What are the mysteries of the Ming Tombs?
The Ming Tombs are located at the foot of Tianshou Mountain in Changping District, Beijing. 1409. In order to get an auspicious cemetery, the Ming emperor Judy ordered a Feng Shui master to find such a treasure in Changping, modern Beijing. Judy personally visited this place and named it Tianshou Mountain. After Judy died, he was buried here. Later, 12 emperors built tombs here one after another, and the specific tomb site was chosen according to his Feng Shui master.
The terrain where the Ming Tombs are located is surrounded by mountains in the east, west and north, and the south is spacious and open. The streams on the mountain all converge in the Yuling Qianqu and rush to the southeast. The mountains are lush with vegetation and vibrant veins. I have to say that Tianshou Mountain, chosen by Judy, gives full play to China's traditional geomantic culture and is a treasure house of the mausoleum.
In addition to the landscape, there are certain historical reasons for choosing this place as a mausoleum. Judy ascended the throne in Nanjing, but why didn't he choose a mausoleum near Nanjing, instead of a distant Beijing? At this time, Judy was already planning for the future of the Ming Dynasty. Because the remnants of Mongolia are still stirring in the north, it is difficult to control the situation along the Great Wall in Nanjing.
