Yu Shan smiled and said, "Who dares to steal?" Naturally, there are a lot of them, and they are not ordinary people, just now, do you think the country does not want to steal? β
The Qianling underground palace has not yet been excavated not because it has no discovered value, nor because of the so-called protection of historic sites, but for other reasons.
"Qianling" is the most well-preserved one of the main tombs of the "Eighteen Tombs of the Tang Dynasty", and now the state has made it clear that it will not take the initiative to excavate the emperor's mausoleum, only rescue excavation.
Even so, as of 2013, five burial tombs have been excavated, from which a large number of artifacts have been unearthed.
This is the same as the dragon vein that Yu Shan just said, where Qianling is located, it is a real dragon vein, so the scale is huge.
Legend has it that the Qianling Tomb was built in 684 A.D., that is, the first year of the Tianshun Holy Empress Guangzhai, and it took 23 years to complete, and it was a Kuangshi cemetery built in imitation of Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
Qianling is located on the north peak of Liangshan, the total area of the inner city reaches 2.4 million square meters, the four walls of the inner city are towering, there are four gates of Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, Qinglong and White Tiger in the southeast and northwest, the layout is very reasonable.
There are a total of 17 burial tombs in the Qianling, most of them are the tombs of princes, princesses and important ministers of the imperial court, in the first year of Hongdao (683), Wu Zetian appointed the official department Shangshu Wei to be responsible for the project of Qianling, Li Zhi was buried in August of the following year, and then the Qianling project continued.
In May of the second year of Shenlong (706), Li Xian, the emperor of Tang Dynasty, ordered Wu Zetian to be buried.
The year before, Tang Zhongzong also pardoned the imperial family who had been persecuted to death during the reign of Wu Zetian because of political issues, and reburied them, including Li Xianhui, the princess of Yongtai, Li Chongrun, the prince of Yide, and Li Xian, the prince of Zhanghuai.
In addition, in 706, Qianling also added the burial tombs of Li Sujie, King Xu, Li Shangjin, King Ze, and Li Xiayu, Princess of Yiyang.
There are many burial tombs, and there are many burial goods, so there are a large number of rare treasures here, and there are tens of thousands of them if you make some unprofessional statistics!
Among them, most of them are antique utensils and literary and artistic works that reflect the social life conditions of the time, which can be called a treasure trove of magnificent and wonderful art in ancient China.
Therefore, after it was discovered in 1958, it immediately attracted great attention from the whole society.
The Qianling Tomb is so large, majestic and magnificent, I think it is because the Li Tang Dynasty in the Zhenguan period was strong, so the construction of the emperor's mausoleum is also large-scale, magnificent.
According to famous archaeologists, among the ancient imperial tombs discovered by archaeological experts in the past dynasties, only the Tang Dynasty had the handwriting of opening mountains and building tombs, which also fully proves that the Tang Dynasty was a period when China's comprehensive national strength reached an unprecedented peak in feudal history.
When the Qianling Tomb Road was discovered, it was very well preserved, and no newly excavated robbery holes were found, so some people speculated that the tomb robbers in later generations still had a sense of reverence for Emperor Gaozong who was sleeping in the mausoleum, so the Qianling Tomb was fortunate to become the only mausoleum in the Tang Dynasty that had not been stolen and excavated.
Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about modern people, how many people have respect for Li Zhi and Wu Zetian?
Tang Gaozong Li Zhi was the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the grandson of Tang Guogong Li Yuan, the ninth son of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, and was canonized as the crown prince in the seventeenth year of Zhenguan by Li Shimin, who suffered from the seizure of the throne by the princes.
In the history of the Tang Dynasty, although Li Zhi was cowardly and rarely accomplished, although he was a rather benevolent emperor, his reputation in later generations has been good, but about Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, the people's evaluation of him is generally a "Shoucheng Emperor".
To put it more clearly, it is not so much that people are interested in his political achievements as in the stories between the women of his harem.
It must be known that Tang Gaozong Li Zhi inherited from his father Li Shimin, not only the Jiangshan Sheji of the Tang Dynasty, but also the harem beauties that Li Shimin was quite favored during his lifetime!
Who would have respect for such a person and not dig his grave?
Not to mention that there is also a Wu Zetian who makes many people hate to break his body into thousands of pieces (don't think it's an exaggeration, the royal family and some scholars who were persecuted by Wu Zetian at that time hated to sleep on his skin and eat his flesh).
At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Huangchao planned to rob the tomb, so he mobilized 400,000 troops to dig a ditch more than 40 meters deep, but he did not find the tomb entrance, so he had to give up.
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Wen Tao, the envoy of the Later Liang Chongzhou Festival, organized an army to excavate all the imperial tombs of the Tang Dynasty, and only the Qianling Tomb was spared because of its solid construction.
And now, the republic can't be like the bandits, to force other people's graves, right?
Therefore, there is a group of grave keeper families that have multiplied for thousands of years to stop it, and some shameless people can't continue to dig people's ancestral graves under the guise of archaeology.
"How come I haven't heard of the grave keeper? I heard that the Qianling Tomb was a mausoleum made of hollowing out the entire mountain, and molten iron was poured on the outside, and the folk tomb robbers could not find the entrance, and the state chose not to develop it for the time being without taking measures to protect the cultural relics inside, just like the Terracotta Warriors and Horses only partially developed. "In the waterways.
