If the books from the point of view, Twenty-five, as twenty-five river, magnificent, merged into the vastness of the East five thousand years Wen Ming. To specify a place name to sum up a unit in which the dynastic history, our vast territory, the chaos of the past you Changba me play to change, unless overlook from space, unlimited great country, who clearly pointing? - Wait a minute, the Beijing Changping Ming Tombs --40 Tianshou foothills of square kilometers of beautiful mountains, can be said that the Ming Dynasty, 277 years, almost all of the past, are buried here.

This one: thirteen Ming emperors funeral pre-existence of the body, take me through the entire Ming Dynasty.

As the image through the implementation of behavior, "the way of God" bear the brunt, it may be interpreted as unauthorized: "Mysterious Way." In fact, God road scenic lush vegetation, open straighten out, not too mysterious. Day is expected to roar squat in a four-poster Chinese table, there are towering pavilion, shrouded monster Bixi laden Changling magic holiness monument, both for the former Royal Ming antiquities. But the biggest surprise in the scenic road of God, it is so far from the Ming Dynasty to save the basic integrity of Shishou stone figures on both sides of the road. Growth of the whole stone, fine ancient engraving, from north to south, various animal before, after the civil and military Xunchen, in pairs, as twins, in order of priority, or standing or kneeling.

I stare docked in front of "Xie Zhi" Shishou, haitai animal, can argue right and wrong, discern the truth, it is said by the ancient mystery to solve. I ask that is it: the emperor fall He Fang? Who dictates club hit cause of action? Hong Wan case who is poison? How to shift Palace case to solve? This four unsolved Ming Palace, feed it refused to answer, like most of the Ming Tombs God Road magic holiness monument, without a word. Then smile away, oddly enough, it is also smiling. Later I found a stone surface in almost all road west of smiling while road east of the stern, I do not know what to say. Q. beautiful and professional tour guide sister, who asked Ming Shida small poplar, they do not know why. God's way through the eight hundred meters total, the case is still mystery fans case.

This Second: through the fan case.

In fact the way of God, also known as Shinto or Ling Road, the main road is leading to the mausoleum, through the way God always, truly enter the Ming Tombs. "Son of Heaven" after the death of God, die from the road, so called Sacred Way. In addition to Siling, Ming Tombs each one has a Mausoleum Shinto, which Changling - that Tianshou selected this mountain basin is large Teleology tomb of Yongle Emperor Zhu Di - his mausoleum and the total Shinto Shinto, the most wide growth, is relatively best preserved sacred way, is now open for the cultural protection attractions for visitors; the other eleven by the General Shinto Shinto branch, Chen cloth before each mausoleum, now mostly outside the protection of cultural relics have been lost in the focus range , become part of a country road, but before every door Mausoleum fine observation, you can find some remnants. After the subjugation of the monarch Ming Chong Zhen Emperor hanging in Meishan, the Si Qing court to bury his mausoleum, reducing the specifications, Sacred Way replace ordinary road hastily.

God's way and can be understood as "sacred way." Therefore, when the center of Shinto slightly elevated, a symbol, "Dragon", "gold" brick paved with stone or percussion sound of metals; cobblestone plated on both sides, it is a symbol of "Interfax." In addition Empress coffin, guards of honor, sacrifice, etc. can be outside Shinto center forward, and other officials who even went Yeling imperial offspring can only go next to "bypass roads", Ming Road is the supreme god of the road.

But now most of the dilapidated old Shinto damage, lost in the fruit Lam Road. Fox Snake digging wild rabbit villagers, mules pulling carts, foraging white yellow dog, wilderness, casually through the old imperial gods die from road, sky Baiyuncanggou, or volume, or comfortable, also pretend do not know. The total road on both sides leaving only God or standing or kneeling Shishou and stone Chung Weng, all noble and humble all, are equally respectful silence, silent, nobody says that six centuries of wind, frost, snow and rain.

This Third: silent crossing.

Imagine a giant tree, castle village on the vast plains and nourish the roots, the tree trunk is always God's way of giant trees, paths and roads each tomb God is the separation of branches; stumps thirteen red Huangwa wall Mausoleum building, is thirteen golden flowers - blooms in honor of an entire dynasty; and Shoushan days, Dayu mountains, Yang Chui Ling, Yongsan (Mangshan), Shan (Huyu), etc. surrounded by mountains guarded, mountainous volts from, lush, foliage sketched out the contours of the giant trees tree; central large tracts of orchards, fields and hills village guard small basin, old Song Gubai mixed meantime, it is a bushy tree giant trees leaf.

As a national key cultural relics protection units, is currently open to tourism only Changling Mausoleum Palace, Dingling and Zhaoling, plus the aforementioned total way of God, a total of four.

