They immediately found Wu Han, one of the sponsors of the report, and hoped that he would take back his suggestion: the current level of archaeological work in China is still difficult to undertake such a large-scale excavation work, and the preservation and restoration technology of cultural relics is not enough. Such a large-scale excavation and preservation will be a headache even for countries with advanced technology in the world. But for Wu Han, who is in charge of Beijing's cultural and educational work, he has made up his mind and can't change it: the country has been liberated for many years and there are experts from the older generation.
Both sides can't hold on any longer, and they are pinning their hopes on the final decision maker. Five days later, the news of Premier Zhou's final ruling came: he agreed to dig. At the beginning of February, 65438+, under the auspices of Wu Han, the "Changling Excavation Committee" composed of seven people, including deputy director of the Institute of Archaeology of China Academy of Sciences, director of the Cultural Relics Bureau of the Central Ministry of Culture and director of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture, Xia Nai, was established. Out of caution, the excavation of Changling did not start immediately, but made corresponding preparations, so I asked Wu Han, then vice mayor of Beijing, to find a slightly smaller tomb for "trial excavation".
On March 30th, 1956, the cultural relics investigation and research team of Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture sent three cadres to the mausoleum area for investigation. They visited Xianling Mausoleum, Qingling Mausoleum and Dingling Mausoleum. Finally, Xia Nai and Chen Zide proposed that "there is a ready-made gap on the wall of Dingling, so you can try to dig it. If it fails, try to dig the fairy again. " In this way, after repeated comparisons, Dingling was finally taken as the trial excavation object, so the "Changling Excavation Committee" was renamed as "Dingling Excavation Committee".
In order to excavate Changling, we practiced in Dingling and accumulated excavation experience. Who did Dingling provoke? Is it just a historical coincidence that Emperor Wanli suffered after 300 years? Or is there another reason?
The feng shui teacher believes that the reason why Emperor Wanli was unfortunately discovered was because the feng shui was not good. As early as the beginning of the year, when he chose the land to build a mausoleum, he had already found the ominous omen. It is natural and understandable that there will be a catastrophe in the future.
In the first month of the 11th year of Wanli, although Zhu Yijun was only 265,438+0 years old at that time, he had been emperor for 65,438+065,438+0 years, so he took the opportunity to spend the Spring Festival in Tianshou Mountain and made up his mind to choose Yoshida as the year of Wanli. At that time, he chose several mausoleum sites in the Qin and Wei Dynasties because the geomantic omen was not good.
One of them is located in Shimengou, north-south direction, unfavorable direction and narrow hall. However, the other two places are excellent feng shui treasures in the eyes of feng shui masters. One place is Xinglong Mountain, and the feng shui master's evaluation is that the main peak is towering, the mountain is arched, the river flows around the foot, and all the water flows to it. The mountain looks like a lotus, like a dragon building and a phoenix pavilion. The hall is magnificent and the affiliated buildings are rigorous. It is the highest and most expensive place. Another place is Xiaoyu Mountain, which is in line with the pattern of geomantic treasures. The mountains are majestic, mercury walks the dragon, Venus stands the hole, the hole is left and the hole is right, the archway looks after the world, the hall is upright, and the sand and water are deep.
On September 9th of that year, Zhu Yijun personally went to see Xinglong Mountain and Xiaoyu Mountain in the name of autumn festival, initially set Xiaoyu Mountain at the scene, and went back to ask the Queen Mother to finalize it. In September of the following year, under the command of Empress Dowager Cixi, Zhu Yijun took advantage of this opportunity.
A minister named Liang took the opportunity to participate in the "evil" of Xu Xuemo, the minister and assistant minister of the illegal department of rites. Liang also recommended the location of the mausoleum, but Xu Xuemo and he decided that Dayu Mountain was the real dragon cave. Liang suggested that for the sake of Daming's long-term stability, the site should be rebuilt. At that time, lazy and groggy Zhu Yijun seemed unbelievable and made a decision that surprised the minister. He said, "The ancestral mountain mausoleum was built on Tianshou Mountain, and all children and grandchildren, long live, are buried on this mountain." And wrote a letter to the minister, advising him to stop arguing. The auspicious place to make contributions first is Dayu Mountain. Many ministers who said that Dayu Mountain was unlucky were punished. However, since the establishment of Dingling for six years, the discussion about the unlucky geomantic omen in Dingling has never stopped.
According to historical records, in the twenty-third year of Wanli, Dingling has been built for five years. At that time, 1 1, the grandson of Liu Bowen, the founding hero and master of geomantic omen, said in recitation that "the dragon cave is not true". Liu Bowen chose Zhu Yuanzhang's Xiaoling Mausoleum in Nanjing, and Liu Shiting's geomantic theory should be ancestral. Sure enough, 24 years later, Li Zicheng attacked Daming Capital, and then let Ai Xinjue Roche, a Commissioner, take the country away and die in the Ming Dynasty. Coincidentally, 300 years later, Dingling became the object of excavation, and Zhu Yijun, the emperor who enjoyed the country for the longest time in the Ming Dynasty, and his empress didn't even have a permanent resting place.
