The cultural relics value of the obvious mausoleum, why is the obvious mausoleum not excavated?

Like the previous feudal dynasties in China, he advocated "thick burial to show filial piety", and every time the emperor died, he did not hesitate to use a lot of financial resources and manpower to build a huge mausoleum for him. These mausoleums are the concentrated embodiment of the belief in the soul in the feudal era of China, condensing the political thoughts, moral concepts and aesthetic tastes of a period; At the same time, this kind of mausoleum built with the power of the state also reflects the economic situation, the level of science and technology, and the level of construction technology at that time. Obviously, the mausoleum is a part of the "Ming and Qing Dynasty Imperial Mausoleums", and it is the material evidence of the "Great Ceremony" of major historical events in the early Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.

The specific reasons are as follows:1. Unable to protect cultural relics, we all know that after the cultural relics in the tomb are unearthed, if they are not well protected, they will quickly react with the air, and these cultural relics will also decay or even disappear completely. There is a precedent for this in large mausoleums such as the Terracotta Army.

2. It is said that there is a large amount of mercury and ancient traps in the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, which is full of dangers, and these traps can be operated until now, so needless to say, the mausoleums of the Ming Dynasty must also have them. If you don't have good excavation techniques, it will be very dangerous for the excavators.

3. This has a precedent in large mausoleums such as the Terracotta Army. If these tombs were to be excavated hastily, a lot of damage would be done to them. Therefore, the state stipulates that under normal circumstances, the royal tomb cannot be excavated, unless the tomb has been previously damaged and stolen.

The Obvious Mausoleum is the joint burial tomb of Emperor Gong Ruixian, Emperor Zhu Youqi, the father of Emperor Shizong Jiajing, and Empress Cixiaoxian, the father of Emperor Shizong of Ming Orange.

Another name of the Obvious Tomb: The Obvious Tomb is also called the Imperial Tomb, because it is surrounded by high walls, so the local people also call it the Imperial City.

Geographical information of the Obvious Mausoleum: The Obvious Mausoleum is the only imperial mausoleum in Hubei, located in the northeast of Zhongxiang City, Hubei Province 5 kilometers on the Chunde Mountain (located in the southwest branch of the Dahong Mountain in the pine, about 5 kilometers away from the city of Zhongxiang in the west), the area of the mausoleum is hectares, occupying the entire Songlin Mountain.

The historical status of the Ming Dynasty Mausoleum: The Ming Dynasty is the largest single imperial mausoleum in China, and it is also the only Ming Dynasty emperor mausoleum in the six central and southern provinces of China, which is the artistic crystallization of the diligence and wisdom of the ancestors of the Chinese nation, and it is unparalleled in the world to create such a magnificent tomb in the era of low productivity.

Obviously, the mausoleum is the joint burial tomb of Emperor Zhu Youqi and Empress Cixiao of his mother.

It is the only Ming Dynasty imperial tomb in the six central and southern provinces of China, covering an area of large and up to hectares, and is the largest single imperial tomb in the Ming Dynasty imperial tomb; Its planning layout and architectural techniques are unique, and it has the role of connecting the previous and the next in the rule system of the imperial tombs in the Ming Dynasty, especially the mausoleum structure of "one tomb and two mounds" is unique among the imperial tombs of the past dynasties.

Obviously, the mausoleum is a part of the "Ming and Qing Dynasty royal mausoleums", and is the material evidence of the "great ceremony" of the major historical events in the early days of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. It is the product of human beings changing nature, embodies traditional Chinese architectural and decorative ideas, and explains the worldview and power concept of feudal China that lasted for more than 500 years.

It plays an important role in the study of the social thoughts, beliefs and the fate of some leaders in the early years of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty. The Xianling Tomb of the Ming Dynasty is located in the northeast of Zhongxiang City, Hubei Province, 5 kilometers northeast of the city of Chunde Mountain, was built in the 14th year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty (1519), until the 45th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1566), it took 47 years to build.
