Cixi, the "Lafayette", not only had many bizarre experiences before his death, but also had incredible experiences after his death: Cixi's body was buried in the same coffin three times in 76 years, and it is still intact. Tongzhi five years, Xianfeng Emperor Dingling completed.
According to the Qing Dynasty, the tombs of his Empresses Ci 'an and Cixi can only be located near Dingling, and only one shopping mall can be built. At that time, it was decided to build tombs for the two queens, with coffins side by side. Cixi was very angry when she saw the throne: "There are two queens buried in the tomb, and even the concubines sleeping in the imperial garden are vouchers. Isn't this a blatant bullying of our sisters? " Ministers had to propose that Baocheng, Baoding and Underground Palace be built side by side in the backyard of the mausoleum, imitating the style of the Double Princess Garden.
Unexpectedly, Cixi forced her to ask, "Are we two dandies? Who says we don't deserve to build a mausoleum alone? " This is another time to break the mausoleum system, but who dares not listen? So Tongzhi 65438+ Tomb-Sweeping Day on the 9th day of March, 18 years old Tongzhi went to Dingling, and after paying homage to Emperor Xianfeng, he came to Pingdingshan and nearby Putuo Mountain to see Feng Shui. On June 5438+05, Pingdingshan was renamed as "Puxiangyu", which is an eternal auspicious place in Ci 'an. Bodhisattva Mountain was changed to "Bodhisattva Valley", which is an eternal auspicious place for Cixi. Shuangling started construction in August of that year and was completed in June of Guangxu five years, which took six years and cost more than five million taels of silver.
The organizational system of Shuangling is the same, but after Ci 'an's death, Cixi had the opportunity to overwhelm Ci 'an. In August, Guangxu 2 1, the guardian minister of Dongling, in order to please Cixi, played on the court and said that Cixi's mausoleum was in urgent need of repair because of years of rain. Cixi appointed the trusted Prince of Qing Dynasty and Rong Lu, the minister of the Ministry of War, as contractors. As a result, all the buildings in the mausoleum have been repaired, and the main hall and the east-west attached hall have been demolished and rebuilt from the original tile-uncovering maintenance! This overhaul project is huge. By the twenty-fifth year of Guangxu, 6.5438+0.5 million yuan had been allocated, and the future funds were a bottomless mystery.
In the middle, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded China and stopped the project. After Cixi returned to Beijing, she came to the construction site again to see for herself. 1908 18 years 10/8 years, after 13 years of reconstruction, the project was finally completed (coincidentally, Cixi died four days later). Only three halls use 4592 Liang! The single stone in the mausoleum is carved by high relief and through carving technology, with the pattern "Dragon in the bottom, Phoenix in the top". Around Long 'en Temple, 69 white marble slabs are carved with "Phoenix attracts dragons to chase" everywhere, and 74 watchheads break the historical format of one dragon and one phoenix, all of which are "one phoenix presses two dragons", suggesting that she hangs curtains twice. ?
