The Ming Tombs were built in the seventh year of Yongle (1409). In order to find an auspicious cemetery, Ming Chengzu ordered Jiangxi Feng Shui master to find this mountain in Changping, which was named "Tianshou Mountain" after Judy's personal reconnaissance and confirmation. Later, twelve Ming Di built tombs here one after another, and Feng Shui masters participated in the specific determination of their tomb sites.
The terrain where the Ming Tombs are located is surrounded by mountains in the north, east and west, and the south is open. The mountain stream flows southeast after merging with the Yulingqian River. There are two hills on both sides of Shinto 6 kilometers in front of the mausoleum, namely "Longshan" in the east and "Tiger Mountain" in the west, which conforms to the four-spirit orientation pattern of East Qinglong and West White Tiger. According to geomantic theory, Tianshou Mountain stretches and Long Mai is prosperous. The mausoleum stands to the south, with the main peak towering behind, surrounded by "sand protection (mountain)" on the left and right, and extending to the extremely southern Beijing Plain. The "Tang Ming" (base site) of the mausoleum is flat and broad, with lush vegetation and "vibrant" veins, which is undoubtedly an excellent place for the mausoleum. From Dahongmen all the way inward, people can appreciate the touching effect of the harmonious combination of mausoleum architecture and majestic mountains. .........................
