introduction:
Throughout the 5,000 years of China's history, there have been many wise monarchs, and there have been many prosperous and prosperous, but no amount of prosperity can withstand time. Time flies, and those once glorious years have become the memories of the years. Zhang Yanghao wrote in "Hillside Sheep Tong Cares for the Ancients": Sadly, the Qin and Han Dynasties were all made of soil. Thinking about how magnificent the Qin Palace was in those days, it has long since become a pile of dirt, which shows the cruelty of history.
In the 21st century, we live in a liberal and democratic society. When people think back to those ancient monarchs, they feel that they are far away from us, but there are still some emperors and generals who have not been erased in history, and posterity also likes to listen to these historical stories. When the tombs were excavated by the royal family, many historical stories were revealed to us. Among the many royal tombs, there is one of the most cattle ancestral tombs in China, where the descendants have produced 16 emperors. Not only that, no one here has ever dared to steal, even the high-speed rail has to go around, which dynasty's mausoleum is this? In fact, this is the Ming Emperor's Mausoleum.
Zhu Yuanzhang's bumpy life
Zhu Yuanzhang is a grass farmer, although he once worked as a beggar, but Zhu Yuanzhang's life has appeared many miracles and opportunities, he is relying on his extraordinary fighting spirit, became the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang's life is full of legendary colors, some descendants even add legendary colors to Zhu Yuanzhang, and even rumors that the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was able to ascend to the throne smoothly stemmed from the good feng shui of his ancestral tomb, and some people called the ancestral tomb of Zhu Yuanzhang's family "the most cattle ancestral tomb".
Zhu Yuanzhang's life was not smooth, he was originally a poor child, and he had experienced the bittersweet and bittersweet of the world. When Zhu Yuanzhang was a child, there were many children in his family, just in time for the famine, so that the food and clothing of Zhu Yuanzhang's family became a problem: if you want to "eat well and wear warmly", it is a very luxurious thing. When the famine came, Zhu Yuanzhang's father starved to death, and then added a burden to the entire family. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's family had no financial resources, and Zhu Yuanzhang had no money to bury his father, so there was a rumor in the street.
At that time, Zhu Yuanzhang had no money, only able to bury his father in situ, but he did not expect that the originally clear sky suddenly began to rain heavily, Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that he was rained and could not afford the heavy medical expenses, so he put his father's grass mat aside and came to the pavilion next to him to temporarily shelter from the rain. Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a sudden burst of rain, which swept away all the dirt and stones, including the body of Zhu Yuanzhang's father.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that this was Providence, so he buried his father here, and then Zhu Yuanzhang's life changed. At first, Zhu Yuanzhang also became a monk due to bad luck, and even begged for food as a beggar, although the experience in the early years was full of bitterness, but this was the cornerstone of Zhu Yuanzhang's success. During this period, Zhu Yuanzhang wandered around and suffered from the cold and warmth of the human world, so he decided to join the uprising, and finally ended his wandering life.
The ancestral tomb of the most cattle in China: it is better to spend 230 million more than to keep the tomb of the Ming Emperor
In the rebel army, Zhu Yuanzhang showed extraordinary bravery and determination, and soon received attention and won everyone's likes, and many people were willing to make friends with Zhu Yuanzhang. In this way, it also makes Zhu Yuanzhang's life path more smooth. Subsequently, Zhu Yuanzhang became the leader of the team and called himself "King Wu". After becoming king, Zhu Yuanzhang's first thought was to move his father's grave.
Although this is a very filial idea, there was once a person who had seen feng shui for Zhu Yuanzhang's father's ancestral grave and felt that this was a treasure land of feng shui that could make Zhu Yuanzhang succeed. Zhu Yuanzhang, like many people, believed in feng shui very much, so he did not move the ancestral tomb for his father, but expanded and repaired the original site, and built a tomb covering an area of more than 20,000 acres for his father, which later became the ancestral tomb of the Zhu family, which is often referred to as the Ming Emperor's mausoleum.
After that, all the descendants of the Zhu family, including Zhu Yuanzhang, were buried here, which caused the situation of 16 emperors of the Ming Dynasty gathering in the ming emperor's mausoleum, and it was called "the ancestral tomb of the most cattle in China". At the same time, because the design of the mausoleum is very complicated, it is difficult for tomb robbers to enter and exit, so no one comes here to steal the tomb, which is a very complete royal mausoleum that has been preserved so far. Due to the special terrain here, even when the Beijing-Shanghai railway is built, the high-speed rail must make way for it.
Su Shi wrote in "Nian Nu Jiao Chibi Huaigu": "The great river goes east, the waves are exhausted, and the characters of the ancient winds and currents ... The country is picturesque, and there are many heroes at a time. In the vast history, there are countless heroes, and now these wise monarchs and heroes are no longer there, but their tombs have immeasurable value, so the country would rather spend 230 million more to preserve the Ming Emperor's mausoleum, which is not only a respect for the Ming Emperor, but also the protection of historical relics.
