The death of one's husband

Sun Yat-sen died in Peiping
On March 12, 1925, at 9:30 am, Dr. Sun Yat-sen died of gallbladder cancer in Tielion Hutong, Beiping (today's Beijing), causing grief throughout the country. The day before he died, Sun offered to follow suit Lenin Keep the body and ask to be buried Nanjing . Deathbed pair Soong Ching-ling , Wang Jingwei Some people said, "When I die, I can be buried in Nanjing. Purple Mountain Because Nanjing was the place where the provisional government was established, we should not forget the Revolution of 1911."
In fact, as early as March 1912, Sun Yat-sen said to Hu Hanmin while hunting on the Purple Mountain: "After I die, I would like to ask the Chinese people for a cucutta to house the body."
After Sun Yat-sen's death, according to his will, his body was embalmed in Union Hospital and temporarily placed in Biyun Temple, Xiangshan, Beiping, to be buried after the mausoleum was completed Nanjing . It was the dutiful guard of the wake that kept us safe.
Sun Yat-sen had ordered the funeral ceremony and coffin to be modeled after Lenin's format for the public to pay their respects. However, when Sun Yat-sen died, the glass casket presented by the Soviet Union failed to arrive in time, and had to be temporarily placed in a Western-style glass-covered wooden coffin, parked in the stone pagoda of Biyun Temple in Xiangshan in Beiping. On March 30, 1925, when the Soviet government sent a fiberglass coffin, Mr. Sun Yat-sen's body had been in the coffin for more than half a month, due to improper technical reasons at that time, the remains could no longer be viewed by future generations, and had to be buried.

Cemetery construction

  • Phase I project

After the design of the tomb and the architect were determined, the funeral preparation Office began to prepare for bidding. The bid was opened on December 19, 1925, with only seven bidders, and Yao Xinji won the bid. [42]
Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum was the last project contracted by Yao Xizhou. Because the mausoleum project is huge, required a variety of building materials, often need contractors to advance, so there is no more than 200,000 silver capital manufacturers are difficult to contract this project. According to Yao Xizhou himself, he contracted the mausoleum project from the beginning, not for profit, but "hold a reputation concept, obligation, determination", "when the valuation of the beginning, that is, the concept of worship of great men, so repeatedly cut, the real sense of no profit, and unusual business is different." In fact, Yao Xizhou contracted the construction of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, in addition to painstaking efforts, but also a loss of 140,000 taels of silver. Later, Lin Sen said to Yao, "This time, Mr. Lin has contributed to the repair of the Premier's tomb, and he has lost money. National government I know..." [42]
According to the contract signed between the funeral Preparation Office and Yao Xinji Construction Factory, the mausoleum project officially broke ground on January 15, 1926. On March 12 of this year, the first anniversary of Sun Yat-sen's death, a grand mausoleum laying ceremony was held at 3 PM in the Purple Mountain cemetery. Despite the rain, representatives from all walks of life and party members of the people came to the ceremony in the rain, there were still about 10,000 people, including more than 3,000 people from other places. Deng Zeru, representative of the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang, presided over the ceremony, Ye Chu-roang as the officiant read the will of the Prime Minister, Deng Zeru delivered a speech, and Yang Xingfo, director of the Funeral Preparation Office, reported on the process of funeral preparation. Then, Deng Zeru, the representative of the Central Party Department, held a cornerstone unveiling ceremony, removing a Kuomintang party flag that was previously covered in the cornerstone, exposing the cornerstone, and engrave on it "The Chinese Kuomintang laid the foundation stone for the mausoleum of Premier Mr. Sun on March 12, 15 years of the Republic of China." The cornerstone written by Tan Yankai and carved by Tang Zhongfang is placed at the southwest corner of the wall. [42]
Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum old shadow
After May 1927, the progress of the first phase of the project gradually accelerated. Engineer Liu Mengxi personally stayed at the site to supervise the construction. In order to ensure the quality of the mausoleum project, the selection of materials is very particular. "All cement shall be made of the finest Ma and Taishan brand, the walls of the memorial hall shall be made of grey Italian marble, the whitewash shall be mixed with hemp, the floor of the memorial hall and the tomb shall be made of white Italian marble, and shall not have grey markings..." Tensile test of bamboo joint steel in reinforced concrete, strength test of sand, stone and concrete, all by Nanyang University President Ling Hongxun and Xu Peihuang, president of the Chinese Engineering Society, were present and presided over, and inspected with reference to the inspection standards of the American Association for Testing Materials. The construction technical requirements are extremely strict, and the projects must be made into a model in advance according to the detailed drawing once Lv Yanzhi personally reviewed and approved before starting. Some things have to be reported to Lin Sen, the member of the funeral planning committee in charge of the project, for approval. [42]
The first phase of the mausoleum project, including the mausoleum, the memorial hall, the platform, the stone steps, the wall and the stone slope works, undertaken by the Juhai Yao Xinji Construction, started on January 15, 1926, the first blast mountain filling, traced to 1927, due to the military impact, transportation and transportation are great difficulties, so the project is far from the original plan. On April 26, the funeral preparation Office moved from Shanghai to Nanjing, at this time, the National Revolutionary Army returned to Nanjing, the overall situation was decided, and the plan for the completion of the unfinished project was redecided, and the first phase of the Prime Minister's mausoleum was completed in the spring of the 18th year of the Republic of China (1929). Next was to welcome Mr Sun Yat-sen's coffin to be buried. [42]
  • Phase II and Phase III
Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum
In 1928, the second phase of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum project bid, after discussion and decision of the funeral preparation office, contracted by Shanghai Xinjin Jikang. The original plan of the archway, mausoleum gate, stele pavilion, large wall, guard room, etc. belong to the second phase of the project, due to a variety of reasons, left to the third phase of the project. On November 24, within 10 days of the signing of the contract, the Shinkin Kikang was started. At that time, the national government has set the capital of Nanjing, the transportation of materials are much more convenient than the first phase of the project, in addition to the stone pavement of the reinforced concrete wall in front of the memorial hall and the stone steps are relatively fine, the rest of the excavation, filling, ditches and so on are rough work. Therefore, the second project can be completed by the spring of 1929 according to the time stipulated in the contract. [42]
The third phase of the project was to be carried out after Dr. Sun Yat-sen's retirement. In July 1929, several major newspapers in China published bidding advertisements for the third phase of the Zhongshan Mausoleum project. After Dr. Sun Yat-sen was buried in Nanjing, the funeral preparation Office of Dr. Sun Yat-sen was abolished and replaced by the "Premier Cemetery Management Committee" to continue to preside over the mausoleum project. Lyu Yanzhi's friends, architects Li Jinpei, Huang Danfu and others, according to Lyu Yanzhi design blueprint completed his unfinished career. [42]
The third phase of the project includes: archway, mausoleum gate, stele pavilion, guard room, big wall and other buildings. After bidding, the result was contracted by Shanghai Tao Fu Ji Construction Factory, winning the bid with 419,700 taels of silver, officially started at the end of August 1929, and all the projects were completed at the end of the 20th year of the Republic of China (1931). [42]
Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum
In July 1929, Tao Fu Ji Construction Factory contracted the third phase of the construction of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. At this time, the transportation of building materials was much smoother than the first phase of the project. For example, the glazed tiles used in the mausoleum gate, stele pavilion and archway were ordered from Guangdong Yuhua Company in winter. After firing by Yuhwa Company, it was shipped from Guangzhou to Nanjing in three batches. At the request of the Prime Minister's mausoleum Management Committee, the Ministry of Finance, in addition to granting duty-free passports, also ordered the customs supervision along the way, and the glazed tiles used by mausoleins were reported to be released duty-free. [42]
However, the third part is a huge project and still encountered many difficulties. The large stone tablets in the stele pavilion, the pillars, pillars and beams of the archway are all made of a whole block of giant Fujian granite. Although Tao Fu Ji Construction Factory is a famous construction company, but at that time there is not much modern equipment, mainly rely on manual handling. The procurement of these huge granite stones used in the project, as well as the construction of the building on the southern slope of the Purple Mountain, had to pay a great deal of labor, from the archways, steles, mausoleum gates can still be seen the huge and difficult project. By the end of 1931, the third phase of the project had been completed, marking the completion of the main works of the Mausoleum except for the commemorative buildings. [42]

