When traveling, people may wonder why the mausoleum has become a tourist attraction for people to watch.
As we all know, there has been the idea of being buried underground as a waiter to wait for death since ancient times. Tombs are no longer a simple custom, but a culture. With the rise of tomb culture, tombs have also been upgraded to become the product of human history.
Mausoleum architecture directly shows us the architectural level and style of different dynasties, and also reflects people's living environment, religious beliefs and life needs at that time, which has extremely high artistic value and historical and cultural value.
In particular, the imperial mausoleum, magnificent buildings, rich cultural relics buried with the dead and beautiful environment have strong tourist attraction.
Understandably, the mausoleum has high historical and literary value, scientific and artistic value, and beautiful landscape.
Influenced by the concept of death, the ancients usually accompanied a large number of funerary objects, which often included precious documents and ancient books, as well as production tools, weapons, utensils, musical instruments, decorations, food, textiles, medicines, ceramics, lacquerware, gold and silver wares, paintings, sculptures, pearls and jade articles, plant seeds and so on. Some of these funerary objects can be said to have disappeared, and these funerary objects are extremely important evidence to understand the social situation, production level, literature and art, and the development level of science and technology at that time.
There will also be some excellent literary works in the tomb. The funerary objects in tombs of past dynasties can not only enrich the art field, but also let modern people appreciate the art thousands of years ago and the artistic life of the ancients.
In addition, the mausoleum building also has indispensable value. Through mausoleum architecture, sculpture, painting and unearthed cultural relics, we can understand the production level and scientific and technological development level at that time, and understand the social situation and literature and art of that era. The cultural relics unearthed from tombs of different dynasties are the epitome of thousands of years of civilization history in this country, which provides valuable information for the study of history.
In addition, tombs that can become scenic spots are influenced by Feng Shui theory, and their geographical locations are generally built in places with beautiful natural environment. In particular, the site selection of the Mausoleum pays attention to the fact that the mountains are surrounded by water, and the mountains require beautiful mountains, beautiful waters and beautiful natural environment.
To sum up, a mausoleum as a scenic spot can make people appreciate the ancient culture, architecture, history and other values, and some cultural relics and mausoleum buildings can make people appreciate the ingenuity of the ancients.
So how do we go to see a mausoleum scenic spot? First, when we go to see a mausoleum scenic spot, we must first appreciate its scale, architecture and momentum, and appreciate its grand scale, magnificent architecture and momentum.
Second, appreciate the historical, cultural, scientific and artistic value of the funerary objects in ancient tombs. Each tomb scenic spot is equipped with a large number of precious funerary objects. Through these funerary objects, we can understand the production level and scientific and technological development level at that time, as well as its unique cultural and historical value.
Third, look at the landscape where the mausoleum is located. However, the geographical location of the mausoleum scenic spots has certain particularity. There are countless water tombs around the mountain. Watch the whole mausoleum scenic spot, appreciate the natural ability of nature and experience the architectural ingenuity of the ancients.
The profoundness of China culture deserves our investigation, and the funeral history and culture also deserve people's appreciation and taste, so the mausoleum also plays an extremely important role in tourism.
What mausoleum do you want to see? Everyone who becomes a scenic spot is important in history and famous in the world. For example, the tombs of the royalty of various dynasties are magnificent and represent the characteristics of their times. Visiting as a scenic spot helps people understand their human history and see what is worth learning. There are also heroes of various dynasties and periods as scenic spots for people to visit, so that people can remember their epic deeds and serve as examples for people to learn. No ordinary people's mausoleum is visited as a scenic spot, because there are too many ordinary people, so it will not be used as a scenic spot.
This problem starts from two aspects. First, the meaning of mausoleum refers to the mausoleum of emperors and princes. Now refers to the grave of a leader or martyr.
Then one of the traditions of our Chinese nation is to worship our ancestors to express our nostalgia and admiration for them. Going to the grave, also known as sweeping the grave, is one of the activities to worship ancestors. There are many festivals to worship ancestors in China. Tomb-Sweeping Day is a traditional festival in China, and it is also the most important festival to worship ancestors and sweep graves. There are many places in China that pay attention to grave-sweeping, usually on the anniversary of death, the fifteenth day of the first month, Tomb-Sweeping Day, the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month, the first day of the tenth lunar month and the third day of the first lunar month. The younger generation should prepare daily necessities (including cigarettes, wine, steamed buns, incense, paper money, firecrackers, wreaths, etc.). ) used to sacrifice in front of the tomb of the deceased to show the feelings of future generations to the older generation.
The emperor and the prince were the most respected figures in ancient times. We are also called descendants of the Chinese people. To put it bluntly, it is equivalent to ancestor worship. If it wasn't a tourist attraction, would you go for a walk in the mausoleum?
Three forms of ancestor worship in popular science;
The first is a more common way, that is, it is held in the ancestral grave (usually the village grave), commonly known as "going to the grave". The time is mainly the anniversary of death and traditional major festivals (except Mid-Autumn Festival), such as New Year's Eve, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Mid-Autumn Festival (July 15), 10/day, June 1 day, etc. The men in the family bring sacrificial incense paper to the grave, place sacrifices and water wine, then burn paper, burn incense, drink a libation, salute, and press paper on the grave. The custom of going to the grave is the most solemn, especially in Tomb-Sweeping Day. The morning before, we would "add soil" to our ancestral graves to show the prosperity of our family. In most rural families, sons have to go to the grave when they get married, which means telling their ancestors that their sons have a family and a large population. In addition, at the dawn of the seventh day after death, the family went to the grave to pay homage and mourn, which was called the "seventh base". After that, it is once every seven days, usually after the May 7th, and there are also bases to the July 7th. On the100th day after death, relatives and children prepare sacrifices to pay homage, which is called Baixiang. Some people used to put cash cows, cartons and paper cabinets on graves, but now they just burn some paper money.
