Tombs are distributed in six counties in Guanzhong, Shaanxi Province. From west to east, they are: the dry tombs of Emperor Gaozong and Wu Zetian in Ganxian, Jingling in Tang Xizong, Zhaoling in Emperor Taizong and Jianling in Tang Suzong in Liquan County, chongling and Ling Zhen in Tang Dezong in Jingyang County, Xianling in Tang Gaozu in Sanyuan County, Zhuang Ling in Tang Jingzong, Duanling in Tang Wuzong County, Dingling in Fuping County, Yuanling in Tang Zongzong, Fengling and Tangwen in Tang Shunzong. Unfortunately, according to the research of experts in history and archaeology, the "Eighteen Mausoleums in Guanzhong" suffered different degrees of excavation except Ganling. Who robbed the Eighteen Mausoleums in Guanzhong? According to historical records, there are mainly the following three viewpoints:
First, Zhu Jiao said that the tomb was stolen. Tang Dezong once said in an imperial edict: "Zhu Yi rebelled against Yi Tian, stole famous vessels and violently invaded the mausoleum." If Zhu Jiao hadn't robbed the tomb, Dezong wouldn't be so angry. When describing Zhu Qi's attack on Fengtian City, the old and new Tang Shu, Zi Tongzhi Jian and Tian Feng Lu, which specifically recorded Zhu Qi's rebellion, also said that "cutting pines and cypresses in the dry mausoleum, staying day and night" and "enjoying the dry mausoleum and having a bird's eye view of the city." Zhu Zhai was originally a minister of the Tang Dynasty. After the mutiny in Yuan Jing, Dezong left Fengtian, became emperor on his own, and embarked on the road against the Tang Dynasty. On this basis, some scholars have raised objections: if Zhu Qi once robbed the tomb of the Tang Dynasty, it was only after he proclaimed himself emperor. However, analyzing the situation after Zhu Jiao proclaimed himself emperor, it is impossible for him to excavate the tomb of Tang Dynasty. Because Zhu Qi lacks motive for robbing the tomb. Most grave robbers are looking for treasure. Zhu Zhai is in the capital, and the treasure in the treasure house is inexhaustible. Why the imperial tomb? Shortly after Zhu Zhai proclaimed himself emperor, Du Shi made a Western Expedition and fought with Tang Jun in Fengtian. Soon, he was defeated and fled to Chang 'an, so he didn't have a chance to rob the tomb. Therefore, the statement that Dezong "stole the name" was made by Zhu Zhai, who claimed to be the emperor; As for "invading the tomb", it only refers to Zhu Qi's disrespectful behavior of cutting down trees and moving the tomb in Ganling. Therefore, it is not credible to say that Zhu Qian stole the tomb.
Second, Huang Chao said that the tomb was stolen. The reason is that after Huang Chao, the rebel leader, withdrew from Chang 'an, Gao Pian once said in a letter to Tang Xizong, "An umbrella destroys the garden". Opponents believe that Gao Pian's memorial was written by Gu Yun, a public figure, when he lost the relieving power. In fact, they are all from Huainan and don't know much about Guanzhong. Nuozong once accused him of "pointing at Chen too much." Therefore, Gao Pian's words, fear of gaffes. There is no statement that Huang Chao stole the mausoleum in Nuozong Collection of New and Old Tang Dynasty, Biography of Huang Chao and Zitongzhi Bamboo Slips. If Huang Chao really stole the Tang Mausoleum at that time, Tang Xizong must order the restoration of it after suppressing the rebellion. But in fact, Nuo religion only wrote a "director Feng Tai Temple system" and did not send a letter to repair the mausoleum. Visible, said Huang Chao stole the tomb of the Tang Dynasty, and there is no real evidence.
Third, Wen Tao said that the mausoleum was stolen. "The History of the Old Five Dynasties: A Biography of Tao Wen" says: "Everyone knows it in the tombs of the Tang Dynasty." "Zi Tong Zhi Jian" "Huayuan thief handsome Wen Tao gathered, and the tombs of Tang emperors were almost everywhere." "The History of the New Five Dynasties, Tao Wenchuan" says: "Tao lived in the town for seven years, and people living in the tomb of the Tang Dynasty found it. ..... but Ganling wind and rain can't be sent. " Shi Zi, when Wen Tao was young, he gathered people to be thieves. After occupying Huayuan, it was renamed as, and was appointed as our ambassador of Yisheng Army, which unified Yao and Dingzhou. Once fell back to the back beam, and then to the later Tang Dynasty; Guo Chongtao, minister of the later Tang Dynasty, said that he was a grave robber and demanded to be executed. Some scholars start with the analysis of Wen Tao's jurisdiction, and think that grave robbery in Wen Tao is only a part, not the whole. According to Yao, after the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, Mao decided to restore the tomb of the former emperor. Therefore, the imperial edict states and counties inspected the existence and abolition of emperors' tombs, and found that 28 emperors' tombs were stolen during the unrest, including "Eighteen Mausoleums in Guanzhong" 12. Namely Xianling, Duanling, Zhaoling, Dingling, Jianling, Yuanling, chongling, Fengling, Zhang Ling, Ling Zhen, Jianling and Jingling. This result should be said to be more reliable. According to textual research, since Taizu restored the imperial tombs on a large scale, there have been many letters to protect the imperial tombs, but there is no written record of stealing the tombs of the Tang Dynasty in historical records. So far, 12 of the "Eighteen Mausoleums in Guanzhong" has been stolen, while six tombs of Tang Dynasty, including Gan, Zhuang, Qiao, Tai, Jing and Guang, have not been stolen.
One last word: I didn't steal it anyway.
