Before the Ming and Qing dynasties, ancient emperors had to be buried alive when they died, and concubines who did not have children were also buried for the emperor, which is why the ancient harems were busy competing for favors, because they could only save their lives if they gave birth to imperial heirs. The ancients were more superstitious, they believed that after death, people went to another world, and in order to continue the blessings and glory and wealth of their own life, the emperor would have a lot of valuable funerary goods and living burials.
Although it seems to us that the use of living people to be buried is very inhumane, but in ancient times this is a very common situation, some large families or relatives of the emperor will be buried with livestock and living people, and some bad habits will be buried with virgin boys and girls, which is very cruel. In fact, this bad habit is caused by people's greed, and the reason why they do this is to continue their wealth and continue to another world to still be able to enjoy everything they once had.
With the excavation of more and more ancient tombs and the excavation of imperial tombs, archaeologists have found that the bones of many concubines are in a state where their legs are separated, and they look very twisted and unnatural, and almost all the concubines who are buried are in this state, and the reason why their legs are bent is that they are separated before they are born, that is to say, they have suffered inhuman treatment before they died.
Ancient emperors are harem beauties three thousand, even if they are old will still keep letting new people into the palace, and after they die, the young concubines who have just entered the palace will all be martyred, in fact, many concubines are not willing to be buried for the former emperor, in this case, then someone will force them, many concubines are drugged in advance or buried directly alive, they have struggled violently before death, and their legs are naturally separated.
