The mainland is known as a big country in infrastructure construction, and almost no one is invincible in terms of building bridges and roads, and we dare to say second, and no one dares to call it first. This tradition has been around since ancient times!
As early as ancient times, the mainland is a world-famous infrastructure power, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, Qinyang Road, etc., in the modern era where science and technology are so developed, they are all very huge projects, but in the history of the mainland, the construction of buildings, there is such a largest rotten project in the history of the mainland, let's take a look.
This is known as the largest rotten project in Chinese history, which is known as the first monument in the world. It is located on the south side of the slope of Yangshan in Jiangning District, Nanjing, and from the bottom of Yangshan, a glimpse of the yangshan mountain brings in a huge stone stele, which is 78 meters high and weighs up to 31,176 tons.
Let's first talk about its history, the Yangshan stele was built by Ming Chengzu Zhu Di to commemorate the merits of his father Zhu Yuanzhang. But why did it become the biggest rotten project in the history of the mainland?
If you think about it, it is actually not difficult to find the answer, because it is a huge project to transport such a high and heavy stone from other places to Nanjing, even if you try your best to transport it to Nanjing, but how can you make it stand up?
Even today, such a huge project can hardly be realized, let alone in ancient times, so the era of underdeveloped science and technology has come.
In fact, if you look at history, you will know that Zhu Di did not intend to erect this Yangshan stele, which is known as the first monument in the world, he robbed his nephew's Jiangshan at that time, and he snatched it by force, so his name is not justified.
In order to win the hearts and minds of the people, he built a large number of civil engineering projects and praised the merits of his father Zhu Yuanzhang, so as to buy people's hearts, pacify the world, and firmly grasp the Country and Mountains of Daming in his own hands.
It is said that when this Yangshan monument was built at that time, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di used nearly 100,000 workers to build it, of which as many as 3,000 workers died because of this, who died and were injured, and finally these projects were not completed and shelved.
However, today, Yangshan in Jiangning District, Nanjing has been developed, and tourists who come here are also endless, all want to see what the stone stele known as the world's first monument looks like, although he is the largest rotten project in the history of the mainland, but because of our wisdom, she will be newly packaged, and what is displayed in front of people's eyes is a new Yangshan stele.
If you go to Nanjing again, will you still go to see this Yangshan monument?
Well, I'll introduce you here today, and the next issue of Outstanding World will take you to more interesting places!
