The Qing Dynasty has been dead for 108 years, why are there still people guarding the mausoleum, and

These people should not be mausoleum keepers, they should be the guardians of the scenic spots, because now these mausoleums have become national scenic spots, and the scenic spots will have ticket income, so part of these income will be used to pay the wages of these guardians.

Because the Qing mausoleum has gradually become a historical relic, both the national ** and the new China have taken care of it, and of course the cost is also paid by the state.

Now many of these mausoleum guards are following the practices of their ancestors, but now there are mausoleum guards are some national-level cultural relics units, and the wages are naturally given by the state or related **.

We all know that our country has always had a lot of cultural traditions, and since a long time ago, the course of civilization in our country has begun, and it has become more and more precious over time. Different people have different views on life and death, such as Sima Qian, who once mentioned in the Book of Bao Ren'an that "people are inherently dead, or heavier than Mount Tai, or lighter than Hongmao".

In our culture, people attach more importance to life and death, some people do not care about life and death, such as generals and soldiers, and some people attach great importance to life and death, such as emperors and magnates. Especially for the emperor, the Qing Dynasty's Cheng Vulture once wrote a poem called "Four Chapters of the Cold Food Song of the Immortal City", which has such a sentence: "Tingshan Mountain guards the mausoleum households, and forgets to live under the mausoleum for a long time", this is the life of the mausoleum keepers.

Most emperors will look for people to guard their tombs, so in such a situation, the profession of tomb keeper came into being.

We know that, according to historical records, there was a case in history when Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, looked for a mausoleum keeper to guard the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. He had arranged for twenty households, all of whom were subsidized by the state, and although the work of caring for the mausoleum was boring, it was indeed a very formal profession, and it was recognized by the emperor, and the treatment was not bad. However, in addition to the mausoleum keepers of the imperial seal, there are two other kinds of mausoleum keepers, one is the degraded court officials, who were demoted to guard the Huangling Tomb because of mistakes, and the other is to spontaneously go to guard the mausoleum, there are many such examples, such as Yuan Chonghuan, he was a famous general in the late Ming Dynasty, and was buried by his advisers after his death, and the mausoleum was guarded by their family for generations, and it has been passed down to this day.

Many people have such a question, that is, more than 100 years after the end of the Qing Dynasty, why are there still mausoleum guards? Who pays them?

It is normal to have such questions, because most of the tomb guards in the Qing Dynasty were imperial seals, so they have been arranged to guard the imperial tombs for generations, not only need to maintain the mausoleum every day, but also to ensure the safety of the mausoleum, to avoid the patronage of tomb robbers, this profession is very good. But after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, it was more embarrassing, many mausoleum guards after a long period of reproduction, will gradually become a village, in this way, they are not only mausoleum keepers, but also villagers, their task is no longer only to guard the mausoleum, but need to farm like ordinary people.

In fact, many descendants of the mausoleum keepers do not know that their ancestors used to be mausoleum keepers, and in festivals like ancestor worship, they will not sacrifice on a large scale like their ancestors, but simply express it. There are also descendants who have become new mausoleum keepers, but such professions have been attributed to state management, such as maintenance managers, they are also considered "mausoleum keepers".

However, the times are developing faster and faster, and the profession of mausoleum keeper has almost disappeared. Countless people once yearned for this profession, they thought it was a sacred mission, but now it is more about the legends of the mausoleum keepers, they have become a thing of the past, more like a memorial than an actual profession.

And they don't have to pay their salaries, because these people really live here, and they are self-sufficient here, and they are living very well.

No one paid them a salary, but this life was so ingrained in their minds that they thought it was their duty to guard the grave.

Although it has been more than 100 years since the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the tomb keepers have been passed down from generation to generation, because this is already their faith inheritance, they were born to guard the mausoleum, and we in New China will pay them wages.

<> Chinese culture, life and death are very important. Although there are some more alternative ones who don't care about life and death, for the emperor, life and death are really a very important thing. Therefore, the emperor also attaches great importance to his grave and what happens after death.

As a result, a special profession emerged, that is, the mausoleum keeper.

