Because the emperors of the Song Dynasty were very frugal, the tombs were naturally very simple. In fact, there was nothing at all. Moreover, they had learned from the lessons of the previous emperors. The magnificent imperial tombs would only attract tomb robbers. It would be bad if even the bones were turned over and turned into a mess. Therefore, according to the system of the Song Dynasty, the construction of the emperor's tomb could only begin after the emperor's death, and the construction time was very short and had to be completed in less than three months. Therefore, compared to other dynasties, all the imperial tombs were built when the emperor was in power, and the scale is really incomparable.
But relatively speaking, the imperial tombs of the Song Dynasty are less likely to be robbed, so the tombs of the Song Dynasty are the simplest. However, contrary to expectations, very few imperial tombs of the Song Dynasty have been preserved. The mausoleum system of the Northern Song Dynasty was inherited from the Tang Dynasty, but the cemeteries of the Song Dynasty were built on flat land, while the mausoleums of the Tang Dynasty were built on mountains. The tombs of the Song Dynasty were relatively concentrated and crowded together, but their scale was worse than that of the Tang Dynasty. The main reason for this is that the construction time of the cemetery was hasty and short.
This is the system of the Northern Song Dynasty. There are sacred walls around the mausoleum and a sacred gate in the middle of the sacred wall. The bedroom is generally located to the north and west of the mausoleum. Feng shui was popular in the Song Dynasty. It was believed that the two directions "Ren and Bing" are suitable for Boss Zhao's house, and Ren is the place. The Southern Song Dynasty was relatively pitiful. The ancestral cemetery was lost and he could only be buried shallowly. He planned to bury it back to the north when the rivers and mountains were recovered. Therefore, the cemeteries of the Southern Song Dynasty did not even have stone carvings.
