From September 1945 to February 65438+, the bandit leader Wang organized the second and third grave robbing activities.
It is said that when Sun Dianying stole the Yuling Mausoleum and the Cixi Mausoleum, he stole thirteen cars of rare treasures. In the grave robbery incident of 1945, there were 1 1 tombs robbed! The number of people involved in the second Dongling robbery was as high as 1000. Although the main treasure was divided up by several principal criminals, all the people involved in the grave robbery will not return empty-handed. Even if everyone shares one or two, the total amount is quite amazing.
1952, the Qing Dongling set up a cultural relics depository, and the state began to include the Qing Dongling in the scope of the first-class cultural relics protection zone. In the 1970s, during the process of sorting out the Yuling underground palace, the Qing Dongling Cultural Relics Management Office excavated a number of cultural relics, which are now displayed in the exhibition hall. These treasures, which were left out during the grave robbery in Sun Dianying, are still shining.

In the 1920s, after looting by bandits and warlords, there were not many treasures left in the tombs on the ground, only the underground palace was left. At this time, a mysterious note probably helped the grave robbers.
According to experts, it is said that there was a "Notes on Love Moon Xuan" at that time, which was dictated by Li, a great eunuch in the late Qing Dynasty, and written by his nephew. It records in detail many priceless treasures buried in the underground palace of Cixi.
In addition, Qianlong in the heyday of the Qing Dynasty was the richest emperor. Their tombs are magnificent, and the sacrifices must be very luxurious. Therefore, Qianlong's Yuling and Cixi's Ding Dong Mausoleum Palace became the primary targets.
