However, Dongyi, Beidi, Xirong and South Vietnam have always been a part of China's history and cannot be avoided. It is also true that the rulers of the two dynasties were sinicized.
So, what was the situation of the imperial tombs in Liao and Jin Dynasties? Can we go sightseeing?
This article will give you a detailed answer.
The Liao Dynasty was founded by the Khitans and enjoyed the country for 2 18 years after nine emperors.
As for the small imperial courts of North Liao, West Liao, East Liao and Hou Liao established after the demise of the Liao Dynasty, there is no need to use pen and ink here.
If you remember how Song Ling was treated in Gongyi after the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, it is not hard to imagine that after the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty, it will definitely destroy the tombs of the Liao Dynasty.
This is also the case.
The land of Longxing in the Liao Dynasty is now the Liaohe River Basin in Liaoning Province. Most of the tombs of Liao emperors are located in this area. After the Jin dynasty occupied this place, it destroyed the ancestral halls and tombs of the Liao dynasty.
Since then, the Jin Dynasty, Mongolia and Yuan Dynasty have all been doing the same thing: destroying the culture of the Khitan people by destroying cultural relics, population migration and changing place names. After a long "effort", the Khitan nationality was assimilated by Han nationality, Jurchen nationality, Mongolia, Korea and other nationalities, and finally disappeared.
In this process, some Khitan adherents sorted out and buried the tombs of the Liao Dynasty. Objectively speaking, this activity also destroyed the imperial tombs of the Liao Dynasty.
Now, it is difficult to find out where the mausoleum of the Liao emperor is.
At the foot of Yiwulu Mountain in Beizhen City, Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province, there is a group of tombs of Liao emperors. In this mausoleum group, people found the tombs of Yelv Zong Zheng and Yelv Zongyun (two nephews of Emperor Sheng Zong of Liao Dynasty), and some tombs of Liao nobles whose owners were uncertain.
These two tombs should be buried with Yeluxian and Ganling in Liao Dynasty, but at present, the tombs of Emperor and Hou have not been confirmed.
Although the imperial tomb has not been found, it does not prevent this place from being called the "Liao Dynasty Imperial Tomb Scenic Area", which is often visited by tourists. Of the four tombs that have been found, Lu Ye Zong Zheng's tomb is open to tourists, but the others have been backfilled.
The imperial tombs in the Jin Dynasty were also quite messy.
Some emperors were demoted after their death (Hailing Wang and Shao Weiwang), and there were no imperial tombs; Some people are not emperors, but their descendants became emperors after they became emperors. Instead, they have royal tombs.
I won't elaborate on the number of imperial tombs in the Jin Dynasty, and there are not many found now.
Jinling site is located at the foot of Yunfeng Mountain, Dafangshan parking lot village, Fangshan District, Beijing. From the ancestor of the Jin Dynasty to Jin Zhangzong, there were 17 emperors, as well as some queens and royalty.
This is the first imperial tomb in Beijing. Except Jin Xuanzong was buried in Kaifeng, Henan Province, and Jin Aizong was dismembered after his death, other Jin emperors were buried here.
The mausoleum area was laid by Yan Hongliang, the king of Hailing. Ironically, he didn't have a mausoleum himself.
He moved the capital of the Jin Dynasty to Beijing, and then built three mausoleums on the old site of Yunfeng Temple to bury the three emperors before him. The following year, he put the ancestral coffins of 10 before the establishment of the Jin Dynasty, each with its own title. The purpose of relocation and burial is to consolidate Beijing's status as the capital and stop the opponents.
So the early Jin emperors were not buried here. Take the example of Mao Yan Hong Akuta. First buried in Shangjing (now the southeast suburb of Balinzuoqi, Inner Mongolia), and then reburied in Jinling, Beijing.
Because so many tombs were built in a hurry, the scale will not be very large. This laid the groundwork for the later loss of the imperial tomb.
Jinling was also ill-fated after the demise of the Jin Dynasty, and the ground buildings in Jinling were destroyed in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties.
The greatest damage was done by the Emperor Apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty (that is, the excellent carpenter). After the rise of the late Jin Dynasty, the Ming army suffered repeated battles and defeats. Emperor Apocalypse was furious and was puzzled by the words of some geomantic magicians. So he sent a large number of troops, destroyed all buildings in Jinling, cut off Long Mai in the mountains, and built Guandi Temple to enter the city. In addition, he also built the A Niu Tower on the tomb of Jin Wushu.
After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, Ling Rui, the great ancestor of Jinling, and Ling Xing, the sejong, were rebuilt. Only these two tombs were built because other emperors' tombs have been buried by weeds and cannot be confirmed.
However, the good times did not last long. During the late Qing Dynasty and the Cultural Revolution, Jinling was destroyed again.
Today, most of the Qing architecture and stone tablets have disappeared. Ling Xing's fence has also been leveled, and Ling Rui's fence has been severely damaged, leaving only a part.
1986, the cultural relics department investigated Jinling and found the Jingling of Jin.
Now Jinling is a national key cultural relics protection unit.
There is no charge for this scenic spot. Now, when you visit Jinling, you can see the closed land in Ling Rui, some architectural relics, archways (modern buildings) and other scenery.
