The Tailing Mausoleum in Yongzheng is the most magnificent cemetery in Xiling. Yongzheng wrote a letter before he died and decided not to build stone statues and shinto for his mausoleum. But his ambitious son, Emperor Qianlong, not only built stone statues and Shinto for Tailing, but also built three largest stone archways in China before Shinto. But Qianlong worships his grandfather Kangxi very much and doesn't want to be buried in Xiling. He built a luxurious mausoleum for himself in Dongling, but he couldn't leave his father alone in Xiling, so he wrote a letter to the future emperor, "Show Mu Ling and bury him every other generation."
According to the meaning of Qianlong, his son, the tomb of Emperor Jiaqing, was placed in Xiling. During the Jiaqing period, the national strength of the Qing Dynasty was not as good as that of "Kang Gan Sheng Shi", so the scale of Changling was far less than that of Tailing.
According to Qianlong's will, Jiaqing's son Daoguang should have been buried in Dongling, but when the tomb was built for the dead queen, underground water leaked from the underground palace. Daoguang thought it was unlucky and decided to move the capital to Xiling. Daoguang Muling has an outward wooden faucet carved in the middle of the partition of each door and window, which is very delicate, just like a mold. He wants to get water with the dragon to avoid flooding.
Because Daoguang was buried in Xiling, his son Emperor Xianfeng had to be buried in Dongling. Xianfeng's son Tongzhi Emperor died young, and Empress Dowager Cixi made a decision and still placed it in Dongling. Cixi built a luxurious mausoleum for herself in Dongling, completely ignoring Emperor Guangxu, but when they died at the same time, there was no mausoleum in Guangxu. Chongling, the mausoleum of Emperor Guangxu of Xiling, was built only after Guangxu's death, but the Revolution of 1911 took place three years later, and the Qing emperor abdicated. According to the renewal agreement of the government of the Republic of China and the efforts and donations of a group of elderly people, it was not completed until 19 13. Therefore, the buildings in chongling are very new and angular, from which you can imagine the elegance of the Forbidden City when it was just built. In addition to chongling, there are also the tombs of Zhen Fei (who committed suicide) and her sister Jin Fei, who are very famous in history.
The Three Tombs of Zhongtai Tomb in Xiling are well preserved and have not been stolen. The tombs of chongling and Zhenfei were stolen and the funerary objects were lost. At present, chongling Underground Palace has been opened as a museum.
