On the morning of August 4th, we came to the gate of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. The first thing you see is a cauldron weighing more than 30 tons. Behind the main torch is a big arch, which is engraved with the word "fraternity" inscribed by Dr. Sun Yat-sen, so it is also called Aibo Square. Walking past Aibo Square, it is a mausoleum 800 meters long and 30 meters wide. The tomb is surrounded by tall and straight pine trees. We walked for a long time and had a great effort to finish the pyramid-shaped mound and come to the back door. Go through the gate and come to the pavilion. In the middle is a monument erected by the Kuomintang of China for the Prime Minister Dr. Sun Yat-sen. On the top of the pavilion is the Kuomintang's "Blue Sky and White Flag" in party flag. I had a rest here and saw that the 800-meter-long pyramid-shaped mound was very flat, but it became steep when I reached the gate, the peak behind Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. I finally know why the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum was built here, because the terrain here is like a chair, and the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum was built on it, which shows that Dr. Sun Yat-sen hopes that the Kuomintang will sit firmly in the country. Behind the pavilion are steep steps. My mother asked me to count the steps, so I counted them as I went up. Because I went up too fast and counted a lot of steps, I later learned that there were 392 steps. Climbing 392 steps, we came to the mourning hall again. The three doors of the mourning hall are engraved with "people's livelihood", "civil rights" and "democracy" respectively. My mother told me that this is the "Three People's Principles" advocated by Sun Yat-sen. There are 12 marble pillars in the mourning hall, with a sitting statue of the Italian sculptor Dr. Sun Yat-sen in the middle, carved with white marble. At this time, Dr. Sun Yat-sen was holding the Outline of the Founding of the Republic of China in his hand, staring at the front as if thinking about something. This statue is lifelike, even the patterns on the clothes are clear and changeable, just like Dr. Sun Yat-sen on TV. On both sides of the mourning hall are the Outline for the Founding of the Republic of China written by the Prime Minister Dr. Sun Yat-sen and the government on April 24th, 19 13. Looking up, there is a "blue sky and white flag" on the top of the mourning hall. Then we went into the spherical tomb behind the mourning hall. There is a blue glazed tile on the top of the tomb, and the "blue sky and white flag" is also reflected on the glazed tile. In the center of the tomb is a copper coffin, which contains the body of Dr. Sun Yat-sen. There is a marble reclining statue of Dr. Sun Yat-sen on the bronze coffin, which is as exquisite as the sitting statue in the mourning hall. I bypassed the mourning hall and the mausoleum and went to the back garden, where there was an exhibition about Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. From the exhibition, I learned that Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum was designed by Lv Zhiyan, a designer who graduated from the Department of Architecture in Tsinghua University. It took him three years to design the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, and it took him a lifetime to complete it. He also has some implications for the design of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum: the whole Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum looks like a wake-up call to warn future generations. According to the data, the location of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum was roughly delineated by Dr. Sun Yat-sen during a hunting. After the death of Dr. Sun Yat-sen, Soong Ching Ling, Sun Ke and some members of the Kuomintang came to Purple Mountain and chose a specific place.
After seeing the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, I went to the Ming Mausoleum. The Ming Tombs are the tombs of Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Although it is the Mausoleum, compared with Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, it is not grand or even shabby. I have to admit now that Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum is so magnificent that it is indeed a world cultural heritage.
