World cultural heritage, the mysterious and unique tomb of Zhongxiang in Hubei-Ming Xianling.

In Zhongxiang City, Hubei Province, there is a mysterious and distinctive Ming Tomb. It has two mausoleums, which are connected by Yao and Tai. The construction took 40 years and cost 2 million taels of silver. The owner of the tomb was a vassal, but after his death, he used the royal mausoleum. This is the Ming Mausoleum, which has been rated as a world cultural heritage. Ming Xianling Mausoleum, formerly known as "Xianling Mausoleum", is the burial tomb of Zhu Shiyuan, the biological father of Jiajing Emperor in Ming Dynasty, and Jiang Shengmu. After Zhu Shiyuan's death, he was buried in the Xianling Mausoleum with the courtesy of the princes. Later, since Wu Zong died, Zhu Houzong, the son of Zhu Shiyuan, was named Emperor Jiajing because he had no children. After Zhu Houzong succeeded to Dabao, he ratified his father as Emperor Gong Rui, and changed his father's tomb offering regulations from Mausoleum to Mausoleum, and renamed it "apparition". After the reform, the Ming Mausoleum is large in scale and covers a vast area, and its shape is no less than that of any of the Ming Tombs in Beijing. It adopts a dumbbell shape. There are large buildings in the Ming Tombs, which are patchwork and set each other off. There are two walls inside and outside the cemetery, which are intertwined. Red walls and yellow tiles are in harmony with the surrounding natural environment, which has been a good place for thousands of years. Visitors to the entrance of the Red Gate of the Ming Tombs will travel here and bypass Waimingtang. First, they saw the red gate of the new outer city. There is a stone tablet in front of the door, which reads "Officials are waiting to dismount here". It is said that this was written by the great traitor Yan Song. After the first red gate, Longxing has a shinto 1300 meters long. The winding path leads to a secluded place. You can walk through Longxing Shinto, pass through Laohongmen and Lingxingmen, and you will see a wide and straight Shinto. There are lions, camels, lying elephants, Kirin and other stone statues on both sides of Shinto, as well as civil servants and military commanders. The sculpture is round and vivid. In the cemetery, Jiuqu Creek twists and turns, intersecting with Shinto, forming an inner Ming pool, which looks like "two dragon playing beads". On the east and west sides of the main entrance of the inner city, there are eight-character glazed walls with Qionghua on the front and Shuanglong on the back. Through the door is the temple of grace. Unfortunately, it was burned by Li Zicheng in the late Ming Dynasty, and now only ruins remain. Then there is the Ming-style building, with the built-in stone tablet of Xian Di's tomb, and finally the famous "One Mausoleum and Two Mausoleums", which are connected by Yao and Tai. The World Cultural Heritage Ming Mausoleum is a large single mausoleum. "One Mausoleum and Two Mausoleums" has formed a unique and peculiar landscape. It is a classic of the perfect unity of human architecture and natural environment, representing the highest level of funeral architecture in Ming Dynasty. It is the crystallization of the wisdom of ancient working people. Although the Ming Tombs are not as famous as the Ming Tombs, they were rated as world cultural heritage before the Ming Tombs, which shows how important their cultural value and historical position are.
