The Princess Tomb is located in the pine and cypress of the street garden outside Fuxingmen Outer Street in Beijing. In 1997, Taiwanese writer and film and television producer Qiong Yao came to Beijing for tourism, and happened to pass by the Princess Tomb, and this peculiar place name suddenly attracted Qiong Yao. She began to inquire about the situation of the princess's tomb, and the accompanying person simply said that during the Qing Dynasty, a girl from the people was considered a righteous daughter by the Qianlong Emperor, and after her death, she was buried in the "Princess Tomb" under the name of "Gege".
Look at the huge roundabout outside the window, there is an overpass to cover, there is a subway shuttle, and it is rare to retain a leisurely green pine and cypress in the middle of the bustle, and the green grass in the green, which seems to lurk in the ancient humor and if there is no account. What kind of personality and appearance did the girl who was buried here have? What are the secrets under the title of "Gege"... Such a simple legend provided Qiong Yao with endless inspiration, allowing her to create the "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" that was popular all over the country. Of course, everyone knows that the story of Huan Zhu gege is fictional. However, the princess buried in the tomb is indeed a real princess.
As early as 1965, when the subway was built, the cultural relics department carried out archaeological excavations of the princess tomb, and with reference to historical data, it was verified that Princess Zhuang Jing and Shuo, who were buried on the east side of the princess tomb, were the third daughter of the Jiaqing Emperor, born in December of the forty-sixth year of Qianlong (1781). She married the Mongol prince Sotnam dobji in November of the sixth year of Jiaqing (1801). The sixteenth year of Jiaqing (1811). Buried to the west is Princess Zhuang Jinggulun, the fourth daughter of the Jiaqing Emperor, born in the forty-ninth year of Qianlong (1784). In the seventh year of Jiaqing (1802), she married the king of Manibadara County in the Tumut tribe of Mongolia. Jiaqing died in May of the sixteenth year (1811) at the age of 28.
Because of the ancestral system of the Qing Dynasty, after the princess married, she was not allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum after death, nor could she enter the cemetery of the in-laws, and another tomb had to be built, so there were many princess tombs in the suburbs of Beijing, and some places are still called princess tombs. Because Princess Heshuo and Princess Gulun died in the same year, they were buried in one place. The cemetery of the Princess Tomb originally had ground buildings such as walls, yimen, and halls, and was widely planted with ancient pines, ancient cypresses, national locusts, ginkgo biloba and other trees around and inside, which looked antique. The underground palace is masonry and very sturdy. Funerary items include weapons, Mongolian knives, jewelry and silk.
In addition, the Beijing area has buried hundreds of princesses in the past, in addition to the princess tomb at the intersection of the West Third Ring Road of Fuxing Road in Beijing, which triggered Qiong Yao's unlimited creative inspiration, there are many princess tombs in Beijing, such as:
Fangshan District Princess Tomb: Belongs to Fangshan District Big Comfrey Wuxiang. Buried here is Princess Yong'an, the eldest daughter of Ming Chengzu. Princess Tomb of Caofang Village, Chaoyang District: Buried are the fourteenth daughter of Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty and Princess Chunchang of Shuoluo. She was the only daughter of the emperor in the Qing Dynasty to marry a Han Chinese, and her husband was Wu Yingxiong, the son of Wu Sangui. Later, Wu Sangui plotted a rebellion, and Wu Yingxiong and his son Shi Lin were reprimanded. Because the princess was the aunt of the Kangxi Emperor, she was specially thanked by the Kangxi Emperor. She lived to be 63 years old and was buried in the north of present-day Caofang Village.
