What shape are the Ming Tombs?

The shape of the Ming Tombs is similar to that of the Ming Tombs, and there is a straight central axis in the mausoleum area, that is, Shinto. There is a huge stone workshop in front of the main entrance, which was built in the 19th year of Jiajing (1540) and has been well preserved so far. Its shape is five rooms, six columns and eleven floors, with a width of 29 meters and a height of about 15 meters. The column is engraved with Yunlong relief, and the upper part is decorated with reclining animal sculpture. The stone archway is made of large white marble and is a high-grade building. Entering the archway is about 1 km, which is the gate of the cemetery, that is, the gate of the grand palace with red walls and yellow tiles. There are three openings in it. There is a horse monument on each side, which reads "I will dismount here". In the Ming Dynasty, the "Regulations on the Prohibition of Mausoleums" stipulated that those who stole into the Mausoleum to collect firewood and break wood were flogged, those who took soil and stones were beheaded, those who entered the Mausoleum were given a hundred sticks, and those who took chariots and horses were dismounted a hundred paces away. Otherwise, they will be considered disrespectful. A hill to the east of the gate of the Grand Palace is called Mangshan; There is a hill in the west called Huyu Mountain. This is the so-called "left green dragon, right white tiger" in Feng Shui. Mangshan symbolizes Qinglong, and the roaring tiger is a white tiger. Inside the palace gate, the axis is bent because of the mountain. The first is the stele pavilion, whose four corners are inlaid with China watches, which are similar in shape to those in front of Tiananmen Square, symbolizing that the emperor still enjoys supreme status in the underworld. The stone tablet in the pavilion is more than three feet high, which was erected by the Ming emperor Chengzu and engraved with the "Monument to the Divine Power of Daming Changling". The inscription is over 3,000 words. The back of the tablet is a poem "Mourning the Thirty Rhymes of the Ming Tombs" written by Emperor Qianlong of Qing Dynasty.
