Qianlong, as the best emperor in the history of the Qing Dynasty, reached its peak under his rule. According to historical records, the imperial tomb of Qianlong lasted nine years and cost 2.3 million taels of silver to build, and the treasures in it are innumerable. In 1928, in the name of exercises, Sun Dianying led a large army to find the entrance to the Qing Tombs and stole the treasures in qianlong's tombs. With the theft of the tomb, the four treasures in the Qianlong tomb also re-entered the world, so how precious are the four treasures of this legend, and where are they now?
Qianlong likes to stamp, and many of the ancient treasure calligraphy and paintings we see today have different Qianlong seals on them. According to records, Qianlong had more than 1,800 seals in his lifetime, the most precious and most loved by Qianlong was the "Treasure of the Eight Treasures" that he carved on his eightieth birthday, and after Qianlong's death, this seal followed him and was buried in the Qingyu Mausoleum. It was not until Sun Dianying robbed the tomb that the seal reappeared, but it soon disappeared from people's sight.
On November 4, 2009, Sotheby's Auction House in London, England, auctioned the Qianlong "Treasure of the Eight Signs of Old Thoughts" seal, which reappeared in the public eye and was finally auctioned for about 40 million.
The Nine Dragon Sword, as the funerary sword next to Qianlong, was exquisitely made in history, and after Sun Dianying stole it, he loved it very much and wanted to take it for himself. But later, in order to escape the crime, he gave the Nine Dragon Sword to Dai Kasa and asked him to hand it over to Chiang Kai-shek. In 1946, Dai Kasa took the Kowloon Sword and took a special plane to Nanjing, but the plane crashed on the way, and the remains of the Kowloon Sword were buried in his tomb with Dai Kasa.
As a famous painting of the Yuan Dynasty, Fuchun Mountain Jutu was finally acquired by the Qianlong Emperor after going through ups and downs, and was buried as a funerary in the Qingyu Mausoleum after his death. After Sun Dianying stole him upside down, the Fuchun Mountain Residence Map was divided into two parts, which were stored in the National Palace Museum in Beijing and the National Palace Museum in Taipei.
The Silk Drani Sutra is used as a quilt draped after the death of the Qianlong Emperor, and the silk weaving process it uses represents the peak of silk weaving in the history of the mainland. After this treasure was stolen by Sun Dianying, it was favored by an amateur collector and auctioned for 90,000 yuan, and has since disappeared into the public eye. Until 2009, at a high price of 130 million yuan, it was auctioned off again.
