It is said that this night pearl of Cixi is priceless. In the dark night, it can illuminate a hair a hundred paces away, and at the same time ensure that Cixi's body will never rot. But what is the truth?
Quoting Sun Dianying's description, the night pearl in Cixi's mouth is two semicircles when separated, crystal clear; When it is closed, it is a ball, which gives off a slight light and can shine on the hair at night. When stealing Cixi's coffin, Cixi looked serene, as if she were asleep. But when the wind blows, Cixi's face becomes black and old. Is this the credit of the night pearl?
Although the pearls in Cixi's mouth are priceless, they are essentially stones, but this kind of stone is not ordinary. Its predecessor is that some substances on the earth (a bit like fireflies) have been baptized naturally for several years, and finally after the volcanic eruption of nature, the luminous substances melt into some minerals. After manual processing and cutting.
It is also possible that the night pearl can emit light naturally, so there must be a special beam in it that will radiate to nature continuously. Perhaps this special light ensures the vividness of Cixi's body.
There are other meaningful reasons. According to historical records, Cixi did not eat or drink for a few days before her death, but had loose bowels. So by the time Cixi died, the leftovers in her body had already been cleaned up. In addition, her coffin itself is superior gold nanmu, which has the function of sterilization.
Later, craftsmen painted 49 layers of paint on the outer surface of the coffin. In addition, the design of Cixi's tomb is also reasonable. Therefore, this environment is very unfavorable to the growth and reproduction of bacteria. It is said that the right time, the right place and the right people have led to the fact that Cixi's body will not rot.
