Why can t I find the tomb of the emperor and the tomb of the Yuan Dynasty?

Most of our knowledge about the tombs of the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty is related to some historical records of the Ming Dynasty, but many historical records of the Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty by the Ming Dynasty are recorded and described according to the approved caliber of the Ming Dynasty rulers at that time, the most typical of which are "The Secret History of the Yuan Dynasty", "** Historical Outline" and so on. Many people in modern times still confuse the tomb of Genghis Khan with the tomb of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, in fact, since Kublai Khan established the Yuan Dynasty, the four Mongol khanates were no longer under the jurisdiction of Kublai Khan and the Yuan Emperor, and the Yuan Emperor never returned to their place of origin except when they arrived in Shangdu. Although the origin of the Mongols was still under the control of the Yuan Dynasty, this control could only be administrative.

In the Ming Dynasty Ye Ziqi's "Grass and Muzi", it is recorded that the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty drove a landslide, "used two pieces of wood, hollowed out it, and combined the size of the humanoid shape into a coffin, and placed the body in ......."Add paint, finish, then ** as the circle, three circles (hoop two ends, middle)". Then, dig a deep ditch and bury it together, "with ten thousand horses to ravage it."

Kill the camels on them, and guard them with a thousand horses. In the coming year, when the grass is born, the tent will be moved and dispersed, and the hope will be peaceful, and people will not know it. The above account makes people quite puzzled, one of the doubts:

We have now unearthed some tombs of Mongolian nobles of the Yuan Dynasty, these tombs not only have tombs, but also burials, why do Mongolian nobles have tombs, but the Yuan emperors do not? But it doesn't make sense to practice secret burial. Doubt 2:

The replacement of emperors in the Yuan Dynasty was mostly obtained by force, so why did they spend a lot of money and manpower to transport their enemies to distant places of origin for simple burial after seizing the throne? Question 3: The Yuan Dynasty governed the country according to the Han law, and the ethnic habits of the Han people were respected by the Mongols.

Then why did the Mongol nobles of the Yuan Dynasty practice burial like the Han Chinese? Obviously, some of the records of the tombs of the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty in the historical records of the Ming Dynasty are largely different from the facts, and I always think that the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty deliberately concealed the fact of their own tombs, because the secrecy was done well, so that the later Ming Dynasty knew little about the imperial tombs of the Yuan Dynasty, so they had to rely on speculation to write this blank record.

The burial customs of the Mengyuan Emperor are exactly the same as the funeral customs of the Huaxia people in the Central Plains before the Warring States Period, the so-called "burial person, Tibetan also", "no seal and no tree" on the ground, that is, no sealing mounds, no stone tablets and other markers, making it difficult for people to find the exact location of the tomb, to ensure that the dead who sleep under the bottom are not disturbed. Due to the dense population, frequent construction and tomb robbery, there are many such tombs found in the Central Plains, such as the tombs of Shang Dynasty kings and nobles in Yinxu, and the tombs of Jin monarchs and nobles in the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period in Quwo, Shanxi.

However, the northern foot of Mount Kent in Mobei is a vast and desolate place with sparse population both in the thirteenth century and today, so it is difficult for people to find the tomb of Emperor Mengyuan intentionally or unintentionally.

1. During the Qin and Han dynasties, Donghu (the predecessor of Mongolia) and the Xiongnu stood side by side, and Donghu may have suffered losses at the hands of the Xiongnu due to the relationship between the tombs of the Donghu kings, so Donghu and later Mongolia did not set up tombs for their leaders! 2. Mongolia is a nomadic people, living by water and grass, not settled in the same place, and can not often take care of the mausoleum, and the Mongolian emperor has a lot of funerary goods, because he does not want to be robbed of the tomb, so there is no mausoleum, the trouble of the province 3 Mongolia's greatest hero, Genghis Khan, did not have a mausoleum, and of course the later Mongol emperor did the same, so it became a rule

A single wooden coffin is a coffin made by cutting a section of a large tree and hollowing out the middle. Three golden hoops were added to the outside to secure the coffin and prevent the coffin from falling apart, which is recorded in history!

After Donghu was defeated by the Xiongnu, it was divided into two branches

One is Mongolia

One is the Khitan

After Genghis Khan died of illness in Ningxia (Western Xia) that year, his body was transported to a place at the foot of Kent Mountain in Mobei and buried in a deep pit on the surface. His body was stored in a wooden coffin. The so-called single-plank coffin is a coffin made by cutting off a section of a large tree and hollowing out the middle.

