In ancient times, what were the taboos of grave robbery? Why don't grave robbers dare steal graves with willows?

First of all, the symbolic significance of willow in ancient times is not good. Willow belongs to shade and has a short life. The willow tree in front of the tomb is considered as a symbol of disaster. Therefore, neither the rich nor ordinary people will plant willows in front of graves. There are many kinds of trees, such as pine and cypress, which symbolize immortality and immortality. Pine and cypress also symbolize blessing and longevity. Grave robbers themselves are a profession dealing with graves and geomantic omen. They pay more attention to the geomantic omen of graves than ordinary people. Graves with willows are regarded as dangerous places and are basically untouched.

Secondly, most of the willows in front of the tomb are not planted artificially, but basically grow naturally. Although willows are easy to survive, they need at least suitable soil conditions to grow. The graves of the rich are basically compacted with concrete, so it is impossible to grow trees naturally outside the graves.

For example, trees planted with pine and cypress were often tombs of princes and princes in ancient times. There must be a lot of gold, silver and jewels in the grave. Ordinary people can't plant trees in the grave. The growth of willow means that the foundation of the grave has not been treated, so it can't be the grave of the rich. Stealing this grave may be thankless, so grave robbers will not touch it.

Finally, grave robbers attach great importance to their fortune. For example, grave robbers often act together with their uncles for good luck, which is the homonym of "saving" and "living". Grave robbers are superstitious about this, and the homonym of willow is "stay". The ancients often used willow branches to retain friends and guests, but putting them here is not a symbol of good luck. Grave robbers don't want to be left in the grave, so tombs with willows often don't touch them.