Yongle Emperor Zhu Di in which Chang Ling Mausoleum, the Ming Tombs in the first, the oldest, but most Hongzhuang, and are relatively best preserved mausoleum palace, with a number of "most" is its open floor building the main reason, it is a model of the other twelve Ling, Ling En temple its magnificent magnificent world of the thin, Zhang Ling is now being used as a museum, the building itself and the exhibition items are all amazing; Dingling Wanli emperor Zhu Yijun the mausoleum, ancient and modern, all the mausoleum of the core, a most remarkable part is the imperial burial coffin and grave goods of "mysterious underground palace", the biggest surprise is that it Dingling Ming Tombs - as well as China's only open the mysterious underground palace of imperial tombs, the museum Dingling underground palace unearthed priceless, plus tour of the underground palace, the mysterious Dingling is the most important feature of tourism; Zhao Ling Zhu Zai Hou is Longqinghuangdi mausoleum, Zhaoling floor building damage seriously, in the year 1990, according to the old system complete repair and reconstruction of all buildings restored Zhaoling ground, even all the Mausoleum ectopic have been damaged kitchen god, God libraries and slaughter pavilion and other buildings, and open to Light spots, Zhao Ling Ling En Temple reduction in the ritual ceremonies of the late emperor's old appliance model placed by Zhao Ling tour, can fully intuitive understanding of the ground pattern of the Mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty architecture, the Palace of the Ming Tombs regarded as specimens of the building. Changling, Dingling Mausoleum which is three touristy open Mausoleum, in fact, from three different angles, Cuiqu the essence of the Ming Tombs.

Fifth this: through the hills palace complex.

By chance, we get the official permission to enter the palace to visit the mausoleum is not open, although it is under the supervision of Shou Ling people in tight and gentle, still a rare blast of ecstasy. After all, it is not open to national key cultural relics protection units, previously available only through the fence onlookers. Now, almost forgot the shutter click, it has been all the way down, afraid to miss something.

In addition to us, no others mausoleum palace, courtyards wildflower, gray pine and cypress standing for hundreds of years, the decadent old wall, the palace foundation seam, the breeding of weeds, thriving in the late spring. I straddled the threshold Ling Ling Xing De door, looking camera angles with the camera looking white and smooth and Gu Pu beautiful white marble post, capitals there are brave crouched sky, the sky changing. My body is holding the camera down low down low, "seems to be low dust has to go," thinking of the ancient Egyptian obelisk, Easter Island stone portrait of a coloratura soprano ...... suddenly shouted behind him: " I'm back! "surprise people, when looking back, turned out to be accompanied by playful photographers, tourists are being imitated across the lattice Star gate. Other companions great music, singing Gong Sheng said: "Lady, you are back!"

Saying we sightseeing in Changling and Dingling, the tours surrounded exchanges, the return trip, when it comes to the lattice Star Gate, certainly requires tour guides visitors parked in front, queuing station column, and then explain said: Ling Xing Gate is the imperial tombs life and death the door, the door is a male profession, the door is hell, we just visited in the underworld, to return to positive community, must cross this door, under the previous rules, when cross the threshold, to shout, "I'm back! "otherwise souls to follow, would not go back. Tourists have to do so in unison to sing and drink across the door, Fu Zhang laugh. Indeed Ling Xing Gate is a symbol of the day the door, several palaces, temples, worship (such as the Temple of Heaven) buildings and so on a lattice Star Gate. Ming imperial tombs have set before regulation Ling Xing Gate, the symbol of heaven and earth for the threshold, it reached the people have become the boundary between the underworld and yang. Formerly, the descendants of the imperial ancestor worship ye-ling, line up to the lattice in front of the star, do not forward. Today, this is a comedy Ming Tombs tourism project.

This Sixth: heaven and earth pass through.

In fact, more a symbol of life and death, yin and yang, is the mausoleum of the underground palace. At present, many popular Tomb novels, ancient tomb is always full of mysterious and strange, terror and excitement of the gas field, it is also a symbol of people's fear of death and the ecstasy of the treasure - "Fear - ecstasy", how extreme integration. Xuan Ming Tombs Dingling underground palace is now the country's largest imperial mausoleum open underground palace. There are "Snow Dingling" a book, the ancient and modern, Dingling above and below ground, and even the central decision, folk legend, and academic analysis, detailing the mysterious events over and over, won Taiwan's "China Times" Ten large books recommended charts, and the United States, "World Week" bestseller charts, wave anecdotes about Dingling underground palace of a turbulent, this need not be repeated here.

I have been to the Eastern Qing Tombs Yuling underground palace, also visit Chengdu Five Dynasties and Ten States Former Shu Yong Ling underground palace, also got into the Dunhuang Jin Dynasty Tombs of an underground palace. Now have to visit Dingling underground palace, he is surrounded by tiny step forward through the security line in the middle of the brightest tours led by guides, and pretending to be talking about some of the chill under mysterious stories along the escalator to the underground chill 27 in each group tour meters, did not feel the thrill of watching a horror movie, just think a little muffled coolness. I am afraid it is too many visitors.

