The largest ancestral tombs in ancient times were undoubtedly the imperial tombs. However, during the feudal dynasty for thousands of years, there were countless imperial tombs in the past. But if we want to talk about the location of the best royal ancestral tombs, it must be this place, because this ancestral tomb has 16 ancestors. emperor.
This ancestral tomb is the Ming Emperor’s Mausoleum. The Ming Dynasty was the last court in the feudal history of China to be run by Han people. Its founder, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, was a relatively legendary emperor in history, because in ancient times Those who could become emperor, apart from the descendants of the royal family, were local princes or dignitaries. Zhu Yuanzhang was not. He was a true grassroots class. He lost his parents and wandered around as a beggar and a monk since he was a child. What no one expected was that a person with such a low status would eventually become the monarch of the Ming Dynasty.
He was born in a civilian family in Anhui. It was the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and the Yuan Dynasty was in chaos. The emperor was incompetent and the people lived a life of displacement and hunger. Zhu Yuanzhang's parents both died of hunger, and he became an orphan from then on. Because he was very young, he had no ability to bury his parents. He and his brother begged everywhere, hoping to get a piece of land for their parents. Finally, Liu Jixian gave him a piece of land to bury his parents.
However, something unexpected happened just as they were preparing to bury their parents. They were blocked by bad weather and a landslide buried their parents directly. Because they were buried too deep, the brothers had to Burying his parents here, this is Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestral tomb, but no one thought that this landslide would choose a good Feng Shui place for Zhu Yuanzhang's parents. This may be God's will. This is the so-called "sky burial" '', and this geomantic treasure land made Zhu Yuanzhang the emperor.
After his parents died, he lived with his brother and sister-in-law. However, bad luck struck again, and his brother and sister-in-law also died one after another. At this time, he had no one to rely on and could only wander around and later joined the army. He eventually overthrew the Yuan Dynasty and established the Ming Dynasty. The first thing he did after he ascended the throne was to build an ancestral tomb. Since he believed that a landslide caused the burial of his parents, he planned to choose a new tomb site. But later Liu Bowen told him that this place was a spiritual place, and if he insisted on changing it, he might be discouraged. Finally, Zhu Yuanzhang gave up this plan. And the place was expanded into an imperial mausoleum, and the current Ming Emperor's mausoleum was built.
When the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway was built, it was originally planned to pass through the Ming Emperor's Mausoleum. However, it was easy to cause damage to the Emperor's Tomb during construction, so the local government in order to avoid damaging the Ming Dynasty Emperor's Mausoleum. The imperial mausoleum caused damage, so it was finally decided to bypass the Ming emperor's mausoleum, which led to an increase in the construction period and cost.
