The Ming Tombs were built in the order of Changling, Xianling, Jingling, Yuling, Maoling, Tailing, Kangling, Yongling, Zhaoling, Dingling, Qingling, Deling and Siling, the most famous of which are Changling and Dingling. Built in the 11th year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (14 13), Changling is the tomb of Judy, the third emperor of Ming Dynasty, and the earliest and largest of the Ming Tombs. The towering Ming architecture is a symbol of Changling.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty, was founded in Nanjing, and was buried in Zhongshan Sun in Nanjing after his death, known as the "Ming Mausoleum" in history. The second emperor Zhu Yunwen (his uncle Judy) sent troops to Nanjing in the name of "Jingnan" (to relieve the danger for the emperor), and his whereabouts are unknown. Some people say it's a monk, but his whereabouts are unknown, so there is no tomb.
The seventh emperor, Zhu Qiyu, was captured by his younger brother, Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, who had no master in the palace. According to the wishes of the queen mother and ministers, he was awarded the throne. Later, Yingzong was put back, and under the planning of his cronies, he carried out a "change to seize the door." The restoration of the British Sect once again proclaimed himself emperor. After Zhu Qiyu was killed, Yingzong refused to recognize him as the emperor and destroyed the mausoleum built in Tianshou Mountain area.
He was buried as a "king" in Yuquan Mountain in the western suburbs of Beijing. In this way, two of the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty were buried elsewhere, one was unaccounted for, and the other thirteen were buried in Tianshou Mountain, so they were called the "Ming Tombs".
