Wang Zanghai’s information, detailed

Wang Zanghai is a character who appears in the novel "Tomb Raiders Notes", and his authenticity remains to be tested. But most netizens believe that there is indeed someone. Architects and Feng Shui experts of the Ming Dynasty participated in the design and construction of Mingzu Mausoleum and other buildings. "A geographer and surveyor of the Ming Dynasty. He designed and built Ming Dynasty urban buildings such as Ming Palace and Qujing City (Qujing City). It is said that he visited Macau. He was a famous geographer in the early Ming Dynasty. He was trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang and participated in the Ming Dynasty. "The construction of the mausoleum." - This paragraph is only found on the Internet and has not been supported by any historical data. Its authenticity remains to be tested.

Wang Zanghai's historical prototype Wang Zanghai's historical prototype:

"Tomb Robbers Notes" said that Wang Zanghai was once appointed to directly participate in the design of the entire Ming Palace. The design of the Ming Palace was done after the Ming Dynasty moved its capital. In the early Ming Dynasty, the capital was set at Yingtianfu (today's Nanjing). In the 19th year of Yongle (1421), Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, moved the capital to Shuntianfu (today's Beijing), and Yingtianfu was renamed Nanjing. Wang Zanghai presided over the design of the Ming Palace in Beijing, and was of the same era as Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor who pursued immortality at that time was Zhu Di, the founder of Ming Dynasty.

The Forbidden City in Beijing was planned to be built in the fifth year of Yongle (1402-1424), the reign of Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty, and was built in the fifteenth to eighteenth year of Yongle. The entire construction project was supervised by Marquis Chen Gui, and the specific responsible person was planner Wu Zhong. Starting from the fifth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1407), Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty gathered the craftsmen from all over the country and recruited 200,000 to 300,000 migrant workers and military workers. After 14 years, he built this large-scale palace complex, which became a historical landmark in Chinese history. One of the famous buildings.

It is speculated that Wang Zanghai is based on Wuzhong.

Wuzhong, whose courtesy name was Sizheng, was originally named Wang Zanghai before he was adopted at the age of 3. He was born in 1373 and died in 1442. He was the Minister of Works of the Yongle, Hongxi, Xuande and Zhengtong dynasties in the Ming Dynasty. He once served as the Minister of Punishment and the Minister of Justice. Minister of the Ministry of War, he presided over the construction of most of the Ming Dynasty palaces and three tombs (Changling, Xianling and Jingling) in Beijing, leaving a glorious page in the history of Chinese architecture. Wuzhong was a native of Wucheng, and there are precise records in the Ming History and Jiajing Wucheng County Annals. The preface to the original genealogy of the "Wu Family Genealogy" preserved by the Wu clan in Dawu Village, Luquantun Town also contains detailed records. Wang Zanghai was Wu Hezhong's stepson. Wu Hezhong had been childless for many years. At the age of 42, he adopted his second son Wang Zanghai from a distant relative and changed his surname. Wuzhong. In his early years, he studied under a Japanese scholar monk who came to China. During this period, he came into contact with Yin Yang and Feng Shui which were lost after the Tang Dynasty. It will be of great help to his future development. After Wuzhong gained Zhu Di's trust, he was entrusted with important responsibilities. He was promoted to Chief Secretary of Peiping, and then to Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple Yousi. In September of the second year of Yongle, he was promoted to censor of Youdu. In the first month of the fifth year of Yongle, he was appointed Dr. Zishan and Minister of the Ministry of Industry, responsible for the construction of the Beijing Palace. In the seventh year of Yongle, he presided over the construction of Changling. In the ninth year of Yongle, he worked with the eunuch Ruan An and the governor Shen Qing to build the nine-gate tower of Kyoto. During the construction, Linqing palace kilns came into being. Linqing bricks took advantage of the good soil quality and convenient canal transportation to become tribute bricks for the construction of Beijing. In April of the seventh year of Zhengtong, Wuzhong resigned. In June of the same year, Wuzhong died of illness at the age of seventy. He was later buried ten miles west of Wucheng (now the old town). His tomb was later listed as one of the sixteen tombs in Wucheng by Qianlong in Wucheng County Chronicles.

