My guide is a humorous fat gentleman with excellent eloquence. He lives in a village near the Ming Tombs and is a local.
Where are the residents near the imperial tomb? The so-called villagers are the descendants of grave keepers. It was also through his mouth that I learned some taboos handed down from generation to generation.
In China, whether it is the Forbidden City or other large buildings, most of them have three main entrances for people to enter and exit: the main entrance is usually only accessible to the emperor; When the emperor gets married, the queen can enter once; Three people who won the first prize, the second place and the flower exploration in the court exam can walk out of this door once. In the Qing Dynasty, ministers of civil and military affairs went in and out from the left door, and princes of the royal family went in and out from the right door.
There are also three doors in the Ming Tombs. According to the architectural custom of China, many people will choose to enter through the middle door. At first, even I thought so. However, before I stepped in, Mr. Fat caught me.
"Little girl, you can't just leave this door."
Is there anything else to say here? !
"The three doors of the Ming Tombs, the princes and ministers on the right and the emperors on the left ... the middle door is reserved for the dead. Not those who are dead, but those palace eunuchs who hold offerings, the concubines of the old emperor-a group of living' funerary objects'. "
"This main entrance has no retreat, but it can't get in."
According to the guide's suggestion, I entered through the door on the right. Accompanied by the sudden gust of wind and the rustling of leaves, the marble slab on the foot passed through the thin sole.
Three doors, three people, three fates.
Fresh and innocent lives are buried underground, only because of one-the dead.
Walking along the stone road, you will soon see large animal stone carvings, and the animal species are quite rich, including camels and elephants. Camels mostly grow in the northwest; Elephants mostly live in southwest China. These two animals were carved in the imperial tomb to show off the vast territory during the reign of the emperor, and they were worshipped in all directions.
Ming Dingling is the mausoleum of Zhu Yijun (Wanli), the 13th emperor of Ming Dynasty, and his two empresses (Xiao Duan and Xiao Jing) are also buried here. Dingling is famous for its underground palace.
Leaving the warm embrace of sunshine, I walked down the stone steps step by step with the crowd. The underground palace is deep and the road is long. Mind, remember just now Mr Fat superstitious words:
"Actually, it's no big deal, but you'd better eat something before you go in." Mr. Fat seems to be careless, but his tone is a bit serious.
I smiled. "Why? Can't you bring him an offering? "
"Underground YanQi heavy, hungry people are the weakest, you are still a girl ... in short, not so good. Also, it is best not to take pictures after going in, especially self-portraits. "
"I don't like taking pictures."
"That would be great. Although this underground palace is a scenic spot, it is still a tomb. Taking selfies in the tomb has a bad meaning. Finally, after the visit, I stamped my feet, patted my clothes and said,' I am back'. "
Maybe a little superstitious, but I nodded with a smile. Mr. Fat always means well.
Faint underground palace, blowing cold wind. It looks gloomy, but it's a bit bleak.
The biggest objects that the eyes can see are those scarlet coffins. Emperor Wanli and his two empresses once rested here. There have been efforts to govern, and there have been lazy policies. Regardless of the merits and demerits, it will eventually turn into a piece of loess.
The wheel of history will not stop because of anyone.
Although the world of mortals is troubled, I am just a layman, who is greedy for the warmth and coldness of the world, no matter who says it is vulgar.
Stamp your feet, pat your clothes, say a word,
"I'm back!"
Outside the underground palace, the sun is dazzling and moving inexplicably.
It's good to be alive.
