Extended information:

1. The origin of the name of the Ming Tombs

The founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, established his capital in Nanjing and was buried in Zhongshan, Nanjing after his death. Zhiyang is called "Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum". The second emperor Zhu Yunwen (Emperor Jianwen) sent troops to Nanjing because of his uncle Zhu Di in the name of "Jingnan" (relieving the emperor from danger). Emperor Jianwen did not know where he ended up. Some people say that he became a monk, but his whereabouts are unknown (this is an unsolved case in the history of the Ming Dynasty), so there is no mausoleum.

The seventh emperor Zhu Qiyu ascended the throne at the behest of the Queen Mother and ministers because his brother Yingzong Emperor Zhu Qizhen was captured by Wala and there was no owner in the palace. After the Yingzong was released, under the planning of his close associates, he carried out a "revolution to seize the gate", restored the Yingzong, and became emperor again.

Zhu Qiyu was killed. Yingzong did not recognize him as the emperor and destroyed the mausoleum he built in the Tianshou Mountain area. As a "king", he was buried in Yuquan Mountain in the western suburbs of Beijing. In this way, two of the sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty were buried elsewhere, one was missing, and the remaining thirteen were buried in Tianshou Mountain, so they were called the "Thirteen Tombs of the Ming Dynasty."
