The biggest grave robbery in the history of China?

I hope it will help you. When Cao Cao robbed the Tomb Corps in the Three Kingdoms, in order to prepare for the military pay, Cao Cao specially organized a professional technical team to dig graves and attack the key points, which was called a captain Mo Jin, and made great contributions to the reserve supply of Da Wei. Cao Cao is the most professional grave robber in the history of China. Thieves also have their own ways. In ancient times, the inverted bucket of tomb raiding was divided into sects with rules. The regular sects of tomb raiding were divided into four sects: touching gold, raising hills, moving mountains and unloading mountains, and the door rules were also different. The rest of the tomb raiders belonged to stragglers, which was unreasonable. Let's just talk about touching gold. The door of touching gold may have originated from the Three Kingdoms, and everyone in the door is equipped with a touch of gold. There is a special code word for people who touch gold, which has been passed down from generation to generation, and outsiders naturally don't understand it. This is a means of keeping eyes and ears open. People who touch gold must be familiar with the knowledge of gold-breaking points, be familiar with geomantic omen, and read the pulse of mountains and rivers all over the world, so that they can not only see the location of the tomb, but also find out the location of the mysterious gate of the tomb, and the stolen hole dug can go straight under it. Star Feng Shui Since ancient times, people have often watched astronomical phenomena, studied the changes of stars, and used them to speculate on good fortune and bad luck. When choosing a treasure house of Feng Shui, they will also join the essence of astronomy. Ancient emperors and nobles attached great importance to what happened after death, and they should continue to have the treatment they enjoyed during their lifetime. Not only that, they also believed that the rise and fall of the world all originated in Long Mai, so the tombs should be set in the treasure house of Feng Shui. Yongzheng emperor once outlined the Mausoleum brilliantly. He said: The area where Gankun meets Xiuxiu, the place where Yin and Yang meet, the sand water in the dragon cave, everything is beautiful, the situation is reasonable, all the auspicious places are salty, and the mountains are well organized, so it is a land of good luck. For grave robbers, the first thing to find is the tomb. A sealed tomb is easy to identify, but it is difficult for a tomb that has not been sealed or has been eroded by wind and rain for many years. To solve this problem, grave robbers generally adopt the methods of "looking" and "asking". The so-called "looking" is looking at the feng shui. Old grave robbers are experienced and good at geomantic omen. They know that the general tombs or tombs of important people are located in the treasure land of geomantic omen, and it is almost successful to use geomantic omen to guide the determination of unmarked tombs on the ground. It is said that during the Republic of China, a master of grave robbery named Cai in Changsha was very good at geomantic omen. If he went out to choose a spot, followers would gather. On one occasion, he went to visit relatives in Ningxiang County and went to a place with beautiful scenery. He pointed to a paddy field and told his colleagues that there must be a big tomb under this field, and the treasures in the tomb can make you and me suddenly rich. None of his peers believed him, so the man made a bet with them: If there was no tomb, he would lose to 1 yuan. On the contrary, 7% of the treasures are found in the tomb. The crowd gambled wildly, so they secretly asked dozens of villagers to dig at night. In the middle of the night, they dug up a brick tomb with painted walls and swords, Baoding, jade, lacquerware, gold cakes and other things in it. Later, they sold these cultural relics to American missionaries and got a lot of dollars to get rich. The so-called "question" is to step on the spot. Those who are good at this way often dress up as Mr. Feng Shui or a fortune teller and travel around the world. They pay special attention to the beautiful scenery and the places where they have been to senior officials. They are generally eloquent, good at talking with the elderly about the past, and get the information and orientation of ancient tombs from the conversation. As soon as we found out the exact location of the ancient tomb, we immediately called a group of thieves to dig at night. If you encounter a large or medium-sized tomb, it takes a long time to steal it, and the grave robbers have to find ways to hide their eyes and ears. Sometimes, they will build a house near the tomb and then dig a tunnel from the house to the tomb; Sometimes, they build a fake grave beside the ancient tomb, and then secretly dig tunnels into the ancient tomb; Sometimes, in the name of land reclamation, they planted tall crops such as corn and sorghum around the tombs to cover up their grave-robbing activities with green curtains. The first step in the official start of grave robbery is to find the location of the hole and enter the tomb or coffin in the shortest distance. This kung fu requires not only rich experience in robbing tombs, but also a keen sense of observing things. This is the so-called "cutting" skill. Those who are good at this way can often accurately locate the tomb or coffin according to the trend of topography and veins and the different tomb structures in different dynasties and regions, such as giving people a pulse. In addition to the "cutting" work, there is also the so-called "smelling" work. Some grave robbers have this unique skill. They often turn over the topsoil of the tomb, take a pinch of soil and put it under their noses to smell it, and tell whether there is a metallic smell, whether it has been stolen or not, or even which dynasty's tombs or other relics. The tools used for grave robbery are also very important. In the old days, grave robbers generally used pickaxes, axes, shovels, etc. In the Ming Dynasty, grave robbers began to use special iron cones. In the Republic of China, Luoyang grave robbers invented Luoyang shovel. Experienced grave robbers can judge the basic situation of the underground only by the different sounds and feelings on their hands when Luoyang shovel collided with the ground.

it doesn't mean that if you dig a stolen hole, you will definitely be able to go straight into the tomb and steal property like a treasure in a bag. Grave robbers often encounter "falling fire". "Burying fire" is also called "fire pit tomb" or "fire cave", which is caused by the decomposition of organic matter buried in the tomb and the formation of a combustible gas-biogas. Some will also encounter a "mercury pool", and the gas volatilized by mercury can also poison grave robbers. In the face of these possible situations, experienced grave robbers are often not in a hurry to get the treasure, but let the poison gas or fire spread for a few days, or "lead the dog into the middle" and lead the way with dogs to avoid casualties. After all obstacles are removed, it is the treasure. Not everyone can get the treasure, but everyone can get it. When approaching the coffin, the experienced "master" should personally go down to the grave to explore. If the coffin is well preserved, cut it with an axe and chisel, and climb into the coffin room to touch the cultural relics. When touching cultural relics, be careful, calm, accurate and without omission. Grave robbers usually start from the head of the deceased and end up at the foot. In ancient times, there was a habit of blocking the seven orifices with jade for fear that the essence of the deceased would leak out, so grave robbers would not let go of the seven orifices of the deceased.

