As the saying goes, the fallen leaves return to the roots, indicating that people still have to return to their hometown and bury them in their hometown when they die, which is also a tradition of Chinese. However, because of the strength of ancient China, the prosperity of the economy, and the strength of the country, many vassal states were extremely envious and yearning for China. So that there were 3 foreign emperors who came to pay tribute, but they did not want to leave, and they were buried directly in China, and now their tombs are still there.
This is actually quite strange, as the head of a country, he even does not want his own country, not to bury it in China. But this really happened during the Ming Dynasty, these countries are all vassal states of Daming, and they are all coming to China for the first time, but they don't want to leave after coming.
The first was the king of the mud kingdom, Manajagana.
This king led his princes and concubines to China in 1405 to pay tribute to Emperor Zhu Di. At that time, Zhu Di was very happy and rewarded a very rich gold and silver treasure. After the king arrived in Nanjing, he felt the prosperity of China, so he proposed to have a good time in China. So Zhu Di arranged for someone to accompany the king around, but because the king was not satisfied with the water and soil, he suddenly fell ill, and even the tai doctor could not cure it, and finally died in Nanjing.
But the strange thing is that the king's only wish before he died was to be buried in China and did not want to go home. Its princesses and princes also had no choice but to do so. Zhu Di personally ordered the ceremony of burying the prince, buried the king of Boni in Shizigang, south of Nanjing, and erected a monument for the mausoleum, and the king was honored, and the mausoleum is still there.
The second, the Eastern King of Sulu, Batu Geha Thorn.
This is even more bizarre, at that time, the three kings of the Sulu kingdom, the East King, the West King, and the King of Gong, with the harem, almost the whole family, brought a huge team of 340 people to Daming in 1417. When I went to Beijing to meet Zhu Di, these dirt buns were shocked to set foot on Chinese soil for the first time. So he had to visit and play in China, so Zhu Di sent people to serve him, and these 340 people played in China for several months.
Among them, the Eastern King, Badu Ge Ha Thorn, went to Dezhou, Shandong, but suddenly fell ill and died. Before he died, he was also reluctant to leave and wanted to be buried in China, so Zhu Di ordered him to be buried in the north of Dezhou City. Moreover, more than a dozen of his concubines and princes still had to stay and guard the tomb for 3 years, and finally they were unwilling to go back after the tomb. The tomb is still there, and was announced by the State Council as a national key cultural relics protection unit on January 13, 1988.
The third, the king of the ancient Ma Lalang kingdom, Shu Lai Yi Yi Yi Dun Ben.
This king, who was also a servant of the wind and dust, brought his wife and children to Daming, and came to Daming in a mighty way, feeling the wealth and beauty of Daming. So I also lived in this white food and play for a few months, and I really enjoyed playing. In April 1421, after playing almost enough, I remembered that I wanted to return to China. However, when he went to Fujian and died of illness, his last words were buried in China, and Zhu Di sent Yang Shan, the head of the ceremonial department, to deal with the matter, bury him in the Fujian Tea Garden Mountain, and give him the title of "Kang Jing" (康靖).