Dingling underground palace Author: air travel helpless when finally entered the Tomb mysterious underground palace, but still shocked. In my experience, terms of size, relatively Dingling underground palace for the Ming and Qing Former Shu Yong Ling Yu Ling underground palace and only a relatively large underground houses, Dingling underground palace really be called a "palace" Yeah! Toru huge stone materials into a huge arch, before the constitution, during and after, left, right, a total of five main hall, beautifully carved white marble dragon chair was originally said to be in the clear flower Cigang nave cloth out, one of Jiajingnianjian Sheng Changming kerosene; dozens of boxes huge gold Phoebe coffin apse is the main hall, Emperor Wanli and his two queens full of gold and silver and gems of funerary, on display here - but are imitations. Most of Dingling unearthed treasures and gold Phoebe coffin, even Empress bones, have been destroyed or disappeared during the Cultural Revolution. According to the modern folk say: three thousand national treasure, leaving only three hundred. Inevitably painful, plus the atmosphere tomb Palace, the heart muffled. Construction of Jin Gang from the wall outlet to get through the return to earth, is back Dingling Ming House, the vast expanse of open green, full of tourists. Feel a little better.

This its seven: Life and Death no problem crossing.

Dingling underground palace that is out from Ming House, the Ming Tombs is a landmark building, is the highest point of each mausoleum palace buildings, and vision. Good feng shui throughout the Ming Tombs, late spring, the four towering from the next floor around, mountains, rugged undulating, verdant mountains, pleasant, but also see the other the next floor, sight, red walls adjacent crane stands however, embellishment between Cong, the wide horizons minded big fast. Tombs of the Ming House is the highest terrain in Zhaoling view across the layers of green waves, you can always saw far Kazuhiro clear water, it is the Ming Tombs Reservoir, Mangshan on the left, there is a manual Tianchi, the hillside "Tianchi" Cliff books, clearly visible.

In fact, the next floor is Beilou, the monument is the tomb, but can not be called imperial tombstone tombstone, was called "the holy monument." Tombs extant thirteen through all the Ming and Qing imperial tombstone (which Siling Qing Dynasty imperial tombstone vertical construction) original, most well-preserved, grow thick, though already faded red paint can still see gold the ancient regulations. But when Kang Ling and Zhao Ling of the holy monument was passing attack Beijing Li Zicheng burn crack, Kang Ling St. No. monument has a crack, now maintain the status quo. Zhaoling St. tombstone broken into pieces, are now re-erect after bonding cultural workers, as Moire zhaoling imperial tombstone is a most peculiar Tombs pass.

Where the head of the holy monument monument engraved with ancient seal "Ming" word, to the supreme meaning. Text mausoleum monument in the Temple name and emperor who posthumous, you want to be dead emperor pedestal to mean. God is called the blue sky, and the souls of the underground palace residence, the souls of the old residence is called Huang Quan. Bai Ju-yi poem: "The poor under the blue sky on Huang Quan."

The eight this: crossing the blue sky from Huang Quan.

If the instructions are Tombs floor buildings landmarks, it is only because of its high terrain; in fact, the main building Ling Ling En Temple is the palace complex of buildings is the largest single building. Ling En Temple was originally the main places of worship, also known as Xiangdian. Unfortunately, thirteen Mausoleum Ling En Temple has been destroyed twelve, the midst of sadness is Zhang Ling of Ling En Temple preserved the basic non-destructive, can not but say that this is a miracle.

Because of Chang Ling Ling Ling En Temple is thirteen grace of a grand temple to grow the most, and even can be said that one of the existing ancient palace in the most Hongzhuang construction, its specifications are also on a par with the Forbidden City Hall of Supreme Harmony. Chang Ling Ling En Temple is located in the paved ramp on the base stone of three Royal Road, nine wide, deep five to symbolize "was the emperor." Support double eaves and veranda hall Dianding 60 gold Phoebe pillars, tens of meters high, were about one meter in diameter, are all original Ming Dynasty, it is a rare genius jackwood world, each root is priceless.

Currently Chang Ling Ling Zhang Ling En Temple to do with the museum, namely the exhibition itself, also features many Dingling unearthed treasures, gold crown, precious stones for decoration, white cup, ivory chopsticks, extravagant. Dingling unearthed treasures, in another part of Dingling museum, on the left side of the door Dingling, for modern architecture, exhibits much the same, but each piece is very tongue praise. Other Ling En Temple Tombs mostly destroyed and then rebuilt in the lower specification Qianlong, the Qing Dynasty architecture and later all the damage again, now mostly ruins, and even the only remaining foundation, column bases yo, weeds flourish. From another point of view, but he added the time was slashed by luxury, attributed naive nature.

