In the coffin, Cixi had a jade lotus leaf on her head and a big pink jasper lotus flower at her feet. In the coffin, Cixi wore a phoenix crown with foreign tribute beads embedded in it. There are 27 golden buddhas, emerald buddhas, ruby buddhas and white jade buddhas around her, and each respect 1.75g to 400g.
There are two jade watermelons, two jasper melons, 10 jade peaches, 100 topaz plums, 40 ruby dates and 60 topaz apricots at Cixi's feet.
There are two kinds of emerald white tea on her body, with green leaves and a white heart. A green emerald slug lies in the heart of vegetables, and two topaz wasps fall on the leaves of vegetables.
There is a Yu Lian on the left side of the corpse. There are natural gray sludge on three white jade lotus roots, and green lotus leaves and pink lotus flowers are born on the nodes. In addition, there are jet.
On the right side of the corpse are jade carved red coral trees, flat peaches with green leaves and red fruits, and bluebirds with branches, all carved with natural pigments.
When Cixi's body was filled with treasures, it was covered with a priceless brocade Dalagni quilt.
At that time, officials of Empress Dowager Cixi held out four liters of pearls and precious stones and put them in coffins. Later, eight jade golden horses were released, 18 jade arhats. It is estimated that this rare treasure is worth more than 50 million taels of silver, the embroidered beaded gown worn by Cixi alone is worth 2.65 million taels of silver, and the big pearl on the crested rockhopper is worth 6.5438+100 million taels of silver, while the silver inventory in the Qing Dynasty was less than 70 million taels at that time.
These jewels buried in the tomb of Cixi can be used to build four more tombs of the same size. However, this is only the money consumed by a mausoleum of Cixi.
It is worth mentioning that the mausoleum of Cixi was rebuilt on 1895. At that time, Cixi suspected that the original mausoleum was not luxurious enough, and ordered all the tombs of Ding Dong, which had been built for 22 years, to be demolished and rebuilt. In addition, all raw materials are precious Huang Huali wood; The outer wall is made of ground bricks, and the inner wall is carved with brick and clay gold, all of which are painted with gold; The color of glazed tiles on the roof was changed to dark yellow (the same as that of the Mausoleum).
The white marble columns in the Long 'en Hall are covered with the pattern of "Phoenix attracting dragon", and the words "Phoenix attracting dragon" and "Dragon chasing phoenix" are engraved inside and outside the 69 railings. This phoenix jade dragon carving shows that this woman once controlled two generations of emperors. On the walls of the three main halls of Cixi, golden colored paintings of dragons and phoenixes are flying in a dazzling variety, and the amount of gold used is 4952 Liang.
One year after the death of Cixi, she was buried in the underground palace in October of the first year of Xuantong (1909 1 15). Only 20 years later, it was looted by Sun Dianying. 1February, 979, the Qing Dongling Management Office was officially opened, and the underground palace was re-opened. Pushing open two stone doors, I saw a complete inner coffin exposed on the sarcophagus bed, and the broken outer coffin was thrown in the northwest corner. This is 1928. After the grave robbery, Puyi sent Zaize and others to clean the grave in a hurry. 1984 1 month, experts opened the inner coffin and confirmed that the complete skeleton with yellow silk wrapped in the upper body, embroidered with the word "shou" on the trousers of the lower body, white stockings on the right foot and naked left foot was Cixi.
Now, the inner coffin we see has entered the renovated outer coffin. Nanmu coffin is gorgeous and highly recognizable, but Cixi, who hates being humiliated in the coffin, can never "lie down". It is she who is so arrogant about her burial after death, which leads to the "great shame" that the whole Qing Dongling (except Shunzhi Xiaoling) has been repeatedly excavated.
The treasure in Cixi's coffin is worth 50 million taels of silver, the highest in the world!
How many treasures are buried with Cixi? His confidant eunuch Li personally attended the treasure burial ceremony of Cixi. According to "Notes on Love Moon Xuan" written by him and his nephew, before Cixi's body entered the coffin, there were three layers of gold beads and a layer of pearls at the bottom of the coffin, which was one foot thick. The head is a green lotus leaf; Pink tourmaline lotus under your feet. Wearing a pearl rockhopper, the largest pearl on the crown is as big as an egg, and its value is 65438+ 1 100 million taels of silver. There are 27 Buddha statues carved with gold, precious stones, jade and jade beside him. Jade watermelons, melons, cabbages and peaches, plums, apricots and dates made of more than 200 precious stones are placed on both sides of the foot. Put a Yu Lian on the left and a jade coral tree on the right. There are also 8 jade horses, 18 arhats, totaling more than 700 pieces. After the funeral, four liters of pearls and 2200 precious stones were poured into the coffin.
A coffin full of treasure, gathered together, is naturally a catastrophe. Only 20 years after she closed her eyes, another robber just like her reached out to her, destroyed her coffin and dumped her body.
