Ding Mausoleum, Imperial mausoleum in Changping District, China
The Dingling underground palace contains five marble chambers spread across 1,195 square meters with jade entrances and gilded brick floors at 27 meters depth.
Construction of this burial site for Emperor Wanli and his two empresses took place between 1584 and 1590 during the Ming Dynasty period.
The tomb layout follows Chinese architectural principles with a square front representing earth and circular rear symbolizing heaven in its design.
The site functions as a museum displaying over 3,000 recovered artifacts including imperial crowns, ceramics, and burial objects from the Ming Dynasty period.
The 1956 excavation of Dingling marks the only scientific exploration of a Ming Dynasty imperial tomb, leading to modifications in Chinese archaeological practices.
