Why didn't the Ming Tombs rob tombs?

The Ming Tombs are not stolen, which has a lot to do with the location. The location of the Ming Tombs is close to the downtown area of Beijing, with a relatively dense population. Under everyone's eyes, no one will be particularly brazen to rob a tomb. After the Qing army entered the customs, if it wants to be recognized by the people, it is necessary to deal with the things left by the former dynasty. China has always been famous for its filial piety, and digging graves will inevitably lead to dissatisfaction all over the country. In order to win the hearts of the people, the Qing Dynasty not only did not destroy the Ming Tombs, but protected them well.

Why are only three Ming Tombs open?

Reason: Other mausoleums are in disrepair because they are far away from now, and many of them are in disrepair. Even the most basic Ming building and Long 'en Hall have been overturned, and there is no condition for open visit at all, and the traffic is not very convenient. In addition, those emperors who were not open to the public were not familiar with them, and a few who were familiar with them were also open, so only three of the Ming Tombs were open.
