In recent years, various film and television works and literary works on the theme of tomb robbery have been very popular, and the works of art with such themes are also very attractive. For example, works such as the "Notes on the Tomb Robber" series. We can also learn about the professional terms in the field of tomb robbery such as "Zongzi" in this kind of work. Among them, there are also "southern factions" and "northern factions", and the methods are even more different. But most of the purpose is to accompany the rare treasures of the funeral.
In our ancient country, which has a civilization of thousands of years, the wind of tomb robbery has been repeatedly prohibited. Especially in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the rise of thick burials accelerated the rampant tomb robbery. This situation has also been followed for thousands of years, and even the development of "official thieves" and civilian "scattered thieves".
It is said that Cao Cao fought for many years, and the economic development at that time was limited. In order to ensure the normal logistical supply of the troops, they can only find another way. Therefore, a special unit was selected to rob the tomb for him, so as to obtain funerary goods. Moreover, Cao Cao also set up a special official position for this tomb robbery army, and its descendants can be passed down for thousands of years.
But Guan Yu's tomb has been kept intact for thousands of years, which is also the result of many reasons. Guan Yunchang was a native of Yuncheng, Shanxi, and the head of the Five Tiger Generals during the Three Kingdoms period. He is also a brave and invincible general. It was possible to endure what ordinary people could not tolerate, when Cao Cao and Sun Quan jointly encircled and suppressed. Guan Yu's troops suffered heavy losses, but when they finally lost Maicheng, there were only a few hundred men and horses left. In desperation, Guan Yu led his troops to break through and was ambushed in Linfeng. This god of war, who "crossed five levels and slashed six generals," had now reached the point of exhaustion, and when he was cornered, he was actually captured alive by an unknown youngster.
Sun Quan painstakingly persuaded him to surrender, but Guan Yu did not think so. Instead, he scolded Sun Quan and others, hindering the face and dignity of the Wu monarch, and Sun Quan immediately cut off Guan Yu's head. However, Sun Quan, fearing that Liu Bei would turn back to retaliate, divided Guan Yu's body into several parts. This is also the reason why There are three tombs of Guan Yunchang.
At that time, in order to avoid Liu Bei's pursuit, Sun Quan offered Guan Yu's head to Cao Cao. Cao Cao was a tyrant of a generation, and he was also a man of great talent. Moreover, he also saw Sun Quan's careful thinking, and he greatly admired Guan Yunchang's heavy affection. Therefore, he ordered the people to carve Guan Yu's body with high-quality golden silk nan wood and posthumously crown him as the King of Jing. His funeral was also the specification of the princes, buried outside luoyang, his body was buried by Sun Quan in the north of Dangyang City, and Cao Cao also personally worshipped. Therefore, in the folk, there is still a saying that "the head is in Luoyang, and the body is buried in the yang".
Liu Bei was devastated to hear that his second brother had been killed by Sun Quan, but the corpse at that time had been buried and could not be recovered. In desperation, Liu Bei could only build a crown tomb in Chengdu, which is now a famous scenic spot.
However, for thousands of years, these three tombs have not been touched, and it is reasonable to say that Cao Cao Sun Quan buried Guan Yu in the number of ceremonies after the death of the princes, and Liu Bei was even more close to him, so there should be a lot of treasures in these three tombs. But all three tombs have been preserved intact for thousands of years. Because the folk have the rule of "three no thieves", that is, "Bao Zheng; Guan Yu; Yue Fei" The tombs of these three people do not touch the rules. And the grave robbers are either venting their anger or for treasure. As Guan Yunchang's person, later generations have already revered him as a "heavenly god" or "door god". Posterity admires his loyalty and courage, and naturally does not move his tomb.
Although these three tombs are buried in the size of princes, they do not actually have many treasures. Cao Cao was a famous slammer, and he was reluctant to put valuable funerary items in his tomb, and it was even more unlikely that guan Yu's tomb would have a large number of treasures. Sun Quan is even more unlikely, because he wants to marry Guan Yu and marry someone else's daughter as a daughter-in-law. However, guan Yu refused, and the outspoken Guan Yu scolded the people who came to propose to him. After all, Sun Quan was the monarch of the State of Wu, and he must have a grudge against such an insult. This back and forth, the grudge has long been settled. Therefore, Sun Quan was even less likely to put more valuable funerary goods on Guan Yu's body. Although Liu Bei was Guan Yu's closest relative, he was in love with his brothers and sisters. But at that time, Liu Bei was already in the river, and in Chengdu, it was only a crown tomb, and the real corpse was not in it, and naturally there were no too many funerary items.
Since ancient times, tomb robbers have used almost all kinds of means to accompany the burial goods, such as Cixi's tomb was looted by the "Tanglin Thieves" during the Republic of China. The pearls buried in her tomb were later inlaid on slippers by Song Meiling, and other treasures were scattered throughout the world. Li Hongzhang's body was also pulled out of the coffin, tied to a tractor and walked through the streets and alleys, and the corpse was also whipped to vent his anger. In the final analysis, the reason why Guan Yu's tomb can be well preserved is because there are no valuable funerary products in it, coupled with the fact that people gradually "mythologized" Guan Yu during the Ming and Qing dynasties, which made Guan Yu add another layer of mystery and the veil of heavenly gods.
