Questions about the imperial tombs of the Yuan Dynasty? Where is the tomb of the emperor of the Yuan

It remains a mystery to this day! There is no way to verify!

In the later period of China's feudal society, the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties built the capital of Beijing. The tombs of the Ming emperors were in Changping, and the tombs of the Qing emperors were in Zunhua and Yixian, both of which were not too far from the city of Beijing. So, where is the tomb of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty?

Some people may say: "Isn't the mausoleum of Genghis Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan, in the Yijin Boluo tribe in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region?" "Actually, it was a monumental building, and Genghis Khan's body was not buried in it.

Today we have not found any of the tombs of the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty, so where the tombs of the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty are located is really a mystery to us. The reason for this mystery is the Mongolian funeral custom of "burying deep without seeing the grave". This custom originated with Genghis Khan.

On August 25, 1227 (the seventh month of the summer calendar), Genghis Khan died of illness in Qingshui County. When he was dying, he told his subordinates to "keep the funeral secret" and implement "secret burial". According to the "History of the Mongols of Tosan", it is recorded:

The generals returned to Mongolia, and the news of the death of the Khan was known, and the guards were ......killed in this long distanceAfter the burial, the surrounding trees are overgrown, and it becomes a dense forest, and the tomb is no longer under the tree. ”

After Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, set the capital of Dadu (now Beijing), he still continued the custom of "secret funeral". 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 funeral of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was very simple, no graves, no Ming Lou, no waste of arable land, and it was safe and confidential. Even his descendants don't know where his tomb is, let alone outsiders and descendants. Of course, maybe one day, archaeologists will discover the tombs of the Yuan emperors, and that will surely be big news.

Since ancient times, the emperors of China's feudal dynasties have valued mausoleums very important, and there are also large-scale tombs after death, such as the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

Ming Tombs.

And so on, but in Chinese history, only the tomb of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty is a mystery, not only a generation of Tianjiao Genghis Khan.

The tomb is nowhere to be found, even the ancestor Kublai Khan.

There is no trace of the imperial tombs, so the question is, what is the tomb group of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty? How is their burial method different from that of the traditional Han Chinese?

According to the Ming Dynasty literati Ye Ziqi's "Cao Mu Zi", after the death of Genghis Khan, the Mongols split a large tree in half, hollowed out it to hold Genghis Khan's body, and then dug a deep chasm and buried it in it. Tens of thousands of horses were then driven to level the mound and thousands of soldiers were sent to guard the mausoleum until the grass grew the following year, when the soldiers dispersed, and no one knew where Genghis Khan's tomb was.

From the above description, we can see that due to the repeated theft of the tombs of the emperors of the past dynasties, the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty chose the method of "thin burial" in order to ensure that their tombs were not patronized by tomb thieves, that is, after the death of the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty, they did not bury their valuable jewelry in the tombs, which can reduce the threat of tomb robbers to their tombs. At the same time, after the death of the Yuan emperor, the location of the tomb of the Yuan emperor became a mystery because the Mongols at that time forbade any Han Chinese to participate in their burial ceremonies.

According to historical records, the tombs of the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty are located in the Qilin Valley.

It is also called the "Great Forbidden Land" by the Mongolians. According to Persian scholars, Genghis Khan's burial place is on Mount Burhan Haldun, and in addition to Genghis Khan, there are also burials here.

Meng Ge and the ** family of the Yuan Dynasty.

other descendants. So where is this so-called "forbidden land"?

In this regard, some experts believe that the tombs of the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty are located near Yijin Horo in Ordos; But other scholars believe that Genghis Khan's tomb may be in present-day Mongolia.

In the west of the Kelulun River in the territory, where do you think the tomb of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty may be located?
