Empress Xiao Zhuang said something before she died, roughly saying that since Huang Taiji had died for a long time, it is really necessary to move the mausoleum again for me now. But it would be a waste of labor and money to rebuild a mausoleum for me. I hate to part with you, so bury me with your father and son.
So Emperor Kangxi was in a dilemma. He rebuilt a temporary Anfeng Hall outside the Mausoleum of the Qing Dynasty, put the coffin of Empress Xiao Zhuang in it, and slowly tried to solve it. Therefore, the coffin of Empress Xiao Zhuang has not been buried, so it has been 30 years. So why can the coffin of Empress Xiao Zhuang be preserved for so long? At that time, during the thirty years of Kangxi's reign, he didn't think of any good way, so he always put the coffin of Empress Xiao Zhuang in the temporary Anfeng Hall, which was only solved after Yongzheng ascended the throne.
Yongzheng buried Empress Xiao Zhuang in Zhaoxiling, west of Zhaoling, Shenyang. In ancient times, people of this level, such as Empress Xiao Zhuang, all made their Zigong with the finest golden nanmu. Phoebe bournei, a kind of wood, has a long growth cycle and can emit special fragrance to drive away mosquitoes. Wood is hard, delicate, not easy to deform and has strong corrosion resistance, so it can not rot even if it is buried underground for thousands of years. In addition, there is a special person to take care of it, so there is no problem in preserving it for 30 years. Another reason for the spread is that the ancients at that time were very clever and had mastered the technology of how to preserve the integrity of the body. But as for what technology is, our descendants don't know.
