What is the tomb like?

Most of the tombs in Qin and Han dynasties were covered with a bucket, which means that the shape of the mound is sealed, like a bucket for measuring rice turned over and covered on it, with a small square platform on it. Some of them are like Egyptian pyramids, but China has an extra side, but they are strikingly similar to the pyramids in Mayan civilization, which is a "lost civilization" found in South America. No one can guess the connection between them.

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, huge and thick rocks were arched and the gaps were glued with hemp. This kind of stone tomb is very common near the remains of West Night. /kloc-At the beginning of the 9th century, an explorer in Europe once described it like this: "The desert is full of countless stone tombs, large and small, and more than half of them are buried under yellow sand, exposing the black spire outside, like a miniature Egyptian pyramid, walking through the desert with stone tombs. The scene is amazing. "

In the Tang Dynasty, the mountain was opened for the mausoleum, which was a huge project and magnificent momentum, and it was also related to the national strength of the prosperous Tang Dynasty at that time. Tombs in the Tang Dynasty are full of the elegance of the first empire in the world.

From the Southern Song Dynasty to the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, there were many military disasters, and several of the biggest natural disasters in the ancient history of China also appeared in this period. The national strength is weak, and the tombs of princes and nobles are not as luxurious as before. Later, in the Qing Dynasty and Kanggan period, the national economy and productivity were greatly restored, and the architectural style of the mausoleum was also changed, paying more attention to the ground building and combining it with the ancestral temple garden. Drawing lessons from the anti-theft experience of past dynasties, the underground tombs in Qing Dynasty are extremely solid and the most difficult to start.

No matter which dynasty or generation, the forms of tombs in China for thousands of years all originated from the layout of the five elements of geomantic omen advocated by Fuxi's sixty-four hexagrams, and all insisted on occupying the world. In the final analysis, they are pursuing eight words: within nature, the harmony between man and nature.
