What are the cultural connotations of China's mausoleum buildings?

China was a feudal society in ancient times, and their supreme ruler was the monarch of each dynasty. They have the supreme right to control the life and death of people all over the world and all their wealth. They not only want to express their supremacy before their death, but also want to control everything after their death, so they try their best to build a splendid mausoleum for themselves and let them continue to control time after their death. As the supreme rulers, their tombs contained the highest cultural connotation in China at that time, as well as all the construction wisdom in China at that time. China's mausoleum was the highest building standard in China at that time.

First, China's mausoleum runs through some cultures in our country. First of all, death is the most important thing in our country, and we should respect the dead. Therefore, the place where the body is parked is the middle position, which is also the most important place for copying. At the same time, the mausoleum building in China can reflect the geomantic design in China at that time. Generally, the feng shui of the mausoleum is very good, which is the best location for a country's geographical feng shui. At the same time, the mausoleum has some layout and structure, which runs through the yin and yang studies in China. Observing the layout of tombs in China, we can see a lot of Feng Shui culture and Yin and Yang culture in China.

Secondly, we can see people's thoughts in China's mausoleum building. Everything used by some national monarchs in China should show their great nature, especially their pursuit of grandeur, which conforms to the monarch's characteristics and psychology. In our country, people worship mountains and rivers very much. Therefore, the higher the status of China's mausoleum, the bigger it is built, and the more it can show the identity of its owner before his death. This also runs through the hierarchical concept of our country for thousands of years, that is, the more ordinary people there are, the smaller his grave will be, and finally he will be an earthen bag. From there we can see the thoughts of previous generations.

China is a country that respects etiquette system, especially in feudal society. Everything used in the mausoleum must follow the laws of the society at that time, strictly abide by the normality and norms, and cannot go beyond that boundary. Ordinary people can't use it, and what ordinary people use can't be buried with them and can't surpass the ruling class. The ruling class generally can't use what the monarch has used. It firmly embodies the hierarchical concept of our country. From China's mausoleum architecture, we can explore the hierarchical concept of that era, and explore its architectural facilities and architectural features. From the mausoleum, we can see the cultural changes of China for thousands of years, and we can also see the architectural breakthroughs.
