After Judy, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, moved to Beijing, she began to choose a place to build a mausoleum for herself. Because he believes in Feng Shui, the choice of a mausoleum has a long history. According to legend, Judy chose many places at that time, and finally chose Tianshou Mountain for various reasons. It is said that one of Judy's Feng Shui masters originally proposed to build a mausoleum in a place called Tujiaying. However, Judy thought that once the pig entered the slaughterhouse, there would be no other result except being killed, so Judy immediately rejected the plan. Later, someone suggested to Judy to choose Tanzhe Temple in Jingxi, saying that it is a thousand-year-old temple and must be a treasure trove of geomantic omen. At first, Judy thought Tanzhe Temple was a good place, but when he personally. Later, he chose to be at the foot of Yangshan Mountain in Huairou. Supposedly, sheep and pigs should live in peace, but there is a village called Wolf Valley near Yangshan. If pigs flood wolves every day, something will happen sooner or later. Later, another place was the "Yanjiatai" in Mentougou, which was also rejected because it was homophonic with the artistic conception of the emperor's death.
Finally, Judy took a fancy to Huang Tu in Changping. When he investigated Huang Tu Mountain, he found a village called Kangjiafen in front of Huang Tu Mountain, with an acorn forest in the west and a clear and dry river in the east. Judy thinks that there is health in front, acorns on the left and water on the right, which is a treasure trove of feng shui in Zhujiajian Island, so she decided to build a mausoleum here, and this year happened to be Judy's 50th birthday, so she renamed Huangtu Mountain Tianshou Mountain.
Tianshou Mountain, formerly known as Huang Tu. After the death of Xu, the queen of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Judy sent Mr. Feng Shui to the chosen auspicious place for thousands of years.
Tianshou Mountain is continuous, and Long Mai is vigorous. The mausoleum faces south, with a main hall in front and a mountain peak behind it, and slowly rocks up and down. The mountains and rivers are all in line with the scene in which dragons, sand, water and caves match in Feng Shui master's mind. According to Feng Shui, Tianshou Mountain is an excellent place for Feng Shui.
Judy often identified Tianshou Mountain as the royal mausoleum after field investigation, so the Ming Tombs and Tianshou Mountain were formed in the right place at the right time.
The emperor is cleverer than ordinary people. Tianshou Mountain has a wide view in front and three in the back. There is ancestor Shan Zong, and there are mountain guards around the ancestor mountain, and the leaders of the mountain behind face to face. There are several things that we can learn from each other. Lao Zhao looks like a treasure trove of feng shui here. Please let me know if there is anything wrong. 13773875533.
The Ming Tombs are the royal tombs of the Ming Dynasty. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, all emperors of the Ming Dynasty except Ming Daizong have been buried here. So why did the imperial tombs of the Ming Dynasty choose Tianshou Mountain? This is related to the traditional geomantic culture in China.
Feng Shui is a specific culture in China, because it will affect whether people can bring prosperity to their families after death, so both the government and the people attach great importance to it.
Tianshou Mountain was valued by Emperor Yongle, and it was chosen as the imperial tomb here. I think there are several reasons.
First, the formation and momentum of Tianshou Mountain itself.
Tianshou Mountain is located in the north of Changping, about12km away from Changping City. To the south is the basin, guarded by mountain passes on the east and west sides, steep on the top and slow on the bottom, and the terrain is dangerous.
Tianshou Mountain has three main peaks, the middle peak is more than 750 meters above sea level, surrounded by rivers in front of the mountain, with a wide field of vision; Its main peaks and branches, like two human arms, quietly surround the basin and guard it quietly like giants; Behind the mountain, the mountains are towering and mountainous, far away from Taihang Mountain.
Such mountains and geographical location attracted the ancients most.
Second, feng shui master's praise and reference.
"Feng Shui is the most important thing in the mausoleum, and trees should be protected first." The concept of Yin-Yang and Five Elements and the holistic view of geomantic omen are simple action guides for ancient people in China. This is still the case among the people, let alone the royal family.
Therefore, in the eyes of the ancients, the land of the imperial tomb needs to be surrounded by mountains on all sides, and there must be four guards: Zuo Qinglong, You Baihu, Qian Suzaku and Hou Xuanwu. The layout of the mountains and rivers in Tianshou Mountain is like a natural place, which fully conforms to the five elements of Feng Shui.
So, after many explorations, Liao, a famous geomancer in the early Ming Dynasty, put forward the "mountain seal", and Tianshou Mountain naturally became the imperial tomb of Emperor Yongle.
Third, the psychological factors of Emperor Yongle.
Tianshou Mountain was called Huang Tu Mountain before it became the imperial tomb, because there was deep loess at the foot of the mountain.
According to Gu, a famous thinker in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, it was recorded in "Chang Ping Shan Shui" that "the mausoleum is Kangjiazhuang, and there are mounds in the east of Changling to bury the old. Mr. Kang Lao, people were born before the country went abroad. Emperor Wendi did not think of setting up a mountain mausoleum, which read: Peace for the dead, human sympathy! Don't die. " This is a record of Gu's visit to the Ming Tombs in the early Qing Dynasty, which is highly reliable.
The old man who was first buried in Tianshou Mountain is Kang, a native of shisanling town Temple Village in front of Tianshou Mountain today. At that time, Tianshou Mountain was Kangjiazhuang.
Judy's strong and inclusive self-confidence is really rare among feudal emperors. And let the old man named Kang guard the tomb of the emperor named Zhu, doesn't it mean that the Ming Dynasty will always be Yongchang?
Therefore, this psychological suggestion may also be a factor that prompted Emperor Yongle to set the imperial tomb in Tianshou Mountain!
Of course, the Ming Tombs are located in Tianshou Mountain, and the most important reason is that the landscape here conforms to the ancient concept of harmony between man and nature, so among the people, the royal family is no exception!