The second kind is family sacrifice: instead of going to the grave, or going to the grave at the same time, a memorial tablet or genealogy map with direct ancestors written on it is sacrificed in the main hall or "family temple", and the whole family or the whole people sacrifice together. The ceremony at home is called "inviting the family to the hall", which is very solemn. In our village, the sacrifice spectrum is presided over by the oldest person in the family, and it is usually carried out at the same time as the continuation spectrum during the Chinese New Year. In recent decades, due to the implementation of cremation, cemeteries have become common, and grave sweeping is also carried out in cemeteries.
The third type is remote sacrifice: also called "please", because of the bad weather, you can't go out or go to the cemetery to worship in person, so you can set up an altar at home or in a nearby field, hold incense in the direction of the ancestral cemetery in your hometown, and invite your ancestors to enjoy the sacrifice.
The present mausoleum has become a scenic spot because modern people have built it into a cemetery and combined it with the landscape. The cemetery has become a lush forest, with birds and flowers, and more pavilions. Therefore, it has become a scenic spot for viewing and leisure.
I think this question can be answered by two points:
The main body of the imperial tomb was unearthed
Terracotta Army
2. Commemorate celebrities. Take Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in Nanjing as an example. Dr. Sun Yat-sen is a pioneer of modern revolutionary movement in China. He worked hard for China all his life and created modern China, which is commemorated by all China people. Visiting his mausoleum, paying tribute to his statue and remembering his deeds can inspire future generations to forge ahead courageously and unite the national and patriotic hearts of China people!
Of course, the so-called peaches and plums are self-evident, and everyone yearns for them. Naturally, more people will visit.
Mausoleum is a quiet place, otherwise, the word:: (rest in peace) will not be used.
In my opinion, there are two main reasons why many mausoleums become scenic spots:
First, the mausoleum is often located in the scenic area, with mountains and water, and is often called a treasure trove of feng shui. Beautiful scenery, strong ornamental, with the basic conditions to become a scenic spot.
Second, and more importantly, famous tombs such as Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum and Ming Mausoleum represent profound history and culture. The protagonists of these famous tombs are often emperors and princes of different dynasties. Through the main tombs, we can learn about the things used by the protagonists, the living environment and the buildings built, as well as the current situation of social development at that time.
Through the mausoleum, we can feel the distant history and the stories of the people behind it. For example, we can learn from it what extraordinary things the hero did before his death, what sacrifices or changes he made for something, and so on. From this dimension, this coincides with the meaning of places of interest.
Generally speaking, we go to a scenic spot, on the one hand, to enjoy the beautiful scenery, on the other hand, we also hope to enjoy it.
Local customs, and the mausoleum is a very good carrier to understand local customs and explore history and culture.
To sum up, no matter from the beauty of the scenic spot or the exploration value of history and culture, the mausoleum has the basic conditions to become a scenic spot.
In fact, the tomb and the ancient house are the same thing: they were all lived by dignitaries or court nobles at that time;
One is for the dead.
One is for the living.
Since the ancient places have become 5A scenic spots in modern times, the tombs where the ancient dead lived should also be hung with modern A-level scenic spots.
Large tombs and ancient buildings in ancient times all contain cultural heritage and archaeological value.
Now the cemetery is built like a scenic spot, with pavilions, pines and cypresses, weeping willows in the shade, birds and flowers. If you don't look at the words "rest garden, cemetery" written on the lintel, you can't see it is a cemetery at all. You think it's a park. Go further and you will find rows of tombstones in good order. At this time, you will be shocked and leave quickly, for fear of disturbing the rest of the dead. In fact, I went in by mistake once, because this cemetery is very close to the scenic spot. When I came out of the scenic spot, I was secretly glad that I had found new shooting material without blowing off the dust. When I went in, I was crossing a straight and wide cement road with trees on both sides. At first I thought it was a temple or a Taoist temple. Walking to the archway, I carefully looked at the four-character fairyland on earth. Two tall colored plastic statues stood inside, 500 meters apart. Then I looked at the tombstones on the left and right, touched my nose and strode back without looking back. This is my personal experience of straying into the cemetery. Therefore, it doesn't take much to turn a cemetery into a scenic spot. Changing the brand is a scenic spot.
Mausoleums that can become tourist attractions are either ancient emperors and generals, cultural celebrities and dignitaries, or modern revolutionary pioneers and advanced elements from all walks of life. So it has become a tourist attraction for the following reasons.
First, the economic function. China has a long history and has made exquisite artifacts. The ancients paid attention to thick burial, so the tomb is equipped with exquisite porcelain, exquisite calligraphy and painting, priceless metals and finely carved stone carvings. Everyone is curious. In order to satisfy people's curiosity, the government allows tourists to visit the cemetery, which not only charges entrance fees, but also promotes the local economy through the living expenses of tourists such as food, drink, housing and transportation. For example, visit Xixia Mausoleum.
Secondly, the cultural function. The calligraphy, painting, porcelain, utensils and utensils buried with him recorded the science and technology, medicine, art and system of the society at that time with words and patterns. After professional interpretation, visitors can have a deeper understanding and play a building block role in the protection of traditional culture and traditions. For example, visit the Han tombs and the Tang tombs.
3 then educational function. Visiting the mausoleum, through the interpretation of professionals, will have certain positive significance to the talents, personality, efforts, contributions to the prosperity, peace and stability of the country and patriotic education of visitors. Such as visiting Kong Lin.
