According to "Notes on Love Moon Xuan", before entering the coffin, Cixi laid a gold-inlaid brocade mattress at the bottom of the coffin, which was about seven inches thick. The brocade mattress is covered with a layer of embroidered silk mattress, then with a layer of beads, and then with a thin mattress embroidered with beads. There is a jade lotus leaf in front of the head, a jade watermelon pillow under the head, and a big tourmaline lotus at the foot. After all this was cleaned up, Cixi's ruler was moved into the coffin. Cixi wore an embroidered robe made of gold wire beads, covered with embroidered beads, wrapped around her body with nine beads, and placed eighteen mussels beside Cixi's hand. According to records, the above jewels are personal filial piety and are not included in the public account. Cixi covered herself with a quilt of Tatra Buddhist scriptures and wore a bead crown. On both sides of the Pearl Crown, there are golden Buddha and jade Buddha 108 statues, one watermelon and two melons for each foot, and hundreds of treasures such as peaches, plums, apricots and dates. On the left side of her body, there are three jade lotus roots and lotus leaves. Put a coral tree on your right. The rest of the gap is filled with pearls, gems and other things, and then covered with a net bead quilt, which is the end of the funeral. Just as the coffin was about to be covered, a princess came, uncovered the pearl quilt, stuffed a jade horse and eighteen jade arhats, put them in the hands of Ci Ge, then covered the coffin, and the funeral was over.
