The female corpse of the Qing Dynasty has good elasticity and seems to have just woken up.
Have you ever seen a woman with a well-preserved body, buried in a dragon robe like the emperor?It's not that we're alone, it's that the world is so big that there's nothing strange about it. A serendipitous discovery in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, revealed an astonishing fact: a farmer in the city found a well-preserved female corpse while working, and she was buried in a dragon robe, which is a very rare phenomenon in history.
When archaeologists arrived at the scene, they were shocked to find that there was a magnificent Qing Dynasty tomb hidden here. When they carefully opened the coffin in the tomb, they were even more stunned.
In that old coffin, a woman wearing a golden silk dragon robe lay quietly. She wore a red gold phoenix crown inlaid with precious stones on her head, and a golden silk dragon robe decorated with pearls.
The jewelry placed around is brightly colored and invaluable. Especially the golden silk dragon robe, there are countless pearls on it, and each one is full and round. According to archaeologists' estimates, this dragon robe alone is worth hundreds of millions of yuan.
Experts deduce that the tomb is 240 years old. However, after all this time, her body not only did not decompose, but was also elastic and shiny, and it looked as if she had just fallen asleep.
You must be curious, who is this woman?Why did she wear a dragon robe and be buried after she died?And the body has not decomposed for more than 240 yearsLet Uncle Chai take you to uncover this mystery together.
Fifty years ago, a farmer in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia, was working in the fields when he accidentally excavated an ancient tomb, the owner of which wore a phoenix crown and a dragon robe, showing his noble status.
The old farmer immediately reported the matter to the local cultural relics bureau, and the archaeological experts heard the news. After preliminary investigation, it was found that the tomb is located in the Ministry of Bahrain, covering an area of more than 5,000 square meters, with a width of 45 meters from east to west and a length of 105 meters from north to south.
Surprisingly, there are also side halls on both sides of the cemetery.
This huge scale undoubtedly demonstrates the extraordinary identity of the owner of the tomb. As a result, experts decided to work together to launch a salvage excavation to uncover the mystery of the tomb.
After an in-depth investigation, experts found that there were multiple robbery holes of different sizes in the tomb, and the interior of the tomb was also seriously damaged, leaving only a few pieces of porcelain scattered on the ground, apparently the cultural relics in the tomb had been looted by thieves.
Experts have been trying to uncover the coffin of the tomb owner and explore the treasures within. However, after many searches, nothing was found, which makes one wonder if the coffin of the owner of the tomb was stolen.
Just when everyone was puzzled and disappointed, an expert suddenly discovered that there was a wall behind the tomb. He approached and pushed it gently, but unexpectedly the wall was pushed open, revealing a small burial chamber with a coffin.
The experts were thrilled by the discovery, which turned out to be an elaborate chamber designed to protect against tomb robbers. Seeing this mysterious and well-preserved secret room, experts can't wait to know the identity of the tomb's owner.
As the coffin opened, the experts were stunned by what they saw, and it turned out that what was inside was beyond their imagination.
The owner of the tomb wore a phoenix crown on his head and a dragon robe inlaid with pearls, and the pearls were round and full and dazzling. The dragon robe was embroidered with eight golden dragons, which was slightly inferior to the nine golden dragons on the emperor's dragon robe.
These golden dragons are all woven with gold thread and pearls. Experts estimate that there are about 100,000 of these pearls, which are almost the same size and shape, and are the finest pearls in the coastal area.
The owner of the tomb is surrounded by treasures of various colors, which is dazzling. Through the flag dress placed next to the hostess, experts speculate that she was a Qing Dynasty woman. However, generally only the emperor is eligible to wear the dragon robe.
Who is this woman buried in a dragon robe? What kind of noble status does she have? Experts found the epitaph of the tomb owner next to the tomb. After checking the information, they determined that she was Princess Gulun Rongxian of the Qing Dynasty and the favorite daughter of Emperor Kangxi.
