After the completion of the Xianling, the mausoleum system is more frugal. Built a single empty stone bridge. The road is paved with bricks, and the gravel on both sides is scattered water. It is very frugal, and there is no separate stone statue, steles pavilion (the existing steles pavilion is added to the Jiajing years) and other buildings.
