There is a "Buddhist Park" next to Dashixi, Yangzhong Town, Ningde City, Fujian Province. According to local people, Zhou Bin, a Buddhist, was related to the mysterious whereabouts of Wen Jian Zhu Yunwen, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
When Judy's "Jingnan" army entered Nanking, Emperor Wen Jian disappeared into the air. Therefore, tracking the whereabouts of Wen Jian became the first mystery of the Ming Dynasty.
So, where did Emperor Wen Jian go? For 600 years, people have been searching for the secret of the final whereabouts of Emperor Wen Jian.
However, there are many legends about Buddhist Zhou Bin and Emperor Wen Jian among the local people in Ningde. On June 20 12, the tomb of General Yu (2 1 one of his followers) was found in Zhongyang Village, Yangzhong Town, Ningde, Fujian.
In addition, in 2008, Shangjinpi, Shexiang, Ningde, discovered a tomb suspected to be Jianwen Emperor while building a road.
According to historical records, Zhou Bin was a civil servant in Ningde in the early Ming Dynasty, and he was closely related to the royal family. In the middle of Hongwu, he became an adviser to the emperor, later became an instructor in Zhongdu imperial academy, and finally served as the long history of Qi State, taking charge of its official duties. Anyone familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty knows that Zhu Yuanzhang often invited Zhu Biao and other princes to study and exercise in Fengyang in the early Ming Dynasty, so Zhou Bin, who is "heavy", and Prince Zhu Biao, who is weak and dignified, must be familiar with it. Wen Jian grew up in the palace of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhou Bin was a court adviser. As you can imagine, they must be familiar with it. Both of them are gentlemen, and their relationship can't be wrong. As for teachers or students, there is no sufficient basis to jump to conclusions. However, when Wen Jian lost his country, Zhou Bin kept mourning in his hometown Ningde, and finally he died of illness in his hometown. (Source: Ningde Net)
20 1 1 a palace painting painted with gold lacquer 600 years ago was found in Zhou ancestral hall in Wanshiyang village, Luoyuan, Fuzhou (formerly under the jurisdiction of Ningde). After 600 years, the color is still bright, and the coated gold powder is not ordinary imitation gold but real gold.
These five ancient paintings were preserved by the descendants of Zhou Bin, the teacher of Jianwen Emperor, and were confirmed as palace paintings by cultural relics experts of China Institute of Cultural Relics. The characters in the portrait include Zhu Yuanzhang, Ma Huanghou, Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen and Buddhist Zhou Bin.
According to Zhou's descendants, these five paintings were originally hidden in a wooden box in the attic of Zhou's ancestral hall. There is an ancestral motto circulating in Zhou's ancestors: Don't open the wooden box, or the whole family will be wiped out. The descendants of Zhou strictly abide by the teachings of their ancestors. Until 2003, Zhou Yucheng, a relative of the Zhou family, opened the wooden box and found five ancient paintings, which were wrapped in layers of oil paper and kept very intact. However, except their ancestor Zhou Bin, the other four people failed to recognize him.
In addition, according to the introduction of the Zhou clan, they also have an ancestral motto: future generations must not be famous. "Judging from the situation at that time, only his portrait of Zhu Yunwen in the ancient paintings in the affairs box is contraband, and everything else can be made public. The most regrettable thing is that there are words in the paintings, but in the past eight years, two of them have disintegrated into pieces because of the exposure of ancient paintings to the air. Although the colors are bright and the gold powder in the lacquer gold is clearly visible, the words are not clear, and the other three ancient paintings are relatively well preserved. Although they were destroyed, the outline of the portrait was clear. (Source: Southeast Express)

The first mystery in Ming history
After the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Crown Prince Zhu Biao died in the 25th year of Hongwu (AD 1392), and Zhu Yunwen, the great-grandson of the emperor, succeeded to the throne, that is, Wen Jian. However, shortly after Wen Jian ascended the throne, Judy, the prince of Yan, launched the "Battle of Jingnan". Just when Judy invaded Nanjing, the Forbidden City in Nanjing caught fire, and his whereabouts were unknown. Historians call it "the first mystery of Ming history".
Wen Jian's Death's "Ningde Theory in Fujian"
For more than 600 years, experts in Ming history have been searching for the whereabouts of Emperor Wen Jian, and dozens of theories have been formed, such as Yunnan theory, Guizhou theory, Qinghai theory and overseas theory. Among these theories, the theory of Ningde in Fujian is the last one, but the more historical materials and physical evidence are excavated, the more.
Yunjin cassock in Ming dynasty
The Huayan Temple in Ningde (Zhiti Temple) treasures a Yunnan brocade cassock in the Ming Dynasty. After identification, this cassock was made before Yongle in Ming Dynasty, and it was made by splicing 50 pieces of cloth. The process is very complicated. Eighteen totem-shaped five-claw golden dragons designed around the cassock are all Guanlong, which are typical dragons in the early Ming Dynasty. It was probably made by Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty, and the palace lantern ornament with the word "Fushou" embedded in the lower part of the cassock was Zhu Yuanzhang's exclusive symbol.
Experts believe that when Zhu Yunwen died, he took the cassock out of the palace and appeared in Huayan Temple in Ningde, which also proved that Zhu Yunwen lived nearby and proved the mystery of his tomb in Shangjinbei Village.
Zhengqi Village, Jiaocheng District, Ningde
According to expert research, the Zheng family in Zhengqi Village, Jiaocheng District was confirmed as the descendant of Zheng, one of the important dead ministers of Jianwen Emperor. It is said that 22 ministers died in Wen Jian, one of whom was Zheng Qia, who firmly followed Wen Jian and finally died in another country. In 20 10, Zheng Yimen officially confirmed that Zheng Qicun was the descendant of Zheng Qicun, the eighth ancestor of Yimen, and agreed that Zheng Qicun should return to the ancestral home, which provided a powerful clue for the textual research of "Emperor Jianwen died in Ningde".
Guo Mu Pavilion
A memorial pavilion named "Mother Pavilion" was found in Chenban Village, Hou Shi Township, Yangzhong Town, Jiaocheng District, Ningde. Experts believe that it was built in memory of Wen Jian's mother, Lv Hou. Lv Hou may have lived in eastern Fujian since she was exiled. This provides another important evidence for the family of Jianwen Emperor in Shangjinbei Tomb.
Long live the gods.
In recent years, archaeologists have discovered six statues around Ningde, all of which read "Long live the emperor". None of the six cards has a date, signature or the emperor's name. Experts said that "Emperor Wen Jian" was a fallen emperor, and his identity and experience were quite special. The related objects were not engraved with the date, inscription, emperor number and other contents. So is the tombstone of this stupa, which is called "the tomb of Wen Jian" by local people in northern Ningde. Combined with previous investigations, experts believe that this stone tablet belongs to the Ming Dynasty and is related to Emperor Wen Jian.
Numerous folklore
After more than two years' visit and investigation, the research group of Jianwen Emperor found that the villages and temples around Jinbei Jinbei Temple above Jiaocheng District of Ningde City seemed to have some connection with Jianwen Emperor.

To the west of Jinbei Village-Ruiji Temple, it is said that thousands of monks and soldiers were stationed to defend Jianwen Emperor, fighting bloody battles with Judy officers and soldiers who came to encirclement and suppression, and all of them were buried in nearby ravines.
