Why is there no grass in Cixi s mausoleum?

It is because the feng shui of this place is not very good, and there are tomb robbers who go to rob the tomb, which destroys the surrounding soil and causes dryness, and there will be no grass.

Regarding the cause of Cixi's death, there have been too many experts and scholars who have revealed the secret in recent years, and a consensus has basically been reached. That is, Emperor Guangxu was poisoned to death, as for who it is, it is the most likely that the Empress Dowager Cixi is certain. Regarding why the Empress Dowager Cixi poisoned Emperor Guangxu, we have analyzed it in detail in the previous issue, and here we will skip it and only mention the burial of these two people.

It was because there was too much gold and silver jewelry in his mausoleum, and these gold and silver jewelry caused a lot of mercury to appear on the land, which led to the lack of vegetation.

There is no grass around Cixi's mausoleum, why is that? Because she's too vicious. Cixi spent her entire life in the countryside and did not make any contributions.

She ceded the land to foreigners, leaving no land. Her grave was bare. She really has a lot of personality.

This "wild grass" is her own wish, and it is also the result of her spending a lot of money. Cixi was buried in the Dingdong Tomb of the Qing Dynasty. Its full name is "Hakata Tanodin Tomb".

Cixi was a very superstitious person. She believed that people have an afterlife, a soul, and a ghost after death. Therefore, the tombs after death must be luxurious in order to enjoy the glory and wealth as they did when they were alive.

Her mausoleum is on the ninth day of the Qingming Festival in March of the twelfth year of Tongzhi. Emperor Tongzhi personally surveyed Feng Shui and renamed the Putuo Valley of Putuo Mountain, a treasure of Feng Shui, as her mausoleum.

<> mausoleum was designed and built by the Seven Styles Thunder Thunder Chang. It took six years and more than five million taels of silver. It's also ironic.

In the superstition of the ancient Chinese, it was very unlucky for a bare tomb to have no grass. In the opinion of the ancients, such a mausoleum was groundless and had no family resources, which would harm future generations. That is, the average person has to choose another cemetery on another day.

But Cixi asked for such a bald tomb to be proposed by herself. Even if the feng shui master at that time knew, he only dared to do so. In fact, the status of women in ancient times was very low.

There was only one female emperor in Chinese history, Wu Zetian, and the late Cixi period was an era that was not well known. At that time, the people of the whole country listened to Cixi's words and thought that the emperor was just an ornament, and the Empress Dowager Cixi built her own mausoleum by any means.

Cixi Mausoleum is the most luxurious and expensive mausoleum in the late Qing Dynasty. When it was built, Cixi made a request, which puzzled many excellent craftsmen at the time, that is, there should be no grass on his mausoleum. This request is wonderful.

Many emperors or empress dowagers wanted there to be many precious flowers, plants, and trees next to their tombs to show their life's contributions, but her approach left many people confused that planting trees was good for their children and grandchildren, especially since his tomb was bare. The craftsmen tried a lot of things, but failed to control the growth of the plant. After all, these plants grow very quickly after being cleaned up.

Even some acerbic craftsmen thought Cixi was deliberately making things difficult. This kind of thing can't be done.

<> "Method 1: Sprinkle the mausoleum with the blood of boys.

For Xunru's request, it really stumped the people who built the mausoleum, they had never seen anyone make such a request, there was no way at all.

When there is no way in feudal society, it is easy to believe in superstition, and there is a noisy superstitious saying that if the blood of a boy is sprinkled on the land of the mausoleum, then the land will not grow grass. Such a ridiculous method has really been tried. It is conceivable that this method did not work at all, but sacrificed a young life in vain.

Method 2: Mix the soil with saltpeter and sulfur and fry together.

The orders of the rulers of the society with the supremacy of imperial power had to be followed, and everyone racked their brains to find a way. Finally, some people found that no grass would grow on the land where firecrackers were released, so some people analyzed the ingredients in firecrackers. There are Shengchang wide saltpeter and sulfur in the firecrackers, so they fry the soil with saltpeter and sulfur, and all the nutrients in the soil are gone, so naturally the grass will not grow.

