The book does not give a detailed explanation of the three major schools of tomb robbing, but now this chapter will systematically explain the three major schools of tomb robbery, as well as systematically summarize the black words and tools about the inverted bucket.

First of all, he is the leader of the three major sects of the inverted bucket, and he touches the golden captain. Touching the gold school is a sect of tomb robbers in ancient China. According to historical records, the Captain of the Touching Gold originated in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Cao Cao, the leader of the Wei army, in order to make up for the lack of military salaries, set up the rank of Captain Zhonglang of Faqiu, Captain of the Touching Jin, etc., specializing in robbing tombs to obtain wealth and subsidizing the military. The tomb robbery mainly relies on observing feng shui to distinguish the weather, and takes the Book of Changes as the purpose to locate the acupuncture points of the ancient tomb.

The origin of the school captain can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty. Yongcheng Mangdang Mountain West Han King Mausoleum Group, located in Yongcheng Mangdang Mountain, from the Han Liang Xiao King Liu Wu time, basically all the kings of Liang are buried here. King Liang Xiao is the grandson of Liu Bang, the son of Emperor Wen of Han, and the younger brother of Brother Jing. The biggest regret of King Liang Xiao's life is that he did not make it to the Ninth Five-Year Plan.

Since he could not "realize his dream" in this world, King Xiao of Liang planned to go to another world to fulfill his unfinished wish: to build a huge mausoleum, so that he could live the emperor's addiction after death.

The tomb of King Liang Xiao, the wife of King Liang Xiao: the tomb of Queen Li and so on cut the mountain as a corridor, through the mountain for Tibet, the project is vast, the scale is large, the formation age is earlier than the Ming Ming Tombs 1300 years, the construction scale is greater than the Ming Ming Tombs four times, it is praised as "the first mausoleum of the stone chamber in the world" by the Chinese and foreign archaeological circles, and the mausoleum is equipped with the most primitive ice cellar in China and the earliest toilet toilet. The tomb is carved into the mountain, the scale is large, and the murals of the Han tomb are praised by experts as "Dunhuang before Dunhuang".

The iconic tomb of this tomb complex is the tomb of Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao. Liu Wu is the son of Emperor Wen and the younger brother of Emperor Jing, sitting on 300 miles of rivers and mountains, rich and rivaling the country. The majestic shape of Liu Wu's mausoleum and the richness of the accompanying burial are breathtaking.

In any sense, Liu Wu, the filial king of Han Liang, was a tragic figure.

King Xiao of Liang lived in the famous prosperous era of "Wenjing Zhizhi" in the history of our country. To a certain extent, it is precisely because of his participation that there is "the rule of Wenjing". But after all, the "rule of Wenjing" is not the "rule of filial piety".

Although King Liang Xiao is extremely intelligent, his dream is destined to be unrealized. His sorrow was that he had a very capable father and an equally great brother, both of whom were capable enough to govern the country well. Even if there is a regret, you are the son of Emperor Wen and the younger brother of Emperor Jing, Liu Wu, the king of Liang Xiao, still enjoys preferential treatment beyond the ordinary.

According to the "Zizhi Tongjian": "(King Xiao of Liang) every time he entered the court, the envoy held the festival to welcome the king of Liang under the pass. Even then, the pampering is incomparable, and when you enter, you will serve the same chariot, and you will go out with the car, and you will shoot and hunt in the forest. "Sitting in the same car with Emperor Jing, what kind of specifications is that! It is said that Empress Dowager Dou's favorite son is King Liang Xiao, and Emperor Jing also likes this capable brother very much, so Empress Dowager Dou, Emperor Jing, and King Liang Xiaowang's mother and son often eat and drink together. In 155 B.C., the mother and son drank together again, and when the wine was hot and the family affection was rippling, Emperor Jing couldn't help but say: "Long live the thousand autumns and pass it on to the king." ”

