1928 when Dongling was robbed in July, the ground building of Jingling was incomplete and some wooden pieces were stolen.
According to the memory of Zaize, the imperial clan who was later responsible for the reburial, the clouds around the small stele pavilion in Jingling lost three pieces of ceiling, the kitchen doors and windows lost, the purlin column lost, the doors and windows of the east and west rooms lost completely, the wooden frames of the east and west rooms lost completely, the walls collapsed, the plaque of Long 'en Gate lost, and the doornails lost completely.
Nevertheless, due to the simple folk customs at that time, there was no major case of exhuming coffins and carrying corpses like Cixi and Gan Long in Jingling Underground Palace. But by the time Japan surrendered in 1945, the country was already on the eve of the war and the situation was turbulent. Dongling bandits, who have been silent for many years, are active again. In this way, Jingling underground palace collapsed.
1August, 945, a local bandit brought many people to Jingling, demolished many bricks in the mausoleum, and failed to get in. So many people were sent to stand guard, and smart people were allowed to dig all night before entering the underground palace. Because it is in rainy season, there is a lot of water in the underground palace. When the bandits came to Golden Ticket, they saw many coffins. When the thief was eager to split the coffin with an axe, there was a sudden fire in the coffin, killing two people on the spot and scaring the gangsters to flee. After a while, there was no silence, and the bandits re-entered the underground palace.
There are many treasures stolen from Jingling, the most famous of which is the "Jiulong Jade Cup", a martyr of Emperor Kangxi. Kowloon Jade Cup, jade, rectangular, 3 cm high, 4 cm wide and 6 cm long, with lid. There are two dragons playing with pearls in each corner of the Jade Cup, and there are ***8 dragons. The handle is 1 dragon, a total of 9 dragons. As long as you fill this precious glass, you can see nine overturned dragons from it, as if chasing and playing in the churning sea. According to legend, during the reign of Kangxi, Yang had stolen the Kowloon Jade Cup three times and failed. After the death of Emperor Kangxi, he brought this precious wine glass into the coffin.
These treasures later fell into the hands of a local grave robber named Tian, who reached an agreement with his accomplices before robbing the tomb. After many efforts, the grave robbers handed over the Kowloon Jade Cup. However, with the passage of time, the Kowloon Jade Cup has disappeared.
After the theft of Jingling, because the entrance to the underground palace was not sealed and nobody managed it, it was "swept away" many times in the future, and precious cultural relics disappeared. In order to crack down on grave robbers and deter crimes, the government attached great importance to this grave robber incident and sent special cadres to handle the case. Those criminals who stole the mausoleum were arrested one after another, and six of them were taken into the city and taken to Jingling Monument for execution. Although these criminals have been punished, those precious cultural relics are scattered all over the country. .......
2. Emperor Qianlong, Yuling
While Sun Dianying was stealing the mausoleum of Empress Dowager Cixi, other soldiers were also robbing the Yuling of Emperor Qianlong. This is where the strange things begin ... who is blocking the door!
After the grave robbers successfully opened several doors in front of the Qianlong Imperial Tomb, the last door couldn't be opened, and it didn't help to smash the door with thick trunks. The soldier was in a hurry and had to blow it up. After the Shimen explosion, the soldiers were surprised to find a great miracle. There are six people buried in Yuling, including Gan Long, Empress Xiao Xianchun and Imperial concubine of Zhejiang and Fujian emperors. The other five coffins were placed on the stone bed, and only Gan Long "walked" down and held on to the stone gate so that the soldiers could not open the door.
What the soldiers can't understand is that the heavy coffin of Qianlong was placed behind the underground stone bed. In order to determine the feng shui line and mark the most prosperous position in Long Mai, four heavy dragon stones were placed at the four corners of the coffin. These four dragon stones firmly fixed Gan Long's heavy coffin. Why did Gan Long's coffin "walk" down alone?
Some experts believe that this is the buoyancy of groundwater leaking into the underground palace that causes the coffin to float. But ... why don't the other five move? After Yuling was stolen, the recapturer described the horror he saw when he entered the underground palace of Qianlong. ...
"I went into the underground with a lamp in my hand and saw several bones floating in the mud. I can't tell whether they are men or women. Their situation is even more tragic than that of the Empress Dowager Cixi in the West. " A dead woman with two hands!
Later generations gathered the bones again and found that there were only four skulls left among the six bones in the tomb, and all the bones were broken. In a coffin pressed under the stone door, people gathered again found a skull, which was judged to be a dry skull because of its large skeleton. After finding Gan Long's skull, only one skull was not found. Everyone in the coffin looked everywhere, but there was no sign. It is speculated that it may have been brought out of the underground palace by grave robbers. Just when people were ready to give up looking, something surprising happened.
!
A complete female corpse emerged in the deep water in the northwest corner of the underground palace, which was amazing. It is inferred that this female corpse should be the filial piety queen. After her death, she was made a filial piety queen and was the biological mother of Emperor Jiaqing. Empress Xiao was also in the same underground palace before Ganlong died. Why are her bones so intact? The old people are confused.
