"Making Clothes from Paper" reveals the mystery of the burial place of the last emperor Puyi. Where is Puyi's mausoleum?

Pu Yi, the last emperor of China, had a legendary life, and his identity kept changing with the changes of history. Many people know this. Puyi died of kidney cancer in Beijing in 1967. Where was Puyi buried after his death?

According to the custom of feudal countries, after the new emperor ascends the throne, he will choose a "thousand-year-old land" to build his mausoleum. Xuantong Emperor Puyi came to the throne at the age of three. Three years ago, the Qing Dynasty fell. He didn't have time to choose the "Millennium Land".

After Puyi abdicated, he still lived in the Forbidden City with preferential treatment, and his title of emperor remained unchanged. The Republic of China treated foreign monarchs with great courtesy and provided 4 million silver dollars to the Qing royal family every year. In this way, Puyi continued to face the "emperor" alone in this small court.

In 1915, when Puyi was 10 years old, Qin Shihuang decided to choose a "hundred-year land" for Puyi. Li Qing, the capital of Lianzhou, Guangdong, who is good at Feng Shui, is responsible for this task. Li Qing and others visited the mountains and rivers of Xiling, Yixian County, Hebei Province. After investigation and calculation, they believed that Tailing Mountain to the north of Wanglong Village was a good place. The mausoleum is located on the northwest hillside, opposite Chongling. After discussion and on-the-spot verification, the Qing government considered it an option and immediately banned the place. According to Xu Guangyuan's "Exploring the Wonderful Scenery of the Tombs of the Qing Emperors", Puyi's small court at that time had no financial resources of its own, let alone an unstable situation, and it was difficult for the small court to protect itself. Therefore, although the site for the mausoleum has been selected, it is not yet ready. There is another sentence in Chen Baorong's "The Tombs of the Western Kings": "After Puyi entered Datong, he conveniently chose the 'Millennium Blessed Land' in the north of Wanglong Village near Chongling. In the second year of Xuantong's reign, it broke ground and adopted The method of first underground, then above ground, and then moving forward. After more than a year of construction, the foundation works of the underground palace trough and Minglou Baocheng were completed. At this point, the Xinhai Revolution broke out and the Qing Dynasty was overthrown. The construction was forced to stop and construction never resumed. Various theories, right or wrong, need to be verified.

On October 17, 1967, Puyi died of kidney cancer at the age of 61. Cremated on October 19. Premier Zhou Enlai gave clear instructions on how to handle the ashes: first, it can be decided by the country that loves the new; second, the family can choose to bury or store the ashes anywhere in the Revolutionary Cemetery, Wanan Cemetery, etc. 20 On the same day, the family members gathered together to discuss and unanimously agreed to store Puyi’s ashes in the Babaoshan People’s Columbarium.

Puyi’s younger brother Pujie said that Premier Zhou and other leaders were “very concerned about Puyi’s funeral. Did you ever tell me to build a beautiful mausoleum? As a citizen, I categorically refuse. ”

On the afternoon of May 29, 1980, the memorial service for Puyi, Wang, and Liao Yaoxiang was held grandly in the auditorium. After the meeting, according to the instructions of the central government, Puyi’s ashes were moved to No. 1 Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery.< /p>

In 1994, teacher Zhang Shiyi, who lived overseas, built the Hualong Royal Cemetery in the northwest of Chongling, Yixian County. In order to increase the popularity of the cemetery, Zhang Shiyi worked tirelessly to persuade Li to move Puyi's ashes to Xiling.

The placement ceremony was held on January 26, 1995. Li's urn was brought to the grave and placed on the mourning platform covered with yellow satin. After a simple ceremony, the cemetery staff placed the urn into the concrete "golden stone". "Middle. Facing south and north, build 'Guo', and finally pour concrete. In this way, the ashes of the last emperor of China's feudal society were buried. In 1915, the Qing royal family chose the "Land of Wynn" and finally came to an end.
