There are 10 taboos in tomb-robbing culture. Do you know what they are?

To rob a tomb is to enter someone else's grave and make a claim. This social and cultural phenomenon has never stopped since ancient times. It can be seen from archaeological data that this phenomenon of destroying tombs still exists today. After the social change of "bad manners, happy collapse" in the Spring and Autumn Period, the wind of reburial rose, so grave robbery prevailed.

Anyone who digs a tomb will light a candle in the underground palace of the tomb, put it in the southeast corner, and then open the coffin and touch the gold. When you start work, don't damage the body of the deceased, gently touch the soles of your feet from the top of your head, and finally leave one or two treasures for the deceased. In the meantime, if the candles in the southeast corner go out, you must take back the property as it is, kowtow respectfully and go back the same way.

You need to wear a mask before entering the tomb, and don't take it off when entering. First, the air quality inside is not good; Second, the breath of the living cannot stay in the tomb, which is unlucky; Third, you can't exhale at the found body, for fear of pretending to be dead.

"Look" means looking at Feng Shui. Old grave robbers are experienced and good at geomantic omen, so wherever they go, they should first look at the terrain and see where the ancient tombs that were destroyed on the ground are. As long as it is a real treasure trove of geomantic omen, it is usually a tomb with many treasures inside. Using geomantic omen to guide the determination of unmarked tomb sites on the ground is almost a hit.

According to legend, during the Republic of China, there was a grave-robbing master named Cai in Changsha, and his feng shui was very good. If he goes out and chooses a place, his followers will gather around. Once he went to visit relatives in Ningxiang county and went to a scenic spot. He pointed to a rice field and told his colleagues that there must be a big tomb under this field, and the treasure in the tomb will definitely make you and me rich. None of his colleagues believed him, so the man made a bet with them: if there was no grave, he would lose 1000 dollars.
