Tomb robbers are a hateful existence, but in history, tomb robbers also have a very nice name - Captain Touching Gold. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Cao Cao was a sect founded by Cao Cao, who founded the Tujin Colonel in order to steal the tomb of Liang Xiaowang of the Liang State of the Western Han Dynasty. Liang Xiaowang's name is Liu Wu, legend has it that Liang Xiaowang was particularly greedy for money before his death, so the tomb of Liang Xiaowang has a nickname of "Golden Tomb", and it is said that the tomb of Liang Xiaowang is full of gold, and those who can enter the tomb of Liang Xiaowang will be rich in the world. Later, in order to alleviate the pressure of military salaries, Cao Cao founded the Lieutenant of Touching Gold, entered the tomb of King Xiao of Liang, and stole 72 ships of gold. The tomb of King Xiao of Liang was discovered by archaeologists in 1994, and this historically recorded "golden tomb" was revived.
Liu Wu, the Prince of Liang, was the grandson of Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao, when the State of Liang was known as "occupying the land of anointing the world", according to the records in the "Records of History", after the death of King Xiao of Liang, there were still more than 400,000 catties of gold hidden in his royal palace, so much gold, even today's son of heaven is difficult not to be moved. Liu Wu's status was very honorable, and he made great contributions to the Han Dynasty, so the Han Jing Emperor also favored him. The mausoleum of King Xiao of Liang adopted the scale of the emperor's mausoleum, which shows how much attention King Xiao of Liang was in history, and if it were not for the urgent need for military supplies at that time, Cao Cao would not have entered the tomb of King Xiao of Liang with lieutenant Jin.
This mausoleum has been "emptied" by Cao Cao in history, but archaeologists still do not give up after discovering the tomb of Liang Xiaowang and want to go inside to find out. This probe also revealed a "2.4 billion" cultural relics - the golden jade coat. Wearing this golden jade robe, it should be the famous Liang Xiaowang, this tomb is indeed as recorded in history, the scale of the mausoleum is very large, but the burial goods are extremely few, which is inconsistent with the identity of liang xiaowang. It seems that this tomb was really invaded by Cao Cao, and there were almost no gold objects in the tomb. The rest of the funerary items are also exquisite cultural relics, but the most valuable is this golden jade coat.
In fact, there have been many counterfeiting incidents in history, one of the most famous of which is the "Golden Jade Clothing Incident", when the cultural relics collector Xie Genrong wanted to create a cultural relics himself, so he started the idea of golden jade clothing. Xie Genrong painted 20,000 yuan to buy a large number of materials for making golden jade clothes, and then began to ask craftsmen to work with him to make them. After making the golden jade coat, he also invited a number of well-known experts such as the very authoritative cultural relics appraisal experts at that time, the former vice president of the Palace Museum, to identify its value, and these experts did not carefully look at the golden jade coat, and wrote an appraisal worth 2.4 billion yuan for this golden jade cloth.
Xie Genrong took this appraisal and went to the bank to make a loan, hoping to get a sum of money to fill the gap in his business. After the bank saw this authoritative appraisal, it believed that there was really 2.4 billion yuan in this golden jade coat, so it released a loan of 700 million yuan for Xie Genrong. This matter was not discovered until after this golden jade coat was exhibited to the public, and after another appraisal, the origin of this golden jade coat was exposed, and the people involved in the case were arrested. Therefore, when there are golden jade clothes in the future, there will always be people who think of this matter, so as to be vigilant against the counterfeiting of cultural relics.
Although the ancient tomb of King Xiao of Liang was emptied by Cao Cao, people could not see the original appearance of the "Golden Tomb" again, but Cao Cao, as the originator of the Lieutenant who touched the gold, this is the mausoleum they once excavated, and now it has become a tourist attraction, and everyone wants to come here to see the tomb where Cao Cao once came. During the Han Dynasty, this was once the feng shui treasure of the imperial family, so in addition to the tomb of King Xiao of Liang, there are also the tombs of Liang Gong, queens, etc. These ancient tombs of the Western Han Dynasty are precious historical materials, further improving the physical materials of the tomb forms of princes in the Western Han Dynasty.
