The ancient tomb in the water contains 3,000 swords, which Qin Shi Huang could not steal, and experts found the mystery after draining the water
China is an ancient and mysterious country, and the iteration of history has made it have many unknown secrets, strange people and strange things, dynastic secrets, scenic spots, poems, paintings and calligraphy, and so on. Not everything that is curious can be declassified, or it is necessary to keep searching to find the final answer.
A spring and autumn period tomb in Suzhou, because of its unique features have attracted the attention of the world. Legend has it that this tomb is extremely valuable, and there are 3,000 precious swords in the tomb, which has attracted people to open the tomb and grab it in the course of historical changes.
Who is the owner of the tomb?
The owner of this tomb is Wu Wang lu, the overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period. According to historical records, Lu Lu secretly sent people to assassinate his cousin, the wu king at that time, and finally ascended the throne as king. During the reign of King Lu of Wu, he appointed liangxian Wu Zixu, Sun Wu and others to lead the State of Wu to attack the State of Chu, threatening the four directions and making the State of Wu flourish for a while.
Unfortunately, the man with the strategy of the wise man died during the conquest of the Kingdom of Yue, and his son Fu Cha succeeded his father as the new King of Wu. Wu Wang Lu was a man who liked swords very much, and it is said that the sword "Fish Gut Sword" was used when assassinating the successor.
Fu Cha spent a lot of manpower and material resources for his father to build this cemetery. Outside the sword pond there is a "Thousand People Stone", which is said to be covered with purple-brown marks on the blood of the craftsmen who were killed at that time, so as not to let them divulge the secrets of the cemetery. There are many treasures in the tomb, and Fu Cha also buried three thousand famous swords of Wu Guo in the tomb to comfort his father's spirit in heaven.
It is recorded in the Book of Yue Jie that the tomb of King Wu was built in the water of the Sword Pond under the Tiger Hill Mountain and buried very deeply. The three thousand swords in the tomb, each of which is extremely valuable, their unparalleled value has attracted many people's attention to them, and they are eager to try, but they have not succeeded in getting them, which has allowed these swords to pass down to this day.
People's attachment to the sword pool throughout the ages
Fu Cha attacked and occupied the yue kingdom, but in the end he was defeated by his arrogance and arrogance, and in turn destroyed the state of Wu. In order to repay the humiliation suffered at that time, Gou Jian tried to dig up the tomb of King Wu to vent his anger, and as a result, he wasted the power of the nine bulls and two tigers, and even the tomb was not found, and finally he could only return in defeat.
By the time of Qin Shi Huang, he was also interested in the sword in the tomb of King Wu. During a trip, Qin Shi Huang, who was very happy, passed by Tiger Hill and thought of finding the 3,000 famous swords, and as a result, he met the "tomb keeper", a tiger, in the process of fighting, Qin Shi Huang's sword fell into the water, and since then there have been 3,001 swords in this "sword pool".
During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan of Eastern Wu was moved to hear about the three thousand swords of the sword pool, and in order to obtain these precious swords, he worked hard to mobilize the crowd and sent soldiers to try to lift the boulder at the entrance of the tomb, and like his predecessors, there was no result and he returned without success.
And in the Ming Dynasty, things that people couldn't believe happened. Legend has it that in 1512, the "sword pond" of The Tomb of King Wu suddenly dried up, a scene that had never happened in a thousand years. Many people rushed over to see the true appearance of the sword pool, and even entered the bottom of the sword pool to watch. There are many literati, and the cabinet ministers still have inscriptions in it.
Mysteries in ancient tombs
At that time, in order to prevent tomb robbers from coveting, Fu Cha really took pains to build the mausoleum. The place seen in the tomb was filled with mercury, and the outer pit was filled with water to become a pool. Because of the humid climate of Suzhou in the south, the pool has always been covered on the tomb, becoming an important barrier to protect the tomb, and it is precisely because of this that many tomb robbers are discouraged.
At that time, the technical means could not find a good way to enter the mausoleum without destroying the tomb door, so the tomb of King Wu was completely preserved to this day, and it has not been destroyed for thousands of years.
In 1995, experts used technical means to drain the water in the sword pond and conduct archaeological exploration. At the bottom of the sword pond, people actually found the inscriptions of Wang Jun, Tang Bohu and other literati inkers, which also showed that the incident of the sword pool drying up for no reason recorded at that time was correct.
In 1978, archaeologists drained the pond again, this time to find the tomb door. Last time, the experts did not make any big moves on the mausoleum, and in the case of the real historical background, if the tomb of King Wu was really under the sword pool, then it must be complete. After cleaning up the silt at the bottom of the sword pool, someone had a triangular cave at the bottom. After a few days of work, the narrow opening was finally enlarged to a one-man height.
Entering the cave, there are three stone slabs in the cave to hinder the progress, which is likely to be human behavior, depending on the location of the stones. The legendary tomb door is right in front of you, but you can't dig it casually. Because there is an ancient pagoda of the Song Dynasty not far away, the Tiger Hill Pagoda, if excavated forcefully, it may damage the foundation of the ancient pagoda and cause it to collapse.
At that time, the technology was not enough to support the safe development of the ancient tomb, in order to completely preserve the precious cultural heritage of the two countries, so that the cultural relics would not be destroyed, and finally the state decided to temporarily stop the excavation of the tomb. At this point, the excavation of the tomb of Lu Lu was temporarily over, and the secret of the three thousand swords could not be known.
Cultural relics
For five thousand years, how many stories have faded in the ripples of the great river, and how many stranded starfish and shells, like stars left in the sky, shine on the river beach at night until they are discovered.
People search for the specks left by their predecessors, trying to find the stories that are fascinating and the treasures that are precious. History has aged, and what is not old is the forward spirit of daring to explore. Those rare treasures have always attracted countless people to visit and work for them until now.
There are many undeveloped tombs like the Tomb of King Wu, and there are great expectations for the treasures in the tombs. However, because of the geographical conditions, the tomb can not be excavated, which is also a good way to protect cultural relics, and when the future archaeological technology is more mature, the secret of 3,000 swords can be presented to the world.
The matter of Wu Wang's tomb also tells the world that there is no need to pursue the unknown past too much, and when this matter is hindered, preservation may be a new way of thinking, so that not only can the rare treasures of the tomb be preserved, but also the ancient pagoda can be saved from suffering. The cultural heritage of our country is innumerable, and these are just a drop in the ocean.
Today's Sword Pond has become a tourist attraction, and from the small bridge above the Sword Pond, you can overlook the entire Sword Pond, which looks historical and full of mystery, and the Sword Pond echoes the ancient tower not far away.
This ancient tomb has been baptized by history, sparkling and dappled, although it does not let people see the whole picture, but the mysterious color still attracts many people to visit and want to see its wonders.
