China s only underwater imperial tomb has been discovered, lying in the water for 300 years, whose t

This is the mausoleum of Zhu Yuanzhang's grandfather, which was later submerged because it was built in a low-lying area.

It is some tombs of the ancestors of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, these tombs are for better worship of some people, and the earliest time is on the ground.

Zhu Yuanzhang's ancestor, this tomb was not originally built in the water, but because of the change in the terrain, it ended up in the water.

The Ming Ancestral Mausoleum is an imperial mausoleum that was "rescued" from the water. In 1963, the water level of Hongze Lake dropped, and the Ming Ancestral Mausoleum was discovered, only to be able to see the light of day, but unfortunately the wooden buildings have disappeared, only the city wall of Wailuo City and the stone statues that were later excavated and restored. At that time, in order to protect the Ming ancestral mausoleum, an embankment of 3,000 meters was built to separate the mausoleum from the lake, and the cultural relics and treasures that sank in the lake for more than 300 years were rediscovered and became a tourist attraction.

The location of the Ming Zu Mausoleum is in the Ming Zuling Town, Xuyi County, Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province. In 1996, it was announced as the fourth batch of national key cultural relics protection units. It is now a national AAA-level tourist attraction.

It is the actual burial place of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the great ancestor, great-grandfather, and grandfather of Zhu Yuanzhang, and the actual burial place of his grandfather.

The Ming ancestral mausoleum is extremely beautiful, but the location is a little not very good, it is not on the side of the high mountain and the big fu, but in the place of the hill that has the name of "nine gangs and eighteen depressions", in the nineteenth year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, the Ming ancestral tomb was swallowed up by the surging flood. After a long period of erosion and impact by the lake, the mound has been flattened, and the original brick and wood buildings on the ground are gone, and only some buildings remain, but thankfully, most of the 21 pairs of stone statues on both sides of the Shinto are intact.

Blessings and misfortunes lurk, and misfortunes and blessings rely on. The flooding of the Ming Tomb is not a good thing in some respects, although most of the wooden buildings have been destroyed, but the stone statues have been well preserved. It is precisely because of the flooded environment that the stone statue has escaped many natural and man-made disasters and wars in the past 300 years, and finally regained the light of day.

The biggest highlight of the whole Ming ancestral mausoleum is the stone statue, the unicorn, the stone lion, the saddle horse, and the portrait are lifelike. These stone carvings are magnificent in scale, superb in skill, vivid and vivid, and have smooth lines, which are an important carrier of Zhu Yuanzhang's Zhongshu orthodox Confucian culture in the Central Plains, and provide precious material materials for the study of the style of the early imperial mausoleum architecture of the Ming Dynasty and Hu Dynasty.

To add some interesting cold knowledge about history, Zhu Yuanzhang's great-grandfather is called Zhu Bailiu, his grandfather is called Zhu Chuyi, and his father is called Zhu Wusi. Look at the name of this family. Zhu Chong changed his name after becoming a powerful man, Zhu Yuanzhang, he vowed to "exterminate" the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang, is a sharp jade.

This is the origin of Zhu Yuanzhang's name. Zhu Yuan Zheng Jing Zhangzhang later changed his father's name, and he was called Zhu Shizhen.

This place is the tomb of Emperor Huibu on the west bank of Hongze Lake in Xuyi County, Huai'an City, Jiangsu Province, which is also known as the first mausoleum of the Ming Dynasty and is the only underwater imperial tomb in the country.

This place is the Ming Ancestor, the only underwater imperial tomb, which is particularly rare.

This place is the Ming Ancestral Mausoleum, the only underwater mausoleum in history, located in the Huaihe River valley of today's Liangliang. Zhu Yuanzhang was the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and after unifying the world, he began to build tombs. At first, he spent a lot of time on site selection and construction, but he didn't expect that the tomb would sink underwater for 300 years.
