Five emperors were buried in the last land of Feng Shui in Manchu Dynasty, and Puyi was also buried here, and has not been robbed so far.
In the ancient feudal society, emperors of all dynasties paid great attention to geomantic omen. Not only should their capitals be like emperors, but even the tombs after death must be unique places of geomantic omen. It is said that this can prolong the life of the imperial dynasty and make future generations become emperors forever. In the Qing dynasty, there were three such feng shui treasures, one was the three ancestral tombs outside the customs, and the Qing tombs in the East and West outside Beijing. The Qing Xiling Mausoleum is the last treasure trove of geomantic omen, which was originally chosen by yongzheng emperor. There were five emperors, including the last emperor Puyi.
We know that after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it was mainly buried in the Qing Dongling from Shunzhi, but in Yongzheng period, why did you find a new way and bury yourself in the Qing Xiling, which is hundreds of miles away from the Qing Dongling? This is an eternal mystery. yongzheng emperor was one of the few successful emperors in the Qing Dynasty. During his reign, he purged bureaucracy, vigorously fought corruption, and recovered * * * and outer Mongolia, which was a great contribution, which made the corruption and decay since the last years of Kangxi take on a new look and greatly improved the emptiness of the national treasury, directly laying the foundation for the prosperous years of Qianlong.
The reason why the emperor was not buried around his father and grandfather after his death is far-fetched. According to official records, Yongzheng failed to find a suitable place in the Qing Dongling. Because in the past dynasties, emperors buried together have become customized, otherwise it will be detrimental to the spirit of the emperor. For example, the Ming emperors were buried in the Ming Tombs except Zhu Yuanzhang in Nanjing.
So people guess that this has something to do with the improper origin of Yongzheng's throne. Now it is said that Kangxi was going to pass on his throne to the fourteen emperors before his death, and Yongzheng got the throne by tampering with the imperial edict. Therefore, he was afraid that he would be blamed for being buried with his father Kangxi, so he opened up the Qing Western Mausoleum in another way.
after Yongzheng, Jiaqing, Daoguang and Guangxu were buried. Interestingly, after the death of the last emperor Puyi, it was first buried in Babaoshan. Now, in order to develop tourism, Puyi, as the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, has moved to the Qing Xiling Mausoleum, and its cemetery is said to be bigger than other cemeteries. Moreover, the arrival of Puyi did bring popularity to the deserted Qing Xiling.
interestingly, although the Qing Xiling Mausoleum buried five emperors, it was not robbed like the Qing Dongling Mausoleum. Now, except for the tomb of Emperor Guangxu, it is well preserved. I think this may have something to do with Yongzheng's style. Yongzheng, Jiaqing and Daoguang are three thrifty and vulgar emperors. One is very stingy and frugal before his death; Neither of them loves to collect treasures, and they are not as flamboyant as Qianlong and Empress Dowager Cixi. Therefore, it must be that grave robbers know that the Qing Xiling is relatively shabby, so they didn't move.
