She is not an emperor, but she plays with two generations of emperors in her palm; She is just a woman, but let the phoenix fly high above the dragon; Her mausoleum surpassed her husband's and was the most exquisite in the eastern Qing Dynasty. However, what she didn't expect was that it was this exquisiteness that made her grave stolen and her soul restless after her death. She is the famous Empress Dowager Cixi who ruled China for nearly 60 years in modern history. The "fill-in-the-blank" jewelry in the coffin is worth 2.23 million taels of silver, and the value of funerary objects is 1 100 million taels of silver.
In Cixi's coffin, the bottom was covered with a 7-inch-thick gold-woven cushion, which was inlaid with pearls 12604, 85 precious stones 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 gold woven Dalagni quilt, which is made of bright yellow satin and twisted gold thread, with 25,000 words of Dalagni scriptures on it. 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.
The treasures stolen from Cixi Mausoleum were either used for bribery by Sun Dianying and others, or sold, destroyed or even smuggled out of the country, and most of them are still missing. After finding out the situation at that time, Tan Wenjiang put forward a suggestion to Sun Dianying to rob the tomb of Cixi. Sun Dianying ordered Tan Wenjiang to strictly observe all the main roads of Dongling, and beware of others entering. After he drove the troops of two brigades into Dongling, he blasted the underground gate and successfully entered the mausoleum of Cixi, intending to blame the bandits. In order to escape guilt, Sun Dianying once gave Song Meiling the Pearl of the Night, as Cixi called it. There is a jade cabbage in the National Palace Museum in Taipei, which is the treasure of its town hall and probably the lost property of Cixi Mausoleum. But with the passage of time, no one can tell where these stolen treasures went.