The doubts in the hearts of the old people have not yet been solved, and another problem is bothering them, that is, how to identify the scattered bones? After several days of discussion, it was finally decided to bury a coffin together, creating the only special case of the emperor and queen being buried together since the Qing Dynasty. After the bodies of Empress Dowager Cixi and Emperor Qianlong were reburied, people covered the broken coffins, closed the Shimen, and then completely closed the tunnel. It was not until the 1970s and 1980s that these two underground palaces were opened and cleaned again.
But the same strange thing happened again at 1975! When archaeologists cleaned up the underground palace of Qianlong Imperial Tomb, Qianlong's coffin "walked" down again this time. It stands against the stone gate and acts as a natural stone, making it impossible for people to enter the Yuling underground palace smoothly.
During the period of 1984, the Qing Dongling Cultural Relics Management Office sorted out two tombs, Ganlong and Cixi. The results of the coffin opening verified the records of the survivors of the Qing Dynasty who died again.
3. Emperor Xianfeng, Dingling
The last time I stole Jingling was different. This time, stealing Jingling was commanded by Huang Zhong alone. According to the division of labor in advance, Wang and others directed the looting of Hehe Mausoleum.
Because I don't know much about the architectural structure of Guling, I made a mistake in command, so I made slow progress and was anxious.
After several days of excavation, they finally opened the Dingling underground palace, but at the same time, they heard someone shouting, "Oh, no, there is poisonous gas in the underground palace!" " "With a scream, people who just opened the entrance to the underground palace stepped down like a flood. People gradually calmed down after the musty smell gradually dispersed. At this time, Huang Zhong ordered his men to enter the underground palace at all costs and blast the Shimen! Just then, a young leader who participated in the theft of Dingling reported a very bad news to Huang Jinzhong: There was water in the underground palace of Dingling!
Huang Zhong was surprised and annoyed. He thought that he could easily get the treasure by blasting the stone gate and splitting the coffin, but he found that the underground palace was flooded.
However, as the saying goes, the devil is a foot high, and thieves also have a way. The underground water has not stopped thieves. In order to get the treasures of the underground palace smoothly, the thieves turned to the top of the incense table of Longen Temple and got a big plaque. Plus two rosewood door panels, tied together to make a bamboo chop. An hour later, the fugitives sat on the "boat" and rowed into the coffins of Xianfeng and Zhenzi.
4. Emperor Tongzhi of Hui Ling
When the bandit king led the bandits to open the door of the underground palace of Emperor Tongzhi and dragged the body out of the split coffin, he saw that he had fallen down all his life.
The moldy Tongzhi emperor has only a handful of bones left. The robbers took all the gold, silver and jewels and left.
After some efforts, * * * captured more than 300 bandits, including six gang leaders who committed the most heinous crimes, and took them to Jingling Monument for public execution. Regrettably, Wang, the biggest gangster who robbed the tomb, escaped and was not captured and killed by the local public security department until five years later.
According to the World Journal reported on April 22nd in the thirty-fifth year of the Republic of China (1946), "In December of the thirty-fourth year, the Qing tombs were stolen. First of all, there are two coffins in Tongling, Tongzhi. A companion, a concubine, looks like life. There is Tongzhi Cuiyin 1 table and gold watch 1 block in front of the golden coffin. Jewelry, jade, metal and other products inside and outside the coffin are packed in sacks and then measured with a censer. Gold is about 20 kilograms. "
According to1North China Daily on May 29th, 935, Confessions of Huiling Thief is abbreviated as 1934 1 1 month. Under the command of the commander, civilian workers were recruited to dig Hui Ling and blast the stone gate with explosives. There are four shelves on the first floor, one on each side. On the one hand, there are the emperor's seal and the queen's seal, on the other hand, there are books and printing plates. There is nothing on the second and third floors. There are two coffins on the fourth floor. Split it with an axe and hammer, and take out a half-catty ink bottle, a four-liang gold bagua palm, an American gift gold watch with white beads on all sides that can be used for half a year, two strings of white beads on each side, two strings of twenty-four white beads, a green finger, a golden brazier and a green smoking bag from the imperial coffin. Take out a rockhopper, a pair of white jade bracelets and gold bracelets, a string of jadeite, pearls, agate and wooden beads, a nine-ring chain weighing three taels of gold, a phoenix hairpin, an agate fingerboard, a gold-inlaid white bead ring, a jade brand and a jade hairpin. Other odds and ends can't be counted. "
After Hui Ling was stolen, because Dongling was left unattended at that time, it was not until 1952 that the Qing Dongling set up a cultural relics storage office that the theft was stopped. Because this hole has not been blocked for a long time, many locals have visited this underground palace. According to local legend, the queen in the underground palace of Hui Ling refers to the body of Queen Alut, which has not rotted at all and looks like life. She was stripped naked, her stomach was cut open and her intestines spilled all over the floor. It is widely rumored in society that the queen swallowed gold and died. In order to get gold, they rolled her intestines from beginning to end.