After the coffin is buried, the soil is backfilled, and then ten thousand horses are flattened. In order to prevent outsiders from seeing the traces of the groundbreaking, after the ten thousand horses had set foot on the ground, they had to use tents to enclose the surrounding area, and only when the grass on the tomb ground grew and was no different from the surrounding grass did they remove the tents, so that the location of the tomb would not leak. It is recorded that after the whole work was completed, the Mongols killed a baby camel on the surface of the burial ground, at which point the mother camel who accompanied the baby camel would cry out in grief and remember the place.

In the second year, when the sacrifice was made, the she-camel was brought and far away, and the she-camel would gallop over in grief and cry out at the place where the baby camel had been killed, so that those who came to the sacrifice would find the exact place of the burial. Since the tombs of the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty were all in this form of secret burial, a single royal tomb of the Yuan Dynasty has not been found so far. The so-called discovery of Genghis Khan's tomb is, at best, a mound of clothes, not a burial place for corpses.

In the past, when I was in class, the teacher said that this may be because the nomads have been fighting for many years and have made too many enemies, so in order to avoid enemies or tomb robbers, the burial place is hidden from the family.

The mausoleums of the emperors of the Central Plains are all built very magnificently, especially the tombs of the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties have underground palaces, the surface buildings are also very grand, the stone archway, the Shinto, the stone statues, the treasure city, the sacrificial hall are indispensable, the gold and silver treasures in the underground palace are countless, so that the death is like life, but it also leaves a lot of thoughts for the tomb robbers, and has buried a huge disaster for themselves, and the emperor's tombs that have been stolen and destroyed are countless. Comparatively speaking, the Mongols are much smarter, the tombs of the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty are almost invisible on the surface, and the mausoleum of Genghis Khan, a generation of Tianjiao, is still a mystery, even with satellite detectors.

The fact that the tombs of the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty are not visible on the surface has a lot to do with the funeral methods and traditions of the Mongol rulers, who advocated thin burials, and burial after death was very simple, compared to the Han rulers. After the death of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, he only used a piece of wood hollowed out of wood to make a coffin, and the most extravagant thing was to make three gold hoops with ** and tie them to the coffin. How is it like the Han ruler who wants to make up the yellow intestine inscription, because the mountain is the mausoleum, and the underground palace is the top of the treasure?

The funeral goods are not even a dime. The burial place of the chariot and horse for the funeral of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty is extremely concealed and confidential, just go to the grassland and the mountains, all the people you see along the way are killed, the approximate location is in the Altai Mountains, the specific location of the burial is randomly selected, the horse team does not stop before and after, dig a ditch at will in this place, and then put the emperor's coffin into it, and then backfill the soil with ten thousand horses to step on it.

Ten thousand horses trampled so that no trace of excavation could be seen, and then a huge camp was set up in this place, no one was allowed to enter, and elite troops were sent to guard it, and only after two or three years, when the vegetation here grew exactly like the surrounding area, did the camp be removed. The workers who dug the pit would all be shot and buried in the pit as the emperor's funeral offerings. In order to facilitate future generations to come and pay tribute to the emperor, a small camel was killed at the place where the emperor was buried.

When the mother camel saw the death of the baby camel, she was very sad, so she naturally wrote down this place, and in the future, she relied on the guidance of the mother camel to reach the place where the emperor was buried to worship. The way to find a mausoleum with a camel may be arranged by later generations of the Mongols, after all, the life span of a camel is not as long as that of a person, and the camel to find a mausoleum cannot withstand logical reasoning.

There are different theories about the reasons why the Mongol rulers chose the strange burial method, one theory is that they were afraid of retribution, because they carried out large-scale destruction and theft of the tombs of the Southern Song emperors, and even used the head of Song Lizong as a wine container to drink. However, the approximate location of the burial of the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty can be found, and 13 of the 15 emperors of the Yuan Dynasty were buried in the valley of Qiyuan in the Altai Mountains.

Because the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty used thin burials, and the burial places were relatively hidden, they were basically impossible to find after a long time.

Before the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongols had their own unique funeral customs, which were characterized by thin burials and simple funerals, and the nomads often migrated around due to their living habits, so their funeral rites were very simple. When the deceased is buried, put the deceased into the middle of a tent used before his death, and put the burial things, such as horses, bows and arrows, meat and other items, into the soil together, relatives and friends pray next to the land, even if all the funeral rituals are completed, in their opinion, death is to return to the earth, return to nature, so the funeral is also very simple.

