Cixi's mausoleum is very luxurious, but there is no grass on her grave. What's going on here?

Speaking of Cixi, she is almost a household name. She has held state affairs in her own hands for many years and lived a very luxurious life. Even the mausoleum after her death is very luxurious. But careful friends can find that although Cixi's mausoleum is extremely luxurious, there has never been a grass growing on her grave. It stands to reason that it is normal to grow grass on the grave. The lush grass on the grave indicates that the feng shui of the grave may be better, which can benefit future generations. The population is prosperous and the financial resources are constant, while Cixi's grave is the opposite. In fact, there is no grass on Cixi's grave for a reason.

Although Cixi was not an emperor, she was the real ruler in the late Qing Dynasty and ruled the feudal dynasty in China for a long time. Even though she didn't make much achievements during her reign, she always lived a very luxurious life, even the mausoleum she built. 1873, the construction of the mausoleum of Cixi began. It is said that the whole project cost is about 2.27 million yuan.

However, Cixi was always particularly dissatisfied with her mausoleum. After the death of Empress Ci 'an 188 1, Cixi began to rebuild her mausoleum. After the mausoleum was repaired, Cixi came to inspect it and thought it was ok, but she liked it very much because Li said? Baoding is a mound, how can the grass not grow? This sentence made Cixi very depressed. Later, she thought that if grass grew on the grave, it would mean that grass would become an enemy, so in order to avoid this situation, Cixi ordered craftsmen not to let grass grow on the grave.

Craftsmen also tried their best to do this, but no matter what method they used, weeds could not be completely removed. However, God rewards hard work. Finally, a craftsman came up with a way, that is, first stir-fry the soil in an iron pan, and then add sulfur and saltpeter, so that nothing can grow. Finally, this method was adopted when the tomb of Cixi was covered with soil, so that grass could not grow on the tomb of Cixi.
