During the Republic of China period, the armed forces in various parts of China were relatively chaotic, the large ones were like warlords everywhere, and the small ones also had bandits who occupied the mountains as kings, and when the country was in danger, they did not think about how to unite to resist foreign enemies, but how to exchange the weapons in their hands for more interests and spheres of influence. Sun Dianying was one of them, from bandits to warlords to being absorbed by the Nationalist government army, he never found the opportunity to really show his skills, until he found a twist in the Qing Dynasty, and since then he has left a notorious impression in the minds of the people of the whole country.
As we all know, after the death of successive emperors, they will be buried in the royal mausoleum, and a large number of burial items will be placed in their cemeteries, and the Qing Dongling Tomb is such a royal mausoleum, which houses more than a dozen Qing emperors, including Empress Dowager Cixi. Because there have always been a large number of tomb keepers stationed in the area, they have always been well guarded, and no one dares to attack the idea of the cemetery inside.
Until 1928, Sun Dianying, who was passing by this place, was attracted by its solemn and exquisite appearance, coupled with the frequent civil wars at that time, no one paid attention to this mausoleum, so he had the idea of robbing the tomb. At that time, although he was a military commander in the national army sequence, he was not a concubine in the Nationalist government army, and even the military salary, equipment, etc. needed to be solved by themselves, in order to be able to make a windfall, a tomb robbery operation without moral integrity began under the command of Sun Dianying.
Without the relevant experience and means of tomb robbery, this unit used gunpowder to blow up the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi and the mausoleum of the Qianlong Emperor. Not to mention how much damage this will cause to the cultural relics inside, just the various types of calligraphy and paintings, antiques, gold and silver porcelain and other cultural relics pulled out of it, they used 30 large carts to transport three days and nights. Later, the Manchu Qing widows who learned of this news were furious and found Lao Jiang to file a complaint, demanding that the shameless behavior of the tomb robbers be severely punished.
Although the National Government acted righteously, it finally put an end to the matter, not only did not severely punish the culprit, but also promoted and reused it, and it is said that all kinds of property were indispensable to the movement and dotting. It was not until the liberation war that the tomb robbers were imprisoned and reformed until their deaths. Although he left many stains and insults in his life, his son became a very useful and contributing person to society.
He was Sun Tianyi, and three years had passed since the Qing Tomb Incident at the time of his birth, so he didn't know much about it. Compared with the battlefield, he prefers the language discipline, graduated from college and became a college educator, did a lot of translation work to promote Chinese civilization, and also cultivated a lot of outstanding talents. In addition, he is also the president of the Yellow Emperor Mausoleum Foundation, and has done a lot of work and contribution to raising funds to repair the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum. Compared with his father's tomb robbery, this kind of tomb keeping behavior is simply the opposite, which shows that the size of a person's pattern depends on the level of education received.
