How many treasures are buried with Cixi?
According to the Qing Palace archives "Chronicle of Empress Dowager", Cixi put six batches of treasures into Jinjing before her death. And how many treasures are buried with him? Li, his confidante, personally attended the burial ceremony of Cixi's coffin, and wrote Notes of Aiyue Xuan with his nephew, which recorded in detail the types, quantity, location and value of Cixi's funerary objects. In Cixi's coffin, there is a precious pearl mattress woven with gold thread at the bottom, which is 7 inches thick and inlaid with precious pearls 12604, 85 rubies and 203 white jade. The brocade mattress is covered with a layer of silk mattress embroidered with lotus flowers, and there are 2400 pearls on the silk mattress. Covered with Cixi is a bed of gold woven Dalagni quilt, which is made of bright yellow satin with a length of 280 cm and a width of 274 cm and twisted with gold. The golden quilt not only has various patterns, but also has 25,000 Chinese characters and Dalagni scriptures. The quilt is decorated with 820 pearls. After the grave robbers took the pearls, they abandoned this priceless quilt in the ground. 1979 discovered it when cleaning the underground palace. The quilt is also covered with 6000 pearls, which is also priceless. When Cixi died, there was a 18 mussel Buddha in front of her head, and a Pian Yu lotus leaf on her head, full of blue veins, weighing 225 yuan and 40 cents. It was worth 2.852 million taels of silver at that time. There are 10 golden Buddha and 8 jade carved horses on both sides of the head, and there are 18 jade arhats on hand. Cixi wears a crested phoenix inlaid with pearls and jewels. The crown is inlaid with a pearl spear that weighs four times as much as an egg. Was it worth about 1000 silver at that time? 20 million taels, its rockhopper value can be imagined. There is a night pearl in his mouth, which is divided into two pieces. When it is closed, it is a ball, transparent and dull. When it is closed, it reveals a green cold light, and you can see your hair in a few hundred steps at night. There are three beads hanging around the neck, two are pearls and one is ruby; Wearing a gold silk skirt, embroidered beaded coat, boots and holding Yu Lian. This Yu Lian is carved with a kind of superior gemstone called "tourmaline". Three white jade lotus roots have natural plaster, green lotus leaves and pink lotus flowers on the nodes. This "tourmaline" is extremely rare and is a rare treasure in the world. There are two more at the foot of Cixi, probably 15? 20 cm emerald watermelon, two yellow flesh with white skin, two yellow flesh with green skin and white seeds, and several black melon seeds are all natural and colorful. It is said that the valuation at that time was 5 million taels of silver. In addition, there are two jasper melons, emerald peaches 10, topaz plums 100, 40 ruby dates and 60 topaz apricots. There are two jade cabbages with green leaves and a white heart beside Cixi. On the white cabbage, there is a green slug and two classic wasps beside the green leaves. Handsome colors are used properly, unique and rare. In addition, there is a emerald green lotus leaf, which is dripping green and beautiful, thus forming the artistic conception of "lotus blossoms step by step". In addition, there is black jade on the left side of the body. On the right side of the corpse, there stands a jade carving red coral tree, with a flat peach with green leaves and red fruits wrapped around it, and a bluebird on its branch, all carved with natural pigments. In addition, there are 108 statues of golden Buddha, jade Buddha, ruby Buddha and jade Buddha beside him or at his feet, and every respect is 6 Liang; There are 10 green peaches with pink tips, and it is difficult to tell whether they are true or false. Next to his body, there are more than 700 gems, jade and jet mustard. 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 "smoke flowing". It is estimated that this rare treasure is worth more than 50 million taels of silver, the embroidered beaded gown worn by Cixi alone is worth 2.65 million taels of silver, and the big pearl on the crested rockhopper is worth 6.5438+100 million taels of silver, while the inventory of silver in Qing Dynasty is less than 70 million taels. These jewels buried in the tomb of Cixi can be used to build four more tombs of the same size. After the burial, undertaker found that there was still a gap in the coffin, so he poured four liters of pearls (8 minutes for 500 pearls, 3 minutes for 2,200 pearls, and 2 minutes for 65,438 pearls+0,000 pearls). There are 2200 rubies and emeralds. These empty pearls alone are worth 2.23 million taels of silver. These are part of the coffin funerary objects. From the completion of the tomb of Cixi in Dongling in 1879 to the final closure of the underground palace, various rare treasures and more than 1000 pieces of golden jade offerings have been placed in the underground palace for 30 years. It is worth mentioning that the mausoleum of Cixi was rebuilt on 1895. At that time, Cixi suspected that the original mausoleum was not luxurious enough, and ordered all the tombs of Ding Dong, which had been built for 22 years, to be demolished and rebuilt. In addition, all raw materials are precious Huang Huali wood; The outer wall is made of ground bricks, and the inner wall is carved with brick and clay gold, all of which are painted with gold; The color of glazed tiles on the roof was changed to dark yellow (the same as that of the Mausoleum). The white marble columns in the Long 'en Hall are covered with the pattern of "Phoenix attracting dragon", and the words "Phoenix attracting dragon" and "Dragon chasing phoenix" are engraved inside and outside the 69 railings. This phoenix jade dragon carving shows that this woman once controlled two generations of emperors. On the walls of the three main halls of Cixi, golden colored paintings of dragons and phoenixes are flying in a dazzling variety, and the amount of gold used is 4952 Liang. Cixi probably didn't expect that 19 years after her death, her mausoleum was stolen, her bones were exposed and humiliated, and the treasures buried with her were looted.
