Different backgrounds and places
The Mausoleum of the Eastern Qing Dynasty was built in the emperor shunzhi.
Both Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty and Emperor Taizong were buried outside the customs, and their fathers and brothers were also buried there, which was considered as the ancestral graves of the Aisin Gioro family. When the Qing dynasty entered the customs, it became a well-founded unified dynasty. The emperor shunzhi decided to look for a treasure trove of geomantic omen near the capital as a new mausoleum. After some investigation and comparison, the emperor shunzhi decided to build the mausoleum in Zunhua (now Tangshan, Hebei Province), more than 0/00 kilometers east of Beijing.
Qing Xiling is from Yong Zhengdi.
When it was Yong Zhengdi's turn, he had planned to be buried in Dongling after his death. When the underground palace he built for himself in Dongling was about to be completed, he appointed his thirteenth brother Prince Yi to inspect the project. Unexpectedly, the Prince and his party told Yong Zhengdi Dongling that there were geological problems after the inspection. He immediately organized an investigation to find a new place. After many twists and turns, he decided to build a mausoleum in Yixian County (now Baoding, Hebei Province), which is 0/00 km southwest of Beijing.
The time of construction is different from the time of burying the emperor.
Five emperors of Dongling in Qing Dynasty
From the construction of Xiaoling Mausoleum in the 18th year of Shunzhi (166 1) to the completion of Empress Dowager Cixi Mausoleum in 1908, it took 247 years, during which five emperors were buried here. In addition to Xiaoling Mausoleum, Dongling also includes Jingling of Emperor Kangxi, Yuling of Emperor Qianlong, Dingling of Emperor Xianfeng and Hui Ling of Emperor Tongzhi.
Five Emperors in Qing Dynasty
It took 19 15 years from the eighth year of Yongzheng (1730) to the completion of Emperor chongling in Guangxu. During the period, in addition to Tailing and chongling, there were four imperial tombs, namely, the Changling Mausoleum of Jiaqing Emperor and the Muling Mausoleum of Daoguang Emperor. Puyi was originally buried in Babaoshan and later moved to Xiling.
Different architectural patterns and environmental styles
The shape of the Qing tombs
The northern part of Dongling is Changrui Mountain and the southern part is Jinxing Mountain. There are mountains in the east and west, which is equivalent to Dongling in a basin. The outline of this basin is very regular. From the main peak of Changrui Mountain to Jinxing Mountain, it is easy to find the central axis.
Xiaoling Mausoleum is located on the central axis in the north-south direction, which inherits the culture of Ming Mausoleum and perfectly combines the mausoleum with the landscape. The tombs of other emperors are arranged around Xiaoling Mausoleum. On Xiaoling's left are Jingling and Hui Ling, and on her right are Yuling and Hui Ling. This overall layout creates a feeling of being surrounded by children and grandchildren, which embodies the thought of "ruling the world with filial piety" in feudal society.
The beautiful scenery of Qing Xiling
Xiling is backed by Yongning Mountain and south of Linyi River, with beautiful scenery and lush vegetation. When Yong Zhengdi was building the Xiling Mausoleum, he ordered many flags to be moved to the Xiling area, mainly to let these flags guard and protect the mausoleum. After a hundred years of reproduction, many villages and market towns have appeared in Xiling area. Xiling is not only the imperial tomb, but also the home of many people, which is why the humanistic atmosphere of Xiling is much higher than that of Dongling.
Xiling is not only well preserved in many cultural relics, such as yongfu temple, which is the only well-preserved royal temple in the history of China. In addition, the ecological environment of Xiling is well maintained and the forest coverage rate is high, which is rare in North China.
