Empress Dowager Cixi was the supreme ruler in the late Qing Dynasty, and she was also famous for her luxury. Her usual sports and other aspects are very luxurious, and the appearance of her mausoleum is even more amazing, which is regarded as a luxury among luxury goods. In the mausoleum of Empress Dowager Cixi, there is a lot of gold, and the workmanship is different. Some are gilded, some are swept and some are gilded. The investment in building this mausoleum alone was as high as 4,592 taels, and their treasury was empty at that time.
However, Empress Dowager Cixi simply ignored this. She used so much gold when she built the mausoleum, which shows how extravagant she is. In addition, the funerary objects of Empress Dowager Cixi are also very luxurious and rich. Generally, there is a golden well in the tomb of an emperor or queen. There are many rare treasures under the coffin. This golden well has the function of a tomb. In the Qing Dynasty, emperors and concubines liked pearls very much, and so did Empress Dowager Cixi. Her favorite is a string of pearl bracelets, made of 18 fine pearls. Empress dowager cixi was very fond of this string of pearls when she was alive, so someone suggested throwing this string of pearls into the golden well as the tomb of the town, and empress dowager cixi agreed.
But later, I regretted it, but I was afraid to take it out. I'm worried that I'll lose the function of the town tomb and I'll really be robbed in the future. After all, after death, no one can control what is behind him. Later, Empress Dowager Cixi often talked about this string of pearls. Li, the eunuch around her, is very talkative and open-minded. Finally, Empress Dowager Cixi agreed and sent someone to Jinjing to take out the bracelet. Later, Empress Dowager Cixi brought this bracelet when attending a banquet hosted by foreigners. At that time, many foreigners were surprised to see this string of pearl bracelets.
