Hue Minh Ming Imperial Tomb

introduce

Minh Ming Imperial Mausoleum is a rather magnificent royal mausoleum, one of the seven mausoleums built during the Nguyen Dynasty. There are particularly symmetrical buildings in the open area. Rather than saying this is a mausoleum, it would be more appropriate to say it is a large park. The entire mausoleum occupies a vast area, but there are not many buildings. Walking through it, surrounded by lush vegetation, is like walking in a park. The majesty and solemnity of the building, coupled with the natural beauty of flowers and trees, fully reflect the emperor's stern character, profound knowledge and romantic feelings.

Minh Ming Emperor (Vietnamese: Vua Minh Mạng / Ming Ming Emperor, May 25, 1791 - January 20, 1841), that is, Nguyễn Thánh Tổ / Nguyen Saint Ancestor). He was the most accomplished king of the Nguyen Dynasty. This is considered the last period of strong feudalism in Vietnamese history.

Minh Mạng Tomb (Vietnamese: Lăng Minh Mạng) started construction in 1840 and is located 15 kilometers south of Hue City, on the edge of the Xiang River. Emperor Ming Ming changed Jinji Mountain to Xiaoshan Mountain, thus calling the mausoleum Xiaoling (Vietnamese: Hiếu lăng). The mausoleum is a group of ancient buildings arranged on a 700-meter-long Shinto axis, including palaces, pavilions, pavilions, etc., starting from Dahongmen and ending at Luochengjiao behind the emperor's mausoleum. Set off among the buildings are lotuses Pond and pine hill. Xiandemen is the beginning of the dormitory area. Chong'en Hall is located in the middle, surrounded by left and right side halls and left and right pine rooms. Passing by Hongzemen, you will arrive at Minglou.

The architecture of Mingming Mausoleum is majestic and solemn, and the lake is also quite open. If the Side Mausoleum is more like an exquisite garden from the south of the Yangtze River, then the Mingming Mausoleum truly has the solemn atmosphere of a royal garden. If Qiding Mausoleum is famous for its exquisiteness, then Mingming Mausoleum can be said to be the most crude mausoleum. But rather than saying this is a mausoleum, it would be more appropriate to say it is a large park.
