Why was Empress Dowager Cixi chased to the tomb by Sun Dianying, who destroyed the coffin and whipped the body***?
The Qing Dynasty operated in China for nearly three hundred years and accumulated endless treasures. The emperors of the Qing Dynasty who believed deeply in the art of Feng Shui and reincarnation brought countless rare treasures into their mausoleums. Among them, the most luxurious burial objects were Cixi. This emperor was arrogant and extravagant in his youth. All kinds of luxury.

The Tomb of Cixi is located in Changrui Mountain in the northwest of Zunhua City, Hebei Province. From the Feng Shui point of view of the location of the tomb, it can be said that this is a place where wind and water rise and dragons thrive. Although the feng shui is excellent, as the feng shui turns, Cixi's tomb cannot escape the bad luck of being stolen.
The anti-theft measures of the emperor's tomb must be absolutely foolproof, and it is difficult for ordinary tomb thieves to enter the mausoleum palace. After Cixi was buried in 1908, and with the demise of the Qing monarchy, countless petty tomb thieves gathered in Changrui Mountain, Zunhua, and coveted the billions of treasures in the tomb of Cixi's mausoleum. However, until 1928, these thieves were empty-handed and found nothing.
With the advent of the warlord era, the good luck of Cixi's Tomb also came to an end. At that time, the great warlord Sun Dianying was entrenched in Hebei. Due to lack of military pay, he repeatedly asked Chiang Kai-shek for help. However, Chiang believed that Sun's troops were a ragtag army, so he refused Sun's offer perfunctorily. As a military hegemon, Sun Dianying had no military pay and his military morale was unstable. At this time, a counselor told Sun that he was sitting on hundreds of millions in property without knowing it. Sun was ignorant. The counselor revealed that Cixi's tomb was within the area where the army was stationed. Sun Dianying then came up with the idea of robbing the Dongling Tomb.

Sun Dianying used military exercises as a guise to march his troops into Cixi's tomb area. After all the efforts, Sun Dianying finally succeeded under the guidance of the local old banner people. Next, he used explosives to blow open the sealing stone of the mausoleum, so he could enter the mausoleum palace and take away the wealth of the country. According to the "Notes of Ai Yuexuan" written by Cixi's eunuch Li Lianying, after her death, Cixi wore pearls as big as chicken eggs on her head. Her burial items included 108 gold, gem, and jade Buddhas, as well as 700 jade Arhats, horses, etc. There are many remaining pieces and countless treasures. It was these priceless burial jewels that caused Cixi to die with her eyes closed.
Sun Dianying did not let go of the emperor who had been dead for 20 years while stealing Cixi's secrets, and destroyed his coffin and whipped his corpse***. As for the reason, since the person involved is dead, there is no way to verify it.

According to records, 20 days after the robbery, Aisin Gioro descendants Zai Ze and others discovered that when they went to collect Ci Xi’s body, they found that Ci Xi’s body was covered with vagina , the hands are covered with white hair, but fortunately the body skeleton is intact. Zai Ze and others brought Ci Xi back into the museum and sealed the tomb. A coffin of rare treasures gathers not the luck of reincarnation, but the catastrophic disaster after death. A generation of emperors cannot escape the bad luck of breaking the coffin and dumping the body.
In 1984, when the National Archaeological Team was excavating the Qingdong Mausoleum, Cixi remained in the coffin as she did when she was sealed for the second time in 1928. The National Archaeological Team embalmed her skeleton and coffin. Today, Cixi is still lying quietly in her mausoleum.
