In the north of Xinxiang 13km, there is a Taihang Mountain called Phoenix Mountain. At the foot of the mountain are two tall, regular and well-guarded ancient cemetery walls. This is the best-preserved and largest Ming Dynasty mausoleum in China-Lu Jianling Mausoleum, which is magnificent. 1996 was approved as a national key cultural relics protection unit.
The owner of the tomb, yi zhu Kong (1568- 16 14), was conferred the title of King Lu at the age of 4, and 14 belonged to Weihui House. After his death, posthumous title was called "Jane", so he was called King Lu Jian. He was the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang IX, the ninth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Ming Shenzong was the only mother and brother of Zhu Yijun, the emperor of Wanli. Because of its special status, it was called "the head of the philosophers" by the courtiers at that time, and it was even more "building one system more" after death. His mausoleum is completely modeled after the Dingling Mausoleum built by Emperor Wanli in Beijing, which is costly and magnificent, but it is royal at all times. Known as the "Central Plains Dingling" and the entire cemetery.
The whole land tomb consists of three parts, namely Shinto, Land Tomb and Second Princess Zhao Tomb. There are still well-preserved stone workshops, huabiao, steles, tombs and ancient blue tiles in the cemetery, and their stone carvings are unique in shape and exquisite in skill.
The whole cemetery is magnificent and solemn, showing the royal style. The courtyard is shaded by trees, winding paths lead to secluded places, birds and flowers are fragrant, peony blossoms in spring, national colors are fragrant, pomegranate blooms from summer to sun, and people are greeted with smiles. Luwangling attracts tourists from all directions with its unique and charming scenery, magnificent ancient buildings, exquisite stone carving art and confusing myths and legends. The ancients once said: "The ancient temple is surrounded by empty mountains and is a famous monarch."
When King Lu was alive, he spared no expense in human and financial resources. It took more than four years to build Lu Wang Fu in Weihui. Also at the foot of the Phoenix Mountain, he chose a treasure trove of geomantic omen and built a magnificent tomb of King Lu. Wang Lu's tomb is about 0/5 km away from Xinxiang City, which is the political, economic and cultural center of northern and southern Henan. Looking from Xinxiang to the north, the Phoenix Mountain on Taihang Mountain is lush and magnificent, and Wang Lu's tomb is surrounded by mountains and water, with a huge scale.
The natural environment of the cemetery is certainly attractive, and the magnificent buildings in the cemetery area are even more amazing. When entering the tomb area, the first thing you see is the bluestone archway of "Lu Fan Jia Cheng", and the exquisite relief can also vaguely see the prestige of the royal family. Moving on, in the long Shinto, 14 pairs of man and beast are arranged on both sides. Their expressions are different, their shapes are vivid, and their tall bodies make the honor guard of Shinto magnificent and uniform. There is a 6-meter-high wall around the tomb area, and the city is divided into four natural courtyards by three internal walls. Deep in the tomb area, there is a mound-like tomb. There are five huge tombstones and stone carvings in front of the tomb of King Lu Jian. The owner of the tomb, also known as "Treasure City", has steps to climb to the top of the mountain. Under the Treasure City is the Underground Palace, where Zhu Yijun, the king of Lu Jian, stopped his coffin. On the west side of King Lu Jian's tomb, there is a cemetery with the same structure as King Lu Jian's tomb, which is the cemetery of the second princess Zhao of King Lu Jian.
