Recently, I was watching the TV series "Yongzheng Dynasty" based on Eryuehe's "Sunset Trilogy", which has aroused great interest in the history of the Qing Dynasty, what is the imperial tomb buried after the death of the emperors of the once glorious "Kangqian Prosperous Era"? What kind of history is there, let me give you a brief explanation.
First of all, I would like to tell you about the order of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty so that you can make the content of my next explanation clearer.
Qing Taizu Nurhaci -- Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty -- Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty -- Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty -- Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty -- Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty -- Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty -- Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty -- Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty -- Emperor Muzong of the Qing Dynasty -- Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty .- Emperor Puyi of xuantong
Here I will only talk about the emperors buried in Dongling and Xiling, who were also some of the emperors who were represented in the heyday of the Qing Dynasty. (Nurha chi fu mausoleum Emperor Taiji Zhao Mausoleum, interested friends themselves on the Internet to check the I will not introduce too much, and these emperors basically began to build their own mausoleum before they died, Puyi this kind of halfway was picked up does not count)
Dongling: Xiaoling of Shunzhi, Jingling of Kangxi, Yuling of Qianlong, Dingling of Xianfeng, Huiling of Tongzhi.
Xiling: Yongzheng's Tailing, Jiaqing's Changling, Daoguang's Muling, Guangxu's Chongling Puyi.
Well, this article let's understand the Tanglin
As the name suggests, the Qing Tombs are located 30 kilometers northwest of Zunhua City, Tangshan City, Hebei Province, backed by the Yanshan Mountains, covering an area of 80 square kilometers, and are the largest, most complete and most appropriate imperial tomb complex in China. It was built in the eighteenth year of Shunzhi (1661), and it took a total of 247 years until the completion of the Bodhisattva Yuding Dongling Tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi, a total of 15 large and small.
Shunzhi was the first emperor to enter the customs (that is, the one who was said to be a monk) And the site of the tomb of Xiaoling was chosen by the Shunzhi Emperor before his death. However, due to the continuous wars at the beginning of dingding, the national treasury was empty, and the Shunzhi Emperor was in a young age, he was not in a hurry to build. It was not until the eighteenth year of Shunzhi (1661) that construction began after the death of the Shunzhi Emperor, and by November 19, the third year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1664), the main project was completed
Kangxi's mausoleum is Jingling, which began construction in 1676 and was completed in 1681, when the Kangxi Emperor pioneered the burial of the empress first, and the gates of the underground palace were not closed to await the emperor's precedent.
In order, Tanglin should be Shunzhi, Kangxi, and then Yongzheng, but from Yongzheng this began to stagger, Yongzheng in the early years, originally the Yongzheng Emperor had already determined his ten thousand years of auspicious land in zunhua territory of jiufeng Chaoyang Mountain, and transported a large number of building materials. However, the Yongzheng Emperor abolished it (in the 7th year of Yongzheng) on the pretext that "although the scale is large but the shape is not complete, the soil in the cave is covered with sand and stone", it was restored to Yi County, Hebei Province, under the Taining Mountain, another Zhao domain was built to build the Tailing Tombs. Since then, there have been "Dongling" and "Xiling". (There is also a folk legend here, according to legend, yong is usurping the throne, not personal transmission, so he does not dare to bury it with Lao Tzu.) ）
The Yuling Tomb in Qianlong was built in the eighth year of Qianlong (1743) and completed in the seventeenth year of Qianlong (1752), which lasted 9 years and cost 2.03 million taels of silver. His mausoleum can be said to be the most luxurious, and it also reflects the qianlong emperor's personal will to do great feats and believe in Buddhism, and is also a reflection of the comprehensive national strength of the Qing Dynasty in its heyday.
The Dingling Tomb in Xianfeng was built on April 13, 1859, the ninth year of Xianfeng, and was completed in 7 and a half years around the fifth year of Tongzhi (1866), with a net consumption of 3,134,547 taels of silver. Ping'anyu is located at the westernmost point within the boundaries of the Qing Dynasty.
Although the huiling tomb in Tongzhi is an imperial mausoleum built in the late Qing Dynasty, the wood used is nanju wood, the wood is hard, commonly known as "copper beam iron pillar", so the large wooden structure is well preserved. (Xianfeng was also a mausoleum built after his death, because he hung up too early and was only 19 years old when he left) Guangxu began construction in 1878, which lasted three years and one month, and cost a total of 4.35 million taels of silver.
Well, the Qing Dongling Tomb briefly introduces these, and the next article I will introduce the Qing Xiling Created by Yongzheng
