Imperial tombs, this can be regarded as a more important part of the ancient culture. In today's society, the most impressive to us is the Ming Tombs, as well as the Qing Xi Mausoleum and so on. But in fact, the Northern Song Dynasty also had an imperial tomb, and in that place, there were seven emperors and the ancient tombs of many Northern Song ministers. Originally, the mausoleums of these many emperors should be a noble one, but the imperial tombs of the Northern Song Dynasty were not only unappreciated, but also not famous in the eyes of future generations.

The Imperial Tomb of the Northern Song Dynasty is located in Gongyi, and this place was chosen by Song Taizu after succeeding to the throne! For the Song Dynasty, this place was very good at feng shui, with Mount Tai on one side and the Yellow River on the other, which, according to the Tang Dynasty, was a proper mountain and water. However, what Song Taizu did not expect was that the address he set would actually cause the later Northern Song Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum to suffer huge losses.
In the imperial tombs of the Northern Song Dynasty, a total of seven emperors were buried, and it is reasonable to say that such a place should be able to receive a lot of protection. But for the weak Song Dynasty, it was very difficult to take care of it. During the Jing kang rebellion, the imperial tombs of the Northern Song Dynasty were very badly damaged. What's more, the bones of the emperor who were buried in it have been discarded in various places. Because of the destruction of the imperial tomb this time, Yue Fei also led troops to this place to fight against the Jin army. But at that time, the Southern Song Dynasty really had no way to protect it all the time, so it was destroyed for a long time.
Moreover, in addition to the destruction of the Jin Army, the destruction of the tomb robbers to the imperial tombs of the Song Dynasty was also very large. Because the imperial tombs of the Song Dynasty were all sealed with soil, the method of relying on mountains as mausoleums was not carried out according to the methods of Qin Shi Huang and the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, in this place where the site can be seen through, the crisis he suffered can be imagined.
In addition, the emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty did not have the habit of presetting mausoleums, and generally dug a burrow after death and then buried. Then, in the Song Dynasty, there was another rule, that is, after the emperor died seven months later, he must be buried, otherwise it would not be good for them, so the burial of the Song Dynasty was relatively hasty, and their tombs were also very rough.
Tell me, how can such a Northern Song Dynasty imperial tomb be preserved after such a war-torn era? Although there is still a museum about the imperial tombs of the Northern Song Dynasty in Gongyi today, there are not as many cultural relics as we think. More often, we can only feel the majesty of the Northern Song Dynasty's imperial tombs from the stone carvings there. An emperor's mausoleum, but in the change of the world, has become a crop field, everything in this is very lamentable!
