The phenomenon of tomb robbery in China is really rampant now, with nine out of ten tombs empty. Except for the tombs that are key protected by the state, the rest are basically dug up.
So when did the phenomenon of tomb robbery occur? Today we will tell you about the unknown rumors about the tomb robbery industry.
It is said that tomb robbery occurred in Spring and Autumn years. Since Qin Mugong 's death, thick burials were popular. At that time, some wealthy and status people buried their favorite objects, such as gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, with themselves after their death. After this, tomb robbery began to prevail.
Many people say that tomb robbers are mostly done by bad people like little thieves. No, sometimes some large tombs are often robbed by powerful and powerful officials.
Let’s not talk about it, just say that in August 1928, a newspaper in the Tianjin Concession published a message. At this time, a young man in the concession read the news and cried bitterly. If he did not avenge this revenge, he would be a person who was born after Aisin Gioro . So who is this? The last emperor Xuantong Puyi , and the newspaper was published that his ancestral tomb was dug for someone to dig it out. That is, the emperor's tomb was stolen.
We all know that the eastern tomb of Zunhua, Hebei was Qianlong, Kangxi , Tongzhi , Shunzhi , and Cixi tomb. In 1928, the warlord Sun Dianying was dug here. At that time, Sun Dianying surrendered to Chiang Kai-shek . Because of being excluded, Sun Dianying couldn't wait for military expenses for a long time. How to support the troops and fight in wars without money? At this time, he started to pay attention.
At that time, Sun Dianying's troops were stationed in Zunhua City, Hebei Province. Sun Dianying thought that this place was Dongling, wasn't Cixi buried here? You think Cixi was extremely extravagant during her lifetime, and she would definitely have buried many good things with her when she died. So he drove away the local people with the excuse of military exercises, but everyone thought that the emperor's tomb must have been designed very sturdy and cleverly. After searching for half a month but not finding the entrance, Sun Dianying caught an 80-year-old man who had participated in the construction of the Dongling Mausoleum at that time. He threatened the old man with the lives of his family and said the location of the entrance. He directly used explosives to explode the tomb. All the officers and soldiers rushed in and robbed Cixi, and finally pulled Cixi's body out of the coffin. The poor old Buddha threw it away and no one cared about it. He pried open his mouth, took away all the night pearls and gold teeth. The treasures in the cemetery were so hot. Sun Dianying has gained enough money at this moment, so someone will ask how many treasures Sun Dianying stole!
Let me give you an example. At that time, Sun Dianying had a soldier under him in Tianjin to sell stolen goods. He had pearls as big as 46 eggs. Do you think that even a soldier could make so many treasures, how much does Sun Dianying have to make? As a result, after this incident was reported, the whole country caused public outrage. Digging people's graves is unethical and you will not die well.
But this situation is an individual case after all. Most tomb robbers are still some little thieves. The methods of tomb robbing in the past were as simple and crude as Sun Dianying. With the advancement of science, how powerful are to tomb robbing now? Intensive operations to form an industrial chain .
Modern tomb robbers first, the big boss would first find someone to see Feng Shui. In the past, whenever rich families, emperors and generals had to choose places with good Feng Shui. So you have to find someone who looks at Feng Shui to see which Feng Shui is the best, and there may be a cemetery in this place. You think that Feng Shui master is also a naturalist. If you dig a cemetery, you have to turn it over. After turning it over, the grass here will be lush than other places. When the Feng Shui master climbed a high place, he saw that the grass here was better than other places, so he was here, and then he left and replaced the next group of people. After finding the position of
, the second group of people came in. This group of people took the Luoyang shovel and the infrared detector, and put the soil on and took a look. Use infrared detector to judge which dynasty is used to determine the tomb below. This is from Yuan Dynasty , which is from Western Zhou , which is from last week. After the second wave of people determined the year of the tomb, the third wave began to dig directly.
In fact, the most unethical thing about tomb robbers is not the loss of many cultural relics, but the loss of many cultural valuable things in our field. The valuable things in scientific research are destroyed. Everyone thinks that the tomb robbers are no longer culturally and knowledgeable, and they are also working hard for money. As long as he digs a tomb, the relevant cultural value in the tomb will be destroyed.
