The memorial of Aixinjueluo Yongqi for future generations

The authenticity of the above information will not be examined, but it is a fact that Yongqi was buried in Yanggezhuang Village, Bulaotun Town, Miyun County after his death. This mausoleum was built in the 17th year of Qianlong's reign, covering an area of ​​about 10,000 square meters. It is large in scale and contains the burials of Emperor Qianlong's eldest son, Prince Yonghuang of Anding, his third son, Prince Xunjun Yongzhang, and his fifth son, Prince Rongchun Yongqi. One tomb buries three sons. This is quite special among the tombs of princes in the Qing Dynasty. Why was it built in this way? This has to be said about Liu Bowen, who was good at observing Feng Shui. According to legend, Liu Bowen once visited this place before the Ming Dynasty established its capital. He thought it was very feng shui and recommended it to Emperor Ming. However, because Emperor Ming thought it was too expensive and the old buildings in Beijing could be used, he did not build a new capital here. Legends are always legends, but the fact that Qianlong was able to build all three princes here shows that it was due to Feng Shui considerations and his admiration and love for Miyun's landscape. In 1958, the People's Government made the decision to build the Miyun Reservoir. Since the mausoleum was located within the reservoir area, all the mausoleum buildings were demolished.
