The Ming Tombs, built in 1409- 1645, is the largest existing imperial mausoleum complex in China and even the world. Covering an area of 40 square kilometers, the Mausoleum is the largest existing imperial mausoleum complex in China and even the world.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, made Nanjing his capital and was buried in Zhongshan, Nanjing after his death, known as the "Ming Mausoleum" in history. The second emperor Zhu Yunwen (his uncle Judy) sent troops to Nanjing in the name of "Jingnan" (to relieve the danger for the emperor), and his whereabouts are unknown. Some people say it is a monk, but his whereabouts are unknown (this is an unsolved case in the history of the Ming Dynasty), so there is no mausoleum. The seventh emperor, Zhu Qiyu, was captured by his younger brother, Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, who had no master in the palace. According to the wishes of the queen mother and ministers, he was awarded the throne. Later, Yingzong was put back, and under the planning of his cronies, he carried out a "change to seize the door." The restoration of the British Sect once again proclaimed himself emperor. After Zhu Qiyu was killed, Yingzong refused to recognize him as the emperor and destroyed the mausoleum built in Tianshou Mountain area. He was buried as a "king" in Yuquan Mountain in the western suburbs of Beijing. In this way, two of the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty were buried elsewhere, one was unaccounted for, and the other thirteen were buried in Tianshou Mountain, so they were called the "Ming Tombs".