The mausoleum of Ciyuan and Juxi, also known as Dongling, is located in the Ming Tombs Scenic Area of Changping District, Beijing, and is one of the mausoleums of the Empress Dowager Cixi, the emperor of the late Qing Dynasty. There are several possibilities for the lack of grass growing around this mausoleum:

1.Orderly management: The management department of the scenic spot may have taken measures to take the initiative to manage and maintain the vegetation around the mausoleum to keep it clean and orderly.

2.Location and soil environment: The geographical location and soil environment of Tanglin may not be conducive to grass growth, or it is not common for vegetation to grow on the land around the mausoleum, but this needs to be verified by further research.

3.Political Symbolism: There are some voices that believe that the purpose of not allowing grass to grow is to show the majesty and authority of the royal family, to avoid the overgrowth of plants and trees in the mausoleum, which makes people feel solemn, and also shows respect and reverence for the ancient tomb.

Whatever the possibility, the mausoleum of Tanglin is a historical testimony to the orange posture and the cultural heritage of the Chinese nation, which we should protect and maintain.

The main reason why the mausoleum of the Empress Dowager Cixi will not grow grass is that the Empress Dowager Cixi asked Prince Qing to deal with this matter at that time, and mixed lime powder in the soil of the mausoleum, which also removed weeds from the roots. Therefore, it can be guaranteed that in many years, there will be no "spring breeze blowing and rebirth". The Empress Dowager Cixi was mindful of the fact that the grass would grow separately after her death, so she ordered the weeds to be disposed of.

Because of the rainy days, the weeds were replenished by the rain, and the weeds next to the Empress Dowager Cixi's mausoleum were overgrown and very lush. Although the meaning of "growing grass separately" in the folk is actually good, that is, it can bless the people of future generations, but the Empress Dowager Cixi was born in the palace, so she naturally did not know about this matter, which was because she felt that the weeds were not very comfortable by her noble side.

Under the intervention of others, that is, under the gossip of the people around her at that time, the Empress Dowager Cixi also knew that she had done a lot of bad things, so she was also afraid in her heart, afraid that bad words would become true. Therefore, getting rid of the weeds in her mausoleum is also a way for the Empress Dowager Cixi to comfort herself, feeling that she will not leave a bad reputation of "falling grass". Therefore, the Empress Dowager Cixi pays great attention to her reputation, whether it is during her lifetime or after her death.

Therefore, for this reason, the interior of the mausoleum of the Empress Dowager Cixi is very luxuriously repaired, and it is also equipped with many rare treasures.

There are also rumors that the Empress Dowager Cixi must not have allowed herself to live in a damp place after her death, so she invited someone to come and "fry" the soil in her mausoleum at that time, so the indirect reasons later led to the fact that the mausoleum of the Empress Dowager Cixi was not grown. Therefore, it can also be directly seen that chemistry also developed to a certain extent at that time. I also know how to make the air in a place not particularly humid.

Therefore, it is not difficult to see that people also had wisdom at that time, and it also had a great influence on the development of later generations.

Because Cixi thinks that the grass grows because it has the meaning of "falling grass for the coquettish", then she herself is the grass coward, not the queen mother who is the lord of a country.

The reason why Cixi's mausoleum is barren is that he has a lot of antiseptic mercury under the tomb, which will make it difficult for the surrounding grass to grow.

Because Cixi once ordered craftsmen to dig up all the grave soil for "frying", and after "frying", there will be no grass left.

Because Cixi didn't want her mausoleum to grow grass. Therefore, the craftsmen added a large amount of fried lime and sulfur to the sealed soil of Cixi's mausoleum.

