Chapter 33: The Eerie Incident of Empress Dowager Cixi's Burial. [33]
Summary
Empress Dowager Ci Xi's funeral was a lavish and mysterious event lasting five days. Her million-silver coffin, adorned with over 20,000 pearls, jade, and precious artifacts, was carried by 7,000 bearers. During the procession, supernatural events occurred: a sudden hurricane, a pervasive nauseating stench, and blood seemingly seeping from the coffin. Experts attribute these phenomena to preservation materials and funeral conditions. Ci Xi's extravagance was legendary, with daily meals of 180 dishes and birthday celebrations costing millions, while China faced significant national challenges during her reign.Full content
