The tomb sites of successive emperors are the coveted objects of tomb robbers, and they are also the cultural relics protected by the state, so in order to protect cultural relics, the state generally does not take the initiative to excavate the imperial tombs, unless it is a last resort, that is to say, in the case of the destruction or excavation of the imperial tombs, rescue excavations are carried out.
Successive emperors have had some marks in history, some emperors have also done a lot of work, established merits for the Chinese nation, such emperors have a relatively large influence in history, and people in later generations can comment on his merits and faults from different angles, but there is no need to excavate the tomb of the emperor.
These people have been dead for many years, and the burial goods have basically been looted by successive generations of tomb robbers, and if they are lucky not to be stolen, they should be protected to avoid the destruction of these historical relics.
There have been lessons in this regard, some ancient mausoleums have been excavated, the cultural relics inside are brightly colored, almost like new, but because the technology is not good, as soon as the air enters the tomb, those bright and dazzling colors instantly become mottled, and some of the fruits in the cemetery are the same as fresh, but because the air enters it immediately decays, and even the reporter does not even take a photo to all decay.
Moreover, even the stolen imperial tombs may not have tourism value, many imperial tombs have been looted, there is no valuable cultural relics, the loss of tourism value, and the ancient imperial tombs are old underground buildings, often appear water leakage phenomenon, if excavated to pump water, but also maintenance, otherwise can not be opened.
There is another reason, there are still many descendants of the imperial family of the Qing Dynasty, and the easy excavation of the tombs of the Emperors of the Qing Dynasty is also emotionally harmful to these people. In 1928, the great thief Sun Dianying dug up the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi and the tomb of Qianlong in the name of exercises, looted the burial goods, and destroyed the remains of the owner of the tomb.
Puyi assigned someone to go to the stolen mausoleum to re-bury the body of the destroyed tomb owner, and Sun Dianying's theft of the tomb had a very bad impact at home and abroad, but it was a war-torn era, and Sun Dianying bribed the dignitaries with the stolen treasures to escape punishment.
Specific to Kangxi's tombs, the kangxi emperor's mausoleum has been stolen, valuable burial items have been looted, and due to the serious water leakage in the underground palace, there are no conditions for excavation, cleaning and opening. If the excavation first has to drain the water, but also to find the cause of water leakage, treatment, and carry out the necessary maintenance every year, these are very large expenses, and there are no valuable exhibits in the underground palace, there will be no tourists to visit.
In addition, the Kangxi Emperor was a monarch who contributed to the Chinese nation, laid the foundation for the territory of modern China in history, and also played a role in safeguarding national sovereignty in foreign wars, safeguarding the country's territorial sovereignty through the Treaty of Nebuchadnezzar. It is okay to make a historically objective evaluation of such an accomplished emperor, but his mausoleum has no development value and does not have to be developed.
For the Qianlong mausoleum to open to the outside world, because the Qianlong mausoleum has a certain value of development and utilization, and the cleaning of the underground palace is relatively easy, the underground building does not have a serious water leakage problem, the daily management and maintenance is relatively simple, and the funds consumed are not very much.
The tombs of these ancient emperors, that is, the cultural wealth of contemporary people, but also the cultural wealth of future generations, do not need to excavate all, leave it to future generations, rely on more advanced technology for unscathed excavation or do not open the mausoleum for research, is not better.
