Why didn't the emperor build a tomb in Sichuan?
First of all, the ancients paid great attention to geomantic omen, and emperors naturally cared about geomantic omen. When they build the imperial tomb, they will let the feng shui master take a closer look, and the places with bad feng shui will never be considered! We don't know whether Feng Shui is true or not, but ancient people really believe in Feng Shui. The terrain in central Sichuan is very low, so according to the geomantic theory, if a tomb is built in Sichuan, this terrain will attract grave robbers and Long Mai will be unstable. No matter which emperor, after listening to these words, he will definitely be worried. Believe it or not, they will reject Sichuan in their hearts, so how can they build their own graves here? It is also very important that there are many mountains in Sichuan, which has been a disaster-prone place since ancient times. Even if the emperor can put aside the feng shui in Sichuan, they should also consider the safety of their tombs. How sad it would be in case of a big earthquake.
In addition, the capital of a dynasty is not too far from the emperor's mausoleum. Shaanxi and Henan in China are the capitals of many dynasties, so there are also many tombs in these two places. This is mainly for convenience. After all, the medical conditions in ancient times were not good and the traffic was not developed! After the death of the emperor, he has to go through a series of procedures, and it will be a long time after these procedures are completed, so their bodies need to be buried as soon as possible, otherwise there will be problems!
Although ancient people would embalm the emperor's body, it is not a permanent embalming! If it takes too long to transfer the emperor's body to the mausoleum, then the emperor's body will rot to a certain extent! It is possible to walk 10 for half a day, which is not only disrespectful to the emperor, but also consumes human and financial resources and needs to prevent many accidents! Although there are few imperial tombs in Sichuan, there are still some provinces that don't even have one, such as Yunnan and Guizhou. These provinces are not only underdeveloped in transportation, but also not economic centers, so they are usually far from the capital, so the emperor will naturally rule out the tombs first when considering them, and even don't have to invite Mr. Feng Shui to see them. Everyone knows that tombs can't be built in these places!
Secondly, people call themselves kings, so their tombs will be built in a place full of dragons. To find such a good place, three conditions must be met. First, there must be water and mountains, and sit still! The mausoleum environment must be good, the mountains must be mountains, and the water must be rivers. This scene is like a dragon in the mountains, so emperors like to live in places with such scenery! Although there are mountains in Sichuan, they are very complicated and not good at all! Besides, the emperor's mausoleum is usually not built on the flat ground. If it can be built halfway up the mountain, they will first consider halfway up the mountain, even if it is not halfway up the mountain, it will be built in a big mountain range! There are many fields in the countryside between mountains and rivers, but there will never be graves in these places, because the geographical location is too common. The emperor's mausoleum is very big. They often dig a mountain, but there are no qualified mountains and rivers in Sichuan! The mountains in Sichuan are very fragile, so they are likely to collapse during excavation. Even if we can barely dig out the tomb, a small earthquake in the future may destroy the whole tomb.
Finally, the only imperial tomb in Sichuan is Liu Bei's Tomb. Many people don't understand why Liu Bei built a tomb in Sichuan. This has always been an unsolved mystery. What do you think Liu Bei built his tomb in Sichuan for?
