The Qianlong Emperor, as we all know, was an emperor who liked to be poor and extravagant, and in the first half of his life, he may have relied on the capital handed down from his father to create a prosperous world, but in the second half of his life, Qianlong can already be said to be a dimwitted monarch.
The Qianlong Emperor likes all kinds of rare treasures the most, and the collections in his tomb are also rich, ordinary objects, where to get the eyes of the Qianlong Emperor, in his mausoleum, there is no shortage of treasures, even if it is an ordinary shroud, it will have special value, not to mention, this shroud is actually unusual.
In 1928, Sun Dianying took advantage of the chaos in Beijing, he was also sent to the Qing Dongling near the opportunity to suppress bandits, took the opportunity to dig up the Qing Dongling Tombs one over and over again, Sun Dianying's history of stealing tombs, presumably known to a wide range, it is precisely because Sun Dianying excavated the tomb of the Qianlong Emperor, which has the reappearance of the Qianlong Emperor's shroud.
This shroud of the Qianlong Emperor, like the one of Cixi, was not taken away by Sun Dianying at the beginning, and Sun Dianying really did not know the treasure, although these two shrouds were not ordinary objects, but they were missed by Sun Dianying.
After Sun Dianying robbed the tomb, Puyi immediately sent the Manchu Qing relics to the Qing Dongling To see if he could clean up the mess, that is, the Manchu Qing relics who rushed to the tomb not only moved the scattered Cixi Mausoleum back, but also took away some precious objects in the mausoleum, including this shroud.
How valuable is this shroud?
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, this Piece of Qianlong Shroud saw the light of day, auctioned out the price of 80,000 yuan, of course, even if only 80,000 yuan was auctioned, still no one was moved, basically to the point of streaming, fortunately, in the end someone could not bear it, the shroud was photographed, at this time, this shroud was already 90,000 yuan.
Three years later, at another auction, the shroud appeared again, and today, unlike in the past, the shroud has been sold for 70 million.
In the same year, the shroud was auctioned off again, and this time, the shroud had already fetched a price of 1.3 billion.
Why is a simple shroud so valuable?
The Shroud of the Qianlong Emperor, in fact, it is more appropriate to call it the Dravidian Sutra, the piece of the Dravidian Sutra covered by the Qianlong Emperor, there are only two pieces in the world, and the other piece is in the tomb of Cixi, which is also auctioned for a sky-high price.
In addition to the preciousness of this Dravidian sutra, the owner of the Dravidian sutra has added a lot of glory to this shroud, although the Qianlong Emperor is considered to be the culprit who led to the decline of the Qing Dynasty, but the qianlong emperor's fame is still there, and this Piece of the Dravidian sutra is naturally the same, covering the corpse of the Qianlong Emperor, and the value is naturally immeasurable.
Secondly, the production process of this Dravidian quilt is extremely complex, and even if you do not look at its owner, this Dravidian quilt itself is of extraordinary value.
The main material called the quilt is the tibetan antelope wool and gold wire, from the material alone, this piece of Dravidian quilt is worth thousands of gold, not to mention that this quilt uses a long-lost silk process, and now, even if it is imitated, it cannot be made.
In addition, the quilt was embroidered with Buddhist Sanskrit, and after the finished product, it was even more necessary to ask the high monks of Xinjiang to personally open the quilt, so that after the death of the emperor, they would be free from evil spirits and could occupy a place in the Yan Luo Hall.
Whether it is from the point of view of the material, or from the production process, or the meaning of the Dravidian quilt itself, the owner of the Use of the Dravidian Quilt can see that the value of this quilt will never be low, and the sky-high price of one point of three hundred million yuan was auctioned at that time, and now it can only be ten times or even higher than in the past.
