After the death of the emperor, why was the body buried for several months?

After the death, why should the body be placed for several months before being buried? Next, the editor will bring the historical truth, let’s take a look!

210 BC, died, but can be 208 BC It was only repaired before he was buried. In addition, it was buried almost a year after his death. After the death of the Ancient emperor, the coffins were parked for several months before they were buried. Why should the coffin be parked for several months before being buried? Don’t the ancients worry about the decay of the body?

According to historical records, most emperors will send people who understand feng shui to find treasures and then build emperor tombs after they assume the throne. For example, since Qin Shihuang began to choose the Feng Shui treasure from 247 BC, he began to build the tomb of Qin Shihuang. The construction of the emperor's mausoleum is huge, and usually consumes huge manpower, material resources, and financial resources. The number of workers who built the tomb of Emperor Qin Shihuang was as high as 800,000. Even so, it took thirty-nine years to build the tomb of Emperor Qin Shihuang.

However, not every emperor’s tomb It takes so long, depending on the scale and luxury of the tomb. However, in ancient times, the transportation was inconvenient and the technology was relatively backward, so it took at least a year to build the tomb. Many emperors died before their tombs were built. The National People’s Congress was superstitious. The emperor’s tomb was not built, and the emperor’s body could not be buried, otherwise it might affect the dragon veins, and no one could bear this responsibility. Especially those emperors who are in good health and suddenly crashed often have to wait for months before they can.

As we all know, the ancients must choose a "Zodiac Day" to pay attention to everything, and burial requires a good day. Otherwise, it may offend the gods and affect the fate of future generations. After the death of Cixi, a very famous master chose a burial for Jiri for her, and the tomb was not repaired before she let her coffin be buried for almost a year.

In addition, in ancient times, the emperor died, and to hold a grand state funeral, all places must go to Beijing to worship. The princes and nobles closer to the capital can arrive in a short time. However, those princes in remote areas and borders have to rush back to Beijing. Due to the long distance and the inconvenience of transportation, it usually takes more than a month. In addition, the emperor's funeral ritual is very cumbersome, and the coffin has been placed for a long time.

People worry about whether the corpses will rot, and the ancients are also prepared. Before the emperor's body was buried, it was treated with many spices. For example, "The Tomb of the Tomb", when he robbed the tomb of Cixi, the body he found was well preserved and lifelike.

If there is no antiseptic spices, don’t worry, because the coffin will be divided into "inner coffin" and "outer coffin", the two are tightly wrapped, there is no gap, and the coffin will also put spices. Therefore, even if the body is rotten, people outside can rarely smell the rotten smell. Text source: interesting history
