Ladies and gentlemen: hello and welcome to Qingxiling. I'm your guide.Located at the foot of Yongning mountain, Yixian County, Hebei Province, 125kilometers away from Beijing. It is the mausoleum group of four emperors'mausoleums, three queens' mausoleums and some princesses, princesses andconcubines' gardens in the Qing Dynasty. With more than 50000 square meters ofmausoleum buildings, more than 1000 temples and more than 100 stone buildingsand carvings, the Xiling mausoleum is one of the largest, best preserved andmost complete Imperial Mausoleums of the Qing Dynasty in China. It is the mostoutstanding representative of mausoleum architecture in China for 20__ years. Inthe 8300 hectare protection area of the Western Qing mausoleum, there are fouremperor mausoleums, three empress mausoleums, four Royal, Princess and elderbrother's dormitories, a total of 14 mausoleums and two ancillary buildings(yongsifu and Xinggong). There are 78 people buried, including four emperorsYongzheng, Jiaqing, Daoguang and Guangxu, nine queens, 57 concubines, twoprinces and six elder brothers. There are more than one thousand palacebuildings and more than one hundred stone buildings in the mausoleum area, whosearchitectural form and regulations clearly reflect the feudal social rules andregulations. Four Imperial Mausoleums and three rear mausoleums are covered withyellow glazed tiles, while concubines, princesses and princes' dormitories arecovered with green glazed tiles or grey cloth tiles. These ancient buildings aresurrounded by green pines and cypresses, competing for glory in the vast forest.There is also Yongning mountain with five colors of auspicious clouds, standingbehind the mausoleum. The Yishui River, which traces back to the spiritualsource of Bagong, flows slowly in front of the dahongmen, which makes the QingDynasty's western mausoleum more beautiful and grand. Among them, the largestYongzheng mausoleum, located in the center of the mausoleum area, is theearliest and largest building in the Western mausoleum. The rest of themausoleums are distributed in the East and West. The Shinto of the tailingmausoleum is made of three layers of huge bricks. On both sides of the Shintoare green pines and cypresses. From south to north, there are more than 40 largeand small buildings. The first building is a five arch bridge entering themausoleum area. There are three tall stone archways in the north of the bridge.The architecture of the memorial archway is solemn and beautiful with harmoniouscolors. The three stone squares, all in the form of five rooms, six columns andeleven floors, are built with blue and white stones, and engraved withmountains, water, flowers, grass, animals and other graphics. Their vivid formsare regarded as representative works of Xiling architectural art. The tomb ofJiaqing is called Changling. Changling and tailing are juxtaposed, with the samescale as tailing. Jiaqing was the 15th son of Emperor Qianlong. When EmperorQianlong passed on the throne to him, he selected the site of his mausoleum onekilometer south of the tailing mausoleum. The long'en Hall of Changling is verydistinctive. The ground is paved with precious yellow mottled stones. The stoneslabs are also decorated with purple patterns. They are smooth and dazzling, andseem to be full of gems. The pillar is covered with gold and decorated withclouds and dragons. Daoguang mausoleum with exquisite craftsmanship is calledMuling mausoleum. The mausoleum is characterized by its small scale, withoutFangcheng, minglou, dabeiting, shixiangsheng and other buildings, but itsengineering weight is stronger than that of the two mausoleums of Tai and Chang.The whole wall, brick to brick joints, dry grouting, wall flush solid. Thebuilding technology of longen hall is exquisite. The main hall is made of Phoebeand is not decorated with oil paint. The original color of logs is maintained.When the door is opened, the aroma of Phoebe comes. There are dragons in eachsmall square on the ceiling, and purlin Fang, queti, also carved with upstreamdragons and flat dragons. These dragons open their mouths and puff their clouds.Chongling is the mausoleum of Guangxu, 5 kilometers east of the tailingmausoleum. It is the last existing mausoleum in China. The whole mausoleum areahas luxuriant trees and pleasant scenery. The ancient buildings in the imperialpalace where the emperor lived can accommodate tourists. At the end of the QingDynasty, Chen Zengrong, commander-in-chief of Taining Town, loved the beautifulmountains and rivers in his spare time, and determined eight sceneries of theWestern mausoleum, which were "Jingguan Ziqi", "resisting horses and rushingwaves", "clouds and emeralds", "Qifeng sunset", "Emei evening bell", "Fushanholding the sun", "Huagai Yanlan" and "Yishui cold current" . It is because ofthese pleasant natural scenery, which set off the auspicious land of "tenthousand years of dragon and tiger, every night of ghosts and gods", thatYongzheng, the third generation emperor of the Qing Dynasty, left his father andancestors and opened the first Xiling in Yizhou, in order to make the QingDynasty more prosperous. On March 2, 1737, Emperor Qianlong Fengan his father inthe underground palace of tailing. Later, Emperor Qianlong came up with a way tomake the best of both sides in order to make the eastern and Western mausoleumslast forever. Later emperors were buried in the eastern and Western mausoleumsof the Qing Dynasty in the way of "Zhaomu order and alternate generations".Therefore, he first built his own Yu mausoleum in shengshuiyu, which is withinthe boundary of the eastern Mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty. He was accompanied byhis grandfather Kangxi, and his son Jiaqing built a Chang mausoleum beside theTai mausoleum to accompany his grandfather Yongzheng. According to the system ofZhaomu, Daoguang's mausoleum was originally built in baohuayu of the easternmausoleum. After seven years of mausoleum construction and burial in empressXiaomu, he found that the underground palace was seeping continuously. Daoguanghad to choose a high and flat place in the Western mausoleum to demolish themausoleum of baohuayu and build a Mausoleum in the Western mausoleum. After theemperors of Xianfeng and Tongzhi, Guangxu also built the tomb in Xiling. If itis said that the mountains and rivers in the Western mausoleum are all made bynature, then after 185 years from the construction of the tailing mausoleum tothe completion of Chongling mausoleum, the ingenious combination of humanlandscape and natural landscape has been formed, and the cosmology of "makingman and nature in one" has been fully reflected in the mausoleum architecture.As sun dinglie said in Yongning mountain retinue Ji Cheng, "the mountains aretowering and vigorous from Taihang. The mountains are lofty and steep. They archfar out. The Lingyan is green and the environment is clean. There are countlesshills down there. It is like a finger in the hand. There is a flat developmentbetween the two hills. The tombs are in the place where the petals of flowersand the bamboo shoots are protected layer by layer." the dragon is flat and thePhoenix is bright. It has a long history The front and back arches are like"jade shoots in Jincheng". Well, dear tourists, the Qingxiling is here for you.Thank you for your support!
