Ancient Humanities

According to the site selection of Ming Tombs, it is actually the combination of the ancients. In terms of geomantic omen, Zuo Qinglong and you Baihu. The left dragon refers to Mang Mountain, and the right tiger is today's tiger valley. Mang Mountain was chosen by Chongzhen as the site of his mausoleum because it was close to mountains and rivers and looked like a bosom. However, Li Zicheng died of hanging himself in the capital. Mang Mountain is more and more beautiful under the tide of socialist construction and compulsory tree planting. "Pines and cypresses floating clouds painting for thousands of years, green mountains and green waters with thousands of ancient sounds" has become the praise and comment of posterity.