Edit this historical record for details: "Qilin City, which has a glorious history of ancient civilization for thousands of years, has left a large number of cultural relics and historic sites in its long history. Not to mention the Ming and Qing Dynasties. , we can see from the chronicles that there are more than 10 temples with clear records, including Wuhou Temple, Minghuan Temple, Xiangxian Temple, Zhongyi Xiaodi Temple, Jiexiao Temple, Zhaozhong Temple, etc. There are more than 20 temples including Qimiao Temple, Dongyu Temple, Huoshen Temple, Caishen Temple and Xuantan Temple. There are more than 20 temples including Guanyin Temple, Tianwang Temple, Baoen Temple, Yuantong Temple, Zhengfa Temple and Yuquan Temple. The palaces include Wenchang Palace and Guan Temple. There are more than 10 palaces such as the Holy Palace and Chuanzhu Palace, more than ten pavilions such as Dou Pavilion, Kui Pavilion and Wenchang Pavilion, as well as more nunneries and palaces. The specific situation is that this one is the largest, the most magnificent and the most famous. The Confucian Temple was built in the color printing factory in today's city in the 17th year of Hongwu's reign in the Ming Dynasty. This Confucian Temple is also called Confucius Temple and Confucius Temple, which have the same meaning. According to the records of Nanning County Chronicles by Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty, The Confucian Temple "sits in the north and faces south, with Tianma standing on its left and right. The hall is spacious and full of atmosphere, making it the residence of saints.

"Since the completion of the Confucius Temple in Qujing, almost every local governor has repaired and expanded it, making the Confucius Temple more and more spectacular and elegant. By the Kangxi period, there were 28 verandahs on the east and west sides under the Tianzi Terrace. There are all kinds of books, sacrificial vessels, musical instruments, crowns and clothes, and there are osmanthus, cypress and various famous flowers and plants in the courtyard. It is really a suitable place for a saint to live. However, with the passage of time, most of these monuments have disappeared with the wind. The only monument in this old city is a section of the ancient city wall built in the Ming Dynasty. It has gone through hundreds of years of wind and rain and is still living quietly on the side of the Guofeng Theater next to Kangqiao. ”

Edit This paragraph has not been confirmed——This paragraph is only found on the Internet and has not been supported by any historical data. In reality, Qilin City [1] is located in the west of Jining City, Shandong Province, that is, Jiaxiang County, Shandong Province, and has nothing to do with Yunnan Qilin City mentioned in this paragraph. "Nanning County Chronicle" is the historical data of Qilin District in Qujing City, and Qilin District[2] was named in 1998. From the time when officials were appointed in the Qin Dynasty until 1998, the place names in Qujing[3] have never been related to "Qilin". The largest Confucius Temple in Yunnan Province[4] is located in Jianshui County[5] and was built in the Yuan Dynasty, not the "Seventeenth Year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty". Moreover, Jianshui County belongs to the Honghe Hani and Yi Autonomous Prefecture (southern Yunnan), not Qujing Prefecture (eastern Yunnan). To sum up, it can be basically concluded that the description of "Kilin City" in this paragraph is not true.

"In 1381 AD, 300,000 Ming Dynasty troops defeated Liang Wang's 100,000 elite troops on the banks of the Baishi River in Qilin City, opening up the Yunnan Passage and bringing the entire territory under the control of the Ming Dynasty. In March of the second year, Qujing officially changed the route and established a government. At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Fu Youde, the commander-in-chief of the Ming army: "Since Yunnan is at peace, leave troops from Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Hunan, and Henan to guard it and control the key points. " This is a historical fact recorded in "Records of Taizu of the Ming Dynasty". A considerable number of Han soldiers who entered Yunnan in this way were retained. In 1368, Zhu Yuanzhang issued another edict: "Yunnan's land is very vast, and most of it is deserted. It is suitable for Set up a camp and order the soldiers to cultivate the land to prepare for savings. "As a result, the garrison and farmland system that combined military garrison and farmland came into being, allowing sergeants and their families to settle down for a long time. "Seven points of farming, three parts of preparation" were implemented. Qujing became one of the main areas for military farming. . At this time, in order to consolidate Qujing as an important gateway to Yunnan, Zhu Yuanzhang approved the construction of a city here. "-The Battle of Baishijiang in this section is a historical fact.

