Does Genghis Khan have a mausoleum or not?
In the late autumn of A.D. 1226, the troops of the Mongolian Empire set out from the grassland and marched into the distant Xixia. This team was led by Genghis Khan himself. This is the last expedition in his life. No one would have thought that Genghis Khan never returned to his beloved grassland alive. Just this winter, Genghis Khan, who was in his sixties, went out to hunt wild horses on his way to a place called arni. When a group of wild horses galloped past, Genghis Khan's mount, the Green Leopard Flower Horse, was suddenly frightened. It was a severe winter, and Genghis Khan lost control of his horse and was thrown off.
It was a fatal fall. Genghis Khan was in great pain and still had a high fever. Halfway through the war, he suffered from a local epidemic. To make matters worse, although he conquered Xixia, he himself came to the end of his life. In the summer of 1227, Genghis Khan left his beloved grassland. At the last moment before he died, he knew he was going to die, so he called his sons and left his famous last words. On his deathbed, Genghis Khan thought of the great conquest that he had never completed in his life. He secretly taught his youngest son, Tuo Lei, and others how to attack Kaifeng.
He said to Tuo Lei and others: "Nomads are in Tongguan (Tongguan is the gateway to the Shaanxi side of Henan Province), with dangerous mountains in the south and the Yellow River in the north, which is difficult to break. It's hard to win from now on. It should be a fake song dynasty. Jin Song's feud can make me. Song Dao can go to South Henan and take Kaifeng directly from South Henan. When the time comes, the money will be urgent, so we will recruit the elite soldiers of Tongguan. However, with tens of thousands of people, it is too late to help. Even if reinforcements arrived in Tongguan, they were exhausted and unable to fight. In this way, it is easy to break the seal. " This is the last battle plan that Genghis Khan dictated to his son Tuo Lei and others on his deathbed. Six years later, Tuo Lei led people to implement the plan well.
There are many speculations about the burial place of Genghis Khan after his death. According to legend, more than 700 years ago, Genghis Khan led an expedition to Xixia, passing through Ejinhoro (now Ordos Plateau). He was very happy when he saw lush water plants and deer. When he was drunk, he accidentally dropped his whip. The Ministry was just about to pick up the whip, but Genghis Khan stopped it, and improvised a poem: "The place where the plum blossom deer lives, the place where Dai Sheng birds hatch, the land of decline and revival, and the country where white-haired people rest in peace."
Later, Genghis Khan died during his expedition to Xixia. Genghis Khan's words must not be violated. According to Khan's orders, philosophers and generals decided to bury their bodies in Surichuan and their clothes in Ejinhoro. It is said that the hearse suddenly fell into a quagmire when passing through Ejinhoro, and the five horses remained motionless. Everyone used this as a cenotaph and built a cemetery with eight white yurts, which were regarded as the holy land of the whole nation by Mongols and called "Eight White Houses". 500 families in the Guard were left to serve here, which is called "Dahut".
Yang Duoji, Secretary-General of Ordos Research Association, once said that the Genghis Khan Mausoleum in Ordos Plateau evolved from four white rooms (four white felt tents) built by Wokuotai Khan/Kloc-0 in 1930s for his father Khan's coffin, and the Darhuts guarding the mausoleum are descendants of the eight great heroes of Genghis Khan.
By 2006, Genghis Khan had been dead for nearly 780 years, and correspondingly, the Darhutes had guarded his soul for 780 years. During this period, the Daur nationality passed through Yuan, Ming, Qing, Republic of China and New China, and passed down from generation to generation, always guarding the mausoleum of Genghis Khan. At present, the 38th wake of Genghis Khan Mausoleum is Chulun Bater of Dalhut.
About the Genghis Khan Mausoleum in Erdos, Inner Mongolia, China, it can be said that it is recognized as the authoritative Genghis Khan Mausoleum in the world today. Although there is no skeleton buried here, it is the soul of Genghis Khan. The preservation of Genghis Khan Mausoleum can not be separated from the care of Darhuts from generation to generation. Although the Dalhuts have been protected from generation to generation, the mausoleum of Genghis Khan still has its thrilling past.
In A.D. 1937, the traitor King De took refuge in Japan and wanted to steal the mausoleum of Genghis Khan from the original occupied area to Suiyuan (now Hohhot). After this news was disclosed, it was immediately reported to Chongqing National Government through Sand King. The National Government quickly sent General Fu and General Deng Baoshan to transfer their souls and escorted the palace tent to Yulin, Gansu. Since then, the coffin has been moved to Ta 'er Temple in Qinghai. 1954, 1 In April, at the request of Mongolian compatriots, the central government of New China moved Genghis Khan's coffin back to Erdos, rebuilt the cemetery in Ejinhoro Banner, and gradually concentrated Genghis Khan's relics scattered everywhere in Genghis Khan's mausoleum.
