She is the Empress Dowager Cixi who ruled for 50 years in the late Qing Dynasty. Anyone with a little knowledge of history will gnash his teeth at Cixi. It is not surprising that her grave was stolen by thieves. So the question is, what is the tomb of Cixi?
According to records, the demanding Cixi had extremely high demands on the three halls of the mausoleum, and almost all of them were demolished and rebuilt. The main project lasted six years and cost more than five million taels of silver. For the second demolition project, in the 25th year of Guangxu, the court allocated 1.5 million yuan, and later it was bottomless.
1908 181October 18, and the project was finally completed after 13 years of reconstruction. Only three halls use 4592 Liang! The single stone in the mausoleum is carved by high relief and through carving technology, with the pattern "Dragon in the bottom, Phoenix in the top". This also represents her overwhelming the meaning of Guangxu emperor Guangxu.
Among them, 69 white marble slabs around Long 'en Temple are carved with "Phoenix attracts dragons to chase" everywhere, and 74 watchheads break the format of one dragon and one phoenix in history, all of which are "one phoenix suppresses two dragons", suggesting that she has fallen twice.
It can be said that the "luxury" degree of Cixi Mausoleum is absolutely overwhelming the Forbidden City. Eight-Nation Alliance ransacked the Forbidden City, and the tomb of Cixi became the biggest piece of fat when warlords scuffled.
After Cixi was buried, the workers who built the cemetery were killed according to the rules. This can avoid the situation that the situation under the cemetery is leaked after his death. There happened to be such a worker who escaped the disaster by playing dead. And this kind of "negligence" also made Cixi extremely painful.
It is precisely because of the luxurious decoration of Cixi cemetery that it laid the groundwork for the theft of the cemetery later. 20 years after Cixi's death, that is, from July 4th, 1928 to July 10th 10. Sun Dianying, a warlord, stole the tomb of Cixi under the guidance of workers who had survived before.
When the coffin was opened, Sun Dianying was stunned by the jewels in front of him, so he took away all the buried treasures. Besides, Cixi's body was thrown out of the coffin and the orb in her mouth was taken away. The most cruel thing is that Cixi's coat was stripped naked, leaving only a pair of underwear under her body.
Soon after, the last emperor Puyi and others knew the news. Although they were angry, no one paid attention to his condemnation. Finally, the helpless Puyi can only send his cronies to Dongling to rebury Cixi's body.
Cixi, who was arrogant before her death, never thought that her tomb was stolen in such a short time. If she is given another chance, will she be tougher on those in power?