How much did Emperor Kangxi love Princess Gulun Rongxian so much that he allowed her to be buried in a dragon robe.
Among the many harem beauties, she was the first to be favored by Kangxi and was titled.
Princess Gulun Rongxian is the beloved daughter of Emperor Kangxi, because the two sisters above died unfortunately, she became her father's most beloved eldest daughter.
Concubine Rong is Kangxi's most beloved woman. Of her six children, five sons died young, and only her daughter, Princess Rongxian, survived. Concubine Rong's loss of a child made her depressed and made Kangxi's heart ache.
Out of his love for Concubine Rong, he was particularly fond of Princess Rongxian. Princess Rongxian is smart, beautiful and lovely, good at poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is unique among Kangxi's many children, with outstanding talent and appearance.
Children are the precious wealth of parents, and Princess Rongxian is deeply loved by Kangxi because of her smart and empathetic character. He once proudly said, "Of all the princesses, only you are the best." ”
Even if Concubine Rong fell out of favor due to old age, Princess Rongxian's position in Kangxi's heart was still solid. She is like a gentle flower, she knows how to comfort her father's sorrow in various ways at a young age, and skillfully dissolves the estrangement between father and son, which makes Kangxi feel extremely gratified.
When Princess Rongxian was 18 years old, Emperor Kangxi canonized her as "Princess Heshuo Rongxian", which was also the first princess in the history of the Qing Dynasty to receive the title. You might be curious about the hierarchy of princesses and geges in the Qing Dynasty, which is divided into eight levels.
Among them, the highest level is "Gu ** Lord", which is the daughter of the emperor and the empress, and the Manchu meaning of "Gu Lun" is "the world". The second level is "Princess Heshuo", which is the daughter of the emperor and his concubine, and "Heshuo" means "place" in Manchu.
It should be pointed out that "Gege" is not a princess, it is a title of a noble lady. However, even princesses cannot stay with their parents for long, and they all need to marry when they grow up.
Even if you are as noble as a princess, you can't avoid the fate of marrying far away. So, who did Princess Rongxian marry later? What about her married life?
Princess Rongxian was born in the emperor's family, shouldering the heavy responsibility of stabilizing the country, and her fate is closely linked to the fate of the country. Half a year after she was enthroned, Kangxi married her to Mongolia, which was a mission of "harmony".
However, even with such a mission, Kangxi is full of special love for Princess Rongxian.
In order to find a good home for his beloved daughter, Emperor Kangxi carefully chose Urgon, a descendant of the Mongolian "** family". Urgon came from a prominent background, his ancestor was the famous Genghis Khan, and his father was Ozir, the king of Zasakdoro County of Bahrain.
In addition, he also had an in-law relationship with Emperor Kangxi's sister, Princess Gulun Shuhui, so he was deeply loved by the emperor. It is said that when Urgon was young, he was tall and burly, not only brave and strong, but also proficient in horseback archery, and led the Mongolian tribes to conquer the Quartet in his 20s, and established great military exploits, and was the "Prince Charming" in the hearts of many Mongolian girls.
These two people who are made in heaven and earth, one is a noble and beautiful princess of the Qing Dynasty, and the other is a brave and strong prince of the grassland. Back then, when Urgon first saw Princess Rongxian, he fell in love with her outstanding beauty and temperament, and no one else has been in sight since then.
On the day Princess Rongxian got married, Emperor Kangxi said to her in front of everyone: "Among my many children, you are the most caring. Today, for the sake of the country, the principle of honoring the constitution is unshirkable.
From now on, you will be close to your mother country, and I hope that you will treat Urgon with respect and dedication, and remember to obey orders, and I am proud of you. ”
In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi attached great importance to the marriage of his daughter Princess Rongxian. He said affectionately to the people who had come to greet the princess: "I am the king of a country, but at this moment I am just an ordinary father.
