Which emperors are buried in the Ming Tombs?

The Thirteen Tombs of the Ming Dynasty are buried in: Changling (Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty), Xianling (Renzong of the Ming Dynasty), Jing (Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty), Yuling (Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty), Maoling (Xianzong of the Ming Dynasty), Tai Ling (Ming Xiaozong), Kangling (Ming Wuzong), Yongling (Ming Shizong), Zhaoling (Ming Muzong), Dingling (Ming Shenzong), Qingling (Ming Guangzong), Deling (Ming Xi Zong), Siling (Ming Yizong). Among them, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Huizong Zhu Yunwen, and Daizong Zhu Qiyu are not within the scope of the Ming Tombs. 1. Tianshou Mountain

The tombs of the 13 emperors of the Ming Dynasty are all on Tianshou Mountain. After Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, moved his capital to Beijing, he began to choose a place to build his own mausoleum. He found many Feng Shui masters and finally chose a place called Huangtu Mountain. When he chose this place, it happened to be his 50th birthday, so he changed the name of Huangtu Mountain to Tianshou Mountain. Moreover, during the original survey, someone told Zhu Di that this place was related to the Qi of the Ming Dynasty, so Zhu Di chose the imperial mausoleum here and asked his descendants to build the imperial mausoleum here. 2. Emperors of the Ming Dynasty who were not in the Ming Tombs

There were 16 emperors in the Ming Dynasty, three of whom were not on Tianshou Mountain, namely Ming Taizu, Zhu Yuanzhang, Ming Huizong, Zhu Yunwen, and Ming Dynasty Zong Zhu Qiyu. Zhu Yuanzhang was buried in Nanjing. At that time, the capital of the Ming Dynasty was still in Nanjing, but later the capital was moved to Beijing, so the subsequent emperor's tomb was in Beijing. The second emperor was Minghuizong, who was the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang and the nephew of Zhu Di. Zhu Di launched the Jingnan Campaign and usurped the throne of his nephew. During this visit, no body of the Minghui Sect was found. Moreover, it was said that Zhu Yunwen had become a monk, so there was no tomb of Zhu Yunwen on Tianshou Mountain. The third place is Zhu Di's great-grandson Zhu Qiyu. There was an emperor before Zhu Qiyu, Zhu Qizhen. Zhu Qizhen was captured by the Oara because of the Oara War, so the ministers chose Zhu Qizhen's younger brother, Zhu Qiyu, to inherit the throne. But he didn't expect that Zhu Qizhen would later be welcomed back to the Ming Dynasty, launch a coup, and regain the throne. Later, Zhu Qizhen did not recognize Zhu Qiyu's status as emperor and demoted him to king. In the end, Zhu Qiyu was unable to enter Huangling. 3. Modern Tombs of the Ming Dynasty

The modern Tombs of the Ming Dynasty have long become tourist attractions, and some of the imperial tombs are open to the public and can be visited. In so many years of history, the Ming Tombs have also been stolen many times, but the overall number is still relatively small, and they are not stolen as cleanly as the Qing Dynasty imperial tombs. The structure of the Ming Tombs is more difficult to steal than the Qing Dynasty imperial tombs.
