But what is puzzling is that as the emperor's daughter, Princess Rong Xian actually wore a dragon robe, and it has not been corrupted for 240 years, and the valuation of her funeral objects is over 100 million.
In addition to Wu Zetian , no woman has ever worn a dragon robe in history. Why did Princess Rongxian have such an honor? Why is her body well preserved, and even her hair is not oxidized?
The owner of the mysterious tomb in a dragon robe
In 1972, the Chifeng City Police Station in Inner Mongolia received a report, and an old man said that he might have accidentally dug out an ancient tomb while farming.
Because there was a precedent before, the archaeologists soon arrived at the scene.
Experts felt regretful as soon as they saw this big hole. This hole may have been a robber dug by tomb robbers, and the things inside may have been looted long ago.
experts quickly carried out rescue excavation and archaeology, and tried to preserve the remaining cultural relics in the tomb as much as possible.
After lighting the lamp and boiling oil for a week, this mysterious mausoleum finally revealed its true appearance.
Open the coffin, and the situation inside shocked everyone because the woman in the coffin was extremely well preserved!
Although the skin has wrinkles, it can be seen that it is very loose, but the overall body is still very elastic. Even more than 70 cm of hair have not fallen off, and it is black and shiny.
In addition, the woman wore a phoenix crown and a dragon robe covered with pearls. The dragon patterns on the dragon robe were embroidered with gold thread, which was exquisite clothing that dozens of embroiderers could only sew day and night.
, and the two Su embroidery flag outfits beside the woman directly named the age when the tomb owner lived - Qing Dynasty .
This is very likely to be the tomb of a royal woman in the Qing Dynasty.
But how could a woman wear a dragon robe in the Qing Dynasty? The dynasty changes in the Qing Dynasty were very clear and clear. There was never a period of women rule. The dragon robe in front of me had a distinct royal style, which was indeed something that could only be made by the imperial palace.
with full of doubts, archaeologists carefully studied the dilapidated stone tablets in the cemetery, and the identity of the tomb owner surfaced. She is Kangxi's daughter - Princess Rongxian of Gulun .
The beloved pearl in the palm
Princess Gulun Rongxian was born in 1673 and is Kangxi's third daughter.
Before Princess Rongxian was born, the position of the princess in the palace was empty. Perhaps for a good omen, Kangxi took his younger brother's daughter to the palace and regarded it as his adopted daughter, becoming his eldest daughter.
Not long after, Princess Rongxian of Gulun was born. Princess Rongxian, who should have been the eldest daughter, could only be recorded as the second daughter because of her nominal sister.
Princess Rongxian's mother Concubine Rong is highly favored. From the sixth year of Kangxi to the sixth year of Kangxi, , Concubine Rong gave birth to ten children in the ten years, that is to say, he gave birth to a dragon son for Kangxi every year, which shows his favorability.
However, because he entered the palace at a young age and was inadequate, nearly half of the children he had given birth died. As the only daughter of the two, Princess Gulun Rongxian became Kangxi's favorite as soon as she was born.
As a royal woman in the Qing Dynasty, Princess Rongxian lived a very good life at first. She did not have to face the risk of fighting for the throne, nor did she need to experience the sufferings of the people. She just needed to enjoy wealth and honor in the palace and act coquettishly with her father. But as he grew older, at the age of nineteen, Princess Rongxian moved towards the fate that a royal princess should have - marriage.
Kangxi pointed out his daughter who had been living in the imperial city since childhood to marry the Mongolian Balin tribe Urgon .
Although Princess Rong Xian was favored since childhood, she showed recognition of this marriage, which is her mission as a princess.
With this supreme glory, Princess Rongxian got married.
4 visits to his relatives and daughter, and rewards the dragon robe
Urgon is the best husband carefully selected by Kangxi. He is young, brave and good at fighting. His grandmother is the elder sister of the emperor Shunzhi . He has noble blood. In time, he will definitely become the new leader of the Bahrain tribe. Marrying him is the best destination for Princess Rongxian.
In order for Princess Rongxian to continue the treatment of the princess on the grassland, on the day of getting married, Kangxi prepared 240 servants for her and followed her to live on the grassland.
These servants are all servants who have served Princess Rong Xian for many years.
, and Urgon did not disappoint Kangxi's high hopes. After marrying Princess Rongxian, the two gave birth to a son and a daughter. After Urgon inherited the throne, Princess Rongxian was also canonized as the princess of the Bahrain tribe.
It can be said that both Kangxi and Urgon gave Princess Rongxian the greatest preferential treatment within their own abilities.
After his daughter married far away, Kangxi was still very worried. He missed his daughter like an ordinary father.
For this reason, as the king of a country, Kangxi went to the Balin tribe four times to visit his daughter to confirm whether his daughter and Urgon lived happily.
Urgon even accompanied her back to the capital to visit her old friends for his wife many times.
Kangxi made an exception many times for this. He first allowed Urgon to take his daughter to visit relatives in the capital, and even directly named his daughter Princess Rongxian of Gulun.
In Manchu , Gulun means the country, and being named Gulun Princess means the highest level among the Qing Dynasty princesses.
Princess Rongxian's biological mother Rongfei The mother's family has a bad life experience, and being named Hoshuo Princess is already a great gift. No one expected that Kangxi would give the title only the daughter of the queen to Princess Rongxian to make an exception.
In addition, Kangxi even rewarded her with a dragon robe!
This is exactly the dragon robe she wore in Princess Rongxian’s tomb. This is why a woman can wear royal clothing in bright yellow.
Princess Rongxian passed away. She was 56 years old at that time, and she was considered a long life at that time.
, and under the instruction of Yongzheng , she wore this dragon robe that her father gave her to be buried, and most of the burials around her were gold, silver and jewelry made by her husband and father for herself.
corpse wears dragon robe for 240 years and has not been corrupted. The burial objects are worth over 100 million yuan. In addition to dragon robe and flag suit, other dresses, phoenix crowns, silk gold hairpins, etc., are all priceless treasures. The exquisite handicraftsmanship requires a lot of manpower and material resources even now, and its fineness is surprising!
Father-daughter love spanning a hundred years
Princess Gulun Rongxian's life can be said to be smooth sailing, and in the peace and tranquility of her life, you can see Emperor Kangxi's gurgling love for her daughter.
As an emperor, he needed to marry his daughter far away, but as a father, he could abandon his background, give Princess Rongxian the highest title, and even carefully designate a loyal servant suitable for his daughter.
Time goes by a hundred years, and with the emergence of this Princess Rongxian’s tomb, ’s neglected father-daughter relationship has become known.
And in their stories, we can not only see the culture and customs of the time, but also the harmonious scene after the integration of Manchu and Mongolian culture and the marriage between the two parties. This may be one of the significance of archaeological .