I hope you will treat her as if she were your own daughter, as a way to express your sincerity to the Qing Dynasty. "After Princess Rongxian married Urgon, Emperor Kangxi immediately named Urgon as Heshuo.
It turns out that Kangxi's vision is very unique, because the Urgon he chose is not only full of warmth for his beloved wife, but also shows great loyalty, helping Princess Rongxian overcome the loneliness and anxiety of marrying away from home.
Although the vastness of Mongolia is very different from the bustle and delicacy of the Forbidden City, Princess Rongxian, who has a cheerful personality and pursues freedom, can quickly blend in.
In the vast grassland, Princess Rongxian and Urgon galloped together, enjoying food and wine, and enjoying themselves. They soon welcomed twin children and lived happily ever after.
Although Princess Rongxian is favored by her father, her abilities should not be underestimated. When a ** in the Ministry of Bahrain violated a civilian woman and tried to get away with it, Princess Rongxian immediately launched an investigation, encouraging the victim to reveal the truth and let the ** get the punishment he deserved.
Even in the face of the arrogant and rude **, Princess Rongxian can remain calm and resolutely uphold justice. After the news spread, Princess Rongxian's ability and decisive handling attracted the respect and praise of the Bahrain Ministry and the people, and she was also recognized by the imperial court.
Urgon was the most outstanding of Kangxi's sons-in-law, he was proficient in politics and military affairs, and often led his armies to fight in the north and south, and was deeply admired by the Mongol army. He performed well in the Battle of Ulan Butong and helped Kangxi achieve a crucial victory against Dzungaria, so he was rewarded and promoted by Kangxi.
Princess Rongxian and Urgon's affection made the family live happily and Kangxi felt gratified. However, both Princess Rongxian and Urgon are very concerned about their distant relatives, how can they break this barrier?
Promoted to the princess of "Gulun", a complete chapter in her life began.
In the feudal society of the Qing Dynasty, the management of princesses was very strict, and it was usually difficult to return to the palace once they were married. However, Princess Yeongxian is an exception. After she got married, Emperor Kangxi missed her very much, and often took time out of his busy schedule to visit his beloved daughter.
It is recorded that they visited each other more than a dozen times during their lifetimes. You must know that among the five daughters of Emperor Kangxi who married into Mongolia, only Princess Rongxian has this privilege, which is enough to see her important position in Kangxi's heart.
In order to allow Kangxi to rest, Urgon specially built a grand palace in the territory, which is also the only palace in the entire Mobei region. Kangxi once wrote a plaque of "Golden Branches Yanqing" in this palace and stayed here twice.
However, even the honorable emperor had his troubles. Shortly after Kangxi abolished the crown prince for the first time, in the forty-seventh year of Kangxi, he suffered from a serious illness.
It turned out that Kangxi has always attached importance to family affection, but his sons staged the tragedy of "Nine Kings Seizing the Inheritance". He was in great pain when he saw them fighting each other for the throne, and he wished that someone would accompany him.
Therefore, he personally issued an edict ordering Princess Rongxian to return to Beijing to visit him. After Princess Rongxian, who was far away in Mongolia, received the order, she rushed to Kangxi's side day and night.
During the more than 40 days in the Forbidden City, Princess Rongxian has been by Kangxi's side, greeting him day after day, and even boiling soup and medicine for him personally. She knows her father's heart disease very well, although she can't interfere in the government affairs, she is always by his side to comfort him with words.
This matter is recorded in detail in the "Records of the Ancestors of the Qing Dynasty". Princess Rongxian's meticulous care of Kangxi deeply touched him. Under her careful care, after Kangxi recovered from her illness, she was crowned "Princess Gulun Rongxian" in the second year.
This is a special honor, because only the daughter of the queen can be named "Gulun". But Princess Rongxian was born to a concubine, but Kangxi surpassed the ancestral system and gave this supreme title.
