People in ancient China were superstitious about Feng Shui, especially those who were tall, such as the emperor. They don't just find a place to build a tomb, but they have to show them Feng Shui through top Feng Shui magicians, choose an address, and then plan the tomb. Ancient people pursued consciousness, but scientific thought was not strong. Some of them even think that what they were born with can be taken away after death. Qin Shihuang is a typical representative. He built his own imperial mausoleum and underground palace. What we are going to talk about today is not Qin Shihuang, but Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. His tomb is called the best ancestral grave in China, and there are 16 emperors in the descendants. So far, no one dares to steal his tomb, and the high-speed rail has to detour.
As we all know, Zhu Yuanzhang was not born in a noble family, but only a poor peasant family. He grew up from a poor family, but there were many children at home, so Zhu Yuanzhang's life was very difficult since he was a child. Later, natural disasters came, everyone failed to harvest, and there was a famine in Zhu Yuanzhang's place. At this time, when my father died, the pillar of the family fell and life became more difficult.
Later, I also lived in exile, worked as a monk and begged along the street for a living. Wandering life lasted for a long time. After his father died, he needed to be buried. His family is too poor to repair his father's grave. It's just a roll of straw mats, which shows that he has lived in poverty since childhood. When he buried his father, a very coincidence happened. It rained heavily, so he went to the temple to take shelter from the rain. But the mud washed down by the heavy rain covered his father's body. He thought it was God's will, so he buried his father in that place. This place became the ancestral tomb of Ming Dynasty.
After wandering for a long time, he joined the rebels. In the army, Zhu Yuanzhang's performance was very popular with everyone, which laid the foundation for him to become an emperor later. With Zhu Yuanzhang's continuous efforts, he became a general, which is a small achievement. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's first thought was to move his father's grave, hoping that he could bury his father in a beautiful way, which showed his filial piety.
When Zhu Yuanzhang put forward this idea, he also showed his father's grave to Mr. Feng Shui, so Mr. Feng Shui stopped his idea of moving his father's grave. His father's tomb is very feng shui, which is also a blessing for his promotion and wealth. So Zhu Yuanzhang gave up the idea of moving the grave, but expanded some places where his father was buried and became the ancestral grave of Zhujiajian Island.
In the history of China, the Ming Dynasty lasted for so many years, but the location of Zhu Guzhu's tomb never changed, so the emperors were buried in this tomb. I know that the Ming Dynasty lasted for a long time, and there were 16 emperors in Zhujiajian. Among the emperors of past dynasties, this is not a small number, but it is very spectacular, and the title of the most cattle ancestral grave was born.
There are 16 emperors buried in Ming Taizu Mausoleum, and their value is naturally immeasurable, so many grave robbers are eyeing this place. However, until today, this tomb has not been successfully stolen by grave robbers, and there are still many institutional designs in it, so that grave robbers have only a thief's heart and no thief's courage. The Ming Taizu Mausoleum has been well preserved, and it was deliberately bypassed when the railway was built in China, which shows its importance.
