Recently, Babaoshan Funeral Home held a memorial service, attracting many people to come to mourn. This place, located on the outskirts of Beijing, has once again attracted attention because it has buried many famous people. So why did Babaoshan become the eternal resting place of so many celebrities?
The name Babaoshan is derived from Gang Bing, a eunuch in the early Ming Dynasty. Gang Bing was a close confidant of the emperors Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, and made a lot of contributions to the newborn Daming regime. His resourcefulness and martial arts won Zhu Di's praise, and he was honored as "Gangtie". Unfortunately, he was killed in a campaign, and in the place where he died, the soil turned into eight-colored earth when lightning struck, so Honglu Mountain was renamed Eight Treasure Mountain. Since then, the land has had a special name.
The Babaoshan area is also known for its rich production of various ores, including glass, house tiles, painting, fire bricks and other raw materials. Therefore, this place has attracted many dignitaries to be buried since ancient times.
In 1965, archaeologists discovered the Huafang Tomb of the Western Jin Dynasty near Babaoshan Station, and the cultural relics unearthed were of great value to historical research and art and culture. And in 2000, the tomb of Laoshan Han and the family tomb of Han Yanhui, a heavy minister of the Liao State, were discovered.
Babaoshan is also a treasure trove of feng shui. The ancients believed that the location and layout of the burial tomb would affect the fate of future generations. Feng Shui theory holds that cemeteries need to be "alive" in order for families to prosper. The geographical location of Babaoshan is close to the core area of Beijing, with a beautiful environment and green trees, which meets the requirements of feng shui.
The establishment of the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery was carried out after the founding of New China for the burial of revolutionary martyrs. Countless revolutionaries are rested here, including national leaders, democratic party figures, foreign friends, artists, and so on. Their cemetery became part of the land and survived forever to celebrate heroic deeds for posterity.
The establishment of the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery also has its own unique historical background. After the founding of New China, in order to commemorate the revolutionary martyrs, this cemetery was specially selected and established. Among them, the burial of the founding father Ren Bishi also became the first tomb of the Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery. His sudden death is deeply saddened, but his tomb became the beginning of this special place.
The Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery is not just a cemetery, it carries the revolutionary spirit and sacrifice of countless martyrs. Here, not only the leaders of the country, but also ordinary revolutionaries, who together forged great history. Their stories and spirit will always inspire us, let us remember the past, cherish the present, and strive for the future.
