The origin of Babaoshan cemetery
Babaoshan is named for producing eight kinds of precious mineral resources, but other than that, Babaoshan is nothing special in topography, just an ordinary small mound. However, the tradition of burying people in Babaoshan is very early, and the history of Xibabaoshan as a cemetery can even be traced back to before the Ming Dynasty.
What really distinguishes Babaoshan from other cemeteries is the changes that have taken place since the founding of Daming. After Zhu Yuanzhang pacified the world, Babaoshan was designated as the back garden of imperial eunuchs' retirement. Many big eunuchs who had been in power in ouchi used to support the elderly here. Since then, Babaoshan's jurisdiction over the burial of the dead has been very strict, and it is impossible for ordinary people to enter.
After Judy, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, registered, a shrine was built to protect the steel tomb of Li Si eunuchs. Even after the demise of the Ming Dynasty, Babaoshan did not suffer from war. After the Qing court came to power, it continued to serve as the eunuch's resting place. Babaoshan buried eunuchs after the two dynasties, so the locals also called it eunuch temple.
After the demise of feudal rule, the National Government changed the original memorial shrine to a martyrs' shrine on 1946 to pay homage to the martyrs who died heroically. After the liberation of the whole country, the use of Babaoshan has not changed much, only the burial area has been expanded, the columbarium has been added, and the place has been renamed Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery.
The establishment of Babaoshan Revolutionary Cemetery can be traced back to the end of 1949. At that time, Beijing wanted to build a cemetery to commemorate the revolutionary martyrs, and finally decided that the location of the cemetery was Baozhong Huguo Temple.
The detailed design of the cemetery was given to Lin, a famous patriotic architect in China. As a whole, the cemetery was solemn and won the praise of the national leaders at that time, and immediately became the highest-level public cemetery in China, which has been in use ever since.
