Beside Zhu Di's mausoleum, Qianlong wrote a famous saying that revealed the truth of the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Emperor Qianlong wrote a feeling next to Zhu Di's tomb, which meant telling the truth about the demise of the Ming Dynasty. He said that from the beginning, Emperor Wanli did not go to court for more than ten years, and he was addicted to women all day. In the period of Emperor Xizong of Ming Dynasty, eunuchs were allowed to monopolize power, and finally, when the country was in the hands of Emperor Chongzhen, it was already a mess, so it was easily replaced by the Qing Dynasty.

during the Qing dynasty, the emperors of the Qing dynasty always had the habit of worshipping the tombs of the Ming emperors in order to make the Manchu and Han people live in harmony. When Kangxi was in power, the foundation of the country was not very solid, and there were many contradictions between Manchu and Han, so in order to make Manchu and Han live in harmony, he often visited the mausoleum of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming emperor, and this method was also very effective.

Later, after Qianlong ascended the throne, he followed the example of his grandfather Kangxi and went to worship the Ming Tombs, which was the tomb of Zhu Di, the ancestor of Ming Dynasty. Although the contradiction between Manchu and Han was not so serious during the reign of Qianlong at that time, Emperor Qianlong often went to worship the Ming Tombs, among which Zhu Di's Ming Tombs were the most frequently worshipped.

At that time, 13 emperors of the former dynasty were buried there, and Qianlong was very emotional, because they were all kings of a country like Qianlong, but they were buried in the ground in the end. Because of emotion, he wrote a paragraph of feelings next to Zhu Di's tomb. In these words, he expressed that the demise of the Ming Dynasty was not due to bandits, but because of the absurdity of Emperor Wanli and the indulgence of eunuch dictatorship by Emperor Mingxi, which led to the former Jiangshan. It is also said that Emperor Wanli did not go to court for decades, and he was addicted to women all day, while Emperor Mingxi did not ask about court affairs, but only knew how to eat, drink and be merry all day, so in the Chongzhen period, the country could not operate normally, and was finally replaced by the Qing Dynasty.
