In that chaotic era, a ruffian hooligan named Sun Dianying was born and made a living stealing the Qing Dongling. His fame was thunderous and he was known as the "King of Tomb Robbers".
Sun Dianying was originally weak, but in order to survive, he actually formed a team by himself. In 1928, he took refuge with Chiang Kai-shek and was given military assignments, which included a mission to the vicinity of the Qing Dynasty's Eastern Tombs.
It was Chiang Kai-shek's assignment that created his courageous determination to deal with the Qing Dongling.
In the tense military environment, Sun Dianying secretly stole the Qing Dongling under the guise of "military exercises".
His target was on the three mausoleums of "Cixi Dongling, Qianlong Yuling, and Kangxi Jingling".
However, among the three mausoleums, Kangxi's mausoleum survived, and only the tombs of Qianlong and Cixi were captured.
In the process of stealing Qianlong's tomb, everything seems to be going smoothly, until the last door is closed ......However, at this time, the tomb robbers discovered the hidden location of the back door of Qianlong's mausoleum, and they had to use bombing to open the door. Surprisingly, behind the door turned out to be the mausoleum of Emperor Qianlong.
Sun Dianying was only briefly surprised by this discovery, and then began to greedily loot for treasures. After opening the Qianlong Mausoleum, the first thing they saw was a large number of calligraphy and paintings. These calligraphy and paintings are all priceless, however, due to the ignorance of Sun Dianying and his subordinates, they destroyed many precious famous paintings in the process of robbing the tomb.
In addition to all kinds of precious calligraphy and paintings, there are also all kinds of exquisite jade, gold and silver jewelry and rare treasures.
Among them, there are three main treasures. The first is a string of court beads around the neck of Emperor Qianlong, a total of one hundred and eight, of which there are four large beads. The incident was reported in major newspapers at the time, causing a national shock, and people demanded that Sun Dianying be severely punished.
In order to curry favor with Dai Li, Sun Dianying gave him two of the court beads as a meeting gift, and asked Commissioner Jiang to bear with him. Today, the string is incomplete, and it is said that some of them are now on display in the National Palace Museum in Taipei.
The second is ** yellow beads, which is said to have been held in Qianlong's mouth, which can make the corpse not rot.
However, the tomb robbers only valued gold, silver and jewelry, and did not care about the yellow beads. snatched the ** yellow pearl in Qianlong's mouth, removed Qianlong's brain, and smashed his teeth, Sun Dianying and others made outrageous moves.
After their plunder, the whereabouts of the ** yellow beads remain a mystery to this day. The Nine Dragons Sword that accompanied Qianlong's burial, the scabbard was inlaid with red sapphires and diamonds, and the hilt was engraved with nine dragons.
However, it is unbelievable that the truly precious treasures of the Qianlong Mausoleum are not the above-mentioned items. The most precious thing that Sun Dianying and others lost was the shroud on Qianlong's body. They removed the pearls from it, leaving only a piece of shame to cover Qianlong's body.
Sun Dianying and those thieves never realized that what they did was actually a "buying and returning pearls". That shroud is not an ordinary fabric, but a dhara quilt with **.
The Dhara Sutra Quilt, commonly known as the "Death Quilt", is woven by the living Buddhas with the tail hair of a Tibetan antelope. Tibetan antelope tail hair is extremely scarce, is an extremely precious material, the production of Qianlong's dharani quilt, actually used tens of thousands of Tibetan antelope tail hair. The old minister's house was leisurely and peaceful, and a valuable scripture was placed in the corner. He recognized the preciousness of the collection and decided to keep it.
Because of this, this Sutra is still well preserved today. Although this collection is small, it contains profound historical significance, as if telling the story of the Qianlong period, and people can't help but sigh at the vicissitudes of history. This quilt may be a memory of the Qianlong era, recording the glory and glory of an emperor.
In the 2008 auction, a citizen bought the quilt for a staggering 65.5 million. The ** that was identified soared and caused a sensation, and there is no similar product on the market.
At first, no one cared about it, but this item, known as the "yellow satin robe of the late Qing Dynasty", was unveiled again at the auction in 2005 with an auction price of 80,000 yuan, but no one cared about it. However, Mr. Qin's interest was piqued and he was eventually auctioned for 90,000 yuan.
Mr. Qin is a collector, and when he first saw this robe, he always felt that there must be a secret inside. He found it full of delicate patterns and words.
Mr. Qin sent it to the Palace Museum to ask the authoritative expert Zhang Shufen to appraise it, because Zhang Shufen had only seen the record of the dharani sutra used by the emperor in the "Great Qing Huidian", so he hired other experts to assist in the identification.
It was finally confirmed that this was the dharani sutra quilt worn by Emperor Qianlong.
In 2010, a man at the Sino-American Hongkaiwei auction for 1300 million yuan of ** successfully bid for the ownership of this scripture.
After that, this sutra finally found a stable home. Interestingly, the piece was later put back at auction by a new owner.
