The mausoleum was designed and built by Lei and Lei Qi style. It took six years and cost more than five million taels of silver. This is also ironic. In the superstition of ancient people in China, a bare grave without grass was unlucky. In the eyes of the ancients, such a tomb is ungrounded and has no family resources, which will harm future generations. In other words, ordinary people must choose another cemetery on another day. However, Cixi asked that such a bald grave be put forward by herself. Even if the Feng Shui master at that time knew, he only dared to do so. In fact, the status of ancient women was very low. There is only one female emperor in the history of China, that is, Wu Zetian. The later period of Empress Dowager Cixi is an unknown era. At that time, people all over the country listened to Cixi and thought that the emperor was just a decoration. Empress Dowager Cixi built her own mausoleum by hook or by crook.
Cixi Mausoleum is the most luxurious and expensive mausoleum in the late Qing Dynasty. When it was completed, Cixi made a request. At that time, many excellent craftsmen were puzzled that there could be no grass on his tomb. This request is really great. Many emperors or queens hope that there are many precious flowers and trees beside the tomb to show their lifelong contribution, but her practice has puzzled many people. Planting trees is good for their descendants, especially since his grave is bare. The craftsmen tried many methods, but failed to control the growth of plants. After all, these plants will grow out soon after cleaning. Even some shrewd craftsmen think that Cixi is deliberately making things difficult. This kind of thing is impossible.