Guang Yun, then director of the Public Security Bureau of Jixian County, investigated and dealt with the "1945 Incident" in that year, and wrote a special article about the situation after several Qing tombs were stolen. The following is an excerpt from what he saw and heard in Hui Ling:
"At that time, Jingling and Hui Ling had been stolen. I went to Jingling first, and found there was water and stones in the cave, so I didn't go down. I went to the Hui Ling subway station again with a torch in my hand. Tang Jianzhong, Li Hemin and zhaowei (all policemen) went underground, and the underground corridor was empty. There was nothing in front of several stone gates and they entered the innermost part. Emperor Tongzhi is on the right, only a handful of bones and clothes are gone. The queen's body did not rot, with long hair and stripped naked. She leaned down and lay in the coffin, with some yellow silk fragments in front of it. When we come out, let the local militia and cadres block the hole. After two or three days, the militia and cadres came to report that the queen (Queen Aru) was pulled out of the coffin, her abdomen was cut open, and the gold was taken out of her intestines. It is said that the queen swallowed gold and died before her death. "
5. Emperor Guangxu, chongling
Chongling is the tomb of Guangxu, the ninth emperor of the Qing Dynasty. It is the last mausoleum in China, and the only one in the four tombs of Xiling that is open to the outside world.
1938 autumn, a group of unidentified soldiers robbed the underground palace in chongling. Legend has it that the theft of chongling was committed by people who had participated in construction projects in those years. Others say it was done by local gangs. Who robbed the underground palace in chongling? We visited a local old man who knew the inside story. He said that in the autumn of 1938, the Japanese army had occupied Yixian at the time of chaos. As the imperial tomb, Xiling lost the majestic Eight Banners guards in the past, and set up a police force composed of descendants of the royal family and the Japanese. In name, it was guarding the tomb, but in fact it worked for the Japanese and fought against the producers' party. At that time, there was a young man near Xiling who was determined to resist Japan and save the country, but he didn't know the * * * production party, and he didn't want to go to the * * * production party or the Kuomintang. He found some relatives and friends in the neighboring village and prepared to form a team to resist Japan, but he didn't have a gun in his hand. What should I do? Several people decided to rob Zhen Fei's tomb. The next night, when they went to the tomb of Princess Zhen, they saw about a battalion of soldiers rushing to chongling. On the way out of chongling the next morning, they saw the traces left by grave robbers-brocade cloth and other trivial things. Chongling was stolen, and who those teams really are is still a mystery.
According to the excavation data, the grave robbers pried open the brick from the front of the inner wall of Fangcheng Crescent City, cut open the city brick cast by underground putty and dug a deep hole. The stolen cave is 99 cm high and 146 cm wide, and the depth of the cave is 23 cm below the bottom wall of the tomb. It passes through the bottom of the door-sealing wall, then digs up the tickets to enter the underground tunnel, and then pries open the top stone of each stone gate with Chinese fir sawdust to enter the golden tickets.
When excavating in 1980, it was found that there were traces of grave robbers prying the door with tools on the stone gate of the underground palace, and all four stone gates were opened by the east gate. In the tomb, the front of Emperor Guangxu's coffin was chiseled with a hammer and axe, and Emperor Guangxu's feet were dragged out of the coffin. The remains are rotted, the bones are still integrated, and the clothes worn on the body are rotted, leaving only two braids, no shoes on the feet and no crown on the head. All the ornaments worn on the body and all the funerary objects in the coffin were stolen, except a jade collar and two jade pieces on the left hand.
Queen Yulong's coffin was badly damaged. Yulong's body and clothes were rotten, only some bones were exposed, and almost all decorations and funerary objects were stolen. When I was cleaning the underground palace, I found a small wallet under Yulong's right rib, which contained more than 200 various pearls and a piece of jade in my hand.
Guangxu's coffin contains thirteen layers of five-color woven gold, Sanskrit, Dalagni satin and various colored woven golden dragon colored satin. Some Sanskrit words on the tent are well preserved, and the words are Tibetan spells that have been appraised by experts. Yulong's coffin has three layers of tents, woven from purple and golden Sanskrit. Both coffins are made of precious nanmu, with an outer coffin and an inner coffin. The coffin is placed in the coffin, and the four walls of the coffin are written in Sanskrit.
Emperor Guangxu's coffin and coffin were cut open by grave robbers with hammers and axes. The head of the deceased was facing north, and the stolen hole was on the coffin board at the foot of the deceased. The hole in the coffin is 1. 10 m long and 85 cm high.
6. Finally, the tomb of Cixi was stolen.
Dongling was stolen, three tombs of Zhongtai tomb in Xiling were well preserved and others were stolen. Officials say that three tombs in the early Qing Dynasty were not stolen. If you don't visit these three tombs in the early Qing Dynasty, it will be the largest and most well-preserved mausoleum group left by the Qing Dynasty.
