Qianling is a unique tomb of two emperors and a husband and wife emperor in China and even in the world, which buried the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Gaozong Li Zhi and empress Wu Zetian, in more than a thousand years, there were 17 recorded large-scale tomb robberies, 3 times of particularly large scale, but these tomb robberies eventually ended in failure.
In fact, according to the technology we have now scientists master, simply excavating any ancient mausoleum is not a problem, scientists mainly consider how to maintain the original appearance of ancient cultural relics, how to not go against the will of the people.
For a mausoleum like Qianling, which is huge in scale and of worldwide archaeological value, it is not something that scientists can dig if they want to.
Guo Moruo, an expert on ancient cultural relics, once proposed in a conversation with the premier that there will certainly be many calligraphy and painting books in Qianling, and perhaps Wu Zetian's "Hanging Arch Collection" and ten volumes of "Golden Wheel Collection" are also in it, and the most important thing is that Wu Zetian's portrait and the handwriting of Shangguan Wan'er, the "Prime Minister of the Towel", can be seen in the sky, which is really a major event that breaks the earth and has unparalleled value for archaeologists to study the history of the Tang Dynasty.
In my opinion, if Guo Moruo did not mention the amount of gold and silver jewelry in the tomb, in fact, it is not difficult to imagine that as soon as qianling is opened, the treasures and stones in it will inevitably shock the world.
The prime minister did not agree to Guo Moruo's proposal, but left it all to posterity to solve.
Long history, how many ups and downs? Is it not only Guo Moruo who is interested in Qianling? Who doesn't want to have a full eye for many generations?
At the time of the peasant uprising at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao used tens of thousands of rebel troops to excavate on the west side of Liangshan, but unexpectedly, the rubble on the west side was only a blind spot, deliberately left behind, and the results can be imagined.
Shi Zai five generations of Yaozhou stabbed Shi Wentao, stole more than a dozen Tang Dynasty mausoleums, and was helpless in the face of Qianling. In the early years of the Republic of China, the Kuomintang general Sun Lianzhong, under the guise of military exercises, carried out destructive excavations of Qianling, and even used explosives, and finally blew up several layers of rocks.
At present, many experts believe that Qianling is the only tomb in the Eighteen Tombs of the Tang Dynasty that has not been stolen and excavated, the reason is that the Qianling Tomb Road is complete, and the Tomb Road, directly from the belly of Shishan mountain, is directly chiseled into the underground palace, which is very difficult, as to whether the facts are really as experts speculate, only until the day when the Qianling Tomb is opened.
Wait, didn't you just say that several large-scale tomb robberies have not found the entrance to the tomb? Now how did the experts determine the location of the entrance to the cemetery?
In fact, in the 1960s, several local old farmers inadvertently set off cannons and stones near Liangshan, and as a result, they found the entrance to the tomb without coincidence, which was later confirmed by experts to be the entrance to the underground palace, which must also be a state secret.
For any ancient imperial tomb, the entrance to the burial chamber is like a key, and with this key, the first step of excavation is opened.
Moreover, they believe that the excavation of Qianling is an official act of the local government, in the "Tang Qianling Excavation Plan" that has spent hundreds of thousands of words, many scientific and archaeological experts participating, and is extremely cautious and rigorous, it is pointed out: The so-called excavation is the use of high-tech technology in a closed environment to block the effective measures of air circulation, only two sterile staff (or high-definition robots) carrying oxygen cylinder breathing equipment are allowed to enter the cemetery underground palace, and even if the excavation is successful, even if the excavation is successful, as for how to protect, How to exhibit, must be based on the recovered data, that is the matter that needs to be considered in the future, how can such excavations be harmful to cultural relics?
In fact, after understanding the experts' statements, we can also see their eagerness to mine, they are eager to expose the cultural relics in Qianling to the world, or to prove their profound knowledge, so they infer what cultural relics will be in Qianling?
What is there in the dungeon?
In the Qianling Underground Palace, as for how many cultural relics there are, after so many years of exploration and investigation, a senior cultural relics worker deduced that the strips of stones with different shapes in those tombs must be rare cultural relics, in addition to these strips of stones, other funerary cultural relics are estimated to be hundreds of tons.
Gold, silver and bronze ware, needless to say, will inevitably be carried with the same car, in addition to these sacrificial utensils, the most interesting thing for the world is the top-level national treasure, Wang Xizhi's authentic "Orchid Pavilion Sequence" is likely to be in the Qianling Tomb, because before Wen Tao stolen the Zhaoling Tomb, the list of treasures unearthed, there is no "Orchid Pavilion Order".
In short, the reason why no one can go in Wu Zetian's Qianling for nearly a hundred years is that the current technology can not completely protect the excavated cultural relics as they are, the excavation is destructive excavation, there is no need to consider whether the cultural relics are as they are, the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of the Qin Emperor's Mausoleum are colored when they are just unearthed, and soon after contact with the air, it becomes the color of the earth, which is already a loss of the cultural relics industry, and scientists do not want Qianling to repeat the same mistakes. As for what exactly is in wu Zetian's mausoleum, it is speculated that no one knows, but it is undeniable that the Qianling chosen by Yuan Tiangang must be a treasure of feng shui.
Qian is the heaven for the yang, Kun is the earth for the yin, yin and yang are combined, it is the birth of all things, the buried, the one who takes advantage of the anger, the hidden wind and the sudden qi, and the water as the top, so the buried person takes the left as the green dragon, the right as the white tiger, the former suzaku, and the rear Xuanwu.
