Archaeology is to find the remains of human beings, to find the truth of history of a work, Chinese civilization has been handed down for thousands of years, there are many precious histories have not been recorded in the annals of history, archaeologists through archaeology, constantly looking for these lost precious history, now has a lot of achievements. The Qing Dynasty was the last feudal dynasty in our country, and people know more about this dynasty than other dynasties, for no special reason, just because this dynasty has only passed more than a hundred years since the era in which we now live. However, more than two thousand years ago, the Warring States and Qin Dynasty, more than a thousand years ago, the Tang and Song Dynasties, modern people know too little, and further afield, the history of China more than five thousand years ago is a large blank.
Under the prosperous Qing Dynasty, there was a surge within the imperial family
Most of the history of ancient times has been washed away by time and war, but the Qing Dynasty has only passed a hundred years since now, and there are many precious historical materials left. The emperor who reigned for the longest time in China's history was the Kangxi Emperor during the Qing Dynasty. He reigned for 61 years, and during his reign, he quelled the San Francisco Rebellion and signed a peace treaty with Tsarist Russia to stabilize Northeastern society. Kangxi was the emperor of the multi-ethnic state in history, and his actions laid the foundation for the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, and during the reign of Kangxi, the economy of the Qing Dynasty prospered and developed. However, in his later years, Kangxi slackened his government, and he began to listen to the rumors of corrupt officials, causing the corruption of the officials.
In the late period of Kangxi's reign, the interior of the imperial palace was very chaotic, and the nine princes of Kangxi constantly competed for the throne for imperial power, forming a situation in which brothers killed each other and fought each other viciously. Kangxi's harem had many concubines, and his children were also very numerous, according to historical records, the number of his sons reached 35, and his daughters had 20. However, these children did not live happily because they were born in the royal family. Kangxi's educational mistakes were borne by his children. Kangxi had many sons, and he had more sons than his daughters, but it can be known from historical records that although there were many sons, almost half of them died prematurely.
Kangxi's mausoleum was stolen by tomb thieves, and the luxurious imperial tomb was looted
There are also many of his daughters, but they almost all grew up safely, and a big reason for this is that men are eligible to inherit the imperial power, so many princes are "secretly calculated" by his other brothers when they are born or not. How fierce the internal struggle of the Kangxi family was, we do not know, but what we can know is that Kangxi was buried in Jingling after his death, and his imperial tomb was very luxurious, and there were 5 concubines to accompany him to the funeral. But at the beginning of the last century, social unrest, some bandits attracted the attention of the imperial tomb, and in 1945, hundreds of people participated in the tomb robbery.
Kangxi's Jingling tomb was completely destroyed, and the remains of him and his concubines were scattered on the ground, and the scene was a mess. Later, in 1952, experts from the Cultural Relics Bureau came to the Qing Dynasty Imperial Tombs for archaeology, and in this archaeological operation, they found the unbearable Jingling Tomb. The scene in the Jingling Made archaeologists cry out in pain, and after entering for a while, some experts said, get out, close the door quickly. Archaeologists say this because they have suffered a large-scale "looting" of ancient tombs, and almost no cultural relics exist, and these tomb robbers cannot leave anything behind.
None of the imperial tombs of the Qing Dynasty were spared
Jingling has lost its archaeological value, archaeologists do not intend to carry out archaeological operations on this tomb, in order to better protect Jingling, archaeologists have withdrawn from this ancient tomb and sealed the entrance to this Jingling. It was not until 1995 that experts from the Cultural Relics Bureau came to Jingling again, this time to restore the tomb, and now the tomb has been restored to its basic appearance. The mausoleums that were looted in that era were not only kangxi's jingling, but cixi's Dingdongling and other Qing dynasty imperial tombs were also destroyed, and cultural relics were basically stolen.
