How to park sourdrang queen coffin in 37 years?
Empress Xiaozhuangwen's coffin was parked in the temporary Anfeng Hall on April 19th in the 27th year of Kangxi (1688), and was officially buried in the underground palace on December 10th in the 3rd year of Yongzheng (1725), where it was parked for 37 years. How is her coffin parked? Many people think that coffins are parked in the hall. Because there is no clear record in the book and the relevant files can't be found, this problem has been bothering people.
In many years' research on the mausoleum, the author made a detailed analysis and textual research from the words in Notes on Kangxi's Residence and Archives of Qing Palace, and preliminarily concluded that Zigong was not parked on the ground of the main hall, but underground. Although no direct evidence was found, there were important corroboration.
The first reason is that Empress Cheng Xiao, who died in the 13th year of Kangxi, and Empress Xiao Zhao, who died in the 17th year of Kangxi, were buried in Jingling in the 20th year of Kangxi. Although it only stopped for a few years, during the time when it stopped at Huacheng Burial Palace in Beishahe Palace in Beijing, according to the records of Qing Dynasty, Zigong stopped underground, "just like the underground palace". It can be inferred that Zigong, sourdrang queen must be parked underground.
The second reason is that Xiao Zhuang's coffin was placed in the temporary Anfeng Hall, and then buried in the underground palace of Zhaoxiling, and the words "tunnel" and "seal" appeared between the lines.
Thirdly, judging from the time, it took sourdrang queen four days to seal it when it was parked in the temporary Anfeng Hall on April 19th, the 27th year of Kangxi. If you just park the coffin in the temple instead of putting Zigong underground, you don't need to build a tunnel and it doesn't take four days.
According to the above three reasons, it is very likely that the coffin of Empress Xiaozhuangwen was buried during the mourning period. Whether this is the case remains to be further confirmed by historical data.

Why are there two walls?
All the imperial tombs, queen's tombs and palaces in the pass have only one wall, but Zhao Qianling's tomb is different. It has two walls, inside and outside, only a dozen meters in the middle. The gate of the first fence is Long En Gate, and the gate of the second fence is three glazed flower gates.
The yongling mausoleum of Emperor Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, the Dingling mausoleum of Emperor Wanli and the tombs of some concubines are two walls. Are the tombs of Zhao Qianling modeled after those of the Ming Dynasty? If that's the case, then why did you build the wall of Zhao Qianling's tomb after the Ming Tombs?
Fuling in Nurhachi and Zhaoling in Huang Taiji are both internal and external walls. Is Zhao Qianling imitating Fuling and Zhaoling? Not exactly. Because the exterior walls of the tombs of Fu and Zhao are Feng Shui walls, and the gate is Dahongmen, which is the same as the Dahongmen of the Feng Shui wall of Qing Dongling. The two walls are separated by tens of meters. The door of the outer wall of Zhaoxi Mausoleum is Long 'en Gate, which is different from Fu and Zhaoer Mausoleum. Why there are two walls in the Zhaoxi Mausoleum has not been explained clearly so far.
Long 'en Temple on the top of the double-eaved hall
The Long 'en Hall in Zhao Qianling's mausoleum is the most distinctive in the Qing tombs.
Unique: On the top of the Long 'en Temple is a double-eaved palace, which is unique among the Qing tombs. Why does Zhaoxi Mausoleum have this feature? The author's analysis is directly related to the origin of this building. This Long 'en Temple is probably the living room of Empress Xiaozhuang Wen before her death. When sourdrang queen was alive, Emperor Kangxi specially built a five-bedroom palace for his grandmother on the east side of Cining Palace. After sourdrang queen moved into his new house, he felt very comfortable and praised the palace many times in front of the emperor. However, not long after she lived, Empress Xiaozhuang died of illness. In order to show filial piety and let grandma live a happy life in Jiuquan, Emperor Kangxi ordered the newly-built bedroom to be demolished and transported to the temporary Anfeng Hall in Changrui Mountain, Zunhua, and rebuilt as it is. At the same time, it can save money and shorten the construction period, killing two birds with one stone. Emperor Kangxi attached great importance to the temporary Anfeng Temple project, and selected competent officials from various ministries and hospitals to form the engineering department. Emperor Kangxi gave detailed instructions on many key links, such as the stage of the temple site, the design and drawing of drawings, and even the demolition, transportation and construction. When Emperor Kangxi dismantled and transported the bedroom materials, he told the officials in charge of the project to properly protect the components so as not to cause defects. When breaking ground and slotting, Emperor Kangxi repeatedly warned that the weather is cold now and the construction is inconvenient, so the foundation site must be firm. With the attention and guidance of Emperor Kangxi, the temporary Anfeng Hall project started in the first month of the 27th year of Kangxi. After intense construction, it was completed at the end of March, and it took only three months, which can be described as rapid. The temporary security hall is a group of buildings, mainly including the palace gate, the pleasure hall and the temporary security hall, surrounded by walls. The original bedroom was probably the roof of the double-eaved palace, so the Long 'en Hall in Zhaoxiling is also the roof of the double-eaved palace.

It was Professor Wang Qiheng of Tianjin University who first discovered this strange phenomenon. He found it in an old photo. The author analyzes that this may be related to sourdrang queen's belief in Buddhism. As we know, many Buddhist temples have such pagodas on their main ridges, such as the Ursa Hall in Puning Temple in Chengde and the Puguang Hall in yongfu temple in Xiling. However, the mausoleum hall is not a Buddhist temple after all. Why should a pagoda be installed on the main ridge of the temple? If this hall is the original bedroom of Empress Xiaozhuangwen in the east of Cining Palace, is there this pagoda on the right ridge of the original bedroom?

Why did Princess Gong Jing and Princess Shu Hui stop in the temporary security hall? Is it because these two concubines came from Bolzigit family in Mongolia at that time and belonged to the same family as Empress Xiaozhuangwen? Shu Huifei, in particular, is the sister of Empress Xiaohui and the granddaughter of Empress Xiaozhuangwen. They are close relatives. Because of this relationship, the two concubines stopped at the temporary Anfengtang? However, Aifei and Duan Shunfei also belong to the Mongolian family. Among them, the bereaved princess's father, Manzhu Xili, is Xiao Zhuang Wen's younger brother, and the bereaved princess is Xiao Zhuang Wen's niece. The relationship between mourning princess and Xiaozhuang is closer than that between Shu Huifei and Xiaozhuang Wen. Why not stop mourning the princess in the temporary Anfengtang?
In addition, when Princess Gong Jing and Princess Shu Hui stopped at the temporary Anfengtang, did they stop with the coffin of Empress Xiaozhuang Wen, or did they stop somewhere else? These are still mysteries.