The sixth platform of Zhongshan Mausoleum continues to climb to the seventh floor platform, and a pair of imitation copper stone lions are arranged on this large platform. Made by Jiang Wenzi, the third generation descendant of Jiang Yuancheng, a famous carving shop in Fujian Province, the carving art is very wonderful. In the mouth of two stone lions, each has a round ball, which can rotate freely in the mouth without falling out. Later, during the Wang Puppet period, the tooth of a female lion on the west side was damaged, and the ball was lost. A lion cub has also been stolen from her feet.
  • Tripod of Filial Piety
Tripod of Filial Piety
The Tripod of Filial piety is located just south of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum. In 1929, after Dr. Sun Yat-sen's coffin was placed in the Mausoleum, Daijitau and National Sun Yat-sen University In order to express their respect and memory for Dr. Sun Yat-sen, all the students decided to donate money to cast a bronze tripod and put it in front of the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum.
The Xiaojing tripod was cast by Jinling Arsenal. Dai Jitao attached great importance to the design and casting of the tripod. On April 09, 1932, he put forward specific requirements for the relevant design and casting departments in written form: "Round copper tripod, five sides on the tripod (in case the five sides are not appropriate, six sides can also be), three levels." Ding Ting all brass blowing color (making all by the cemetery). Engraved eight characters on the outward front; Inside the front engraved wisdom, benevolence, yong three words, all set premier word. Tripod contains four bronze stele, engraved on the Tai lady book filial Sutra (such as the word is too large, can be reduced by photography). Three stone platforms below. All four balustrades are carved." Judging from the existing bronze triding stone platform, it is basically consistent with the requirements of Dai Jitao.
On May 07, 1933, a solemn bronze tripod foundation ceremony was held here. Lin Sen, Chairman of the National Government, attended the scene and Dai Jitao delivered a speech. After the speech, Dai Jitao and Xin Shicheng carefully put a copper box together in the stone box, the copper box is engraved with the "Premier's Will" written by Dai Jitao, and the "Premier's Legacy" recorded by the teachers and students of Sun Yat-sen University in Nanjing is stored in the box. After the copper box was placed into the stone box, Dai Jitao injected cement into the stone box to seal it, and then slowly lowered the stone box into the foundation about three meters deep from the ground. Later, the stone platform was built and the bronze tripod was cast. Thus, Zhongshan cemetery has added a new landscape.