Nine out of this: extravagant to Zhuopu crossing.

"World Could Wang soil, the rate Binmo non-Wang Chen of the earth." This is the ultimate dream of every generation each emperor every morning, and can never be realized. Because this dream will inevitably lead to oppression, there is oppression, there is resistance inevitable. Oppression and revolt, the same thing, the most important ingredients are called "violent." Ming Empire, established by the oppression of the Yuan Dynasty civilian Zhu Yuanzhang, he established way of empire, as always, is to overthrow the rule of totalitarian violence with violence on behalf of the civilian population, after the establishment of the regime, and immediately turned into a new totalitarian violence, eventually violent new civilian overthrow. All feudal authoritarian rule Gaimo so, 277 years of the Ming Empire, only one case of case history of 5,000 years of civilization. I thought: violence, human Wen Ming is a BUG program.

Rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Tombs in the building, to the performance by the Siling. Siling biased towards the southeast corner of the Ming Tombs, the Ming Empire was the last monarch Chong Zhen Emperor Zhu by the prosecution mausoleum. After the civilians Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, the emperor Zhu hanging by the prosecution in Jingshan. Li Zicheng civilians have not had enough of the addiction of power, then Qingbingruguan, turn him out of Beijing. Qing court fairly benevolent, but also to win over before the next nobility, is the burial site of the Chong Zhen Ming Tombs, but the money's sake, Zhu seized by the tomb of a concubine into a mausoleum, buried with trouble.

Our last stop Tombs came across geographic Siling, although mentally prepared, or can not help feeling. Relatively Changling Zhu Di, Zhu Ling seized by the thought and not one-tenth of all the main building all no deposit, is not the only Ming Tombs reconstruction of a Ming House. With twelve other for five stone tomb is completely different, it is said to be a eunuch from the tomb forward to the number of charged, not at the imperial specifications. There are two stone dragons through a door, the one at the door, are relics of the Qing Dynasty, still well preserved, both sides Beizuo, expressive sad lion. Baoshan is very small, no ding, no bridleways walls. Or almost can not be called Baoshan, just a grave Ying, bypass circle, less than a minute. It is said that there is a Dao Dong Qing dynasty, but also annihilation, can not see out. Siling also a key cultural protection unit, not open, looking from the outside, but also glance. Siling in front of a large orchard road, tens of meters, there is a right way Wang Chengen tomb, surrounded by waist-iron fence, and a three-way stone grave Ying. Wang Bing pen eunuch is Chongzhen, accompanied Meishan Chongzhen hanged himself, after the death of its loyal respected, is the only one buried in the Ming Tombs of eunuchs.

This its ten: the rise and fall of power through.

In addition to thinking Ling tomb village called "Mourning Ling village prison", the other twelve Ling Palace Tombs mausoleum village has the same name, by Shou Ling Qing Dynasty households evolved. When Changling lunch break, Ming Shida said small poplar mysteriously who would like me to visit gatehouse Ming Dynasty? I am pleased to join them. Through the Changling Village, East West Shui Po, went to the scene Ling village, almost two villages together.

I asked a few old people, they wear the alley, small Topol said: is here. He looked up short of the end of a dilapidated gatehouse hard top, broken brick, tile on hay arisen.

Through the door as a symbol of my favorite hills palace is not open to damaging several old Ling Xing Gate and overgrown with weeds, broken walls three gates (within Red Gate). Wildflowers are blooming wasteland, isolated pine and cypress trees, a door without walls, reminiscent of Miyazaki's manga, as if after that door, went to another space.

In fact, the warmest scenery, the hills between Huang Yuan palace ruins in secret if the stars of wildflowers. Little golden sonchifolia, scissors stocks, Potentilla, they like a little girl after school, a bunch of East West cluster, twitter, vigorous warm, covered with a playground; Malan spent on fine white purple dark red decadent wall corner narcissistic; the same group Hemistepta velvet and purple Mazus grass sway in the order under Majesty facing the sun; Pu Gongying and Pulsatilla are everywhere; on a base dragons, is a root wrapped Cooper it reminds me of the "tree bag Buddha" Khmer ruins; we find engraved with inscriptions kiln reign of the "BRIC" in Westwood, while also looking to grow in the cracks between the blocks of fluffy yellow, does not make sense think of "six Huang Wan" joke.

The sun tan tired, sitting in the shadow of ancient Ling grace in the face of a wildflower, idly talking about how Han Shan Wang Yangming the thief, how to shake the hearts of thieves; or impotence Qi Jiguang gave a gift Zhang Juzheng, and Tianqi Emperor carpenter job if many things passed today how much to sell ...... ancient and modern, have to pay jokes.
