The only imperial mausoleum in Nanjing with an open underground palace, where many 'monsters' have been unearthed!

If Nanjing is said to be a historical capital city steeped in history, then the city walls scattered throughout Nanjing are symbols of these historical sediments. And the large and small imperial mausoleums scattered and distributed in Nanjing are the historical relics of this city after the storms. Today, let's take a walk into the second mausoleum of the Southern Tang Dynasty, located in the Zutang community of Guli Street, Jiangning District, Nanjing City, Jiangsu Province, and see what unknown secrets are here. Although there are many similar imperial mausoleums in Nanjing, the second mausoleum of the Southern Tang Dynasty is the only one with an open underground palace. The imperial mausoleum is not only shrouded in mist as if there are ghosts, but also many 'monsters' have been unearthed! The Southern Tang Dynasty only had three generations of kings, and the father and grandfather of Li Yu, the last ruler of the Li family, chose to rest here. This family, who loved to read poetry and write lyrics, did not leave much brilliant achievements in Chinese history, but their excellent verses like wind, flower, snow and moon have amazed later generations. The first ruler Li Sheng and the second ruler Li Jing and their queens are all sleeping in this small mausoleum. The Qin Mausoleum is for Li Sheng, and the Shun Mausoleum is for Li Jing. The scale definitely cannot be compared with the Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum and the Qing Thirteen Mausoleums, but the underground palace is well preserved.
