Why did Yongzheng violate orthodoxy to build the Qing Xiling? Why didn't Qianlong want to be buried in Qing Xiling?
In fact, at the beginning, the site of the mausoleum chosen by Yong Zhengdi and Yin Zhen was also located in Dongling, which is located in chao yang shan, Jiu Feng. However, it was not long before Yin Zhen directly denied the mausoleum site.
The reason for moving the mausoleum is recorded in the engineering history: Yong Zhengdi made it clear when he abolished the tomb site of chao yang shan in Jiu Feng. This place is close to Xiaoling and Jingling, which is in line with my original intention, and people who are proficient in Feng Shui are the icing on the cake. They think that although the scale is large, the shape is incomplete, and the soil in the cave is filled with gravel, which is really unusable. ?
This record is very clear. At first, Yong Zhengdi didn't intend to choose another mausoleum site. He was also going to find a piece of land behind him within the scope of the Qing Dongling, and chose chao yang shan, Jiu Feng of the Qing Dongling. However, during the field investigation, it was found that the local shape was incomplete, there were a lot of sand and gravel in the soil, and the water seepage was very heavy, which was not suitable for building a mausoleum.
Finally, Prince Andrew of Heshuoyi personally re-selected the mausoleum site and found Yongning Mountain in yi county, which Andrew called here? Gankun is a land of beauty, and there is sand and water in the dragon cave, and there is no beauty and no harvest. The situation is reasonable and the auspicious place is ready. . Yongzheng felt very satisfied and thought that Yongning Mountain was the land of Shangji, so he decided to build his own Tailing Mausoleum here to form the Qing Xiling Mausoleum.
In the process of selecting tombs, the soil quality of the tombs, that is, the underground palace where coffins are placed, is very strict. The soil is fine but not loose, oily but not dry, bright but not dark? Better weigh the soil. A bucket of soil weighs six or seven kilograms, 89 kilograms is good luck, and more than ten kilograms is good luck, so as to infer the compactness of soil and the bearing capacity of foundation.
Yongning Mountain, which was finally selected by Huang Hongfa and Gao Qizhuo, is the best place for geomantic omen. Compared with the Qing Dongling, the conditions of the Qing Xiling are really much better. Ancient emperors all wanted to choose a treasure trove of geomantic omen behind them. Naturally, the place with water seepage is not suitable for Jianling, and the sandy land in chao yang shan, Jiu Feng is also not suitable for building. It is also reasonable for Yong Zhengdi to choose another mausoleum.
However, some people have questioned that the Dongling Mausoleum in Qing Dynasty was particularly large, and it was not only Jiu Feng and chao yang shan that could build the imperial tomb. Even if it is not suitable here, it does not mean that there are no other feng shui treasures in Dongling District. Why did Yong Zhengdi choose Xiling instead of changing a place in Dongling? Obviously there are other reasons.
However, we can't say that, because facts have proved that Yong Zhengdi's consideration is very prescient. The Yuling in Qianlong is very expensive, and it took a lot of effort, but the result is still serious water seepage. Now Yuling is like an underground dragon palace. During the Daoguang period, Dongling had already built a mausoleum, but there was water seepage again, so it was moved and buried in Xiling.
Besides, Yong Zhengdi didn't intend to break it at first? A son is buried with his father and inherited by his ancestors? Zhao Mu system, because Yong Zhengdi originally wanted to choose Dongling as the mausoleum site, but gave up because of force majeure and chose Xiling. Although people now think that Yong Zhengdi was buried in Xiling, it is possible to avoid Dongling's father, but this was not necessarily the case at that time.
The border between Yizhou and Zunhua is close to Shi Jing, and they live together in Jifu, tied for China, but their land is not far away. ? In people's eyes at that time, Yongning Mountain in yi county was not far from the Mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty, and it was also in accordance with the ancient law. Moreover, although the two places are in two opposite directions, they are 25 kilometers away from the Forbidden City/KLOC-0, and the error is very small.
