According to relevant records, in Zhu Yuanzhang's site selection, what we can see most is a traditional design concept and culture of China's ancient building mausoleum, which integrates the scenery in the Purple Mountain with the mausoleum by using the method of harmony between man and nature. The designer who designed Zhu Yuanzhang's mausoleum adopted the theoretical system of China ancient architecture and the planning of architectural discipline theory. On the west side of Xiaoling Mausoleum in Zijin Mountain, there is a hill, and people have nicknamed him? Xiaohushan? People in the past didn't understand what this meant. Now it seems? Xiaohushan? This name has something to do with geomantic topography. Is it the seat on the right side of Xiaohushan? Tiger sand? , in the east of Xiaoling? Longsha? Moreover, this dragon sand and tiger sand are also relatives, so that's how the name of Xiaohushan came from. What's more, there is a Hu Cheng in this small tiger mountain, which comes from the geomantic omen of Xiaoling? Keith Hill? Don't underestimate this? Keith Hill? It has a very important cultural symbolic function in China's ancient Xiaoling Mausoleum. In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang and his designers used nature to add color to their tombs. Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the Purple Mountain and poured the Three Rivers into his mausoleum. The purpose of this is to keep the river unblocked and not blocked, and to add color to his mausoleum with three rivers.
Zhu Yuanzhang made full use of the conditions endowed by nature and respected the natural laws of nature. If Zhu Yuanzhang had built his own mausoleum just to look good, he would have filled up the river and turned it into a flat bottom, regardless of anything else. Then if there are some more flash floods, the consequences will be unimaginable! Zhu Yuanzhang's Xiaoling Mausoleum has such a perfect theory of geomantic omen in the tombs of ancient emperors in China, and it is also one of the best.
Geomantic omen is also an indispensable and important theory in China's ancient architectural system, which also contains very rich science, culture and art. Although it has been limited in the changes of the times, even now, people regard it as one of the conditions of China's ancient culture, whether in the East or in the West.
