In the past, the world belonged to the royal family, so the best place in the world must also belong to the royal family. Yongzheng, the third generation emperor of the Qing Dynasty, braved the crime of unfilial and set up another mausoleum in Yixian County, far from Dongling. In fact, he took a fancy to the feng shui of Xiling. Because for these feudal emperors, "the prosperity of the earth pulse is related to the birthplace of heaven." In other words, the quality of feng shui is related to the rise and fall of national luck.
How good is the geomantic omen in Qing Xiling? In Qing Dynasty, the geomantic master evaluated it as "the land where Gankun gathers beauty and where Yin and Yang meet". Yongning Mountain is towering from southwest to northeast, forming a tall and majestic natural barrier in the north, blocking the cold wind in the north and welcoming the sunshine and warm airflow in the south. The mausoleum is surrounded by mountains and has its own caves, forming a paradise away from the noise. North Yishui in front of the mausoleum has a gentle flow and twists and turns from northwest to southeast. The more beautiful Zhong Ling is, the more angry she is.
Sun Dinglie, a Qing Dynasty man, once described the beauty of Xiling Mountain in "A Journey to Yongning Mountain": "(Yongning Mountain) is out of Taihang Mountain, towering and full of beautiful pulse. The mountains are heavy and the hills are far away, and the Lingyan is green. During the sanitary period, there are countless laid-off mounds, like a finger in your hand. Every two hills are flat and open, and the tombs are among the clouds and flowers.
Conclusion: As one of the world's cultural heritages, the excellence of the Qing Xiling Mausoleum lies in its architectural concept and style of "harmony between man and nature". According to the geomantic theory of ancient architecture, a large number of buildings were cleverly placed underground, which was the product of human changing nature, embodied the traditional architectural and decorative ideas, and interpreted the world outlook and power view of the feudal dynasty that lasted for thousands of years.
