Located in Furong District, Changsha, Hunan Province, mawangdui Han Tomb is the tomb of Li Cang, the king of Changsha, and his family in the early Western Han Dynasty. The discovery of the Mawangdui Han Tomb provides important information for the study of the burial system in the early Han Dynasty, the development of handicrafts and science and technology, as well as the historical, cultural and social systems of changsha, known as the Pompeii of the East. In the tomb of Mawangdui, a large number of cultural relics have been excavated, including 3 maps. For many years, however, the archaeological department has published only two of them. What is the secret of this third map, and why has it not been announced so far? Next, let Xiaobian reveal the secret for you:

The picture has nothing to do with the content, please do not enter the seat) Mawangdui Han Tomb, mainly composed of Tomb No. 1: The Tomb of Lady Xin Chai; Tomb No. 2: Tomb of Li Cang ZaiXiang. Tomb No. 3: The Tomb of Li Feng, the son of Li Cang. Of the three, Tomb No. 3 was badly damaged, but some artifacts were still unearthed. However, because tomb No. 2 was stolen many times, when archaeologists opened it, they found that it was already an empty tomb, and there were basically few cultural relics left. However, why is tomb No. 1, which is larger in size, not excavated by the tomb robbers at all? Is it true that all the tomb robbers of all generations have looked away? Of course not.
After liberation, for archaeological excavations, the archaeological team once "recruited" several famous Tufuzi in Changsha. Among them, there is a very famous Xie Fuzi who revealed to us the reason why Tomb No. 1 was not stolen. In fact, Tomb No. 1 was really discovered by tomb robbers very early, but I don't know why, among the tomb robbers, there are always rumors that there must be treasures in Tomb No. 1, but they must not be stolen. At that time, Xie Fuzi was young and vigorous, and he did not believe these rumors very much. One day, on a dark night when five fingers were out of sight, Xie Fuzi and a few of his men agreed to assemble under a large tree near Tomb No. 1 to prepare to dig Tomb No. 1. Before leaving, they loaded their tools into a carriage, and a man was responsible for driving the carriage over. There was no traffic jam on the road that day, and the carriage arrived half an hour early.
As soon as Xie Fuzi saw that everyone had arrived, he didn't wait. They came to the top of Tomb One and prepared to take turns digging holes. But it didn't take long to dig, and suddenly the dark sky was thick with dark clouds, and then, lightning and thunder began. Suddenly, a large thunder "clicked" and hit the big tree they had just gathered. In other words, if it were not for the early arrival of the carriage loaded with tools, they would not have been able to escape the explosion of the mine just now. Then I began to dig, but before I could dig deeper, it suddenly began to rain heavily in the sky, and after a while, the water in the cave was one or two feet deep. There was no drainage on the spot, and They had to finish their work. When they came back the next day, They were all stupid, and the well-behaved robbery hole dug yesterday had been basically filled in by silt and sand after a night of rain erosion. As a tomb robber, Xie Fuzi was bold enough, but in the face of this series of strange things, he also had to give up the idea of excavating Tomb No. 1.
Since then, no one has dared to play the idea of Tomb No. 1. Because of this, Tomb No. 1 has left more than a thousand precious cultural relics such as the well-preserved body of the tomb owner, Mrs. Xin Chai, the T-shaped non-cloth painting and the plain gauze shirt weighing only 49 grams. Among these artifacts, there are three more maps, which are extremely precious, especially the last one. All three maps were placed in a rectangular lacquer box, which had been broken and broken into multiple pieces when they were unearthed. Later, after a series of restorations, archaeologists successfully stripped the pieces and spliced them together to restore them. What are these three maps draw? The first is called a topographic map, which depicts one of the Western Han Dynasty princely states, the southern part of the State of Changsha. The map uses lines with varying thicknesses to draw more than 30 local rivers in detail, and some of them are also named at the mouth of the river. Mountains, settlements, etc., are all marked with different lines.
The second is called "Garrison Map", drawn in three colors of Tian Qing, Red and Black, mainly focusing on settlements and local army deployment, and marked with the garrisons of 9 armies, not only with black and red double line check boxes, but also separately indicated, which is "Zhou Du Wei Jun", which is "Xu Du Wei Jun" and other information. These two maps have been published by the relevant departments, and everyone can see them in the museum. But the third map, researchers have always been secretive. Why? What is painted on the third map?
The third map after the restoration really surprised the archaeologists. Because this map is not painted on anything else, it is actually a map of the distribution of tombs and temple buildings at that time. That is to say, if this map falls into the hands of tomb robbers, they do not have to take the compass to study, and then use the Luoyang shovel to excavate little by little, and even by guessing, they can determine the location of the underground tomb. Those experienced tomb robbers, as long as they follow the signs on the map to find the Han tomb, are guaranteed to find a quasi-child. Because of this, the third map has never revealed its true appearance, and has always been kept as a core secret by the relevant departments and kept in secret. Because once this map is leaked, the ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty in changsha will inevitably be looted by tomb robbers.
