Introduce me to the Ming tombs.
Most of the wooden buildings in the Ming tombs were destroyed in the war between the Qing army and the Taiping army in 1853. Now only the masonry buildings such as Xiamafang, Forbidden Monument, Inner Hong Men, the middle wall of the Monument Pavilion, stone statues and the lower part of Fangcheng Ming building are left. It is also one of the largest imperial tombs in ancient China. The Ming Tombs are grand in layout and strict in regulations, and there is a precedent for the road to the gods, which has influenced the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are existing monuments such as Xiamafang, Monument Pavilion, Stone Beast, Wang Zhu, Weng Zhong Stone Man, Monument Hall for Governing the Tang and Song Dynasties, Sifang City and Baocheng, with a depth of 2.62km.. The existing ruins around the 22.5km red wall still exist, which can be seen from the imposing scale of the Royal Cemetery and the high achievements of China's ancient architectural carving art.
A giant stone turtle of the Ming Dynasty, weighing about 80 tons more than 600 years ago, was recently lifted from the ground by a large crane and transported to Honglou Yiwenyuan near the Ming Tombs of Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. This giant stone turtle was found in a ravine full of tea trees behind Meiling Palace Mountain in Nanjing Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. This stone turtle is 6.2 meters long and 2.5 meters wide. It is carved from blue stone. Although the whole is rough, the outline is clear. According to experts, this stone turtle is the largest stone turtle found in China.
The Ming Tombs play Mount Everest in Dulong Mansion at the southern foot of Zijinshan Mountain in the eastern suburb of Nanjing, and on the west side of Maoshan Mountain, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Ma Shi, the empress, are buried here.
The Shinto of the Mausoleum starts from Sifang City. Sifang City is a tablet pavilion, located between Wei Qiao and Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. It is a "sacred merit monument of Daming Tomb" built by Judy, the founding emperor of Ming Dynasty, for his father Zhu Yuanzhang. Its top has been destroyed, leaving only a square wall, and a stone tablet stands on the turtle seat, 8.78 meters high. Judy wrote an inscription of 2,746 words, detailing the merits and demerits of Ming Taizu. Zhumen in the Ming Tombs faces south, facing Meihua Mountain, and the word "Ming Tombs" is written on his forehead. There is a stone carving on the east side of the gate, which was inscribed in six languages by Daotai and Jiangning Magistrate of the General Administration of Westernization of Liangjiang. It was written by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty during his third southern tour. There used to be two royal pavilions behind the stele pavilion, one in the west is called the sacrificial pavilion, and the other in the east is called the service hall. Now, they are all destroyed, leaving only a few stone pillars and stone fields. You can also see the foundations of 64 stone pillars on the original site of the temple, from which you can imagine that the scale of the temple is very large. There is a stone bridge at the end of the tunnel, called Dashiqiao, also called Sage Bridge, which means that crossing this bridge is the "fairy world". The north of the bridge is a castle-like building with a width of 75 meters, a height of 16 meters and a depth of 3 1 meter, which is called Fangcheng. Fangcheng is made of large stones, with an arched inclined tunnel in the middle and steps to enter, with a total of 54 steps. There are stone steps from the tunnel to the top of the city. There used to be a palace-style building on the top of the city, and the top and wooden structure of the building have been destroyed. Now there are only four brick walls, three arches in the south and one arch on the other three sides. Looking from the top of Fangcheng, there are Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in the east, Meihua Mountain in the south, Sun Yat-sen Botanical Garden in the west and Baoding in the north, surrounded by lush trees and pines, which does not prevent visitors from recalling the past. Baoding is a big dome with a diameter of about 400 meters, which is the underground palace where Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Huanghou were buried together. Surrounded by a stone wall, the South Stone Wall is engraved with seven characters "This Mountain is Ming Taizu's Tomb".
Mingling mausoleum
The Ming Tombs are the tombs of Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Huanghou, the founding emperors of the Ming Dynasty, with a history of more than 600 years. It is located at the foot of Dulongfu Mountain in the south of Zijin Mountain, with Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum in the east and Meihua Mountain in the south. The Ming Mausoleum is the largest imperial mausoleum in Nanjing, with a length of 22.5 kilometers. Its overall layout is divided into two parts: one is to guide the Shinto of architecture; The second is the main building of the mausoleum. Most of the wooden buildings in the Ming tombs were destroyed in the war between the Qing army and the Taiping army in 1853. Now only the masonry buildings such as Xiamafang, Forbidden Monument, Inner Hong Men, the middle wall of the Monument Pavilion, stone statues and the lower part of Fangcheng Ming building are left.
Fangcheng minglou is the symbolic tower of underground Miyagi in Xiaoling, with a tunnel in the middle, through which you can climb the minglou. The roof of Ming-style buildings has been destroyed, leaving only four walls.
There are 6 species 12 pairs of stone beasts standing on both sides of the first half of Shi Xiang Road, namely: lion, roe, camel, elephant, unicorn and horse, with 4 animals of each kind, standing twice and lying twice. At the end of the stone beast stands a pair of stone towers (also known as Hua Biao). After that, they turned to the north, Weng Zhong was listed as eight bodies, and four civil servants and military commanders were separated. The stone statues and beasts in Xiaoling Mausoleum are carved from a whole stone, which is tall, vivid and rough, and is a classic in the stone carvings of Ming emperors' tombs.
