How did the body of the Empress Dowager Cixi, who was not buried immediately after death, be preserv

Speaking of the preservation of the body of the Empress Dowager Cixi, it can be said that it consumed a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources of the Qing Dynasty. Because Cixi's life experience is no one more noble than him in his own opinion. He has been in charge of the Qing Dynasty for nearly 50 years, and he is a rare woman in history who has been able to control the government for so long.

The reason why the funeral can be postponed for a year is so luxuriousBecause Cixi's husband Huang Taiji was the second ruler of the Qing Dynasty, and later married Dolgon, his son became the first emperor after entering the customs, and his grandson was also the famous Kangxi EmperorHow could such a queen mother allow her funeral to be too simple. Later, Cixi was really buried a year after her death, and it took a year to prepare for the funeral, and the way the body was preserved in this year also made everyone spend too much energy.

After Cixi's death, the first thing to do was to clean the bodyThen finely apply a large amount of preservative spicesThen put a thick shroud on the corpse. There is a saying in ancient times that a very precious jewel in the mouth will not rot when the corpse is in her mouth, and there is no doubt that Cixi has one of the most precious jewels in the country. After disposing of the corpse, put the corpse into a coffin treated with antiseptic (according to records, the coffin used by Cixi is made of golden silk nanmu), and then seal all the gaps in the coffin, so that oxygen can not enter the coffin to prevent the corpse from oxidizing, and finally store the corpse in a cooler place.

It was stored like this for a year.

Cixi's funeral ceremony is very grand, not at all can be handled by manpower, and there is still a long way to go from the mausoleum, so there are still a lot of carriages and ox cartsPeople say that the day of the funeral is very smelly, and this smell is not all the smell of rotting corpses, but also the smell of cow and horse manure. It can be seen that with so much effort, the corpse was not preserved very well.

Ice cubes were usually stored in the court, and ice cubes were used to refrigerate, and they were still not rotten at that time.

Because Cixi had a night pearl in her mouth after she died. This pearl of the night can keep the body from decaying for many years. But this pearl of the night was also pried open and stolen.

Cixi's remains are embodied in the Dingdong Mausoleum, after Sun Dianying robbed the tomb, until the personnel of the Qing Dongling Management Office cleaned up the mausoleum area, Cixi's body has been in the Dingdong Mausoleum.

After Cixi's death, her body was buried in the coffin three times. The first was on November 16, 1908, the day after Cixi's death, when her body was buried in a coffin in the Imperial Palace of the Forbidden City. The second time was in July 1928, Sun Dianying bandits excavated Cixi's mausoleum, destroyed the outer coffin, pried open the inner coffin, lifted Cixi's body out, and threw it on the coffin lid placed on his back, and on August 24, Puyi sent people to Tanglin for a reburial; The third burial took place in 1984.

Gold, silver, jewelry, etc., but then it was stolen to an empty tomb, and the corpses were taken out of the coffin and thrown aside, maybe this is retribution.

In the spring of 1928, Sun Dianying opened two mausoleums, one is the mausoleum of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the other is the mausoleum of Emperor Qianlong, of which Emperor Qianlong only has a skeleton left, and Cixi's body is not decomposed.

At first, it was for decay, but as soon as the coffin was opened, the corpse weathered and immediately dried up, and Cixi still had a lesson jewel in her mouth.

It's very simple: The coffin is tightly sealed and dressed in gold and jade clothes.

It was treated with antiseptic and sealed well, and Sun's men raped the corpse at that time.

Because he has the pearl of the night in his mouth.

No, how do you know it's not rotten?
