Why did Li Lianying ask Cixi to take out the most important tomb treasure from the golden well in the underground palace?
The golden well is the core of the entire tomb. Before building this mausoleum, the first thing to determine was the golden well, which is the dragon's lair. Cixi's favorite item is the "Dongzhu" bracelet, which is called Tana in Manchu.
In the Qing Dynasty, private use of pearls was prohibited. The Dongzhu used by Cixi is also called Zhengzhu. It is produced in Sanjiang (Heilongjiang, Songhua River, and Wusuli River). It can only be used by the royal family. The emperor and concubines of the Qing Dynasty liked it very much. Cixi liked this bracelet very much during her lifetime, and kept it with her for a long time, wearing it every day. No matter who you are, if you take something with you every day, you will have feelings, and so does Cixi.
In ancient traditional funerals, people have always believed that people should be as rich and noble after death as they were before life. Therefore, after death, they will prepare jewelry, porcelain and other burial objects for themselves. Of course, the Empress Dowager Cixi was no exception. After the imperial mausoleum was built, she took her favorite beads as a burial object, and as a treasure to suppress the tomb, she personally threw the string of beads into the golden well in the mausoleum. among.
The Empress Dowager Cixi was capricious. This bracelet accompanied her to various noble occasions and was also a display of status. When attending events and seeing her show off her dignity, she would feel uncomfortable in her hands without beads, and if she had anything else, she would feel uncomfortable. It's like feeling uncomfortable when you lose something you're used to and suddenly lose it. As Cixi's close eunuch, Li Lianying was highly regarded by the Empress Dowager. Having followed the Empress Dowager Cixi for many years, she must know how to observe her words. After Cixi had the idea, Li Lianying took the Ministry of Internal Affairs to the golden well of the Empress Dowager Cixi's mausoleum to retrieve the string of beads, and then gave them to the Empress Dowager Cixi.
