Are there any rules for naming ancient Chinese mausoleums?

The name of Qianling was determined in the early days of construction. There are two reasons for calling it "Qian": first, the mausoleum is in the northwest direction of Chang'an, and the northwest direction is in the "Qian" position of Bagua; Second, the "Book of Changes: Hexagram Biography" says, "Dry, the sky is also ,......."For the king, for the father.

During his lifetime, Tang Gaozong was honored as "Emperor Dasheng Emperor" and nicknamed "Emperor Dasheng Dahongxiao Emperor". The word "Qian" in the Qianling Tomb is based on Gaozong's honorific name and nickname, and takes the meaning of "Qianwei Tian".

The tomb of Xiao Yanyan, the empress dowager of Liao, is also called Qianling, which should be because she is called "Chengtian Empress Dowager", and the meaning of "Qianwei Tian" is called Qianling.

The name Qianling is really good, it should be what every emperor wants" but the name of the mausoleum is set by later generations, not decided by themselves, just like many emperors' nicknames are not very good. And other names are also very good, like Zhaoling, the ancients used the word Zhao as "Zhangming" and "Xianyang" to explain; Jingling, Yongling is also good, not all emperors have to move closer to the sky, and if it is good, it cannot be used indiscriminately. Otherwise, it seems a bit redundant to call a celebrity to make so many words in the mausoleum all over the world.

My own understanding may be a little wrong, hehe

The main burial of Qianling was Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, and Wu Zetian was buried as the queen.

It's not necessarily, it's good, but it's not to be used indiscriminately. Our Chinese funerals believe in Feng Shui. In addition to what was said on the second floor, it is also necessary to cooperate with some of their own requirements and so on, so the general rule should be to look at the previous feng shui and where the ancestral tombs of each of their dynasties are.

For example, the Qing Dynasty is specific to that mountain.

It is not appropriate to insist that the rules are not appropriate. Hehe, it's just my opinion, you can look at other people's. ^-

1. The identity of the person buried is different:

1. "Mausoleum" refers to the tomb of the emperor.

The tombs of Chinese emperors began to be called "mausoleums", and they first appeared in Zhao, Chu, Qin and other countries after the middle of the Warring States period. "Historical Records of the Zhao Family" contains Zhao Suhou's fifteenth year of running Shouling. "Qin Shi Huang Benji" contains the burial of King Huiwen of Qin, the burial of King Wu Yongling, and the burial of King Xiaowen of Shouling.

This is the beginning of the king's tomb called "mausoleum".

2. "Tomb" refers to the grave of ordinary people other than emperors.

Second, the height of the surface building is different:

1. According to the regulations, the emperor's tomb can be built nine zhang high, but the emperor's tomb always exceeds this height.

Because the feudal royal power continued to increase at that time, in order to show the supremacy of the supreme ruler, his tomb not only covered a vast area, but also the height of the enclosed soil was like a mountain mausoleum, so the emperor's tomb was called "mausoleum".

2. The tomb is not a grave bag.

Mausoleum name: Named after the mausoleums of the emperors of the past dynasties, they are all words with auspicious meanings. These words have had many names in the historical city of Nanjing, China, over the long years, and the most resounding of them is "".