The main principles followed in selecting the site when editing this paragraph are: "The ancients built a city, and the general principle they followed in selecting the site is "it must not be above Guangchuan, but must be under the mountains, and the height should not be close to Fu for water use" The words of Guanzi come from Guanzi. His teachings have influenced China's urban construction for thousands of years. The construction of Qujing City should also be based on this principle. This city is located in On the edge of Bazi, it faces Qilin Mountain to the north, Liokuo Mountain to the south, Nanpan River to the east, and is surrounded by Xiaoxiang River and Baishi River. It is surrounded by mountains and water, and it is a good place to sit high up. What is interesting is that this ancient city has a beautiful scenery. Six hundred years later, the building also led to a good story with Macao. On the eve of Macao's return in 1999, CCTV organized a "Celebrating the 100-day countdown to Macao's return to the 'Century Dragon' party". At the party, guests from Macao and Zhuhai were invited. Four guests from Beijing and Qujing, Yunnan, conducted a "Talk about Macao in the Past and Present" on the spot. The brothers who have been separated for four hundred years will return to the embrace of the motherland at the end of this century. Nothing is more exciting than this. What is interesting is that Mr. Zhao Hongkui from Qujing, Yunnan, is talking about the relationship between Qujing and Macau that dates back to 600 years ago. According to Mr. Zhao, the ancient cities of Macau and Qujing were built by the same designer and were built two years ago. The designer is Wang Zanghai, a famous surveyor who once designed and built the Ming Palace and was highly appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang, or more commonly known as a Feng Shui expert. The architectural design of a city was conducted by a surveyor. , this can be regarded as a Chinese characteristic. In old China, from the construction of palaces and cities to the construction of kitchen stoves and pig stables, Wang Zanghai was not only a Feng Shui master, but also understood the science of city construction. In terms of scale, Qujing is less than one square mile.

Origin: What we can see in the "Nanning County Chronicle" in the second year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty is that this city began to build a brick city in 1387. The city is six miles and three-quarters in circumference, three feet high and as thick as a pheasant saucer. There are one thousand six hundred and thirty, with four gates. The east gate is called Legeng Gate, the south gate is Laixun Gate, the west gate is called Shengfeng Gate, and the north gate is Yingen Gate. The lower part of each city gate is made of five-sided stone, and the middle and upper parts are made of strip stone and green bricks. At the same time, wooden gate towers were built on the four city gates, with double towers and cornices. In the east is the "Sun Pavilion" with a plaque of "Ping Han Dian Yun" hanging on it; in the south is called "Chun Yang Pavilion" with a plaque of "Civilization and Beautiful Government"; in the west is called "Taiyin Pavilion" with a plaque of "Shengfeng Qishi". It is named "Dutian Pavilion" in the north, and has a plaque of "Enyi Shenshu" hanging on it. The city wall is made of bricks and rammed earth, and the outer edge is inlaid with five-sided stones. The whole city is in an irregular rectangular shape according to the terrain. The road network in the city is T-shaped. There are four streets, east, west, north and south along the four city gates. The city is divided into Gulou Street, Xueyuan Street, Zongtang Street, Jiuhang Street, and two main streets. Set up small streets and alleys. The ground in the center of the street is made of sandstone laths, and the two sides are paved with river pebbles. The road is 6 meters wide and the lane is 4 meters wide. The residential buildings on both sides of the main streets are mostly turrets with one floor and one bottom. The city also has the Governor's Office (today's Qujing No. 1 Middle School), the Qujing Government Office (today's Qujing Health School), the County Office (today's Qujing Municipal Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Bureau), the Chinese Army Dusi (today's Printing Factory), and the Qujing Prefecture Tongzhi Office (today's Qujing City). Public Security Bureau), and there are three academies. Quyang Academy is located in today’s Chengguan Primary School, Jingyang Academy is located west of today’s Pearl River Source Square, and Xinggu Academy is located in the convoy of today’s Qujing Municipal Grain Bureau. There are countless religious sites in the city, the so-called “Three Temples” "Eight temples and nine pavilions". In fact, there are more than these. There are more than 40 temples, Taoist temples and pavilions in the city. It took more than thirty years to build this city, and it was not completed until the 19th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1420). After the construction of this city, it prospered for a while. After all, it is the largest city in eastern Yunnan and the economic and cultural center. However, wars arose in the old days, and this city suffered many misfortunes.

Everything has a certain time and space limit. When an old city dims, more new cities will rise. This is also the way of history and human civilization.

Edit the difference in this paragraph - "Qilin Mountain" in this paragraph does not exist. In reality, there are 4 Qilin Mountains [6], none of which are located in Yunnan. The connection between Qujing and Macao in Duan is not found in any historical data, and the so-called "Century Dragon's Gala" held by CCTV in 1999 to celebrate the 100-day countdown to Macao's return does not exist[7].
