Ancient tombs have a magical power that can force people to go and find out, and use various horror legends to deter people from getting too close. Since ancient times, the mausoleum is the underground residence of people with a certain status, out of feudal superstition, they firmly believe that "afterlife" is real, they do not hesitate to spend manpower and material resources to build their own mausoleum, and bring the servants and objects used in their lives into the tomb, so that they can accompany them for life.
Since they know that there are countless treasures in the tomb, the tomb robbers will naturally not let go of the opportunity to get rich, and compared with those who are rich and wealthy, the tomb without a master is the first choice to get rich. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao consumed a lot of money and grain to support the army, and in difficult times, he still survived by constantly robbing tombs by his lieutenants who touched gold and obtained the gold and silver treasures of his predecessors. It can be seen that at least since the Three Kingdoms period, there have been very professional tomb robbers.
With the appearance of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, people find that they still underestimated the importance that ancient emperors attached to the mausoleum, and archaeologists' research on tombs has risen to a new height. In addition to the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, there is another tomb that was discovered in 1986 for the construction of a railway, that is, the Baoshan Dazuka, which is more than 2300 years old. At that time, there were 200 experts excavating in Baoshan Otsuka, 20,000 people on site construction, and a total of 300,000 cubic meters of earth and stone were excavated to make the tomb come to light.
After opening the tomb, the scene inside made archaeologists almost sit on the ground: next to the tomb there was a crooked robbery hole, which contained the remains of a tomb robber, about 15 meters deep underground. Not only speculating, at that time, the tomb robbers had been digging into the ground in order to open the tomb, but they did not expect the tomb to be so deep, and finally lost their way and died of lack of oxygen. It can be seen that for the owners of ancient tombs, how to ensure that their tombs are not excavated is the top priority.
In this regard, Qin Shi Huang adopted the method of blocking the news, after the completion of his mausoleum, all the construction workers were solved, and then all the design drawings were destroyed, and mercury was poured into them, so that the tomb robbers could not come back. Compared with the violent acts of Qin Shi Huang, Zhang Zhan, the general of the Wei state during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, took a very clever approach. Zhang Zhan was the highest-ranking general in the State of Wei, and he had made great achievements in battle in his life, and his glory and wealth could not be enjoyed endlessly. In his later years, Zhang Zhan began to worry that the gold and silver treasures that he buried with him would be stolen by tomb thieves, and he was sullen all day, and he racked his brains for this matter.
Suddenly, Zhang Zhan moved and thought of a strange method: crying poor. Before he died, he asked his family to carve on his tombstone "The coffin of the white catalpa, the clothes of the perishable, the copper and iron are not entered, and the Dan ware is not hidden." Oh descendants, fortunately do not hurt me" 24 big words, and simply handle his funeral matters, be sure not to make a big publicity. I have to say that Zhang Zhan's seemingly stupid method has achieved the most effective results, as a general of Zhengnan, his identity status is unbeatable, but the tomb is so simple, if he is not without money, he will not be so unimportant.
In this way, Zhang Zhan's tomb has not been "patronized" by tomb robbers, even if the tomb robbers have doubts, looking at the big characters on the tombstone, and then looking at this dilapidated appearance, they will dispel their thoughts. More than 200 years later, after all, there were tomb robbers who opened Zhang Zhan's tomb in accordance with the principle of "mosquitoes are small and meat", and the moment he entered the tomb, the tomb robber was instantly dumbfounded, he found that there were countless treasures and utensils in the tomb, even the coffin nails were made of pure gold, and the world was deceived by him for more than 200 years!
