In 1916, Yuan Shikai, known as the "one-man thief" by the literati, died, and China fell into a long period of chaotic warlord division. Sun Dianying is one of the representatives, and the biggest and most famous thing he has done in his life is a "tomb robbery" that is difficult to tell people. In 1928, Sun Dianying was absorbed by the Republic of China government, ostensibly the leader of the regular army, but in fact a bandit leader.
In the same year, when he led the army through the Qing Tombs, he thought that there must be a lot of treasures in it, so he issued an order to rob the tombs, the main targets of the tomb robberies were the Qianlong Tomb and the Cixi Tomb, these two were the representative figures of the Manchu Qing government in the 17th and 18th centuries, and the burial after death was not only large in number but also of high value, Sun Dianying wanted to rely on this tomb robbery to make a windfall.
Sun Dianying's army was very violent in its tomb robbery, they directly blasted a hole with explosives, and then went in to loot. According to legend, when opening Cixi's coffin, they found that Cixi's body was not decaying, but also very elastic, careful observation, it turned out that Cixi contained a night pearl in her mouth, it was this night pearl that made Cixi look ageless, when Sun Dianying asked his subordinates to take down this night pearl, Cixi's body immediately decayed.
Although the authenticity of this matter needs to be verified, the night pearl is real, and it has attracted widespread attention from the upper class during the Republic of China period, and people want to see this magical night pearl, but Sun Dianying has always been hidden at home as a treasure and will not be shown. However, in the end, Sun Dianying still handed over this pearl of night, and he gave this rare treasure to Song Meiling for his own career.
Because Song Meiling's identity and status were too high in the Republic of China period, no one dared to fight the idea of this night pearl anymore, she loved the night pearl, in 1978, when Song Meiling immigrated to the United States, she also took this night pearl with her, and after her death, no one knew the whereabouts of the treasure. In fact, Cixi's night pearl is not large, it is precisely because these stories give it far more than its own value, in the 21st century, China also found a large night pearl that is more than 100 times larger than that.
The discoverer is called Zhao Sheliang, this person was once a contractor at the Shaanxi construction site, in the process of development, often can dig up some rare antiques, slowly, Zhao Sheliang became very interested in the antiques buried deep underneath. In 2004, Zhao Sheliang encountered trouble at work, and the funds could not be run, so he wondered whether he could rely on the sale of antiques to solve the crisis. After much deliberation, Zhao Sheliang decided to go on a treasure hunt near Lop Nur, where he was convinced that he already had the treasure he wanted.
The ideal is very full, but the reality is very bone, and he has not found a valuable treasure. Zhao Sheliang did not give up, he went all the way to the west, to Xinjiang. In Xinjiang, Zhao Sheliang contracted a mine, thinking that if he really couldn't dig it, he would rely on mining to earn money to offset the capital. What surprised Zhao Sheliang was that the workers of the mine really dug out the treasure in the process of mining, which was a piece of jade that could glow, and it weighed 6 tons, and the ecstatic Zhao Sheliang immediately found a professional to identify, and the other party told him that this was a rare night pearl.
Zhao Sheliang also found a professional jade worker to polish this night pearl, and finally presented to everyone was a large night pearl that was green throughout and could shine in the dark, estimated to reach 2.6 billion. However, for such a high-value baby, it is often priceless. Zhao Sheliang originally wanted to raise the price, but in the end it was too high and no one cared, and now this pearl of night has been given to Yuhuangding Park as an exhibit, so as to continuously charge exhibition fees.
And this large night pearl has become the treasure of the park, every day there will be a large number of tourists to come to see this night pearl, so that some people ridicule, this night pearl is properly the night park street lamp.
