The Empress Dowager Cixi, the late Qing Dynasty, one of the most powerful, as a woman, in the Qing Dynasty ruling for more than 40 years, there must be her over-achievement, then she died, the body is still able to hundred years of non-corrosion, which is also very magical, because at that time and did not give her a specialized body of the antiseptic treatment, this is why it?
There are three reasons, one, the body of Empress Dowager Cixi does not rot from her cause of death. According to records, Empress Dowager Cixi is sick, died of dysentery, that is, we are now usually said to be gastroenteritis, can not eat, eat diarrhea, it is said that she finally died, the body of serious water loss, basically there is no food in the stomach and intestines. We all know that the decay of the body from the stomach and intestines, her stomach and intestines are not something, so the body will be slow to decay. In the Qing Dynasty, medical equipment is not developed, got gastroenteritis also has no good treatment, think about the reign of the Qing Dynasty for more than 40 years of the empress dowager actually died because of this, the disease spared no one.
Second, the body does not rot also with the climate. It is said that the Empress Dowager Cixi died in winter, Cixi died to be buried into the Qing East Mausoleum, according to Beijing more than a hundred kilometers, the Qing Dynasty's transportation is not developed, from Beijing to the Qing East Mausoleum less than half a month to walk up, due to the cold weather, the Empress Dowager Cixi's body and did not decompose, the unique weather so that her body has been in the cryogenic state, which is also a reason.
Third, the body of Empress Dowager Cixi does not rot with the construction of the underground palace. general underground palace cold and damp, have been to the Qing East Mausoleum tour friends know, the weather outside even if the heat is unbearable, Empress Dowager Cixi's underground palace is still dark and cold, such an environment, to a large extent, to ensure that the body's low temperature, it can be imagined that Empress Dowager Cixi body does not rot by a variety of reasons, combined with their own physical condition and the timing of the time and place, it is not difficult to imagine why the Qing Dynasty did not Take antiseptic measures, and Empress Dowager Cixi still able to corpse does not rot.
Finally, it is not possible to escape the eyes of grave robbers, in the Qing Dynasty, immediately after the fall of the tomb thieves will be Empress Dowager Cixi inside the palace of the valuable things are stolen.
