Introduction

During the early Qing Dynasty, the Eastern Imperial Mausoleum in Beijing had significant historical importance as the ancestral tomb for the imperial family. In the ninth year of the Tianming reign (1624), Nurhaci, the founding emperor of the Later Jin dynasty, moved the tombs of his ancestors to Yanglu Mountain, located 4 miles northeast of Beijing. This became known as the "Eastern Imperial Mausoleum". In the eleventh year of the Shunzhi reign (1654), the tombs of Nurhaci's grandparents were relocated to the original site, Qingyong Tomb in Hetur Ala Castle. Currently, there are four tombs in the Eastern Imperial Mausoleum, including those of Nurhaci's brother Shuerhaqi, eldest son Chu Ying, maternal uncle Muerhaqi, and his son Dachai. The mausoleum features architectural structures such as stone walls, mountain gates, and a pavilion. The stone pavilion, located in front of Shuerhaqi's tomb, is well-preserved and built in the architectural style of a single-eave gable-front pavilion. It has painted coffered ceilings and houses the marble "Prince Tuluhun Monument of Zhuang Da'erhan" inscribed in both Han and Manchu scripts with clear and delicate carvings.