Since Genghis Khan, no one has really found the tomb of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, and even the so-called tomb of Genghis Khan in Inner Mongolia is nothing more than a clothed mound.

The reason behind it is that the Mongolian funeral method still inherits the Mongolian tradition, which is related to their beliefs, not to bring in life, not to take away in death, and to advocate freedom, so the location of the mausoleum is nowhere to be found.

Basically, you can't find it, the Mongolian funeral is very peculiar, and after death, let ten thousand horses gallop to level their burial place, the same as before digging. Then kill a baby camel, sprinkle the blood in the cemetery, and let the mother camel who gave birth to the baby camel go to find it for each sacrifice, because the mother and child are connected and can find a burial place. However, as soon as the mother camel died, all the sacrifices vanished.

In the mysterious area of the Mongolian steppe, hidden; e.g.: Mausoleum of Genghis Khan;

The emperor of the Yuan Dynasty will be buried in a specific place after his death, and generally the emperor will be buried on the top of the tomb, that is, ten thousand horses will be flattened, and then in this position in front of a female camel to kill its child, if you want to come to worship or something in the future, just follow this female camel, the female camel will not go to a place, and wail, that is the tomb of this emperor, if this female camel died, then no one knows.

How brave the people are now, it's a big deal to get China out of the sky.

If you have, you can definitely find it, and I guess those who are professional tomb robbers know better.

I haven't found it yet, but I guess I'll find it later.

Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. There are no mausoleums and their funeral customs.

It has a lot to do with it. It still retains Mongolian characteristics.

The burial of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was extremely secret. According to history, all the emperors were buried in the so-called Qiyuan Valley in Mobei.

The Mongols called this cemetery the "Great Forbidden Land". "Outline of the History of Mongolia".

As a non-Hamhaledun.

Persian scholar Rasht, Historiography

Genghis Khan was spoken of many times.

The forbidden land is in the mountains of Burhan Heldun, the youngest son Baolei, and the grandson Meng Gehehan, Kublai Khan.

Khakhan, Ali Buge, and other descendants were also buried there.

However, it is also said that there is a forbidden land of Genghis Khan in Budawenduer, near the Xue Lingge River, where Genghis Khan's forbidden land is buried except for Kublai Khan, and all the other kings of the sect. There are many objections about where the "Great Forbidden Land" of the Yuan Dynasty is.

No matter where the Great Khan died, he would also transport his Zi Palace to Mobei. In order to keep it secret and not let people know the exact burial place of the Great Khan, on the day he went to the cemetery, if he met anyone who walked, he killed him.

To the cemetery where it is buried, the soil from the hole is formed into a block, arranged in turn, the coffin is under the coffin, and it is covered in turn. If there is any surplus soil, it will be transported to another place. There are three funeral officers, who live five miles away.

After the burial, "it will be leveled with 10,000 horses, and the grass and green side will be relieved, and it will be the same as the flat slope, and there will be no re-examination of the relics." (Meaning: trampling the ground with a large number of horses to level the ground, and waiting until the grass grows to lift the strict order, then the cemetery is the same as the ordinary grass slope, and no trace of the grave can be found.)

Years later, when the mourners died, the exact location of the burial place was never known.

The emperors of the Yuan Dynasty were the most sinicized, and many emperors could not even speak Chinese, and they were also the Great Khan of all Mongolia when they were also the emperors of China. Its funeral customs still maintain Mongolian characteristics.

After the death of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, according to custom, a log was cut in half, hollowed out in the middle, and the emperor's body was placed in it, and the two logs were wrapped tightly with gold bars on the outside. Pull this unique "coffin" with a carriage to run wild on the grassland, when the "coffin" falls, it is the place where its bones are buried, after a simple deep burial, with 10,000 horses to step on the vicinity, and then the army blockade, until the next year after the grass grows, no longer find the traces of burial, then lift the blockade. When buried, take a female camel and her son, kill the baby camel in the place where the bones are buried, and when you need to sacrifice the dead emperor in the future, take the female camel, when the female camel stops and wails and does not leave, where is the place where the bones are buried.

When the she-camel died, the emperor's burial place was no longer to be found.

Including the mausoleum of Genghis Khan, it was built later, and there is no body of Genghis Khan in it.
