Mingtombs Museum: Jadestones was everywhere in ancient China!
Hello, my fellows in Hive Universe!
I hope your day is going well and you're enjoying your life in full swing. Finally, the long winter has gone from my living area after a colder week on the first of this month with cloudy and rainy days. For a long time, I was not in the Hive universe because of my busy schedule and tons of work. But again I am here to take you on a tour of the Ming Tomb museum, which is a part of the tomb area namely the Changling Tomb of the Changping district in Beijing, which is one of the city's most well-known tourist sites for people interested in Chinese Dynasty history. Because of the Long Winter, I haven't gone to such a beautiful place in a long time. It has been tough to get outside and study areas like this in the bone-chilling cold for the past 4/5 months.
As I know there are many tombs area in the northern region of the city, most of them are not in the north-west region but unfortunately, I live in the north-east direction of Beijing city center. But the public transportation in Beijing is so good that you have nothing to be worried about going anywhere without any trouble. And moreover, for the tourist location, you can find some special bus services from the Beijing city center in the early morning.
The museum is not so large but you can find the traditional building structure here also, the colorful designs from the bottom to the top will definitely attract your sight. Same as the clothes of the Chinese emperor at that time. The designs are sometimes very complex with the Chinese version of dragons and everywhere from the cloth to buildings or from the words or ornaments, you can find dragons everywhere.
From the color selection to the design, great attention was paid to establishing harmony and oneness with the works. The Chinese emperors believed they were very near to God and sacred dragons were their protectors, therefore their clothes contained so many dragons in different shapes and colors. And I can see it in every corner of each cloth which is displayed in the museum. Everything is almost similar in appearance in aspects of having dragons on these clothes.
The ancient things in these Ming Tomb museums of China are outstanding examples of ancient Chinese culture and demonstrate the richness of traditional Chinese culture. The scenery around the museum area is peaceful, and these sites are ideal for spending time with nature.
It takes around 2 and a half hours from my institute to get to the place but the beautiful ancient things will make you feel it deserves to come and explore them with care. After exploring the clothes, I started exploring another important element of ancient China's jade stones which are used for everything that you can think of.
The first thing I saw was the big crown with so many colorful gems including jade stones and gold also, and the view was breathtaking due to the various colors. Then I also observed several smaller crown types of things I don't know what are these. From the daily necessities to the ornaments and from the decorating things, everywhere you can feel the existence of these beautiful jade stones.
Though the colors of jades should have green colors shades many of them are whitish which is so old and some stones were colorful with gold in decoration for many kinds of ornaments and many useful things like buttons, clips, and so on.
These beautiful things are proof of how the Chinese emperor was also very careful about the interior of the palaces with the huge area of the imperial garden in their living palaces.
I hope you like my tour in such a fantastic place with great exploration. It was amazing to have such tours to a fantastic place like this, with the discovery of ancient world, to enjoy and lose myself away from my busy life! If you have any queries, let me know in the comments, and I will try my best to answer them.
Thanks a lot for your time and attention. I will catch up with you at the next one.
Wish you a great day!

Dear my bro Hassan!
I always enjoy looking at your excellent photos!
I was intrigued by the fact that you were so interested in Chinese history!
It's more interesting because I study Chinese history.
Since ancient times, Chinese emperors have claimed to be the sons of gods.
Son of Heaven
The Chinese claimed to be descendants of dragons.
The dragon thus became a symbol of the Chinese emperor.
The Chinese Dragon
For East Asians, including China, the dragon is treated as a sacred being because it is a symbol of the emperor.
Dragon Ball
So, The sacredness of dragons is revealed in Japanese animation Dragon Ball .
Hassan!
I wonder what kind of dragon is in Islam.
Are you familiar with the past kings who ruled Bangladesh?😃
Thanks for your informative comment, I love exploring and sometimes try to learn a little deeper when I find something interesting. Like becoming the son of god, I got this kind of thought from a Chinese movie!
In Islam, the concept of GOD is totally different, we call Him by many names, but 'Allah' is most of the time we call our God, and we don't know much about Him, only that portion He tells us about Him in the Quran and Hadith from our prophet (PBUH), and it is strictly prohibited to add something new or making the concept mixing with other religious Gods' perception. Allah is unique and one from all perspectives, and He has no son or daughter. So, the concept of a Dragon has no place in Islam, there is no difference between a king or the common man or a beggar, all are the same in the eye of Islam, just a creation of Allah as a human. And, everyone is liable for his or her actions, everyone will be asked for his deeds, no nepotism regarding your colors, family status, assets, beauty, ethnicity, or anything, that we use now for classifications.
We have been ruled by the British for around 200 years, I have little knowledge regarding our Kings, but they never introduced themselves as God's son or some supernatural as around 1000 AD, we were ruled by the Muslim emperor, but before that may some Gods' related stories can be found with some Hindu Kings, which I don't know as I have never read the history of that period. Most of the time I read after 1000/1100 AD.
Yeah, Hassan! I agree with you!
I believe 'Allah' is the Islamic name for Yahweh.
I was surprised to learn that there was no king from the Indian subcontinent who ruled the entire region of Bengal.😯
The Mughal Empire
East Asians like me think that the Mughal Empire ruled the entire Indian subcontinent.
Thank you for kind ansewer!😃
Yeah, the Mughal emperors were the rulers but they appointed many Nawab in Bengal, and many kings were also with smaller territories who were governed by the emperor, so the relation here not just like the king and his people, the kings or Nawab were secondary level ruler, so our people get less tortured than other kingdoms around the world. Also, later in British ruling period, we had another mechanism known as "landlords" who used to collect the taxes from crops as the general people had no ownership on the land. We get our ownership to our land after 1948!
