Guilin is a treasure trove of feng shui.

As a history lover, I want to see the Ming Tombs when I go to Beijing. For Guangxi people, it's a bit far to go to Beijing. In fact, you may not know that there is also a large-scale tomb group of Ming Dynasty princes in Guangxi. * * * The tombs of princes 1 1, including more than 300 tombs of princes' relatives. It is the mausoleum of a local king in the Ming Dynasty. Here, you can also see the pattern of tombs in the Ming Dynasty, making it known as the "First Mausoleum in Lingnan".

Where is the largest Ming Tombs in Guangxi? It is in Guilin, called Jingjiang Mausoleum. Guilin is the most famous tourist city in Guangxi, and its name was only formed in the Ming Dynasty. Guilin was called Jingjiang in Song and Yuan Dynasties. Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, made his nephew Zhu Shouqian king in Guilin. Zhu Shouqian is king of Jingjiang. In the fifth year of Hongwu, Jingjiang House was changed to Guilin House, and the name of Guilin was officially confirmed.

Yaoshan is about 8 kilometers away from downtown Guilin, which is the highest peak in downtown Guilin. At the foot of Yaoshan Mountain, there is the mausoleum of King Jingjiang of the Ming Dynasty, surrounded by mountains, which is a treasure trove of geomantic omen. There are 1 1 tombs in Jingjiang Mausoleum. There were 14 prisoners in Guilin in Ming Dynasty, of which 1 1 kings were buried in Yaoshan, and only the first, thirteenth and fourteenth generations of Jingjiang kings were not buried in Jingjiang Mausoleum.

Jingjiang Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Zhu Shouqian, King of Jingjiang in Ming Dynasty, and his descendants. Zhu Shouqian was made King of Jingjiang on 1370 and lived in Guilin, Guangxi. But it was abolished by Zhu Yuanzhang because he disobeyed the king's orders and oppressed the people. 1403, Zhu Shouqian's eldest son, Zhu Zanyi, attacked the throne from generation to generation. 1650, the Qing army invaded Guilin, and King Jingjiang survived from canonization to extinction.

The layout of the mausoleum is rectangular, including the mausoleum gate, the middle gate, the pleasure hall and the underground palace. The tombs are distributed along Yaoshan Mountain, with a length of 15 km from north to south and a width of 7 km from east to west, with a total area of 100 square kilometers. In addition to 1 1 captive,1/princess and more than 40 princes, there are tombs of generals, ministers and royal relatives. The largest tomb covers an area of more than 300 mu, and the smallest is less than 10 mu, which is also a true witness to the decline of Jingjiang Wang Fu and Ming Dynasty.

Jingjiang Mausoleum is a national key cultural relic protection unit. Jing Zuo and Wang Hao, the third generation of Jingjiang Wang Zhu, have been in power for the longest time. The cemetery covers an area of 87 mu and is surrounded by long blue tiles and red walls. In addition to the cemetery, there is also the Jingjiang Mausoleum Museum, which displays some unearthed cultural relics of Jingjiang Mausoleum, most of which are ceramics, many of which are treasures.

Such a big tomb is now the "cohabitation" between the prince and the mortal. Originally, it was just a magnificent tomb of the captaincy. Due to historical reasons and ineffective protection measures, the original tomb of the Wang family has been unrecognizable. There are a large number of private cemeteries in the cemetery area, and there are tens of thousands of private graves spreading along the hillside. There are more than a dozen private graves all over the mound, even on both sides of the cemetery Shinto. To be honest, I dare not walk here alone.
