Dulong House is really a rare and good place. Ran Ran is sunny, breezy and full of vitality. Moreover, the mountain is gentle, the foundation is solid, and it is easy to construct, which can keep the building dry for a long time, which can be described as "eternal". In the early Ming Dynasty, in order to build Zhu Yuanzhang's Xiaoling Mausoleum, Baogong Pagoda was moved to the eastern foot of Zijin Mountain. It is said that when the Baogong Tower was moved, the real body of Shang Baozhi was actually sitting in two matching cylinders, and the soldiers could not move it. In desperation, Zhu Yuanzhang had to personally write a letter, give a golden coffin and a silver coffin a thick burial on the spot, and build another Linggu Temple, giving the manor 360 hectares for incense.
The construction of the Ming Tombs lasted for 32 years, and 654.38 million military workers were mobilized successively, which consumed a lot of manpower and material resources. There are 65438+ ten thousand pine trees planted in the mausoleum, and thousands of deer are raised. In front of the mausoleum, Xiao Ling Wei was set up, and five thousand soldiers were sent to guard it. During the period of repairing the mausoleum, some founding fathers who founded the Ming Dynasty with Zhu Yuanzhang, such as Xu Da, King of Zhongshan, Chang Yuchun, King of Kaiping and Li Wenzhong, King of Qiyang, died one after another. Zhu Yuanzhang "buried" them all in the "middle mountain shade", that is, the Wang Jiang Temple at the northern foot of the Purple Mountain today, so as to defend themselves forever. Zhu Yuanzhang himself, together with Ma Huanghou, two concubines and 100 ladies-in-waiting, monopolized the south slope of Zhongshan and finally enjoyed the "underworld".
If you pay a little attention, you will find that it is completely different from the layout of many imperial tombs in China. The Ming Tombs started from Kinmen and then from Sifang City. Turning a corner is the Stone Elephant Road, which is a stone statue of a hundred civil and military officials. After bending again, it entered the tomb area, saving the symmetry rules of emperors' tombs in previous dynasties. What is the reason? Every time tourists go here, they will often hear a beautiful story told by the tour guide: When the mausoleum was built, Li Xin, director of the Military Governor's Office of China, suggested that the tomb of Sun Quan, which is located on the hill (Meihua Mountain) opposite the Xiaoling Gate in the south of Xiaoling, be removed, but Zhu Yuanzhang refused to beat it. He said generously, "Sun Quan is a hero, too. Keep it as a gatekeeper for me."
What's the mystery? There are even more proverbs such as "Feng Shui" and "Beidou Constellation", which once seemed to have the upper hand. However, the above argument was questioned by a geological expert. It turns out that the rocks around Meihua Mountain are hard, which are called conglomerate, feldspar and seasonal sandstone in geology. With the economic strength and construction tools at that time, it was really difficult to dig, and the only choice was to detour.
In recent years, some experts have come to the conclusion through rigorous argumentation and investigation that Sun Quan, the Dongwu emperor, who is still buried at the foot of Meihua Mountain at the southern foot of Zijin Mountain, and Sun Yat-sen, the temporary president of the Republic of China, who has been lying on the southern slope of Maofeng Mountain for nearly 90 years, actually come from the same family. In other words, Sun Quan and Sun Yat-sen were originally a family.
This is exactly what happens when stars turn around and change. It is difficult to define who is the gatekeeper.