The Mausoleum gate is built in the middle of the central axis of the Mausoleum, and in front of it is a wide concrete platform that can accommodate more than 10,000 people. The platform is flanked by a carpet of grass. On the left and right lawns, there are ten season-evergreen boxwood balls symmetrical to each other, and six precious thousand-head pines, which look like umbrellas and are exceptionally beautiful. Outside the mausoleum gate, there are semi-circular stone walls on both sides, which are connected with the walls of the mausoleum and guard the Zhongshan mausoleum inside. [5]
On both sides of the mausoleum gate, there are a pair of white marble lions, with smooth and soft neck hair, open mouth and face forward. This pair of stone lions are used to separate the two sides of the building, so that the building is more prominent and the tomb gate is magnificent.
The mausoleum gate was built on a large concrete platform, but it was much higher than that. Visitors climb 20 granite steps before reaching the Mausoleum gate. Its plane is rectangular, 24 meters wide, 8.8 meters deep, 16.5 meters high, traditional Chinese wooden structure form, but all built with granite, its brackets, beams, square and other patterns, are carved very delicate.
Written by Mr. Sun Yat-sen, "The world is for the public"
The roof of the Mausoleum gate is single eaves, covered with blue glazed tiles. The Mausoleum gate has three arches, the middle is larger, and the two sides are slightly smaller, because the two sides of the door are slightly smaller, I feel that the middle door has a sense of scale, showing a tall.

The Mausoleum Pavilion is built on the second platform behind the gate of the world Weigong Mausoleum. It is made of granite with heavy eaves on the top of the mountain and covered with blue glazed tiles. It is an imitation of traditional wooden structure in ancient China, 17 meters high and 12.2 meters wide. [6]
The gravestone is 9 meters high, weighs dozens of tons, and is carved from a huge piece of granite. When the tombstone was built, tombstone materials were widely solicited from various provinces in China. Fujian Province selected a huge granite stone tablet material, when in the shipment, due to the volume is too large, and extremely heavy, soon loaded into the ship, sank into the water. So he had to rush out a second piece from Fujian granite Ship it to Nanjing. From the Nanjing Xiaguan Wharf all rely on manual log rolling step by step to the purple mountain, and then from the mountain to the hillside pavilion site, which took more than 40 days, which shows that the project was difficult and grand and the perseverance of the construction workers. The large stone tablet that people see in the stele pavilion is made of the second Fujian granite in that year.
About the tombstone inscriptions in the pavilion, when the mausoleum project just started, on March 18, 1926, Mr. Sun Yat-sen's funeral preparation committee had discussed. At that time, he prepared to carve a tombstone, epitaph, biography, etc. for Mr. Sun Yat-sen in the Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, and made a division of labor Wang Jingwei Write an inscription, Hu Hanmin As an epitaph, Wu Zhihui Write a biography, Zhang Jingjiang Write an essay. However, after more than two years, the contents of these inscriptions have not been determined, until January 07, 1928, the funeral preparatory committee held a meeting in Shanghai, that Mr. Thoughts and achievements can not be summarized by words, so it was decided not to use the inscription. Therefore, it is advisable not to use. And it was decided that Tan Yankai would write the inscription.
On March 07, 1930, the Prime Minister Cemetery Management Committee clearly defined the content and writing format of the inscription, and engraved three lines of gold inscription from right to left on the front of the large stone tablet:
"Chinese Nationalist Party buries Premier Sun here, Republic of China 18th June 1"
The characters are facial, the strokes are smooth, the structure is rigorous, and the characters are strong and powerful.

The stone steps are an important part of the architecture of Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, which organically connects the archway, mausoleum gate, stele pavilion and memorial hall together, forming a solemn and majestic "alarm bell" whole. The designers and builders of the Zhongshan Mausoleum cleverly divided the 392 stone steps into 10 sections, which is a unique and distinctive layout.

Although the copper tile is strong, but the price is expensive, the funeral preparatory committee decided to change to glazed tile: under the eaves to build stone arches on the second floor, the south of the hall has three arches, engraved on the pattern, and each door has two copper doors with plum Spaces.
The central statue of Sun Yat-sen, 4.6 meters high, is the world famous sculptor Paul Lontsky in Paris, France with Italian white marble statue, the base engraved with six reliefs, is the portrayal of Sun Yat-sen engaged in revolutionary activities.
