According to historical records, we all know that Cixi lived a luxurious life and enjoyed human wealth. Even before she died, she racked her brains to take away all the treasures in the world. It was this idea of Cixi that led future generations to dig the tomb of Cixi and get a windfall from it. As a result, the tomb of Cixi was dug up by some people, and her body was thrown out of the coffin in just 20 years.
It seems to be 1928. When Sun Dianying, a warlord, dug up the tomb of Cixi, he found that the body of Cixi had been well preserved without serious decay. After they took away the finance inside, they left the body of Cixi aside. Later, Pu Yi led a group of Manchu old people to come back to life crying in the underground palace of Cixi, and hastily cleaned up and buried the bones of Cixi.
It was not until the 1980s that the Cultural Relics Bureau officially renovated the tomb of Cixi, because Cixi's coffin was sealed by Puyi from the beginning. The Cultural Relics Bureau decided to restore the underground palace of Cixi, restore the appearance of Cixi when she was buried, and make a model exhibition. However, when the Cultural Relics Bureau began to open Cixi's coffin, they were all shocked at the moment when the coffin was opened. Cixi's bones were neatly wrapped in a satin and covered with a yellow robe, and the funerary objects for Cixi were scattered around, which could be ignored. Of course, it is because when Puyi buried Cixi again, Puyi was penniless and as poor as a beggar. Where did he get the spare money to buy funerary objects?
The underground palace of Cixi that we saw today is the scene after the Cultural Relics Bureau sent experts to embalm the remains of Cixi and repair the underground palace. Otherwise, the body of Cixi has been corrupted by now, and what we see may only be powder.
