The first insight Yangshan timber monument used when the primary school exercise book has its own color cover photos, printing rough, feeling quite desolate a place. Lived in Nanjing for nearly two decades, and also had never been to, I heard that there has recently engaged in a "Ming popular culture village", and finally decided to take a trip. You sit in front of the Nanjing international exhibition center 5 car, half an hour drive one hour round trip in the car Mai Menpiao exempt from fares (from 4 yuan). Tickets are 30 yuan usually hear these days engage in activities, fell to 20 yuan - a marketing idea to a very rare occasion.
Yangshan timber monument known as Xiaoling monument material, remains on the eastern outskirts of Nanjing, Tangshan Town, the southern slope of the north side of the Yangshan, about 23 km away from the Nanjing area. The department before the Ming Dynasty is the ancient quarries, Yangshan timber monument is the use of the premises in the integrity of the mountain well and is very large Qixia limestone dug out from the Beizuo, part of a tablet, Beishen three parts. Its Beizuo high 17 meters wide and 29.5 meters, 12 meters thick and weighing 16.25 thousand tons; part of a tablet is 10 meters wide and 22 meters thick, 10.3 m, weight of 6118 tons; monument stands 51 meters wide and 14.2 meters, 4.5 meters thick, weighing 8799 t. According to the above-mentioned three parts of the monument-style pile up, with a total height of 78 meters, total weight of 31,167 tons, is indeed rare for the world, gigantic, amazing. No wonder the famous poet Yuan Mei in the Qing Dynasty in the "Song of the Hongwu big stone" and exclaimed: "Monument, such as long sword shaking lean, can not afford to pull hundreds of thousands of camels."
Well, this monument is who will manufacture, and for whom the establishment of it? So this is the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty Ming Tai Zu chiseled ready to stand in the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum. 1450, Yongle Emperor Zhu Di Zhu Yuan for his father's repair Xiaoling, Li merit monument and ordered the monument Yangshan excavated material, namely, "San Gong holiness Monument", known as the "best in the world monument." For various reasons, Cibei could not be completed, the loneliness of lying still barren six centuries. The abandoned stone why not? There are two claims: a note potential gradually decline toward the country, Zhu Di moved the capital to Beijing again, so do not; a say because of discomfort in ancient bowls and ice transport methods, they can not transport instead.
Zhu Yuan emperor, he lost his eldest son Zhu Li marked as Prince, closing more than 20 other son, is king. However, premature death, Zhu S, Zhu Yunwen Following the Sun by the emperor after the death of emperor, namely, Ming Hui Di. Zhu Yunwen to suppress the forces of kings fan cut decision, but the powerful forces of the emperor's fourth son, Yan Wang Zhu Di, places the name of the emperor, sent troops to attack the regime in Nanjing. After four years of brutal war, numerous casualties, and finally defeated the Hui Di and self-reliance as the Yongle Emperor. Zhu Di of the right order to the people that the emperor's loyal, he dug Yangshan their tombstones. Monument material is too large, the original designers would certainly think about transport and set of problems, but those who can not defy the design and construction of Zhu Di, the cruel emperor's wishes, only to finally had to be terminated.
Zhu Di to dig Yangshan monument material, has mobilized a large number of artisans across the country to provide each of masonry to pay a three day hopper 3 liters chippings son, who by the acceptance of supervision, craftsmen were so exhausted, which killed or killed a minority, the body will throw in the Yangshan near the "mass graves" where. Accumulated, "mass graves" to form a large tomb package, so that people of "mass graves" near the place called "the grave mound." This is the material near the monument "grave mound village," the origins of the name.
People know about the history of Zhu Di's name and "punish the ten tribes" "Guaman copy" link. Though this is more of Ming Dynasty Zhu Di as emperor, but his cool in history, famous political. Zhu Di became the emperor in his after, they began to advocate cutting-fan Huang Zi Cheng group of people to commit massacres. In this massacre, on the use of the "Guaman copy" and "punish the ten tribes," like the brutal policy. The so-called "Guaman copy" and "strain of 10 races", that is to follow it beyond the implicate a whole clan. Such as: Zhu Di of this massacre, some killed 14000 people. Also proposed, that the offender's wife and daughter, in addition to the beheading, the most-fat ration servants or slaves, or send an allocation brothel prostitution, in every possible way an insult. Babies born to Shi Shi in a brothel when the GUI NU! Creative, if this policy transplanted to today's society, what about a situation? There are so many corrupt officials will do? You need to use in times of trouble Shigenori - everlasting truth.
Of course, the emperor is not any good bird, just a miscarriage of justice, and Lan Yu Hu Weiyong miscarriage of justice on the executions, genocide nearly 40000 people. Hey! Since ancient times, the founding emperor more than that, "Stone has left a mark on the record merits have been decades ago, the monument in the no word on the right and wrong to stay with the descendants."
