I believe that friends who like to read supernatural novels and tomb robbers will come into contact with this word: corpse raising ground. For example, in the novel " Ghost Blows the Light HTML ", the concept of corpse raising ground often appears. So, does the corpse-raising ground really exist in reality? What is the truth about the legendary corpse raising place?
1, Zombie Legend
In fact, Zombie Legend has existed since ancient times. A more typical case is generally believed to be the first recorded in the Wei and Jin dynasties. Typical ones include:
Western Han Dynasty The tomb of Empress Lu was dug up by the Red Eyebrow Army in the late Xinmang . As a result, due to the blessing of Jinli Jade Clothes , Empress Lu died for about 2 centuries, but her body was immortal;
In addition, there are records that A concubine of Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty was also immortal for several years after her death. Later, Dong Zhuo 2 sent people to dig out the tombs of nobles of the Han Dynasty and dug up the tomb of this concubine. The soldiers saw that the concubine was beautiful and had bad ideas. In the end, they became possessed by evil spirits and the soldiers killed each other.
Of course, the more bizarre statement is: Eastern Jin A certain general died about a hundred years ago and his tomb was robbed. As a result, while the tomb robber found his body immortal, he also found that the general's fingernail had a long growth. So the tomb robbers were amazed by this.
These bizarre legends were adopted by many horror movies in the last century and introduced a concept: corpse raising ground. According to the thriller literature and supernatural literature, the corpse-raising place is a place with feng shui. If burying corpses here, zombies are prone to appear. To this day, many online literary novels still adopt this concept.
So, does the corpse raising ground really exist? I personally think that from a scientific standpoint, the corpse raising place is actually false.
2. Incorruptible corpses
Of course, in modern times, there are indeed too many uncorruptible corpses unearthed. For example, the female corpse unearthed from the "Tomb No. 1 of Guojiagang" ( Warring States tomb), and the body of Mrs. Xin Zhui (belonging tombs of the Western Han Dynasty) unearthed from the tomb of Xin Zhui (belonging tombs of the Western Han Dynasty), were both undecayed at the beginning. Moreover, whether it is the immortal corpse of the tombs of the Warring States Period or the wife of Xin Zhui in the early Western Han Dynasty, it is more than two thousand years away from the unearthed age. Therefore, from a scientific theory, the phenomenon that corpses have not rotted for thousands of years does exist. However, the truth is not because of the corpse-raising site, but because of other reasons:
, for example, coffin liquid. There is a large amount of coffin liquid in Mrs. Xin Zhui’s tomb. It is made of a mixture of Chinese medicinal materials and chemicals such as mercury , which has a protective effect on the corpse. Of course, Xin Zhui’s tomb has a better sealing property and also plays an anti-corrosion effect.
Another example is local climate problems. If the climate is dry, it can also protect the body.
In fact, all corpses that were not rotten when they were first unearthed can be reasonably explained scientifically, but no explanation is the concept of a corpse-raising site.
3. The corpse-raising ground that cannot stand scrutiny
What's more: According to the concept of the corpse-raising ground, the so-called corpse-raising ground can not only make the corpse immortal, but also make the corpse continue to grow like a living person. However, this statement only appears in literature, and from the perspective of actual archaeology and even scientific, this phenomenon is not valid. In fact, many of the ancients' words about the uncorrupted corpses and the continued growth of the nails of corpses were also fabricated: for example, according to historical records, Empress Lu's corpses had long been decayed, but the novelist Yan claimed that Empress Lu's corpses remained uncorrupted two hundred years later. The novelist Yan's publicity is just to exaggerate the protective effect of the golden jade clothes on the corpse.
In addition, according to the ancients' concept, the ancients often pursued the saying that corpses were immortal. For example, the popular golden-wire jade clothes during the Qin and Han dynasties was mainly because the ancients believed that jade could immortalize corpses. Therefore, according to this concept, the corpse-raising land is not only not a land that is not good in Feng Shui, but should be a treasure land pursued by ancient emperors and generals.
So, for the corpse-raising place, I personally think it can be regarded as a literary concept, rather than a historical concept or a scientific concept.
