When Cixi died, she wore a crested phoenix inlaid with pearls and precious stones. A pearl in the crown weighs four taels and is as big as an egg. At that time, the value of 10 was more than two thousand silver, and the value of rockhopper can be imagined.

These "fill-in-the-blank" jewels alone are worth 2.23 million taels of silver.
Selling, destroying, smuggling and losing stolen treasures abroad.
It is said that the most precious funerary object in Cixi's coffin belongs to the Nine Linglong Pagoda carved by white jade, which is said to be a "smoke stream".
Legend has it that there are four jadeite watermelons in Cixi's coffin, two with white skin and yellow seeds and two with green skin and white seeds, which are worth 6 million taels of silver.
It is reported that the treasures stolen from Cixi Mausoleum were either used for bribery by Sun Dianying and others, or sold, destroyed or even smuggled out of the country, and most of them are still missing.
It is said that in order to escape guilt, Sun Dianying once gave Song Meiling the Pearl of the Night, which Cixi called.
There is a jade cabbage in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, which is the treasure of its town hall and probably the lost property of Cixi Mausoleum.
But with the passage of time, no one can tell where these stolen treasures went.
1928, Sun Dianying, the 1st12nd commander of the National Revolutionary Army stationed near Dongling, Zunhua, Hebei Province, had the idea of Dongling and sent his teacher Tan Wenjiang to inquire about the situation.
Through the mouth of a eunuch who had served Cixi, Tan Wenjiang learned that there were a large number of rare treasures buried in the tomb of Cixi in Ding Dong Mausoleum, and copied them from the eunuch's Notes on Aiyuexuan, the Treasure Map of Cixi, and the Clothes after Filial Piety.
After finding out the situation, Tan Wenjiang proposed to Sun Dianying the suggestion of excavating the tomb of Cixi. On July 1928 and 1, Sun Dianying ordered Tan Wenjiang to strictly observe all the main roads in Dongling to prevent others from entering. After driving the troops of two brigades into Dongling, he began to explore the entrance to the underground palace, and planned to leave Dongling on the grounds of changing the defense after the robbery, blaming the incident on bandits.
After blasting the underground gate, he successfully entered the mausoleum of Cixi.
After some twists and turns, the soldiers who robbed the tomb found the entrance to the underground palace of Cixi. Entering the ancient cave gate from under the Ming building, at the end of the corridor is a wall with steel bars cast, and the entrance to the underground palace is under this "King Kong Wall".
From July 4th to July 10, guns kept coming from Dongling. The locals thought it was a war and no one dared to go out. But what they didn't expect was that the two mausoleums had been exploded.
The soldiers who entered the underground palace of Cixi did not expect that they entered the main tomb very smoothly and saw the coffins and buried treasures effortlessly. The main tomb of Cixi is a stone chamber paved entirely with white marble, with a white marble platform in the middle, that is, the "treasure bed". Above the stone platform, there is a huge coffin, which is Zigong of Empress Dowager Cixi. On the two stone piers on both sides, there are incense treasures and album pages recording Cixi posthumous title.