1.1: the characteristics of ancient tombs. No matter which dynasty or generation, the forms of tombs in China for thousands of years all originated from the five elements of geomantic layout propagated by Fuxi's sixty-four hexagrams, and they always strive to occupy the whole world. In the final analysis, they are pursuing eight words: within nature, heaven and man are one. The structure of the tomb is generally designed according to the living house, with a main room, a back room and two ear rooms. The tomb owner's coffin stopped right in the middle of the main room. Nobles are much larger. The tomb of the underground palace is divided into three parts: the front, the middle and the back. There is a thousand-pound gate hanging at the door, and the first one is a "Ming Hall" (Ghost Hall). According to the layout of the hall in the tomb owner's home before his death, there are all kinds of furniture. These objects are called "funerary objects" (funerary objects). Further inside, the tomb in the middle, called the "Sleeping Hall", is where the coffins are placed. Followed by the "annex hall", which is a place specially used to put funerary objects. Murals During the Tang and Song Dynasties, most of the tombs of princes had murals to describe the great deeds of the tomb owner's life. 1.2. The organ hanging soul ladder in the ancient tomb: fascinating and disoriented, which makes people have an illusion and can't find the right direction. Rockfall: It was popular before and after the Tang Dynasty. Once it was touched, the huge stones at the entrance and top of the tomb fell. Dark crossbow: popular before and after the Tang Dynasty, once touched, the crossbow will be shot from the hidden place in the tomb. Quicksand: once the mechanism in the ancient tomb is touched, it opens, and a lot of sand rushes into the place where the digger is, burying the digger alive. Nest crossbow: Once the organ in the ancient tomb is touched, hundreds of crossbows are shot, which will pierce the heart of the digger. Stone pile: the mechanism in the ancient tomb, once touched, folded the thick stone pillar and driven by the force of the mechanism, flew into the digger. Tianbao Dragon Fire Glass Roof: Like the Jin Tomb in the late Northern Song Dynasty, Tianbao Dragon Fire Glass Roof, a popular anti-theft technology at that time, should be used. This structure is very advanced in technology. The tomb is hollow, and the ceiling is paved with a very thin layer of glazed tile, with bags of western dragon oil on it, and then a layer of glazed tile on it, and then a mound is sealed. As long as external force enters, the roof will break when it touches the air, and the western dragon oil will catch fire when it sees the air. Rammed soil layer: the core defense line of the tomb. A layer of hard soil is rock-solid, and only a white mark appears when the sappers shovel hits it. This is rammed soil, which is protected by organs at the top. This kind of soil was prepared with the secret recipe of the court at that time, and it was mixed with some glutinous rice juice and boy urine, which was stronger than modern concrete. This secret recipe belonged to the emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty. Later, the Jin State destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was spread to the Jin nobles. Flip board that can fall: it can completely seal the ghost hall, and would rather break the empty position of hiding wind and gathering gas than give the funerary funerary funerary funerary wares to the digger. Savory jade: also known as meteorite, or insect jade, produced in a valley in the Middle East. This kind of insect jade itself has many strange characteristics, and it has always been a legendary mysterious substance, which is extremely rare. Ancient people thought that this kind of living strange stone had evil spirits attached to it. As long as the flame was burned near the insect jade, a large amount of black fog as thick as solidification would be emitted from it. After the black fog, all the substances nearby that exceeded a certain temperature were corroded into pus. Once the rotten jade is put into the tomb, it is the most harmful organ, and the grave robbers who are not prepared for holding torches will die. The secret medicine for expelling insects in the mausoleum: buried sulfur and mercury, mixed with poison powder, ten-day yellow bug, lazy bodhi dike, etc., can be buried in the soil because of its attribute hedging, and will not volatilize cleanly for thousands of years. The effect is not only to repel insects, but also to prevent theft. Cracking of some organs: the glazed roof of the dragon fire in the sky: the biggest weakness of this organ is that the glazed tile of the dragon fire on the roof will not be broken if it is dug from the side. Break the rammed soil layer: pour vinegar on the rammed soil layer with a big spoon. When this bucket of vinegar is poured out, the tomb wall will be almost corroded. Although the corrosiveness of vinegar is not too strong, it has a miraculous effect on this kind of rammed earth prepared with secret recipe. This is called a gram of one thing, and digging again is similar to digging tofu. Breaking the Hanging Soul Ladder: Its principle is to use reference objects to play tricks. At a certain distance, you always make a mark intentionally or unintentionally. Once you pay attention to these marks, you will be led astray from the right direction. The angle of the steps is different from usual, and the horizontal stare blankly slopes down slightly, and some places are flat and some places are high. This distracts attention from the change of angle, and it is not easy to detect the change of weight and balance. On the contrary, it is easy to walk out blindly with your eyes closed.
