There are two reasons:
1, most people think that preventing corpses from rotting.
1July, 928, Sun Dianying used the excuse that he was a descendant of Sun Chengzong, and dug Dongling to avenge Sun Chengzong. In fact, Sun Dianying knew that there were many pearls, jadeites, gold, precious stones, and precious paintings and calligraphy in Cixi's tomb. Of course, Sun Dianying believed that only treasures were valuable, so he destroyed many precious paintings and calligraphy works. When Sun Dianying dug up the tomb of the Qing Dynasty and opened the coffin of Cixi, a lamp was gradually turned on in the space. The flashlight and flashlight in his hand suddenly lost their luster. Under the bull's eye, nothing happened in the coffin. The bright light comes from the jewels piled up in the coffin. Cixi, who has been dead for 20 years, seems to be sleeping. The person in charge of the funeral put a night pearl in Cixi's mouth to protect her body from corrosion.
2. Treasure, collect it
According to Li, Cixi's favorite eunuch, Li wrote: Before burial, put a layer of pearls at the bottom of the coffin. Cixi wears a rockhopper crown with pearls with a value of100000 silver. Next to it are 27 pieces of gold, precious stones and jade. There are more than 200 peaches, plums, apricots and dates made of precious stones on both sides of the feet. ? However, Cixi's most famous funerary object is the night pearl in her mouth. It is said that the night pearl is separated into two transparent pearls. When it is closed, it will give a green light, which can be seen within 100 meters. Very clear. Cixi especially advocated power when she was alive. In her life, she mastered the rule of the Qing Dynasty for more than half a century. Therefore, during her half century in power, she collected wealth from all over the world. Before she died, she arranged a super luxurious room for herself. She wants to enjoy the glory after death.
Cixi is a selfish person who is extremely extravagant to herself. She enjoyed all the glory before her death, but what she didn't expect was that her grave was excavated after 23 years.
