Queen Chabi’s prophecy came true 500 years later. Qianlong built a Buddhist Incense Pavilion next to her tomb to protect her. Originally, she wanted to bury her tomb in the wasteland of Danling, but Kublai Khan would definitely not agree, because Danling was not a geomantic treasure. As the founding queen of the Yuan Dynasty, her tomb should be built in a place with better Feng Shui. But Queen Chabi was determined to bury herself there, and said that an emperor would protect her in the future, and Kublai Khan agreed to her decision.
1. The Queen Mother loved to worship Buddha, and Qianlong planned to build a pagoda
Qianlong, a king of the Qing Dynasty, was very filial to his mother. The Queen Mother at that time had nothing to do in the palace all day long. So I went to worship Buddha all day long if I had nothing to do. When Qianlong saw that his mother was so enthusiastic about Buddhism, he planned to build a pagoda for her. He looked around and finally chose Danling, a place near the Old Summer Palace. Based on his knowledge, he thought it was a good place. But then a Feng Shui master came out and said that the land was not suitable for building anything.
2. The project started and the Queen’s Mausoleum was excavated
As expected, the pagoda could no longer be built after half of it was built, and various strange things happened. Later, workers finally discovered that there was a tomb under the ground. This tomb was the tomb of Queen Chabi of the Yuan Dynasty. Not only that, but there is a sentence written on a stone tablet next to the tomb: "If you don't touch me, I won't touch you." After hearing the reports from the people below, Qianlong would rather believe that this kind of thing happened than not, so he ordered people to demolish the previous building and built a Buddhist Incense Pavilion next to the tomb of Queen Chabi to protect it. she.
3. Legends add mystery to the Buddhist Incense Pavilion
However, this is actually just a legend and cannot be taken seriously. Qianlong’s purpose of building this Buddhist Incense Pavilion cannot be understood at all. She is the guardian of Queen Chabi. If Queen Chabi's tomb was really dug up, Qianlong would do it to suppress her rather than to protect her. After all, Queen Chabi had no connection with him. Queen Chabi probably only meant what she said to Kublai Khan, saying that her descendants would last for many years and they would protect her tomb.
