There have been many mysterious events in ancient Chinese history that have not been explained by science until modern times, and so far no one, including scientists, has been able to give a reasonable explanation, and among all these mysterious events, there are seven particularly mysterious supernatural phenomena.
1. Where is Heshibi?
According to legend, the Chu people Bian He provided the best jade to the King of Zhao, and Zhao Guolin was like a complete Bi returned to Zhao to this day, so where did his Heshi Bi flow? People have always had different opinions, the only thing that is certain is that the gem still exists, and since it can withstand temperatures of 1300 degrees Celsius, it cannot be incinerated by ordinary fire. After Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms and eventually obtained a lot of treasures, there are currently two speculations about where Heshibi went: The first speculation is that Heshibi was buried in the tomb of The First Emperor of Qin as a funeral, and was not passed down as a jade seal as a national treasure. If so, one day in the future, if we find the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, we still have a chance to see his face. Another speculation is that Heshi Bi may have disappeared during the late Qin War or been snatched by Xiang Yu. At the end of Qin, Xiang Yu led his troops to attack Xianyang, burned the Qin Palace, excavated Qin tombs, and plundered treasures, beautiful women, and Heshibi may be one of them. However, in the subsequent Chu-Han War, Xiang Yu was defeated and his whereabouts are unknown, and Heshi Bi may have been hidden in Xiang Yu's capital Pengcheng (present-day Xuzhou, Jiangsu), or in Xiang Yu's defeated and dead Haixia (present-day Lingbi, Anhui).
Heshi bi is a very famous priceless treasure in Chinese history, and in the hundreds of years it has been handed down, the fate of many people and countries has been closely related to it, and its mysterious disappearance has become a major unsolved case in China's history of more than two thousand years.
2. Where are the Twelve Bronze Men of the Qin Dynasty?
Qin Shi Huang, the emperor, left too many mysteries for future generations. The Twelve Bronze Men are one of them, and the disappearance of the Twelve Bronze Men is still unexplained. There are three kinds of speculation about the whereabouts of the "Twelve Bronze Men": some people say that the king of the Western Chu Kingdom conquered Xianyang and burned down the Afang Palace, and the "Twelve Bronze Men" also burned down together. It is also said that the Twelve Bronze Men were destroyed at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, dong Zhuo minted ten copper coins, and the other two were destroyed by Fu Jian. Another argument is more optimistic, according to the historical record, the "twelve bronze men" were not destroyed, the twelve bronze men were the favorite of Qin Shi Huang, after the tomb was built, along with other jewelry to accompany the burial, because the excavation of the Qin tomb temporarily showed no signs, so no one can explain the whereabouts of the twelve bronze people.
3. The mystery of the disappearance of the daughter country
The "daughter country" described in "Journey to the West" once left people with countless fantasies. There is indeed a "daughter state" in history. According to the Old Book of Tang, "The Eastern Female Kingdom, the other name of the Western Qiang, is called the Eastern Female Kingdom in the Western Sea, so it is called the Eastern Female Yan." It is customary to have a woman as king. "But in the Tang Dynasty, the historical record of the daughter country stopped, and the emergence of the daughter country was only a flash?
4. The "Changming Lantern" of ancient Chinese tombs
I believe that friends who often read novels about the adventures of tomb robbery are no strangers to that bright light. According to legend, this bright lamp can guide ghosts into tombs and burn for thousands of years. Incredibly, since the oxygen and fuel in the tombs are very limited, how could this constantly burning lamp burn for thousands of years? It is said that the eternal lamp in the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang uses the grease of the mythical mermaid as fuel and is permanently immortal, so it is called the Changming Lamp. Since then, the nobles often imitated the practice of Qin Shi Huang and placed Changming lanterns in their graves, however, the mystery of the immortality of Changming Lanterns has not yet been revealed.
5. Night Pearl
Pearls carved from fluorite are called night pearls, and the glowing night pearls are not pearls produced by shellfish, and there are many mysteries of the night pearls that have not yet been explained by experts, which is still an ancient mystery that has not yet been fully unveiled.
The night pearl closest to us is probably the one with the "Meiling jewelry shoes" in Cixi's mouth, according to Sun Dianying, who robbed Cixi's tomb: This bead is divided into two pieces, when closed, it is a round ball, separated transparent and no light, when closed, it will emit a green cold light, and at night you can see the hair within a hundred steps. Some books say that it weighs four, two, two, and seven cents, and Cixi puts it in her mouth to protect her body.
6. Xiang Yu refused to pass the mystery of Jiangdong
Xiang Yu was defeated in the Battle of Chu and Han, and finally ended up killing himself in wujiang, why didn't Xiang Yu cross the Wujiang? For more than two thousand years, people have had a variety of views.
Some people believe that the western Chu overlord was not in Jiangdong because Yu Ji was dead, and some people believed that Xiang Yu's refusal to cross the East River was due to a noble character, believing that this was considered from the early elimination of the people's war suffering. In more than two thousand years of history, scholars and historians have paid great attention to it, but so far it is difficult to draw conclusions.
7. The mystery of "pushing back the map"
The Push back map is one of the most famous books on Chinese prophecy. It is rumored that this was the prophecy of the tang dynasty prophets Li Chunfeng and Master Yuan Tiangang on important events in the Tang Dynasty and its successors. There are sixty images in the book, named after the Sixty Koshi and the Gua Xiang. Because of the accuracy of its predictions, rulers of past dynasties were shocked and listed it as a banned book. Can the "pushback map" really predict the future?
Basically, there are two versions of the "push back map" that people generally circulate: one is the "push back map" annotated by the more common Qing Dynasty scholar Jin Shengsi, known as the golden version. The other is the version found by Mr. Li Shiyu in a German publication, which is said to be the closest to its original appearance, and is still preserved in the National Palace Museum in Taipei.
