Why were none of the imperial tombs of the Ming Dynasty stolen, but none of the imperial tombs of the Qing Dynasty were spared?

There are three reasons: differences in site selection, differences in protection measures, and differences in tomb structure. In ancient times, imperial power was supreme, so both emperors and other people with imperial power enjoyed glory and wealth during their lifetimes, and this was no exception after their deaths. Their tombs were all magnificently built, and the burial objects were extremely luxurious, so the imperial mausoleums have always been They are all objects of spying by tomb robbers. Speaking of the imperial mausoleums that are the focus of tomb robbers, we have to mention the imperial mausoleums of the Qing Dynasty. It can be said that all the imperial mausoleums of the Qing Dynasty were spared, and basically all were stolen. In addition, the bones in some imperial mausoleums were thrown everywhere, but interestingly It was the previous dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, but few were stolen during the Ming Dynasty. Why is this? The locations of the imperial tombs are different

Let’s first explain the imperial tombs of the Ming Dynasty. There are two imperial tombs in the Ming Dynasty. The first is located in Beijing (Ming Tombs) and the second is located in Nanjing. (Ming Dynasty Imperial Tombs), so these two imperial tombs are all in the bustling downtown area, and there are naturally patrols in the downtown area, so this also increases the difficulty of tomb robbery, so the Ming Dynasty imperial tombs can be well preserved. The imperial mausoleums of the Qing Dynasty are just the opposite. There are three places for the imperial mausoleums of the Qing Dynasty. The first is the ancestral tomb outside Guanwai, the second is the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty, and the third is the Western Tomb of the Qing Dynasty. All three places are in the wilderness, so This also allowed tomb robbers to take advantage of the loopholes, making it easier for them to hide when robbing tombs. Therefore, this became one of the reasons why the imperial tombs of the Qing Dynasty were stolen. The protection measures are different from those of the era

Since the construction of the Ming Dynasty imperial tombs, people have strictly guarded them. After the emperor was buried, the court sent people to guard the tombs. If any tomb robbers were found, they would be sentenced to death. . Although the Qing Dynasty also had people dedicated to guarding tombs, by the end of the Qing Dynasty, the entire Qing Dynasty was in panic. Later, the Qing Dynasty fell, and the Republic of China was unable to control public opinion, which led to many people trying to rob tombs and make a fortune. Due to the terrain of the Qing Dynasty imperial mausoleums, they naturally became tomb robbers. This is the place that I miss the most, so no one in the Qing imperial mausoleum was spared. The layout of the tomb chambers is different

The reason why the Ming Dynasty imperial tombs were not stolen is that the Ming Dynasty imperial tombs have many mechanisms, and even the tomb chamber doors are built to be extremely concealed. Therefore, if the tomb robbers are not familiar with the tomb chamber layout, even if they enter Everyone will definitely die, so many tomb robbers are afraid of the Ming Emperor's Tomb. The imperial tombs of the Qing Dynasty were much simpler in comparison, so Sun Dianying used explosives to easily blow open the door of the tomb and robbed everything inside.
