When the emperor succeeded to the throne, he would choose to build a mausoleum in Wannian. Why did Qianlong delay making up his mind?
It's not that Qianlong didn't want to set his eternal auspicious land early, but he did have unspeakable difficulties. Since ancient times, any emperor didn't want to build his mausoleum as soon as possible, and he was afraid that his mausoleum would not be repaired in the future, which would be embarrassing.
the difficulties of Qianlong stem from the uniqueness of the imperial tombs in the Qing dynasty, namely, the imperial tombs in the Qing dynasty are divided into the Eastern Mausoleum of Qing Dynasty and the Western Mausoleum of Qing Dynasty. Of course, I won't talk about them here.
After the Qing army entered the customs, Shunzhi chose a blessed land to build his own Xiaoling Mausoleum, and stipulated that all future generations should build a mausoleum here, which is the Qing Dongling Mausoleum. Later, Kangxi followed this rule and built his own Jingling Mausoleum in the Qing Dongling Mausoleum. But when Yongzheng succeeded to the throne, he violated it? The son was buried with his father, and the ancestors inherited it? The system, another trillion domain built its own Tailing in Yixian, hundreds of miles away from the Qing Dongling, which was later the Qing Xiling.
As for why Yongzheng insisted on building another mausoleum at the beginning, unofficial history said that his throne was not right and he dared not accompany his father to rest in Dongling. Of course, this statement is really nonsense, and I think the reason is nothing more than Yongzheng's appreciation of the land of feng shui. Although Yongzheng contentedly built his own Tailing and merged? Happy? He moved in, but he suffered from his son Ganlong. After all, before him, the royal family built tombs, didn't it? The son was buried with his father? His father is in the Qing Xiling Mausoleum, but his most admired grandfather Kangxi is in the Qing Dongling Mausoleum. No matter whether he is buried in the Qing Dongling Mausoleum or the Qing Xiling Mausoleum in the future, his descendants will follow him, so it is bound to neglect another imperial tomb, so it is unfilial for Qianlong to build the mausoleum anywhere.
but as an emperor, he had to build his own mausoleum, so after much deliberation, he finally decided to build his mausoleum in the Qing Dongling, follow his grandfather and abolish it? The son was buried with his father? This system is adopted? Zhao Mu Xiang Jian? System. Zhaomu system? It is one of the ancient ancestral temple systems, that is, the order of placing the main cards of the ancestral temple, with the ancestor in the middle and the left showing and the right showing. The father is Zhao in the left, the son is Mu in the right, the second is Zhao, and the third is Mu in this order.
what did Qianlong define as the Qing tombs? Zhao? , Qing Xiling is? Mu? In this way, he was buried in the Qing Dongling, so his son will be in the Qing Xiling in the future, his grandson will be in the Qing Dongling, and his great-grandson will be in the Qing Xiling?
Therefore, after Qianlong solved this long-troubled problem, he happily went to Qing Dongling. After his death, Emperor Jiaqing, who succeeded to the throne, also happily went to Qing Xiling to find his grandfather Yongzheng. However, after Jiaqing's death, Daoguang, who succeeded to the throne, loved his father too much, so Daoguang once again violated the regulations of Grandpa Qianlong to accompany Jiaqing at Qing Xiling.
but anyway, ganlong? Wit? Really solved what his father left him? Pit? , so that future generations of the Qing Dynasty are no longer entangled in choosing tombs.
