1928, Sun Dianying, commander of the 12th Kuomintang Army (hereinafter referred to as "Dongling thief") planned a theft in Dongling in the name of "beating bandits", stealing the Yuling of Emperor Qianlong and the Ding Dong Mausoleum of Empress Dowager Cixi, which was the first time that the imperial tomb of the Qing Dynasty was stolen. 1938, a group of unidentified armed men stole chongling of Guangxu in Xiqing Mausoleum, and chongling was the only imperial tomb stolen in Xiqing Mausoleum. 1945, the captain of the intelligence team of Jidong Military Region 15 Army Division, which belongs to the pseudo-Jidong defense autonomous government, and Wang, Mu Shuxuan, Jia Zhengguo, Zhao, Liu En, Liu and others blatantly began to rob the tomb.
It is also the imperial tomb. Why are so many tombs of the Qing Dynasty stolen? All the Ming Tombs have been preserved? Is it really Qing Di's personality problem? First, the Ming Tombs are near Gyeonggi, and the Qing Tombs are in the wild area. The Ming Tombs are located by two sacred emperors: Zhu Yuanzhang and Judy. The same characteristics of the two men are: the imperial tomb is not only good in geomantic omen, but also can be used as a military base to guard the capital in wartime. Therefore, the Xiaoling Mausoleum is in Zijin Mountain and the Ming Tombs are in Tianshou Mountain. At the feet of the son of heaven. Every day I bow my head and don't look up. Hiding and stealing are difficult. (Take Sun Dianying's grave robbery case as an example. If Pockmarked Sun is conducting military exercises in the Ming Tombs or the Ming Tombs, why not try it? )
The location of the Ming Tombs is not so particular. Jurchen is a mobile regime, so you can choose where you want, unlike the Han people. Therefore, the Three Mausoleums outside the Commissioner are in Shenyang, Dongling is in Zunhua and Xiling is in Baoding. The location of the imperial tombs around the country only cares about good feng shui (it seems that the three tombs outside the customs don't even care about feng shui! ), so that the tomb site is in the middle of nowhere, giving the grave robbers an opportunity.
Later, Cixi specially built a railway to pay homage to the mausoleum. It is conceivable how dreamy the site selection of this mausoleum is ... Secondly, the underground structure of the Ming Tomb is more burglarproof, and the level of the Qing Mausoleum project is worrying.
Take the Ming Tombs as an example, there are 27 meters of sealed soil and rammed soil, and I'm afraid other Ming Tombs are stricter. How many meters is the Qingling Mausoleum? 9 meters away, some Qingling tombs may be lax; In contrast, the tomb of the Qing Dynasty was an out-and-out shallow burial. The top floor of the Ming Tombs is difficult to dig, and dozens of villagers in Qingling will open soon.
In fact, compared with Han tombs, there are more or less engineering quality problems in the tombs of minority regimes. This is obvious from the depth of the underground palace, drainage system and building materials. Among the imperial tombs of past dynasties, the Tang mausoleum is the strongest, followed by the Ming mausoleum. If compared at the same level of productivity, the building quality of Qingling Mausoleum is even inferior to that of Xixia Mausoleum and Northern Wei Mausoleum, so it is not surprising that every thief will lose. As the Ming Dynasty was the last unified Han Dynasty and Zhu Yuanzhang was a national hero who ended foreign rule, the Ming Tombs became the most convenient political mouthpiece.
When Hong Xiuquan entered Nanjing, the first thing he did was climb to the door of Zhu Yuanzhang's Xiaoling Mausoleum. Zhangkou is a "black sheep", positioning himself as the successor of the Han people. Sun Yat-sen made his capital in Nanjing and paid three visits to Xiaoling Mausoleum, emphasizing his determination to "expel Tatars".
Therefore, since the Ming Dynasty, people have regarded the Ming Tombs as a tool to show their political inclination and to protect and repair them. The official attitude is the fundamental reason why the Ming Tombs have been preserved to this day. No one dared to touch the Ming Tombs in Qing Dynasty. After all, after the Qing dynasty entered the customs, it was an inheritance relationship to say that I took over the world on behalf of the Ming dynasty. I have to "protect" and "repair" what I can't get rid of. Even if you are short of money, you just scrape a few pieces of wood outside and dare not move inside. The emperor's mausoleum was strictly protected in every dynasty and generation, but the grave robbery in Qing Dynasty had a great relationship with the social thought at that time. After the Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains as a minority regime, many Han Chinese have been hostile to the Qing Dynasty. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty became the target of public criticism by betraying the country for peace and ceding land for compensation. After the demise of the Qing Dynasty, Manchu nobles began to be excluded.
Moreover, many people witnessed the burial of the emperor and queen in the late Qing Dynasty. Maybe the designers, drawings and workers are still alive. Pull it out and you'll know how to dig. What's in it and how much it costs are clear at a glance. Maybe you saw the burial of Cixi Guangxu in the year of tomb robbery. Don't steal. Who did you steal?
Of course, nationalism is still a bit. There is a poem to prove it: Jin Ge's iron horse entered Dongling, and a strong man killed the demon. Li Hong's dog hangs a green tree, and Cixi's dog carcasses feed the goshawk. Expulsion of Tatars to China and elimination of mites. I'm still talking about China and archaeology such as Sun Dianying. Sun Dianying, the principal criminal who excavated the tomb of Dongqing, claimed in his defense: I am worthy of my ancestors and my compatriots. Is to excuse yourself with the social contradictions at that time.
