Chongling

Chongling is the last Mausoleum of Chinese emperors. It was built in 1909 and completed in 1915. The number and scale of Chongling's buildings are completely in accordance with Huiling of Tongzhi. The construction is skillful, and there are rare Podocarpus arvensis and Pinus Yinsong in the instrument trees of the cemetery. Emperor Guangxu and his Empress Longyu were buried together in the underground palace.

500 meters to the east of Chongling, there is Chongling imperial concubine's garden, where two sisters, Jinfei and Zhenfei, the concubine of Emperor Guangxu, are buried.

Later, she was moved to Chongfei mausoleum.

Burying people

Jinfei

Duankang's imperial concubine (1874-1924), namely Jinfei, was born on August 20, the 13th year of Tongzhi. In the first month of the 20th year, Empress Dowager Cixi ordered Jin to be Jinfei. In October, she disobeyed the Empress Dowager's order and was sent down to be a noble person. In November of the 21st year, she was still canonized as Jinfei In October of the 34th year, Emperor Xuantong of the Jin Dynasty was honored as the imperial concubine Kao Jin, who was also the king of the Zhou Dynasty. In renxu of the Xun Kingdom, Emperor Kanghuang of the Jin Dynasty was honored as the imperial concubine of the Kang Dynasty, who was one of the four imperial concubines. He passed away on September 22, the 13th year of the Republic of China. He was 52 years old and was named empress Wen Jing.

Princess

Queshun imperial concubine (1876-1900), namely Zhenfei, was born in February of the second year of Guangxu. In February of the 15th year of Guangxu, he was canonized as Zhenpin. In the 20th year of Guangxu, he became Zhenfei again. In the 21st year, he was canonized as Zhenfei. In July of the 26th year, the capital fell. Empress Dowager Cixi forced her to throw herself into the well and died at the age of 25. In November of the 27th year, Emperor Dezong returned to the palace and chased the Jin Dynasty to become the imperial concubine. She was buried in Tiancun village outside Xizhimenwai. After emperor Xuantong succeeded, she was named the imperial concubine of Keshun. In the fourth year of the Republic of China, her sister imperial concubine Jin moved the imperial concubine to the palace of Emperor Guangxu Chongling.

Burial process

On the fourth day after the death of Jinfei, Feng Yuxiang's head teacher returned to Beijing, and the Qing Dynasty's small imperial court could not do a big funeral. It was not until November 15 that Feng Yuxiang expelled Puyi from the palace that he gave her a simple funeral in Chongling Imperial Palace according to the system of the Republic of China. This is the last Royal member of the Qing Dynasty to be buried in the Western Tomb of the Qing Dynasty.

However, it was stolen during the period of Japanese puppet rule in Peiping.

Zhenfei, the younger sister of Jinfei, was only 24 years old when the Allied forces of eight countries invaded Beijing in 1900. After Cixi returned to Beijing, she ordered the body to be fished out, and then the princess was buried in Xitian village of Beijing.

In 1913, empress Longyu died and was buried with emperor dezongjing (Guangxu) in Chongling, Jinlongyu, Xiling.

In March 1915, Princess Zhenfei's spiritual pivot was moved to lianggezhuang palace of the Western Qing Dynasty. It was not until the completion of Chongfei's garden that Chongfei was buried in the palace beside Guangxu Chongling. The posthumous title of Xundi Puyi was "Keshun", and Qing Rongquan of the military academy was responsible for the burial of the imperial concubine.

Funeral: first of all, the gold coffin of Princess Zhenfei was set out from Xitian village of Beijing, entered Fuchengmen, passed through Xisi pailou and xichang'an street, went out of Zhengyangmen to the railway station, and then changed into a hearse and transported to lianggezhuang palace of Xiling. Then it was moved and buried in the West Tomb of Chongling imperial concubine's garden.

The tomb of Zhenfei in Chongling imperial concubine garden is still intact.

Together with other mausoleums of emperors and empresses in the Western Mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty, Chongling imperial palace is listed as a national key cultural relic protection unit.

Architecture

Although Chongfei garden was built in the late Qing Dynasty, the quality of the project is slightly inferior to that of the imperial concubine garden built in the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, but the scale is not reduced. There are 12 buildings in Chongfei garden. The southernmost end of the garden is a three hole stone arch bridge and two stone flat bridges, which are side by side across the long mangaogou in Sanhua. North of the bridge is a brick plaited square, with a five room court house on both sides of the square. Chaofang slightly north, there are three buwa Banfang. The palace gate is on the stone platform on the north side of the square, opposite the stone bridge. Inside the gate of the palace is another square. In the middle of the square stands the longen hall with a single eaves and a green glazed tile roof. Four major sacrifices are held every year, and two minor sacrifices are held here. On both sides of the main hall, green pines and cypresses make a forest. Behind longen hall is a courtyard surrounded by red walls. Three stone steps lead to three doors. After entering the three doors, there are two brick roofs at the end of the passage, namely the tombs, which are built side by side on the rectangular platform made of brick and stone. The top on the right is the tomb of Zhenfei, and the one on the left is the tomb of Jinfei. Underground, there are caves and coffins. Because both Zhenfei and Jinfei were buried as concubines, according to the regulations, the diameter of the two crowns was one Zhang and two feet.
