Ancient emperors had higher requirements for their tombs. Why?

In fact, there are very few imperial tombs excavated by archaeology, which has aroused the imagination of various literary and artistic works on the imperial tombs, and I wish to build another Forbidden City underground. However, although there are few excavations of imperial tombs, through the excavation of advanced tombs in various eras, we can partially infer the shape characteristics of imperial tombs in various eras. Dabaotai 1 The owner of the tomb is controversial. Some people think it is the tomb of Yan Wang Liu Dan (who died in 80 BC), while others think it is the tomb of Yan Guangqing Wang Liu Jian (who died in 45 BC).

Give a few more examples of later generations. In fact, I think sometimes it is more obvious that the layout of the cemetery, the buildings on the ground and the level of the stone statues reflect the atmosphere of the emperor. The tomb is the tomb of Prince Yide, and the size of the tomb is closer to the imperial tomb. You can guess its size according to the size written on it. The imperial tombs of the Song Dynasty have not been scientifically excavated, but the shape of their underground palaces can also be traced back.

Cao Shi's Tomb (1365), the mother of Zhang Shicheng, was then called the King of Wu in Zhang Shicheng. It is believed to be built according to the shape of the underground palace in Song Ling. Among the imperial tombs in Liao Dynasty, there was a Qingling Tomb, which was excavated by French missionaries from 1922 and Tang's troops from 1930. Later, the Japanese conducted several investigations and excavations, and the report was published in 1953.

The total length of Dong Qing Mausoleum is 2 1 meter, and it is the mausoleum of Yelu Longxu, the emperor of Liao Dynasty. In fact, the imperial mausoleum is only the highest-ranking mausoleum in the past dynasties, and it will not exceed the productivity level at that time by much anyway. Imagination can exist, don't be too serious, and don't dream of getting rich overnight because of imagination, or take a thrilling "adventure" like a literary work.

Why do you have to build a mausoleum as soon as you become an emperor? This is because both the emperor and the dignitaries think that the death of the emperor is not a trivial matter, and it must be buried in a grand way, and the mausoleum should also be adapted to its aristocratic status. If you build a mausoleum after death, I'm afraid it's too late. It must be repaired in advance.

At that time, the emperor divided the national tribute to him into three parts, one for offering sacrifices to ancestral temples, one for entertaining guests, and one for building tombs and buying funerary objects. Due to the increasing scale of mausoleum repair and the increasing use of silver, the money dedicated to mausoleum repair is often not enough, and it is often spent from the state treasury.
