There is a sentence in the Confucian classic "Zhou Li" in the feudal era that means: A grave is not only a place for a person to rest after death, but also a place where filial descendants can express their thoughts. This shows that in the hearts of ancient people, tombs are not only a deep respect for the deceased, but also a special way to remember them. We living in modern times cannot imagine the importance of tombs. In ancient times, people could seek revenge on the person who cut down the tree because a small tree planted on their family's cemetery was cut down, and kill him. It is enough to show the important position of tombs in Chinese traditional culture.
Not only did the people value tombs, but even the emperor attached great importance to them and passed strict laws to punish those despicable acts that destroyed other people's tombs. However, no matter how strict the laws are, they can't stop some tomb thieves. They know the law and break the law to get the valuable funerary objects in the tombs. Therefore, many cemeteries have been looted by them, especially the cemeteries of prestige, status, and wealthy families in ancient times. , very few can be preserved intact.
The emperor’s tomb was discovered in a mountain village in Wenzhou, Zhejiang! Paradoxically, why do tomb robbers keep away from it? It was in such an environment that a complete ancient tomb was preserved in a village in Zhejiang. It had not been visited by any tomb robbers for thousands of years. Is there really just an ordinary person buried in this tomb? Is it really worthless for theft? The local villagers did not think so. They said that the person buried inside was not an ordinary person, but an ancient emperor, and his status was extremely prominent during his lifetime. But this is inconsistent with common sense. If it is the tomb of an emperor, why would the tomb robbers show mercy? How come the gold and silver treasures in the tomb have been ignored for thousands of years?
The local villagers are in great awe of this tomb. During festivals, the whole family, old and young, will go up the mountain to pay homage together. Although they do not know which emperor is inside, they are all grateful that the village has such a mysterious tomb. Rejoicing at the mausoleum. They believe that their ancestors are protecting them, so no one dares to think too much about the tomb. But there was once a family who secretly built the tombs of their elders next to the mausoleum in order to make their family more prosperous in the future, so as to enjoy the good feng shui of the emperor. However, unexpectedly, instead of good luck, bad luck followed one after another. Someone in the family either got sick or had an accident. They were so frightened that they quickly moved their tombs and went to the mountains to worship and kowtow to admit their mistakes for several days.
This anecdote aroused great interest among archaeological experts, who immediately rushed to the village. After listening to the detailed descriptions of the villagers, the archaeological experts found it difficult to understand and believed that the local legend was just a superstitious rumor, which could definitely be explained by science. Archaeological experts later discovered that the tomb was the tomb of King Qian. According to historical records of the Song Dynasty, King Qian died suddenly at his birthday party at the age of sixty. Through analysis, experts believe that the cause of King Qian's death was drinking poisoned wine, and the person who poisoned it was Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty! Therefore, after his death, he was buried in this village by his descendants.
However, there are also historical records that King Qian’s tomb is located in Luoyang. After archaeological experts noticed this problem, they conducted a more detailed investigation and research. After intense discussions, everyone agreed that the tomb in Xiaoshan Village was the tomb of King Qian, because the local county annals clearly recorded this sentence: The tomb of King Qian The mausoleum is in Songshan! It is the Tomb of King Qian that has been passed down from generation to generation. It is clear that Nanshan Village belongs to Songshan. Then, there is a temple not far from Cangnan. The emperor worshiped in this temple is King Qian. There are also temples and temple towers donated and built by the descendants of King Qian around it, indicating that this area is indeed where the descendants of the Qian family live. This mausoleum has not been stolen by thieves for thousands of years. It has been preserved intact due to the fact that future generations buried the mausoleum in a secluded mountain village in a low-key manner.
