the beginning of the site selection and Dingling construction, an ominous sign was found, which indicated that there would be a great disaster in the future.
Ming Shenzong is also the son of heaven who believes in Feng Shui. In the first month of the 11th year of Wanli (1583), Zhu Yijun, who was only 2 1 year old, took the opportunity of the Spring Festival in Tianshou Mountain to make up the idea of choosing the auspicious land for ten thousand years.
At that time, Qin considered Xinglong Mountain, Xiaoyu Mountain and Shimengou Mountain to be "the most auspicious" after looking at the field comparison in various places, but later, some ministers pointed out that Shimengou Mountain was sitting away from Chaokan, and the direction was inappropriate, and the hall was slightly narrow. But "the shape of Longshan is auspicious, the main mountain is towering, the mountains are stacked, Venus is fat, and Jupiter is falling. It occupies a seat in Mount B, which is divided into two parts. It is shaped like a lotus flower out of water. The case is like the Dragon House and the Phoenix Pavilion. The inner and outer halls are bright, and the left and right auxiliary halls are guarded by dragons and tigers. The mouth of water bends and closes, the mountains are arched, and the water comes to the DPRK. See also the auspicious place of Xiaoyu Mountain, where the main trend is dignified and ups and downs. Mercury is a dragon, Venus is a cave, and it is spread on the left and right sides and arches around. Yunxiu is in favor of sects, the halls are correct and the sand and water are deep. Find a seat in Johor Bahru and a seat in Chen Wu. The above two places are perfect and cannot be discussed. " On September 9th of that year, in the name of autumn festival, Zhu Yijun personally went to see Xinglong Mountain and Xiaoyu Mountain. Xiaoyu Mountain was decided at the scene, and it was only after asking the Empress Dowager Palace that it could be formally finalized.
At the beginning, I found the writing on the wall when I chose the site of Jianling, but I finally built it here.
In September of the following year (1584), at the behest of the Empress Dowager Miyako, Zhu Yijun took advantage of the autumn festival to formally set down the Xiaoyu Mountain, now the site of Dingling, and renamed Yixiuyushan as Dayushan. Although Dayu Mountain is regarded as a "Millennium Blessed Land" by Ming Shenzong, there are ominous signs in the process of construction.
The feng shui master decided that something had happened to the place where the coffin was put in the future, and he dug up a big stone. There was no soil under the treasure bed, which was a serious feng shui taboo. Some ministers proposed to re-select the address of the mausoleum, but surprisingly, Zhu Yijun, who believed in Buddhism and was very superstitious at that time, said that since Zushan was located in Tianshou Mountain, all future generations were buried on this mountain. Under the imperial edict, Jidi was the first achievement of Dayu.
Dingling really suffered a lot in his later years. Dingling was visited by grave robbers for many times because Zhu Yijun searched a lot of human fat and human ointment. Not only that, Dingling has been burned many times in history. In the seventeenth year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty (1644), the peasant rebels from Li Zicheng invaded Changping, and most of the wooden buildings on the ground were burned down. In the same year, the Qing soldiers entered the customs and the cemetery was destroyed again. It was renovated during the reign of Qing Qianlong and burned down during the Republic of China.
Ming Xiaozong Tailing gold well dug up spring water.
Ming Tailing is located in Bijia Mountain, 3.5 kilometers northwest of Changling. It is the tomb of Zhu Min and Empress Zhang of Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty. After the death of Xiao Zong, Ming Wuzong began to plan the Tailing Mausoleum of Xiao Zong. At that time, Li Jie, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, Ni Qian, the deputy supervisor of Qintian, and Dai Yi, the eunuch of Jian, recommended Shijiatai to Ming Wuzong after visiting various places.
Xu Tianxi, a right engineer, also proposed to Wu Zong that he should send people who are proficient in Feng Shui among courtiers to have a look again. He played to Ming Wuzong and said, "If in doubt, please move to Wenjiang and other places in Jiangxi. Looking for warlocks extensively, visiting famous mountains extensively, the clothing is strong, the atmosphere is concentrated, the soil and water are deep, the acupuncture method is correct, and the strength is complete. As Zhu said, they can serve the gods and pray for the eternal help of the country. " At the suggestion of ministers, Ming Wuzong sent people to Shijiatai for investigation, and finally decided to build Xiaozong Mausoleum there.
Tens of thousands of craftsmen and loyal ministers were used at that time. Four months later, the Xuan Palace was completed and Xiaozong was officially buried in the mausoleum. After another half year, all the ground buildings in the cemetery were completed. Although a lot of manpower was used and careful planning was made, the bell still encountered various unexpected situations in the construction process. According to records, when building tailings and digging Gongxuanjinjing, spring water gushed out. ?
Ming Xiaozong dug a spring in the golden well of Tailing.
Yang Ziqi, the official department minister, saw it with his own eyes and told the court truthfully. In the ancient concept of geomantic omen, the water flowing from the golden well was considered as an ominous sign. In this way, tailings must be relocated. Li Xing, the eunuch governor at that time, was very popular with Wu Zong. He was very angry when he saw someone giving advice on the repair of the mausoleum he was in charge of. So, secretly sent someone to block the spring water, and Shangshu said that Yang Ziqi was "slandering and arrogant". Since Wu Zong didn't ask questions indiscriminately, he ordered Yang Ziqi to be put into the Royal Guards Prison.
However, a minister, Shangshu, said: "The performance of this kind of piano is very beneficial. Gaitailing has water, and the whole country is cloudy. If you don't say it at this time, Zigong will have something to say after burial. If you want to open it, you will be discouraged. If you don't open it, you will regret it. It depends on whether there is water, and this doubt can be released. " Since feeling right, he ordered Li Si eunuch Xiao Jing to escort Yang Ziqi to Tailing to identify himself. At this time, Li Xing has blocked the spring. Xiao Jing returned to the palace and reported that there was no water in Tailing Jinjing. The Queen Mother (Xianzong) heard about this in the palace and said, "No water is enough. Why offend people! " Yang Ziqi was reinstated, thus avoiding a fatal disaster.
From the perspective of feng shui, an article once commented on the feng shui of Tailing: "The boulder on the top of the mountain is worn by the earth. The pulse of the spiritual world is actually born under it, covering the mountains outside Tianshou Mountain. It's a mess, the atmosphere is wrong, and the knot is ruthless. It must be a place to put bows and arrows. It is in the darkness in the south of the mountain and has never seen anything before. The water of Xianzhuang and Huiling comes from its left, and the water of Cone Stone starts from its right. Although the two waters merged, they dispersed around the south. ..... the land of the emperor, unspeakable, almost everyone knows! " It's about the boulder at the top of the mountain. There are indeed spiritual veins below, which is a better hill than Tianshou Mountain. But it's a mess here, the atmosphere is wrong, and the black ridge blocks the south. Although the two waters meet, it is hard to say whether the water will dissipate the gas field if it flows south.
