Speaking of the famous royal mausoleum Zhaoling, there are many interesting legends circulating among the people. According to legend, when Huang Taiji, Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, was still alive, he sent people many times to find geomantic treasures as his own auspicious land when he was not dealing with state affairs and war. Unfortunately, people who went out to observe Feng Shui from all over came back to report, but none of them met Huang Taiji's liking. He was unhappy about this.
On this day, the weather was sunny and the sun was shining brightly. Huang Taiji led the kings Beile to go hunting in the northern suburbs of Shengjing. While walking, he suddenly saw a hare running towards him. Huang Taiji hurriedly took off the precious eagle bow, attached a golden arrow, and drove his horse to chase after him. However, the hare jumped into a patch of grass that was as tall as half a man. , there is no trace.
Huang Taiji looked around blankly and couldn't help but feel dazed, thinking that it was strange that a BMW could not catch up with a rabbit. While he was taking a closer look, a loud noise came into his ears. Huang Taiji looked intently and saw a large group of crows sitting on a large mound in the dense forest not far away. When Huang Taiji saw it, he hurriedly took off the golden arrow from the string, inserted it into the quiver, and said to the kings Beile: "The late emperor was protected by this divine crow. The divine crow has been the savior of our Qing Dynasty." After that, he turned around. Ma Tou leads all the kings Baylor back to Shengjing. More than ten years later, the large mound pointed by Huang Taiji became his resting place. This is today's Zhaoling Mausoleum.
Zhenghongmen of Zhaoling
Today, Zhaoling, the royal mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty, is a world cultural heritage and a national cultural relic protection unit that is famous at home and abroad. It is located ten miles north of Shengjing City, commonly known as the North Mausoleum. This is the mausoleum of Emperor Taizong Huang Taiji of the Qing Dynasty and Empress Xiaoduanwen Borjijit Zhezhe. It is also the largest and most scenic place among the three tombs outside the Guan of the Qing Dynasty. "Shengjing Tongzhi" records: "Zhaoling, from the northeast of the city, is surrounded by mountains and hills. From then on, it is wide, flat and vast, with the ability to encompass all things and span the eight wastelands. The Liao River flows back to the right, the Hun River flows to the left, and the good atmosphere is flowing. It has been lush for thousands of years, and the emperor's career is not accidental. "Zhaoling was originally a hilly land, and the mountain had no name. After the mausoleum was built, in the eighth year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1651), the mountain was sealed as Longye Mountain to show good luck.
