Mystery of Underwater Tomb: Why did Zhu Yuanzhang bury his ancestors in the water?

In the history of China, dynasties changed constantly, and many grass-roots emperors appeared. Grass-roots emperors often play with political handles in order to confuse the audience. Open the door to the history of China, and you will find that in the history of China, legends of emperors playing politics abound, such as Chen Sheng's fish belly note, Liu Bang's sword to cut the white snake, Liu Bei's white gallows to escape, and Zhao Kuangyin's Xianglong Shengrui. Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming Zuling is just a continuation of the brilliant means of the above-mentioned historical politicians.

Time has passed, and the Ming Zuling has been full of legends since its discovery. 1963, Hongze Lake was extremely dry and the water level dropped to the lowest point in history. Some large stone statues appeared from the water. These stone statues are strewn at random and have been shaped into images of Kirin, lion, civil servant, military commander, minister and eunuch. Later, according to the research of experts, they were confirmed as the Ming Zuling. At this time, it has been nearly 300 years since the Ming Zuling became the imperial tomb.

After Zhu Yuanzhang proclaimed himself emperor, the legend of Zhu Tomb Yu soon spread. First it started in Hongze Lake, and then it spread all over the country like mercury. ?

When Taizu instilled this magical legend of his own into all walks of life, in order to show respect and filial piety to his ancestors and show the majesty of the royal family to the world, Zhu Yuanzhang began to build a large-scale Ming Zuling in front of the lake where his grandfather was buried, showing the majesty of the royal family, and buried his ancestors' clothes and other relics here together.

In this way, the majesty of the royal family has been fully reflected, and her own bloodline has also been respected by the world, and no one in the society will comment indiscriminately.
