Zhu Quan
Dream Mountain Stone House to pick up old dreams
Zhu Quan was the seventeenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, the ming emperor, and was born a gentleman, with a beautiful demeanor and a wise heart, and Zhu Yuanzhang loved him alone. When Zhu Quan was young, he held a position of great power and outstanding military ability, but later he was discouraged and placed his trust in the publication and the Immortal Dao. First proud, then frustrated, throughout his life, like a dream of Nanke. Such a legendary prince, his home is in Nanchang Mengshan.
Zhu Quan's fiefdom of Ningguo was present-day Ningcheng, Inner Mongolia. His excellence, there is no shortage of historical records. Jiao's "Records of Dedication" said: "Born with a beautiful posture, white, beautiful beard, and wisdom and enlightenment." He called himself a Great Ming Qishi, a scholar of Bogu, and his books were omniscient. In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, the 16-year-old Zhu Quan was ordered to enter the Daning Province of the domain. According to the "History of Ming", Daning "connected liaozuo in the east and Xuanfu in the west" and was a military "giant town". During the Daning period, Zhu Quan had 80,000 armored soldiers and 6,000 chariots, and the Duoyan Three Guards cavalry were all brave and good at war. He met the kings many times to fight in the jam, and was known for his strategic skills. Zhu Quan not only participated in the military campaign against the remnants of the Yuan and Mongolian forces, but also "frugally controlled the country, planted trees in gardens, ordered the guards to manage the wilderness, art and planted soil, and used Rao Yu for the state", making Daning one of the important barriers in the northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty.
During the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Quan was kidnapped by Zhu Di, the King of Yan, and jointly rebelled against Emperor Jianwen. After Zhu Di ascended to the throne, he changed Zhu Quan's title to Nanchang and persecuted him, and Zhu Quan had no choice but to place his heart on Taoism, drama, literature, and music. At the age of 25, Zhu Quan built the essence of the Tao of Learning at the peak of the Xishan Mountains in changbei, and often interacted with literati and scholars. He has written dozens of books such as "The Secret History of the Han and Tang Dynasties". He is the author of the Guqin song collection "Magical Secret Score", "Qionglin Yayun", and the Northern Qu Score and review monograph "Taihe Zhengyin Spectrum". There are 12 kinds of miscellaneous dramas that are known today, and there are two kinds of existing ones, "Da Luo Tian" and "Elopement". The Taoist monograph has 8 volumes of the "Emperor to Dao Taiqing Jade Book", which contains the "Continuation of the Daozang". Zhu Quan also authored a volume of "Tea Recipes" that had a profound influence on Chinese tea culture.
Zhu Quan's tomb is located at the foot of Mengshan Lingling in the newly built area of Nanchang City, which is the largest Ming Dynasty underground tomb in Jiangxi and is now a key cultural relics protection unit at the provincial level in Jiangxi. In front of the tomb, there was originally the "Antarctic Immortal Palace", which was given to Zhu Di, and there was the South Pole Hall in front, the Taiyuan Hall and the Chong Xiao Tower on the left, and the Xuanjie Hall and the Lingjiang Tower on the right. In front of the palace, there is a drunken pavilion and a pair of 6.9-meter-high octagonal chinese watches with Taoist seals engraved on them.
Hidden in the mountains, the tomb is made of green bricks, with a total length of 31.7 meters, a width of 21.45 meters, and a height of 4.5 meters, which is divided into four parts: the front room, the second front room, the middle room and the back room. The front room is covered with "tap stones", and there is no "tap stone" in the second door. After the middle room, there is a rolling door through the back room. There is a niche in the middle of the back wall, flanked by eight prisms made of red stone, with a foundation under the pillar, a square on the base, and a bucket arch on the square to support the eaves.
Because Zhu Quan learned the Tao in his later years, when he died, he wore a Daoist robe into the funeral, containing one coin in his mouth, and two lines of gold, 6 pieces in each row. Other funerary items include gold, silver, copper, tin, jade, porcelain and other utensils and a guqin, some of which have been collected by the Palace Museum, and the rest are stored in the Jiangxi Provincial Museum.
Descendants of Zhu Quan settled near zuling to form a village, namely Huangyuan Village, Shibu Town, Xinjian County (present-day Xinjian District). In 1958, when archaeologists excavated Zhu Quan's tomb, Zhu Quan's descendants donated the Family Tree of the King of Ning, the Genealogy of the Eight Branches of the Zhu Clan, which is now in the Jiangxi Provincial Museum.
Chen Wenhua, a professor at the Jiangxi Academy of Social Sciences, once conceived: to slightly repair the tomb of King Ning, restore buildings such as the Hall of Eternal Life in Antarctica, cultural relics of the tomb of King Chen Lenin, and Zhu Quan's calligraphy and paintings. This will be an excellent "Ningwang Tourism Route".
