After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the disorderly state in the early years of the Republic of China made tomb robbery rampant, and it was also the most rampant era of tomb robbery in ancient times. At that time, almost none of the tombs of the Qing Emperors were spared, only this tomb, which remained unchanged for 300 years, only because the Kangxi Emperor carved 15 characters on it!
"Majestic Tomb of Filial Piety"
In the Qing Dynasty Imperial Mausoleum, the Eastern Tomb of the Qing Dynasty, it was excavated on a large scale in the Republic of China era, robbed tombs, and was devastated. The strange thing is that the most magnificent and magnificent Qing Xiao mausoleum inside, but it has remained intact. Because the Qing Xiaoling Tomb was the mausoleum of the Shunzhi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, it was built the most magnificent and magnificent, including hundreds of buildings! In the case of the overall disaster of the Qing Dynasty, Xiaoling did not move, even if there were two earthquakes in the 300 years, the Shunzhi cemetery is still intact, you must know that these two earthquakes have spared none of the surrounding houses! It is reasonable to say that it is so magnificent, and it is the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty to enter the customs, presumably there are many treasures, but why is it not stolen?
"15 characters engraved by Kangxi"
Although Kangxi built the mausoleum of his father Shunzhi Emperor with great efforts, but also considered that there would be tomb robbers to stare at, therefore, on the one hand, constantly strengthen and expand the Shunzhi cemetery, more importantly, Kangxi cleverly carved 15 words on the tombstone: "The emperor's will, the mountain tomb is not revered, and does not hide gold and jade treasures", that is, to tell the tomb robbers, there is no treasure in it, digging is also white digging, therefore, in the Shunzhi tomb in the late Qing Dynasty, when it encountered 4 times of theft, including sun Dianying's tomb, but every time the Shunzhi tomb was dug, it was always impossible to move. It can't be fried either! And when he saw Kangxi's 15 words, the tomb robbers easily gave up the idea of continuing to dig, so they saved the tomb!
"The Legend of being deceived"
At that time, Shunzhi suddenly died, and Kangxi, who was only a few years old, had a legend that Shunzhi was heartbroken because of the death of Concubine Dong E, and did not want to be an emperor, so he went to the temple and became a monk. This saying is widely spread in the folk, just like the modern TV series. Therefore, in the eyes of the people, this Shunzhi Emperor went as a monk, did not die in Beijing at all, and was not buried in Xiaoling, in fact, Xiaoling was just a crown tomb, a blindfold! Therefore, this also makes the folk tomb robbers rarely pay attention to the filial piety. It is also rare to dig the tomb on a large scale!
It can be said that the Shunzhi cemetery is well preserved, and Kangxi's wit is inseparable, Kangxi not only praised his father for being frugal and not wasteful, but also directly told the tomb robbers that there is no treasure in it, which saved Xiaoling for 300 years!
