In ancient times, many believers in the sayings of ghosts and gods, and they care very much about Feng Shui. As the saying goes, emperors are mostly buried in the dragon vein, which can bless their descendants to continue and prosper.
The emperor's tombs are countless treasures and extremely luxurious, which has given birth to many tomb robbers who covet the imperial tombs.
But why has it never been invaded by tomb robbers as founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang ? What is the mystery and mystery of Zhu Yuanzhang’s tomb that made Emperor Kangxi go to worship repeatedly?
The reason why the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum has not been robbed for hundreds of years
The reason why the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum has never been invaded by tomb robbers may be the following reasons:
First of all, Zhu Yuanzhang paid great attention to when building his tomb. Unlike other top-down constructions of imperial tombs, the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is horizontal . The craftsmen are transported through a tomb passage of , excavated in the tomb, and built an internal tomb chamber.
This made the tomb robbers who were used to making holes from top to bottom incredible. Without the help of explosives, they could hardly dig out the holes from top to bottom of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum , and then enter the tomb robbers.
When designing the Mingxiao Mausoleum, the craftsmen also considered that the tomb passage is the only way to enter and exit the Mingxiao Mausoleum , and the tomb passage must be hidden to avoid tomb robbers discovering it.
It is even rumored that craftsmen found it difficult to find the exit from the tomb passage when building the tomb passage and almost died in the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum.
It was not until later that archaeologists used modern and precise instruments to detect the tomb passage where is located. It is not in the middle of the conventional. The tomb passage of Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is located on the side of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum , which also made tomb robbers never find the location of the tomb passage.
After all, according to China's habit of paying attention to "symmetry" , tomb robbers speculated that when Zhu Yuanzhang built the tomb, he might have built the tomb passage in a neat manner. It was the unexpected design of the craftsman , which made it difficult for tomb passage to be discovered by tomb passage .
Secondly, archaeologists found that under the seal on the top of the Ming Xiao Mausoleum, there were thick and round pebbles. These pebbles have two main functions. First, lay pebbles on the top to create uneven surfaces, so that rainwater can better penetrate into the drainage system and will not accumulate on the top.
Secondly, the more important function of laying pebbles is actually to anti-theft . Using the tilt at the top, whenever the tomb robber tries to make a hole from the top, the pebbles will roll down from the top block the holes that the tomb robbers made tightly , allowing the tomb robbers to have holes in and out.
The constant filling of pebbles also makes it impossible for us to find the holes that the tomb robbers once dug.
Finally, it is said that the time, place and people are in harmony, with powerful anti-theft facilities, the secret that the Ming Xiaoling has not been stolen for hundreds of years, and its special geographical location and historical influence of .
Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is located in Nanjing, China. It was located in the prosperous Jiangnan region in the Qing Dynasty. Although Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum has experienced hundreds of years of baptism and suffered many war attacks, the rulers in the Qing Dynasty did not wantonly destroy and excavate the tombs of the previous dynasty because they overthrew the Ming Dynasty's rule.
Kangxi worshipping the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum is a political method
Because of the political factors at that time, after the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, it did not completely eliminate the idea of the south anti-Qing and restoring the Ming . In order to be able to have the best of both worlds, Kangxi thought of a solution without spending one soldier and not hurting civilians.
Kangxi In order to win people's hearts, visited Jiangnan many times. Every time he arrived, he would go to Zhu Yuanzhang's tomb to worship . He also erected a stone tablet with the inscription "Governing the Tang and Song Dynasties" in front of the Ming Xiaomambus. Kangxi praised the Ming Dynasty under Zhu Yuanzhang's rule, which was even more prosperous than the prosperous era of the Tang and Song Dynasties.
Kangxi's worship of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum also allowed the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum to be protected by the government for hundreds of years. Even Sun Yat-sen's first priority after the establishment of the Republic of China was to go to the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum to worship.
Ming Xiaoling is not far from Nanjing city . Tomb robbers find it difficult to make big moves under the eyes of the people in Nanjing. Therefore, many tomb robbers are unable to excavate the Ming Xiaoling pyramid for these reasons, which has also made the Ming Xiaoling still well preserved for more than 600 years.
Why don’t archaeologists dig up the Ming Xiaoling archaeological excavation
Today Why haven’t modern archaeologists excavated and studied the Ming Xiaoling ? Could it be that I still can’t open the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, or is there any hidden truth?
Nowadays, there is no archaeological excavation for the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum. It is not that we modern archaeologists cannot open the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum, but because of the lack of archaeological experience in Ming Shenzong Zhu Yijun Ming Ding Mausoleum, causing damage to cultural relics.
This time, it has led archaeologists to be very cautious in the archaeological excavation resolution of the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum.
Because of the current archaeological technology of , it is difficult to perfectly preserve all the excavated cultural relics . After all, the purpose of archaeology is to preserve cultural relics for easy research, and then properly preserve the cultural relics and spread them to the world.
Zhu Yuanzhang's Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum has not been excavated by tomb robbers for hundreds of years. The ingenious design and exquisite craftsmanship are worthy of our later generations' lamentation for The wisdom of the ancients far exceeds our imagination .