The mausoleum keeper has a complete system in the Qing Dynasty, the system not only stipulates when to do what, but also the specifications and standards of the event, etc., if you look at it this way, the "mausoleum keeper" belongs to the civil servant, and the status is not low, after all, the emperor is more afraid of his mausoleum being stolen, so the mausoleum keeper has to find his own clan people hereditary (it is estimated that he thinks about the same ancestor, and will not do things that cannot enter the ancestral hall) That is to say, the mausoleum keeper at this time belongs to a relatively high-level, the leader of the establishment of public institutions, this kind of person is of course Qing ** Salary, and the pay is not low.

In the future, in fact, the concept of guarding the tomb has gradually faded. In the past, when the Qing Dynasty had just fallen, those mausoleum guards were full of affection for the Qing Dynasty, even if they were not paid, as long as they had a stutter, they were unwilling to leave the imperial mausoleum. But there was a day when these people would grow old and die, and after they died, the situation changed completely.

Although their descendants also lived in the place where the mausoleum keepers guarded the mausoleum, although they also obeyed the education of their fathers. But they don't have any feelings for the Qing Dynasty, and since they were born, they don't know what the Qing Dynasty is, so in their minds, the work of guarding the tomb has gradually faded. So much so that in the future, in fact, everyone has no concept of guarding the tomb.

However, those who did not go out to work still lived in their native places all their lives.

But with the development of the times, the profession of guarding the tomb has disappeared from the stage of history, especially for the protection of the royal gardens, few people will think of some of the stories of their ancestors, and the sacred and mysterious duties they shouldered. The mausoleum keeper has only become a legend. It's more like a totem or a commemoration, so as to stay away from real life.

The relevant cultural relics authorities, because these mausoleum keepers are their employees or hired personnel, so they pay their salaries.

The State Administration for the Protection of Cultural Relics pays salaries to those who guard the Imperial Mausoleum. They are all state workers.

Now the people who guard the imperial mausoleum are basically paid wages by the special cultural relics department, after all, the imperial mausoleum is also an important cultural relic in ancient times, and the state also attaches great importance to it.

These people who guard the emperor's mausoleum are paid by **, after all, they also have merit.

Their wages are paid by the family members of the cemetery or the local **, because there are very few people who dare to do this job, so the salary is generally very high.

Because the descendants of these grave keepers have lived in Linqu for generations, their family land is here, and even if no one pays him, he can earn a living just by farming.

Because the Qing Emperor's Mausoleum has become a place protected by the state cultural relics department, it is necessary to arrange for people to guard the mausoleum, and their salaries are of course paid by the relevant cultural relics departments, because they are the employees or hired people of these departments.

No one paid them, they were all the most loyal patriots of the Qing Dynasty, so they would always keep it.

Now it is a tourist attraction and belongs to cultural relics. The mausoleum guards should be paid directly by the state, and they are of the same nature as the staff of attractions such as the Forbidden City

Although the Qing Dongling Tomb is the mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty royal family, it is also a cultural relic, and the state is still very concerned about the protection of cultural relics, and the salary of the mausoleum keeper should be paid by the state. They are the descendants of the Qing Dynasty Taining Association, which is mainly composed of people from the Three Banners, so if you look at it this way, the reason for persevering is not only a kind of inheritance, but also a kind of faith. It's similar to the feeling of intangible cultural heritage.

The Qing Dynasty has been dead for 108 years, why are there still mausoleum guards in the Qing Dynasty? And who pays their salaries? In fact, although the Qing Dongling Tomb is the mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty royal family, it is also a cultural relic, and the state is still very concerned about the protection of cultural relics, so the mausoleum keeper should be paid directly by the state.

They are the same as the staff of attractions such as the Forbidden City.

The mausoleum keeper is a manifestation of the promise made by the owner of the tomb that they can be self-sufficient, right in the vicinity of the mausoleum.

Because the Qing Emperor's Mausoleum has become a cultural relic, the cultural relics department will send people to guard it; Of course, it is the cultural relics related departments that pay them salaries, after all, they are the employees or hired people of these departments.