Emperor Jing meant that after his death, he would pass on the throne of emperor to King Xiao of Liang. In many cases, the words in the wine field are just words, and no one will take them completely seriously. Liang Xiaowang certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to believe this, but who doesn't like to listen to good words? The king thanked him. Although I know that it is not true, I am happy in my heart. The same is true of the Queen Mother. It's just that the purpose of letting King Xiao die is that he did not realize his imperial dream until the end of his life, and he regretted it before he died, so King Liang Xiao built his own mausoleum as luxurious as the emperor's royal tomb. The tomb of King Liang Xiao is halfway up the mountain on the east side of Baoan Mountain in the Mangdang Mountain Group, sitting west and facing east, 20 meters away from the top of the mountain. The widest point of the tomb of King Liang Xiao from north to south (from the north wall of the north ear chamber of the cloister to the south wall of the south ear chamber of the cloister) is 32.4 meters, and the highest point is 3 meters, with a total area of about 650 square meters and a total volume of about 1367 cubic meters. The whole tomb is composed of a tomb passage, a corridor, a main chamber, a cloister and more than 10 side chambers, ear chambers, corner chambers and drainage systems. A cloister was built around the main chamber, and the east end of the cloister was connected to the main chamber. The four corners of the cloister have transepts, which are of the same size. In the corridor, there are cross streets, drinking horse springs, Heishui River, etc. It is easy to get lost walking between the cloister and the various chambers, and it is said that there were people who could not walk out of the tomb of King Liang Xiao for several days after entering the tomb.

Unlike other tombs of King Liang of the Han Dynasty, there is a huge dormitory building in front of the tomb of King Xiao of Liang of Han. These buildings were built to worship the tomb owner and were managed by special personnel. According to the rules of the time, only the mausoleum of the emperor was eligible to build a dormitory. The reason why the tomb of King Liang Xiao was built with a sleeping garden is, of course, because he has never forgotten his imperial dream.

In the Western Han Dynasty, since Emperor Jingdi, there were mausoleums built after the emperor's tombs. In general, the cemetery is a microcosm of Miyagi. The early Han Dynasty dormitory was in the cemetery, located near the mausoleum, and belonged to the main ceremonial building of the mausoleum, also known as the mausoleum. The dormitory is mainly used for sacrifices.

Generally, the royal tombs are built with huge stones after splitting the mountain, but the tomb of King Liang Xiao is not like this. The tomb of King Xiao of Liang "cut the mountain to make a silhouette, wear the stone for hiding", the vastness of the project, the uniqueness of the structure, the symmetry of the layout, are rare.

After thousands of years of wind and frost, now looking at the tomb of King Liang Xiao, you can still see the grandeur of the year. The foundation site of King Liang Xiao's dormitory is basically well preserved, 100 meters long from north to south, 50 meters wide from east to west, covering an area of about 5,000 square meters. The main building site is composed of a vestibule, a wall wall, a main hall, a matching room, a patio, a dormitory, and a kitchen. On the periphery of the base of the building is a corridor with a one-sided eaves, and on the outside is a perimeter wall of the dormitory.

The foundation of the dormitory is made of bluestone, and there are bluestone steps before and after the main hall. The entire site is covered with fragments of Jomon slabs, Jane tiles, and some moire tiles. The ridge of the cylinder tile in the middle of the base is stamped with the word "filial piety", indicating that this is specially fired for the construction of the sleeping garden of King Xiaowang of Liang. All in all, the tomb of King Xiao of Liang is a large stone cliff tomb that was excavated relatively early, which is composed of a tomb road, a road, a doorway, a main room, a toilet room, a corridor, etc., and is built according to the tomb specifications of the emperor of the Han Dynasty. The tomb of King Liang Xiao takes the main chamber as the center, and takes the tomb road and Yongdao as the central axis, and uses the traditional above-ground building layout in China underground. This shows that the craftsmen at that time had mastered several advanced production techniques: first, they had accumulated rich experience in quarrying; Second, the drainage facilities are very reasonable, which shows that there was enough understanding of the direction of the mountain and the flow of the mountain at that time; Third, the tomb is symmetrical from north to south, and the four walls of each tomb are vertical, and the angle of the chamber is at right angles, indicating that the craftsmen have more advanced surveying and mapping technology and surveying tools.

