Zhu Yuanzhang immigrated to Fengyang

With the lessons of Fengyang, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered that the principle of building Nanjing is not gorgeous, but solid.

In fact, it has already been done. After more than 600 years of wind and rain, Nanjing City Wall still stands tenaciously even under the Japanese artillery fire. The concepts of Zhongdu Fengyang and Du Nan Nanjing are completely different: Zhongdu Fengyang aims at luxury and magnificence, while Nanjing aims at firmness and simplicity. Most of the materials originally intended for the construction of Zhongdu were transported to Ming Taizu Mausoleum for further use.

Zhu Yuanzhang is a great dutiful son, and he respects seniority very much.

The re-standardization of the etiquette system in the Ming Dynasty was quite strict, because Zhu Yuanzhang took the lead. After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he thought that if his ancestors had virtue, he could win the country, and the location of Ming Taizu Mausoleum was not good, so it was easy to be flooded. He had the idea of moving the grave, but he gave it up because of the opposition of ministers.

In contrast, those beasts that did not appear in the tombs of ancestors and emperors, such as elephants and camels, are obviously different in momentum. Among them, the elephant is carved from a whole boulder, with smooth lines and great verve. It is 3.72m high, 4.25m long,1.95m wide and weighs 80 tons. Camels are also 3.55 meters high, 3.85 meters long and 1.63 meters wide. Their height is unique among the stone beasts in China's tombs.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, the watchtower was generally regarded as the starting point of Shinto.

Shinto is straight and short, and the gods on both sides are closely arranged. However, ming tomb's Shinto set a long and tortuous precedent. It twists and turns around Meihua Mountain, where Sun Quan's tomb was located during the Three Kingdoms period, forming an arc like the Big Dipper.
