Where is the graveyard of Empress Dowager Cixi?

The cemetery of Empress Dowager Cixi is located in Putuo Valley, west of the southern foot of Changrui Mountain in zunhua city, Hebei Province, 5 meters east of Yuling Princess Garden, and only separated from Puxiang Valley Dingdong Mausoleum (the mausoleum of Empress Dowager Ci 'an) in the west by a manger ditch. He died in Yiluan Hall in 198.

Dingdong Mausoleum in Putuo Valley is the tomb of Empress Xiaoqinxian (Empress Dowager Cixi), Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty. Because it is located in the east of Dingling of Emperor Xianfeng, it is collectively called Dingdong Mausoleum.

In p>198, Emperor Guangxu died, and Cixi chose three-year-old Puyi as the new emperor. Today, she was honored as the Empress Dowager, and died at Yiluan Hall at 17: the next day (not exactly three minutes later) and was buried in Dingdong Mausoleum, Putuo Valley.

The tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi was in Tomb-Sweeping Day on the ninth day of March in the twelfth year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1873). The Tongzhi emperor personally surveyed the geomantic omen, and on the 15th, Pingdingshan was changed to Puxiangyu as the tomb of Empress Dowager Ci 'an, while Putuo Mountain was renamed Putuoyu as the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi. The two tombs were designed and built by Lei Tingchang, the seventh generation, and at the same time in August of that year. It took six years and cost more than five million yuan. In the 21st year of Guangxu (1895), Cixi Mausoleum was rebuilt again, and the project lasted thirteen years and was completed on October 18th, 198.

Sun Dianying stole Dongling

In June p>1928, the National Revolutionary Army succeeded in its second northern expedition. At that time, Sun Dianying came to the Mashen Bridge in Jixian County, which is just a mountain away from the Qing Dongling. At that time, there was a habitual bandit, Ma Futian, who found out that Dongling area was unguarded and went to Dongling with other gangsters to steal treasures. Sun Dianying heard the news, seized this opportunity, mobilized a group of troops, drove to Malanyu, blocked the Dongling in Malanyu in the name of military exercises, defeated the horse bandits, put Dongling under martial law within three miles, and dug Dongling conveniently.

in early July, in the name of laying mines in military exercises, the Ministry of Sun Dianying drove away all the tomb guards, blocked the pass, imposed martial law, and looted the Yuling in Qianlong and the Dingdong Mausoleum in Putuoyu in Cixi. Due to the tight blockade, although there are rumors outside, the truth is unknown. On the third day of stealing the mausoleum, Tan Wenjiang went to Beiping to pay an audience with Xu Yuanquan, commander-in-chief of the Sixth Army Corps, to spy out the limelight. When he saw that it was calm, he immediately returned to Dongling the next day and let go of the excavation.

Before robbing the tomb, Sun Dianying wrote to the governor of Zunhua County, asking Zunhua County to hire more than 3 mules and horses on behalf of him, on the grounds that he was considerate of the local sufferings and could not bear to raise food on the spot, so as to transport rations from other places. In this way, Sun Dianying paved the way for the transshipment of tomb-robbing treasures.
