Zhaoxi Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Empress Xiao Zhuang. Why was it built outside the Feng Shui wall of the Qing Dongling Mausoleum?
In the history of China, there was a queen who served three generations of kings, and her life was legendary. She is the queen of Xiaozhuang-Borzijit Bumubutai, also known as Da Yuer. She is the concubine of Emperor Taizong of Qing Dynasty, the biological mother of Emperor Shunzhi of Qing Dynasty, and the grandmother of Emperor Kangxi. She was highly respected all her life, but why was the Zhaoxi Mausoleum of Xiaozhuang Wen Queen built alone outside the Feng Shui wall of Dahongmen in the Qing Dongling? People can't help but think of something contained in unofficial history, that is, the story of her marrying Dourgen. So did she really marry Dourgen?
In the TV series The Secret History of Xiaozhuang, we witnessed the sincere love between Xiao Zhuang and Dourgen. In The Marriage of Gege, Xiao Zhuang marries Dourgen. It seems that it has been popular among the people that Xiao Zhuang married Dourgen. In fact, in academic circles, this statement is also widely circulated. Otherwise, why did Emperor Shunzhi call Dorgun the "Regent of the Emperor's Father"? At the same time, according to the Manchu customs and the narration of Zhang Huangyan's "Jian Yi Gong Ci" at that time, it is indeed possible for Queen Xiao Zhuang to marry Dourgen.
As to why Xiao Zhuang was buried outside the Feng Shui wall of Dongling after his death, unofficial history thought it was punishing him for guarding the door for future generations, because they thought that the Qing court was contemptuous of his immoral behavior. Unofficial history can only be unofficial history, which is processed from folklore. It has no basis, but people's subjective imagination.
Then why on earth was the Zhaoxi Mausoleum of Xiaozhuang Wen Empress built outside the "Feng Shui Wall" of Qing Dong Mausoleum? In fact, this is entirely the meaning of Empress Xiaozhuangwen herself, which can be known from her teachings. In December of the 26th year of Kangxi (1687), when Empress Xiaozhuangwen was seriously ill, she said to Emperor Kangxi: "I have to tell you what happened behind me. Emperor Taizong's Zigong has been in peace for a long time, and he is humble and respectful. At this time, it is not convenient to be buried together. If you start from another place, it will be a waste of time. Investigate the meaning of non-burial. I love your father and son, and I can't bear to go far away. I must be obedient to Zunhua, and I have no regrets. " Emperor Kangxi was very filial to his grandmother, and in accordance with her wishes, he specially dismantled and transported five bedrooms just built in the east of Cining Palace to the Qing Dongling Mausoleum and converted them into "temporary security halls".
Therefore, the reason why the Zhaoxi Mausoleum was built outside the Feng Shui wall of the Qing Dongling Mausoleum was that it complied with the wishes of Empress Xiaozhuang Wen, so as not to keep it away from the two generations of emperors who were raised by themselves; Second, it shows that the Zhaoxi Mausoleum and the Zhaoling Mausoleum, which goes thousands of miles to the east, belong to the same system and were built outside the mausoleum area to show that they are different from the Qing tombs.
