Why is Yuan Shikai's tomb called "Lin" instead of "Ling"? Many people don't know why. The following is my careful recommendation for everyone, hoping to help you.

Yuan Shikai Cemetery is located on the north bank of Huanshui in the northern suburb of Anyang, and is now the former site of Anyang Museum. It took two years to build Yuan Shikai's mausoleum. "It covers an area of 138 mu and costs 732,754 yuan 19." These figures are recorded in the list in Yuan's Tomb Raider Report. The tomb was built after Yuan's death 19 16 June, supervised by Tian Wenlie of Henan Province at that time, and completed in 19 18 June. The tombstone is engraved with the words "Tomb of the Great President Yuan Gongshi Kai", which was inscribed by Xu Shichang, a good friend of Yuan and then President of the Republic of China.

Of the more than 700,000 silver dollars used, Beiyang * * * gave 502,000 silver dollars, and the rest were donated by Yuan Shikai's old Beiyang staff. Most of them are 10 thousand yuan in cash, and the least is not less than two or three thousand yuan. Yuan's tomb worker's report records that "Yuan Gong is not rich in the world, so he can't bear to act rashly, but the treasury currency is extremely hard to find. Duan made a comprehensive discussion and created a 30-year micro-donation friendship. He spent a lot of effort to collect 250 thousand silver coins. "

Yuan Shikai's cemetery is called Lin Yuan. The designer of Lin Yuan is a German engineer, and its building is "slightly smaller than the Ming Tombs". From south to north, the main buildings are Zhaobi, Coarse Stone Bridge, Naive Stone Bridge, Pailou Gate, Wang Zhu, Stone Statue, Monument Pavilion, East-West Value Room, Courtyard Gate, Dadan Wall, East-West Attached Hall, Jingrentang and Tomb Terrace. The overall design of Lin Yuan's architecture is unique and occupies a special position in the history of China's mausoleum architecture. Its characteristic is "the combination of Chinese and western", which embodies the characteristics of semi-colonial and semi-feudal times. The front part of the hall is the style of China Ming and Qing Tombs, and the back part is the architectural style of Western Tombs.

Then, why is Yuan Shikai's tomb called "Lin" instead of "Ling"?

Yuan Shikai called himself "the emperor" against the criticism of the world, but his name was not correct. In the end, he was besieged on all sides and died before he was 60. Yuan Dingke, Yuan Shikai's eldest son, originally wanted to follow the example of emperors in previous dynasties and called his old man's historic place "Yuanling".

But Xu Shichang, who was in power at that time, explicitly opposed it. He said: "Xiangcheng failed to claim the title of emperor before his death and never lived in Dabao. The title of Hongxian has been cancelled. It is really inappropriate to use the name Yuan Ling. Lin and Ling are homophonic, and the words Ling and Ling in Shuo Wen Jie Zi can be borrowed from each other, avoiding the name of Ling and still retaining the reality of Ling. How nice! "

At that time, Xu Shichang's words naturally carried the most weight, so he abandoned the "Yuan Ling" and renamed it Lin Yuan.

Xu Shichang was worthy of being a close friend of Yuan Shikai and a scholar politician. His suggestion is enough to make Yuan Shikai smile in the grave. Since ancient times, emperors' tombs have been tombs and saints' tombs have been forests. Yuan Shikai's mausoleum is called "Lin Yuan", imitating "Kong Lin" and "Guanlin", which is a great compliment to him.
