Are the emperors of the Qing Dynasty buried in the soil? Is there an option of cremation?

But since ancient times, after the death of the emperor, the bones of various dynasties established by the Han people have been put into nanmu coffins, which were carefully built by the emperor before his death. But the Qing Dynasty originated from Jurchen, and Jurchen practiced cremation. In the early Qing Dynasty, several emperors practiced cremation, but after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs and gradually unified China, most emperors began to use the royal etiquette of the Ming Dynasty for burial. Among the twelve emperors of the Qing Dynasty, four emperors, Taizu, Taizong, Shizu and Puyi, were cremated, and the other eight emperors were buried.

A second ancestor, all cremated:

After the death of Nuerhachi, the Qing emperor, the funeral regulations were still cremated according to the traditional custom of Jurchen. Although the official records are vague. There is no specific explanation, but according to the records, it can be completely confirmed that Nurhachi was buried three years after his death. According to the traditional practice of the Jurchen nationality, it must be cremated first, then the ashes are stored in porcelain jars and buried three years later. Nurhachi was buried in Fuling after his death.

In A.D. 1643, Emperor Taizong of Qing Dynasty suddenly died. When Huang taiji died, the Qing dynasty had not yet entered the customs. Although Huang taiji vigorously promoted the policy of sinicization before his death, the Manchu people at this time still maintained a strong legacy of nuzhen. After the death of Emperor Taizong of Qing Dynasty, he still followed the traditional custom of Jurchen and lived in Zigong. However, according to historical records, when Huang taiji was buried in Zhaoling underground palace a year later, the documentary records have become? Treasure palace? Not dedicated to Zigong of Empress Dowager Cixi. The so-called treasure palace is the official title of the urn by the royal family. So Huang taiji was cremated.

After the emperor shunzhi's death, cremation was rarely practiced by the Qing royal family. However, because the emperor shunzhi believed in Buddhism, he made it clear during his lifetime that he would be cremated after his death, and there was also a record of official cremation in the emperor shunzhi in history. After Shunzhi's death, ministers dared not disobey Shunzhi's wishes, cremated him according to Buddhist tradition, and then buried him in the Xiaoling underground palace of the Qing Dongling. Because Xiaoling is an urn for burial, it can't bury a lot of gold, silver and jewels, so warlords and grave robbers didn't do it. Shunzhi Xiaoling escaped two disasters in the history of Qing Dongling and became the only well-preserved emperor mausoleum in Qing Dongling.

The last emperor returned to his hometown;

History of qing dynasty's last cremation was recorded in the 13th year of Kangxi. This year, the widow of Qing Taizong, Da Guifei Yijing, died, and her body was transported back to Shengjing for cremation and buried in the Royal Guifei Garden in Zhaoling. Since then, there has been no record of royal cremation in the Qing Dynasty. After Emperor Kangxi, all the emperors in the Qing Dynasty were buried in peace, and only the last emperor Puyi was cremated after his death. Puyi experienced many twists and turns in his life. People who changed into new China in their later years. According to the funeral policy advocated at that time, everyone was cremated. So Puyi was cremated in Babaoshan after his death, and his ashes were also stored in Babaoshan. Until 1995, his ashes were moved and buried by his widow Li Shu to Hualong Royal Cemetery in Yixian County, Hebei Province, which is close to the Feng Shui Wall of Emperor chongling of Guangxu, and Puyi, who had been wandering all his life, finally returned to his ancestors.