Cixi ordered Prince Yi Xun to find a hundred cauldrons and heat and stir-fry the soil that needed to be covered above the mausoleum, so that the nutrients in the soil were lost. But this was not done completely, and weeds still grew. Later, the craftsmen added some sulfur and other substances to the soil, and no weeds could grow anymore.

Cixi felt that the grass on the mausoleum was unlucky, so she asked the people who built the mausoleum to find a way, and the designer who built the mausoleum mixed the raw soil with saltpeter and sulfur and stir-fried it, and covered the fried soil on the top of the mausoleum, so that until now, the mausoleum has no grass.

The reason why the Cixi Mausoleum does not grow grass is that the sealing soil she uses above the mausoleum is fried cooked soil, and there are no nutrients in the cooked soil, so not a single inch of grass grows.

Cixi's mausoleum was actually requested by the Empress Dowager Cixi herself, and when she built the mausoleum, she stumped many craftsmen, and later came up with a way to use a large amount of lime and sulfur mixed in the sealed soil to prevent grass from growing.

Because Cixi was worried that her descendants would not be able to sweep her tomb, she made her mausoleum out of cement, so that even if her descendants did not sweep the tomb, it would not be very deserted.

It is understood that the soil above the mausoleum has been processed by a special method to kill the grass seeds in the soil.

Many people will find that there is no grass on the sealed soil of Cixi, according to folk sayings, this is a phenomenon that is not conducive to future generations, and then go to see the tomb of Kangxi Qianlong, their "grave" will grow grass, it seems that there is really such a kind of confirmation in the dark, but in fact, what is going on, we must have a scientific attitude, not too superstitious about this ethereal so-called legend.

After Cixi's death, according to her wishes before her death, a big funeral was undoubtedly another aggravation for the Qing **, which had already been financially exhausted, but Lafayette had to be decent during his lifetime, and of course he could not be ambiguous after his death.

Don't be busy gasping when you see this, Cixi's five million was only used when she was buried, and she was not polite when she built her mausoleum before, it stands to reason that the scale of Cixi's mausoleum should not be greater than that of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty, and the funeral goods should not exceed the Qing Dynasty royal family.

However, who is Cixi, that is the real master of the late Qing Dynasty, not to mention that when building the mausoleum, it exceeded the ancestral system, even if he openly poisoned Emperor Guangxu, how many people dared to accuse it on the spot, so, in Cixi's opinion, the mausoleum must be how comfortable and how to come, don't think about what bullshit ancestral system is not ancestral system or anything.

It is also for this reason that in order to curry favor with Cixi, the chief of the craftsmen is said to have all the statues of phoenixes in Cixi's tomb that are higher than the statues of dragons. Not only that, Cixi, the actual head of the Qing Dynasty, also built her mausoleum with great luxury, containing a large number of rare treasures.

This memory made Cixi very uncomfortable with the image of grass growing on the grave, and always felt that after such a death, it was exactly the same as the grave of ordinary people, and Cixi, who had always had a good face, would never tolerate such a thing.

In fact, according to folklore, there is such a reason, that is, because there are many villains around Cixi, and Cixi really does not know that the grass on the grave has such a symbol of "sheltering future generations and prospering in future generations".

It turned out that while Cixi had a good face, there were also some masters who were proficient in feng shui and suggested to Cixi, saying that if there was too much grass in the "grave", once it encountered rain, then it would inevitably penetrate down the roots of the grass, and after a long time, the tomb would inevitably be damp, Cixi had always paid attention to her feelings, even if she died, she would not allow herself to live in a damp tomb, so Cixi immediately ordered to send skilled craftsmen to dig out all the grave soil for "frying", and after "frying" the grave, at that time, Sure enough, there was no grass left. Of course, Cixi was very satisfied, and was buried in it after her death, looking forward to living a comfortable life in the underworld.

But it's a pity that Cixi later made a thousand calculations, and she didn't count a small warlord Sun Dianying in later generations, so she swaggered and dug up her mausoleum.
