Why is it more difficult to find the tomb of the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty than to ascend to heaven?

In the traditional culture of China, people believe that people will live forever in another world after death, so in ancient times, people generally pay attention to thick burial. In order to continue to enjoy the splendor of the world after death, princes will bury a lot of treasures and even bury their favorite people. Because of this, China's "touching a captain" has never been cut off since ancient times. However, in a dynasty that was once extremely powerful, no imperial tomb was preserved. That was the Yuan Dynasty.

Mongolia has a very special funeral custom, which may be related to the lifestyle of nomadic people. They live by weeds, which can be described as "no fixed place to live", so they try their best to keep everything simple in life and pay attention to thin burial in funeral etiquette. Even the Great Khan of Mongolia and even the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty continued the traditional customs of the Mongols.

There is a saying in the Ming Dynasty that after the death of the Yuan emperors, their bodies will be put in a hollow trunk of the same size by the royal family, and the outside of the trunk will be painted with paint. After the disaster, the "coffin" will be tied with gold rings at both ends and in the middle. Their coffins are that simple.

Their burial methods are also very special. They will choose an area rich in water and grass, dig a deep pit in advance, and after the coffin is buried, they will be "flattened by ten thousand horses", without graves or tombstones. After the ceremony, the Mongolian royal family will leave some soldiers to guard, and these guards will not leave until the spring grass in this area is flourishing again next year and the emperor's burial place disappears in the vast grassland. Perhaps it's because I'm worried that there's a captain hiding inside, and it's forbidden for Han people to attend the funeral of Mongolian royal family.

It is said that Mongols have a way to find the graves of their ancestors. A note written by the Southern Song Dynasty recorded that when the Mongols were buried, they would kill the children in front of the mother camel. Camels have a strong memory. When it passes this place again, it will keep moaning. The Mongols found the burial place of their ancestors.
