In 84 BC, just four years after Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was buried, it can be said that his bones were not cold, but his tomb had been stolen and the contents had been "listed". Zigong, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, had a jade box and a jade staff, which were presented by Xihu, the king of Kangqu, and actually appeared in the market. Things finally went away, but it was certain that Maoling was stolen.
In 64 BC, a very absurd thing happened. There is a herbalist named Li You in Shanxi. He happened to find a gold box in the cave, which contained the scriptures buried in the mausoleum of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. How did this gold box, together with the jade staff and jade box before, come out? This is still a mystery.
In 25 AD, the 30 th Battalion of the Red Eyed Army invaded Chang 'an, and the first thing they did after entering the city was looting. After Chang 'an City was looted, the Red Eyebrow Army came to Xianyang to dig the tomb of Han Empress and collect treasures. The 200-year-old cultural relics of Xijing Chang 'an were almost destroyed. Liang Wudi's mausoleum is of course doomed. According to historical records, after the Red Eyebrow Army dug up the tomb, thousands of foot soldiers removed the treasures from the tomb. It has been moved for dozens of days, but "the things in the mausoleum still cannot be halved."
In 26 AD, the Red Eyebrow Army visited Maoling again. At that time, they were defeated by the insurgents led by Liu Xiu. They had no choice but to retreat to Xianyang. Many soldiers deserted, more unstable, and stole Maoling.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo ordered the general Lu Bu to rob the tombs of the Western Han Dynasty. As for the details of Lu Bu's grave robbery, there is no record and it is unknown.
The biggest catastrophe was in 88 1 year, when Huang Chao's army invaded Chang 'an. In order to raise wages, they targeted Maoling. The Mausoleum was robbed this time, and the rebels carried it for three days. Perhaps there are too many treasures, and a large number of gold and silver utensils are scattered around Maoling.