Yu Shan smiled and said, "Really? Do you believe that? β
Qian Xiaohao knows this kind of thing best, because his grandfather often makes guest appearances as feng shui masters to communicate with others.
Among these people who communicated, there were a lot of earth monkeys, and they often searched for dragon points to discover ancient tombs and steal ancient tombs, and for an emperor's tomb, none of them were not moved.
The earth monkey is the contempt for the tomb robbers in the rivers and lakes, as for what Tufuzi, Zhonglang General, Yuling Lux or something, it was only spread after beautification, they are actually a group of earth monkeys, a group of ground rats that can't see the light.
Such a person can't be on the stage at all, that is, in recent years, the rich man is the uncle, so the earth monkey who can get rich quickly is actually worshipped.
Of course, the earth monkey who does such a thing generally has some ability.
Yu Shan heard a lot about the earth monkeys, and also learned some of the methods of the earth monkeys from Qian Xiaohao, so Yu Shan was very defensive about tomb robbing.
In the Qianling Park, a large number of cultural relics have not been destroyed and stolen and excavated, and a large number of precious stone carvings scattered in the fields or the open air, more than 10 burial tombs and other cultural relics can be safe and sound in the stormy years, which should be attributed to the many unknown "mausoleum keepers" at the foot of the Qianling Tomb.
Cases of theft or excavation of cultural relics in the surrounding areas occur from time to time, and some tomb robbers and cultural relics dealers from other places have also spied on the Qianling Tomb for a long time, and some even mixed with tourists, and came to explore the doorway of the Qianling Underground Palace, etc., but they were all discovered or identified by the local tomb keepers in time and drove away the reads;
These tomb keepers adhered to the ancestral family tradition, formed a special group, consciously and voluntarily guarded the cemetery, and made great contributions to the protection of the Qianling Tomb Cultural Relics.
In various periods of the Tang Dynasty, the government sent a large number of personnel to guard the cemetery, mainly responsible for protecting and repairing the cemetery.
With the passage of time and the change of dynasties, the descendants of these people are thriving around the mausoleum area, silently guarding the cemetery.
They continue to guard the cultural relics on the ground and underground of the Qianling Tomb from generation to generation, and without their decades of silent protection of the treasure, the Qianling Tomb would not be so well preserved.
Although the area of the Qianling Tomb is large, there are more tomb keepers who have bred now, and there are so many people watching that even the national government can't take the mausoleum, so it's not that they don't want to dig it, but the tomb keepers don't let it be dug.
"What do you mean by saying so much? Don't you want to get some grave guards for our ancestral graves? Looking at Yu Shan's distant gaze, Yu Hai said jokingly.
Yu Shan smiled and said, "I would like to, but what strength do we have in our family to be able to find such a loyal grave keeper?" β
"What do other families do? I think that except for the emperor's family, there should be no one who can do this kind of Cheng dΓΉ in Qianling, right? Yu Shui asked.
Yu Shan said: "Naturally, there are not many, and now I know only Qianling, even the pyramids abroad have been dug up, not to mention the ancient tombs in China, and it is not difficult to find loyal tomb keepers."
The easiest, the simplest is to find a family from the branches of the family, which is more than successful, less developed, and loyal and honest, so that they can enjoy the offerings of the clan, and nothing else has to be done, as long as they look at the ancestral tomb. β
"So, you want to do that too?" Yu Shui asked.
Yu Shan pointed to the entire valley outside that wrapped the cemetery and said: "This large valley has all been bought by me, of course, it is rented now, seventy years of property rights, and it cost three and a half million, what will happen if you say that this valley is full of peach trees?" β
"It's a good idea to have an orchard, and it's a good idea to get a family to help us look at the orchard, and the trees are the best protected in the mountains." Yu Hai immediately said.
Yu Shan looked at Yu Hai, but he didn't expect this big brother who looked like a rough man to react really slowly.
"Is it okay to plant peach trees in the graveyard?" Yu Shui asked.
Yu Hai was stunned and said, "What can be the problem?" β
Yu Shui said: "Peach wood wards off evil spirits, and it will make the undead uneasy." β
"Haha, this is inevitable." Yu Shan said with a smile.
Many people agree with this view, believing that planting peach trees in the cemetery is not good in feng shui, because the peach wood is used to ward off evil spirits, and the grave in the cemetery is a place for the activities of the yin spirits, which affects the yin spirits and makes it unfavorable for the family members of the Yang family.
Generally, the cemetery is planted with trees, almost all of which are planted with pines and cypresses, which are evergreen, have a high survival rate, and are insect-proof, implying that they will last forever.
"What are you laughing at? Am I not right? Yu Shui was a little uneasy by Yu Shan's laughter, so he asked.
Yu Shan suppressed his smile and said, "Didn't I say that your worries are right? β
"And what are you laughing at?" Yu Shui said a little angrily.
Yu Shan had to explain: "In fact, these are all things that need to be looked at, the angle of looking at the problem is different, the result is naturally different, there are many customs in various places, like some places, you can't plant poplars in the courtyard, who doesn't have a few poplars here?" Is there less poplar trees in the yard? β
