What does the monument mean?

It is a grave where the clothes and other things of the official dead are buried, not the remains. There is no dead body in this grave.

Monuments usually appear for two reasons. The first reason is that the body of the deceased cannot be found and cannot be buried. You can only replace the body with things like clothes before you die.

The second reason is that the deceased was buried in a different place, but it had a great influence on a certain place before his death. Later, people buried the relics of the deceased in the local area to commemorate him.

For example, Wang Zhaojun's tomb in Qing Dynasty is said to be a fairy in the sky. Khan walked to Heihe River and saw the north wind whistling and flying rocks and sand, so he had to stop and played the pipa. Suddenly, rosy clouds appeared, white clouds filled, ice and snow melted and everything recovered. Soon, grass was everywhere and Qin was full of wild flowers.

Later, because of Zhaojun, people outside the Great Wall lived a rich life. When Zhaojun died, farmers from far and near came to attend the funeral. They wrapped their skirts in earth and built Zhaojun's tomb package by package.

The difference between the cenotaph and the tomb, the tomb and the mausoleum;

The cemetery is used to bury the dead. Many people may think that a grave is a cenotaph, but the essential difference is that one is used to bury the dead and the other is used to bury the clothes of the dead. Although fundamentally speaking, there is not much difference between cemeteries and monuments, they are all used to pay homage to the dead.

A grave actually refers to a raised mound on the ground. In addition, this kind of tomb had a special significance of rolling filial piety in ancient times. The reason why such an ordinary conical mound is piled on the coffin is to express the grievances in this person's heart.

Mausoleum is a kind of high-standard product, which only the emperor can enjoy. In ancient times, the mausoleum was the place where the emperor lived after his death, and it was also a symbol of status. In ancient times, the specifications of tombs were generally very high, most of them were magnificent, with excellent feng shui and a vast area.