In the Kangxi Dynasty, there are only five people who have been named the solid ** master, which once again proves the important position of Princess Rongxian in Kangxi's heart. It is worth mentioning that Princess Rongxian was the only one who was canonized by Kangxi when he was alive.
After Princess Rongxian returned to Mongolia, she and Urgon lived a short but beautiful married life. However, the good times are always short-lived. In the fifty-fifth year of Kangxi, Urgon was ordered to conquer Tsewang Alabutan, and Rongxian and Fujun separated again.
Every time Rong Xian sent Urgon out of Ao Bao before he set out on an expedition, he would personally send him out of Aobao. The two presided over the ritual together, praying sincerely for the safe return of all. This flounder is a couple that is deeply in love, which is enviable.
Today, their love story is still told locally. However, this expedition changed the fate of Young-heon. In the fifty-eighth year of Kangxi, Urgon once again conquered Dzungaria, and Rongxian sent him to Aobao again.
I thought he would return safely as before, but unexpectedly, goodbye was forever. In the 60th year of Kangxi, Urgon died of illness due to overwork on the way to the army, at the age of 51.
The 49-year-old Rong Xian didn't see her beloved husband for the last time, which is really a blessing and a disaster. On November 13, 61 years old Kangxi, 69-year-old Kangxi died of illness in Changchun Garden, Beijing.
In just one year, Rong Xian lost her beloved husband and father who loved her, and the loneliness and sadness in her heart can be imagined. After six or seven years of depression, on April 12, the sixth year of Yongzheng, Rong Xian, who had not yet had time to celebrate his 56th birthday, died sadly at the age of 55.
The love story of Princess Rongxian and her husband Urgon has been passed down through history to this day, and their love story is like a magnificent picture. According to records, on August 19, the seventh year of Yongzheng, Lin Bu built a mausoleum for Rong Xian and his wife, and buried the ashes of Rong Xian and Urgon in the underground palace.
At that time, Emperor Yongzheng specially sent ** to the Bahrain Ministry to condole, and held a funeral for Princess Rongxian that far exceeded the specifications. Princess Rongxian was dressed in a dragon robe given by Emperor Kangxi during his lifetime, looking solemn and solemn.
Princess Rongxian couldn't stay with her husband during her lifetime, but the two were buried together after their deaths, which was also a blessing, and let future generations witness the unswerving love between them.
Their love story is like an affectionate poem that makes people sigh.
Exploring the mystery of history: 240 years of the secret of the incorruptibility of the body, the mausoleum built by the Yongzheng Emperor for Princess Gulun Rongxian is unrivaled in scale, and can even be compared with the mausoleums of many emperors.
When Princess Yeongheon's tomb was excavated, it had been buried for more than 240 years, but the princess's body was still well preserved. This can't help but make everyone wonder, how is it done?
After experts explored the surrounding environment, the secret of why the princess's body did not decay for hundreds of years was revealed. It turned out that the climate in Inner Mongolia was dry, with less precipitation throughout the year, and this environment inhibited and prevented the reproduction of bacteria, providing a key factor in the intact preservation of the tombs.
In addition, the princess's coffin is very secretive and completely isolated from the outside world, which enhances the anti-theft factor. And the embalming technology of the corpse of the Qing Dynasty has been quite advanced, although it has been dead for more than 200 years, the body of the princess is not only not rotten, but also the state, hair, and clothing worn on the body have been well preserved.
Knowing the story of the protagonist, we can't help but marvel at the wisdom and mind of the ancients.
This dragon robe is now in the collection of the Chifeng City Museum in Inner Mongolia, and it is a symbol of the Kangxi Emperor's pearl Princess Rongxian who was favored during her lifetime and her glory after her death. ——end—— Author: Yiren Editor: Daniel Lee Recommended previous wonderful articles: At the age of sixteen, he died suddenly, and the secret stinged the whole network: There are many people who love you, go all the way.
