The pattern of the Ming Tombs is very large, and only the main body is worth exploring by our experts. Divided into the tomb before the tomb and the tomb after the tomb. There is a main entrance in front of the sacrificial tomb of the Ming Tombs, and another door is added at the back, which is the "Maoen Hall". This gate is divided into east and west halls, and there are many buildings in front of it. In the mausoleum area, its layout is basically circular and rectangular. There is a tablet pavilion in front of each mausoleum, and a tablet stands in the pavilion. The inscription records the achievements of the emperor before his death. It is also a sad thing that after Emperor Injong wrote an inscription about Jigong for his father Judy, no one wrote it again.
The feng shui of the Ming Tombs is particularly good. After all, the emperor used it as a mausoleum at that time, especially hoping to keep his hegemony. In ancient China, people believed that there was still a soul after death, so we must be very careful when choosing a grave and pay attention to the theory of geomantic omen. Just as Qin Shihuang must build an underground palace for himself after his death, he dreams of unifying the world of the underworld after his death. Even the choice that influenced the Ming Tombs was made by Feng Shui masters at that time, and Feng Shui was particularly good.
Of course, I think there should be political thoughts at that time. After all, the mausoleum was built to maintain the rule.
