Too precious! 100 years ago old photos of Changping, Ming Tombs, Juyongguan, Xiaotangshan in Beijing

As a native of Changping, I have been paying close attention to Changping and want to see what Changping was like 100 years ago. So I am very concerned about the old photos of Changping. Recently, I saw a group of old photos of Changping area on the Internet and I was very excited.

This group of photos was taken by the Japanese. Before Japan fully invaded China, many people were taken. They came to China and took a lot of photos. These photos became precious records. Recorded China a hundred years ago. Find out the old photos of Changping area and share them with everyone.

Disclaimer: The ownership of the photos belongs to the owner of the photos. I am just a porter and trimmed some photos.

[Changping County] Changping used to be called Yong'an City. It was built during the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty. Its function was to serve the Ming Tombs. The offices of the Ming Tombs were all located here. Later, Changping County Yamen was also moved here.

I used to travel to the north with two goals, one is Guangou Badaling, and the other is Ming Tombs.

Most of them took the train to the South Exit, then to the Ming Tombs, back to the South Exit, and then to Badaling the next day. They almost never came to Changping, so there are few old photos of Changping County.

This time I found two old photos about Changping County. One is Changping Drum Tower. This photo is the most wonderful old photo in Changping County. It is a pity that the Changping Drum Tower was later demolished. Now, if you want to see the Changping Drum Tower, you can only see it in the photos.

According to reports, the picture below is outside Changping City. It feels like it was taken from a certain doorway, from the inside out. The underground is a stone road full of traces of time. The old tree next to it has been set aside, and now this scene is long gone.

[The Ming Tombs] When it comes to Changping, some people may not know it. If it is mentioned, almost everyone in the world knows it. The so-called Ming Tombs are the tombs of thirteen emperors in the Ming Dynasty, so they are called Ming Tombs.

The Ming Tombs is currently one of the places where emperors are buried the most in the world, and the Ming Tombs are well-known in the world. Almost every photographer who comes to Beijing to shoot will almost always photograph the Ming Tombs.

The picture below shows the stone archway . The angle of this photo is particularly good, which perfectly shows the tall and magnificent stone archway. The stone archway stands on a high platform. There is a brick wall with slope protection next to it, and there is a stone monument beside it. Now there is no stone monument. Several donkeys carrying goods pass through the stone archway. This situation is no longer there. Nowadays, due to man-made reasons, the ground around the stone archway is constantly rising, and the gap between the stone archway and the surrounding road surface is no longer large. It doesn't show the feeling that the stone archway is aloft.

The picture below shows the base of the stone archway, with vivid carving details, a pair of lions rolling hydrangea, rare stone carvings, and little change now.

The following sets of photos show the stone statues of Shenlu.

The picture below is a group of elephants, taken from north to south, and the stele pavilion is in the distance.

The picture below is a lying camel,

A standing unicorn,

There are also many animals, and the animals are in two bedrooms.

The photo below is of Shiren, who are divided into Wenchen, Wuchen and Xunchen.

The picture below is Wen Chen, holding a wat board with a serious expression, standing in the grass.

The picture below shows a military minister, holding the hilt in his left hand and carrying the hammer in his right hand. Unfortunately, the hammer is no longer available and has now been repaired.

The stone statues of Shinto are basically well-preserved, but the trees are planted around them, and the birds and flowers are scented, and you can no longer see the momentum of the year.

The picture below shows the Hall of Enemy in Changling , commonly known as the Great Hall of Changling. Changling is the first tomb of the Ming Dynasty tombs and the mausoleum of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di. Among the 13 imperial tombs, it is the best preserved and the largest. The Changling Hall is the best preserved hall. It is one of the famous golden nanmu halls in China.

This photo was not well taken. Only half of the hall was taken. From the photo, it can be seen that the roof of the hall was covered with grass, and the front eaves around the roof had begun to be partially damaged. The yard is overgrown with weeds and looks desolate. Now it has been repaired.

The next set of photos is [Gimbal at Juyongguan]

There is a ravine in the north of Changping with a total length of 40 li. This ditch is called Guan ditch, and it is related to the rise of dynasties. Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, Wudaoguan City was built in this ditch, from south to north, namely Nankou, Juyongguan, Shangguan, Badaling, and Chadaocheng. The Badaling Great Wall is the best preserved, and Juyongguan is the base camp. Therefore, to visit the Badaling Great Wall, you must pass through Juyongguan, and must pass under the Yuntai.

Yuntai was built in the Yuan Dynasty. It was originally a street-crossing tower with a huge tower base below and a stupa above. The tower base was built on the avenue and the avenue passed through the tower. Later, the tower was destroyed and a temple was built on the base of the tower. Later, the temple was destroyed and the tower base was left alone, which was later called Yuntai. Anyone who passes by here will pass under the Yuntai, marveling at the Yuntai, and their memory is still fresh. The Yuntai in the photo is surrounded by private houses, and there are trees on both sides of the road. A flock of sheep passing through the Yuntai raises a layer of dust, giving it a breath of life. Now the cloud platform is still there, and the surroundings are empty in the Juyongguan Scenic Area. Those private houses have long since disappeared in the long river of history. In this situation, you can only look at old photos.

The Yuntai ticket gate is surrounded by six Buddhist holding utensils. The picture below shows the Dapeng golden-winged bird and the dragon girl in the middle. The top of the Yuntai is full of Buddha statues.

The stone walls on both sides of the Yuntai are engraved with Buddhist scriptures in six languages ​​and "Tower Building Merit Notes", which are too precious.

The four kings of Buddhism are carved on both sides of the inner wall. The picture below shows the kings of the West.

The picture below shows the King of the East

The next set of photos is the attendant kid next to the king.

The picture below shows the ghost stepping on the foot of the king.

The picture below is the Buddha statue carved on top.

[Xiaotangshan] Xiaotangshan is located in the east of Changping. Xiaotangshan is famous for its hot springs. Now Xiaotangshan is world-famous because of Xiaotangshan Hospital.

There is a hot spring in Xiaotangshan, which was favored by the royal family. Since the Ming Dynasty, Tangquan Palace was built here, and the Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty expanded it and formed the final pattern. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, it gradually declined. As a royal pavilion, it is naturally sought after by major photographers, so you don't think it's too far away, so you have to visit here.

The picture below is Datangshan next to Tangquan Palace, which is still there.

The picture below shows the steaming hot spring in the palace, which is a white marble pond. The pool is still there today, but there is no hot spring.

The picture below is a gate in the palace. I don't know if it is a gate. Now the gate is gone, and the drum stones on both sides are still preserved.

That's all.

Looking at old photos, it seems that these scenes from a hundred years ago are right in front of you. Fortunately, there are these old photos, so that future generations can travel through time and space to feel the way back then. This is the charm of old photos. Thanks again to these photographers in history, who recorded us in Changping 100 years ago.

The scenery of these old photos may not change much in a period of time. Some old people have witnessed all this. If you have a story or something to say, please leave a message below! Tell everyone what you know about Changping. Thank you!
