The burial order of emperors in the Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty and the Western Tombs of the Qing Dynasty
The Eastern Tombs of the Qing Dynasty are buried with Emperor Shunzhi, Emperor Kangxi, Emperor Qianlong, Emperor Xianfeng, and Emperor Tongzhi - a total of 5 Qing emperors, as well as their concubines and their family members, etc., while the Western Tombs of the Qing Dynasty are buried with the Yongzheng Emperor. There were four Qing Dynasty emperors including Emperor Jiaqing, Emperor Daoguang and Emperor Guangxu, as well as princes, princesses, concubines, elder brothers, etc. The Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty was the first to be built, 69 years earlier than the Western Tomb of the Qing Dynasty. The burial order was naturally in accordance with the order of succession of the Qing emperors, as were other concubines and family members.
Everyone knows that the order of succession of emperors in the Qing Dynasty was Huang Taiji, Emperor Shunzhi, Emperor Kangxi, Emperor Yongzheng, Emperor Qianlong, Emperor Jiaqing, Emperor Daoguang, Emperor Xianfeng, Emperor Tongzhi, Emperor Guangxu, and Xuantong. Except for Huang Taiji who was not buried in the Qing Tombs, the other emperors were buried in the Eastern Qing Tombs and the Western Qing Tombs. Huang Taiji was the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty. He proclaimed himself emperor in Shenyang at that time. However, he died suddenly in the 17th year of his reign. Since there was no large-scale construction of a dedicated Qing Dynasty mausoleum at that time, Huang Taiji was buried in Zhaoling, Shenyang. Buried in Qingling Mausoleum.
The construction of the Qing Tomb began with Emperor Shunzhi, the son of Huang Taiji, so emperors after Emperor Shunzhi were buried one by one in the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty. During the Yongzheng period, Emperor Yongzheng felt that the Feng Shui of the land of the Western Qing Tomb was very good, so he began to build the Western Qing Mausoleum. That is, starting from the Yongzheng Emperor, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty were buried alternately, one was buried in the east and the other was buried in the west. . The most special thing here should be Xuantong, the last Qing emperor, who was Puyi.
When Puyi ascended the throne, the Qing Dynasty was already approaching its end. By the time he died, it was already the New China era. At first he was buried in Babao Mountain, and later he was remembered as the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty. He was moved and buried to the royal cemetery of Emperor Guangxu's mausoleum in the Western Mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty.