Among the ancient tombs currently excavated in our country, it is still very rare to have a bedroom building at the princely level. The discovery of the foundation site of the tomb of King Xiao of Liang is of great value for the study of the architectural layout of the ancient royal palace. Cao Cao sent troops to rob the tomb of King Liang in the early days of the Three Kingdoms Struggle, and Cao Cao's sphere of influence was still very small. Sometimes, the city that has been laid down is often replaced by a new owner before it has time to rest. The turf "Towards Qin and Twilight" is nothing new. No one knows how long they will be able to stay on the territory they occupy. As a result, the cities that were laid down were often looted. In such a situation, it is difficult for the army to achieve the purpose of rest and recuperation. The warlord scuffle prevented Cao Cao's army from resting for a long time, and displaced peasants saw spring planting but could not wait for the autumn harvest. It's like a pot of rice that has just been made, but in the blink of an eye, it has become someone else's meal. As a result, raising military salaries in a short period of time became a prerequisite for the princes to fight everywhere. In order to solve his own food and salary problem, Cao Cao set his sights on the ancient profession of tomb robbing. As we all know, in the middle of the Western Han Dynasty, after the peaceful and prosperous era of the rule of Wenjing, the social productive forces were fully utilized, and the economic prosperity made it a common practice at that time. This also provided conditions for Cao Cao to steal graves and dig graves, and steal gold and silver treasures to replenish military salaries. The official positions of "Faqiu Zhonglang General" and "Touching Gold Captain" who specialized in tomb robbery came into being in Cao Cao's army.

According to common sense, this is not a glorious business, but the so-called "big line does not care about the details, and the big gifts do not give up." "Cao Mengde, who has the world in mind, as long as the army can eat and win battles, where does he care about infamy on his back. Lu Xun once said, "Cao Cao set up staff such as 'Touching Jin' to rob tombs." A more accurate record is that Chen Lin, a famous man under Yuan Shao at that time and one of the "Seven Sons of Jian'an", said in an article issued before Yuan Shao's attack on Cao Cao: "The special Faqiu Zhonglang General and the Captain of the Golden Colonel have passed through the abrupt and unrevealed. This text has become a famous text in ancient and modern times.

It is said that Cao Cao, who was suffering from head wind, was shocked into a cold sweat after seeing it, and his head immediately stopped hurting. According to Chen Lin's article, Cao Cao should have stolen the tombs of King Xiao of Han Liang in Mangdang Mountain, Yongcheng. Cao Cao's soldiers in the Three Kingdoms period should have been the first tomb robbers to enter the tomb of King Liang of the Han Dynasty. Each tomb in the tomb group of the Han Liang King was sealed with a large number of thousands of kilograms of plug stones, so it was difficult for ordinary tomb robbers to enter the tomb even if they found the exact location of the tomb. In order to obtain the treasures in the tomb, Cao Cao used a huge military force. But even then, it was not easy to enter the burial chamber, and the soldiers had to chisel with a hammer and clean it up little by little.

Chen Lin specifically described the scene of Cao Cao personally commanding his soldiers to excavate the tomb of King Xiao of Liang. The text said: "(Cao) Cao handsome generals and soldiers, came to excavate in person, broke the coffin and naked corpse, and plundered the gold treasure. It made the holy pilgrimage weep and the people sad. "Commentary on the Book of Water" said: "Cao led the troops into the Dang, sent Liang Xiaowang Mound, broke the coffin, and collected tens of thousands of catties of gold treasures." ”

It is difficult to imagine what Cao Cao's subordinates saw when they entered the tomb. According to historical records, Cao Cao used the treasures stolen from the tomb to feed his army for three years. The Western Han Dynasty prevailed in the style of thick burials, but those with a solid family background had to bring some treasures to another world, not to mention the eight generations and nine kings such as King Liang Xiao, who had three hundred miles of rivers and mountains and was rich and rivaled the country?

It is rumored that Chen Lin joined Cao Cao's group after Yuan Shao's defeat. Cao Cao once expressed dissatisfaction with Chen Lin's exposure of his ancestors in this article, but seemed to acquiesce in his criticism of the excavation of the tomb. The so-called "Faqiu Zhonglang General" and "Touching Jin Lieutenant" may indeed be true. From this point of view, Cao Cao's tomb robbery is an indisputable fact.
