There have been more than 300 emperors in the long history of our country, and the most special one is Wu Zetian because she is a female emperor. Wu Zetian not only experienced bizarre twists and turns during her lifetime, but her story behind her is also a legend. It is said that Wu Zetian installed a mechanism in her tomb. Some people say that the tomb robbers never came out after entering. Why is this?
What are the characteristics of Wu Zetian’s tomb?
Wu Zetian’s tomb is called Qianling, where she and Li Zhi are buried together. Due to the strong national power during the Tang Dynasty, many rare treasures were buried with Li Zhi when he was buried. When Wu Zetian was buried, it is said that he took away a larger part of the wealth, so Qianling Mausoleum must have been rich enough to rival the country. It is said that Wu Zetian was worried about having her tomb robbed, so she approached Yuan Tiangang, a famous Feng Shui master at the time. She asked Yuan Tiangang to locate her tomb in a place where no one could find it. Yuan Tiangang stayed in the Qianling Mausoleum for three days and three nights and was busy setting up the formation. Due to his superb Feng Shui skills, the tomb robbers could not find the location of the Qianling Mausoleum, and even if they found it, they could not get out.
Has anyone ever been to Wu Zetian’s Qianling Mausoleum?
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, there was a famous tomb robber named Wen Tao, who once attempted to steal the treasures in the Qianling Mausoleum. However, according to historical records, Wen Tao tried to take action three times, but weather abnormalities occurred each time. In the end, Wen Tao no longer dared to take action.
But the above are all legends. In fact, after the 20th century, Qianling was discovered by several local ordinary people, and they immediately reported it to the government. However, because our country's archeology does not actively excavate tombs, and because technical means have not yet reached ideal standards, we have not yet entered the Qianling Mausoleum, but have protected it.
