In addition to more and more precious funerary objects, we have also developed a cruel human sacrifice system, which began in the Shang Dynasty and ended in the Han and Tang Dynasties. Because it was too cruel, people abolished it, but then the ethnic minorities entered the Central Plains, and this system was revived. Ming Yingzong abolished it once in the Ming Dynasty and Emperor Kangxi abolished it once, and then it was completely gone.
The ancients believed that people would go to another world after death. The emperor enjoyed the most honorable treatment and the best things in the world before his death. Then, after their death, they must also bring enough treasure, and someone must accompany them to wait on them. The place where the emperor was buried is also an excellent place for feng shui.
Most ancient people like to use girls. These girls are only in their teens and twenties. They are honest and young, but they have to be buried with the emperor. Life is so short, so many people are unwilling, and many girls try their best to escape.
The imperial power of that meeting was also overbearing. As long as the royal family needs it, they will try their best to get it. They sympathize with those innocent girls. If these women don't want to, they will be forced to commit suicide or use more cruel means. They feel it a great honor for them to let these women die.
No one wants to die at a beautiful age, so these women will struggle before they die. In the end, their death was also terrible, and their legs were separated in a strange posture, which was caused by struggle.
In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang initiated the custom of martyrdom. Later, after the death of Yongle Emperor Judy, this habit was also used. At first, more than 30 people died for Judy. At that time, these girls had no choice. Everyone cried after the last meal.
The ancients were superstitious, even the emperor. They think these young girls are the most immortal. These emperors want to live forever. If buried with these women, it is helpful for their eternal life, but also to satisfy their abnormal desires. In order to become immortals, they can kill innocent people and turn into bones in the end.
But even if the system was cruel, it was a trivial matter for the emperor to kill dozens of people with him, and no one dared to take care of it. Considering how autocratic and overbearing the imperial power is, we should even lament our beautiful life.
