Located at the foot of Dafang mountain in Fangshan District of Beijing, Jinling is one of the few imperial tombs of ethnic minorities in Chinese history, and also the earliest imperial mausoleum in Beijing.
In the Ming Dynasty, because of the rise of the post Jin regime (later the Qing Dynasty), Zhu Youxiao (the brother of Zhu Youjian, the last Chongzhen emperor) was puzzled by the saying that the rise of the post Jin Dynasty was related to the "Qi" of the Jinling mausoleum, which destroyed the buildings in the mausoleum and caused the Jinling mausoleum to be destroyed. In the early Qing Dynasty, part of the tombs were restored, and there were special tomb keepers for the spring and Autumn Festival. After hundreds of years of changes and man-made destruction, the ground buildings in the mausoleum area have disappeared, and their appearance is totally different.
Jinling site
Jinling site is located at the foot of Yunfeng mountain from chechang village to longmenkou, Fangshan District, Beijing, 48 kilometers away from the urban area. Yunfeng mountain, also known as Jiulong Mountain, gets its name because it has nine ridges, such as Jiulong galloping. It is the first imperial mausoleum in Beijing, about 200 years earlier than the Ming Tombs.
For Jinling, there are few historical records. Wan Yanliang, the king of Jin hailing, built three tombs at the site of Yunfeng temple from March to October in 1155, the third year of Zhenyuan, and buried his three former emperors. In the second year, the spirits of 10 ancestors of the Jin Dynasty before the founding of the people's Republic of China were moved here for burial, each with its own title. By the end of Zhangzong's reign, all the underground palaces and above ground buildings in Jinling had been built. Jinling is divided into three parts: Imperial Mausoleum, imperial mausoleum and Zhaoyu. The boundary of the mausoleum was 78 km in the period of Dading and 64 km in the period of Daan. There are walls in the mausoleum area, and earthen forts are built every certain distance. After the Jin Dynasty, there was no one to guard the mausoleum, and the ground part was gradually destroyed. In the Ming Dynasty, because of the rise of the later Jin Dynasty, the Ming emperor was puzzled by the saying that the rise of the later Jin Dynasty was related to Jinling, so he demolished the ground buildings of Jinling. In the early Qing Dynasty, some tombs were restored, and there were special tomb keepers for the spring and Autumn Festival. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, it was repaired, but later it was seriously damaged, and there was almost no trace of the above ground part of Jinling. Since 1986, the Beijing Municipal Department of cultural relics has carried out a survey of Jinling, determined the specific location of Jinling in Yunfeng mountain, the branch of Dafang mountain, and found jinruizong's jingling.
Jinling has mountains and waters. It has a vast territory and excellent geomantic omen. It is also the mausoleum of a generation of emperors ruled by China's ethnic minorities. It is 45 kilometers away from Beijing. No matter from the perspective of cultural relics Archaeology and tourism, it is of great significance to carry out "scientific protection and rational utilization".
