Site selection and construction

The site of Dingling mausoleum was built by Jiangxi governor Ying * and Li Bu Shang Shu Bai * and others. Xianfeng also visited it personally. He thought that Pingan Valley "the left dragon is winding, the right tiger is bending, the cicada wings and ox horn are wrapped up; the boundary of shrimp whisker and goldfish is clearly divided, the aura is condensed, and the cave technique is very true Xun belongs to shangjidi.

Although Dingling was built in the ninth year of Xianfeng, the large-scale construction was not long after the death of emperor Xianfeng. There was a controversy on the regulation of Dingling. Song Jin, the Minister of industry, thought that Muling abolished the large stele tower, stone statue, two pillar gate, square city and Ming tower, and reduced the scale of longen hall and east west side hall, which was simple and unadorned and saved people's resources. Moreover, when Emperor Wenzong stopped his coffin for burial, the mausoleum project should be carried out as soon as possible. The proposal of song and Jin Dynasties was strongly refuted by Shi duo, Prince of rites and others. Finally, the empress dowagers of the two palaces adopted Shi duo's proposal, which was mainly based on the traditional regulation of ancestral mausoleum. They followed the example of Mu Ling, removed the big stele tower and the two pillar gate, and no longer carved scriptures and Buddha statues in the underground palace. The regulation of Dingling is the blueprint of Huiling and Chongling, which is a link between the past and the future.

There are two types of materials used in the Dingling Mausoleum: one is the materials for preparation, which were purchased by Emperor Xianfeng in succession before his death, and the other is the materials used in the original baohuayu mausoleum after emperor Xianfeng died. Baohuayu mausoleum was originally the mausoleum of Emperor Daoguang, but it was abandoned because of the underground water. The main purpose of using the old materials there is to save money and shorten the construction period. According to the records, most of the old materials used are stone materials, such as stone gate, stone statue, stone pillar, etc.

The inner layer of Dingling underground palace rises, the architectural layout is compact, the height is scattered, and it has an obvious sense of hierarchy.

Emperor Xianfeng and sakda, empress xiaodexian, were buried in the underground palace of Dingling.

Shunshuiyu, located to the east of Dingling, is the cemetery of emperor Xianfeng's concubines. The building was completed in August of the fourth year of Tongzhi.

Some old materials of baohuayu imperial concubine's dormitory were used in the construction of Dingling imperial concubine's dormitory, including 5 stone beds, 5 stone gates, 4 tiles with Fangzi and hairpin, 5 middle sills, 10 door frames, 10 horseshoe pillars, and 37752 old bricks.

From design to construction, Dingling imperial concubine garden was built according to the standard imperial concubine garden. From the south to the north, there are: one arch bridge and one flat bridge, one East-West class room, one gate, one stove on the left side, one five rooms in the hall, three garden doors (including one glazed gate and two wall doors). There are three rows of Baoding in the backyard, five of which are planned to be surrounded by Zhuyuan.

There are 15 concubines of emperor Xianfeng buried in Dingling Imperial Palace, including 2 imperial concubines, 2 imperial concubines, 4 imperial concubines, 4 concubines and 3 concubines.
