"Between the clouds of the White Emperor, a thousand miles of Jiangling is still a day", one of the place names mentioned in this popular "Early White Emperor City" is the White Emperor Mountain in the east of fengjie County, Chongqing City.

The Southern Song Dynasty poet Yang Qixian noted: "The White Emperor City was built by Gongsun Shu. In the beginning, Gongsun shu to Yufu, there was a white dragon out of the well, thinking that he was inheriting the han soil transport, so he was called the White Emperor, and changed Yufu to the White Emperor City. The Northern Song Dynasty poet Wang Qi noted: "The White Emperor City, in Fengjie County, Kuizhou, is close to Wushan. "It's about the origin of the White Emperor City." And the golden treasure cave of this gate is closely related to Gongsun Shu and the White Emperor City.

In the west of the White Emperor City and east of Daxi Town in Wushan County, there is a natural dangerous pass - Chumen Gate, also known as Qutang Gorge, with a total length of 8 kilometers, which dominates the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. It is named after the narrowest and shortest crossing in the Three Gorges, and is known as "Xiong". The dangerous peaks on both sides of the strait are suspended and cut down, like axes and knives. The mountains seem to rise from the ground, and the peaks are like piercing the sky.

For thousands of years, the attraction of countless explorers is a legend about treasure. There is a mysterious cave entrance on the door, and after entering, you can see countless gold and silver jewels. It was left by The White Emperor Gongsun Shu. So that I can make a comeback in the future. There are also legends that this is the tomb of the Ba people, and there must be traces of them inside, and the lost civilization monuments are of great value.

All kinds of legends, for a while, there are many opinions.

Gongsun Shu, originally an old vassal of the Han Emperor, became famous for his well-ordered governance of Qingshui County, Tianshui County, which was well-organized and did not pick up the roads, and was deeply loved by the local people.

Recently. Wang Mang established a new dynasty, and Gongsun Shu was promoted by Wang Mang to the position of county sheriff of Linqiao because of his meritorious following, and still showed extraordinary governance ability here. Later, the local Shu people remembered his political achievements and still called Linqiong City Gongsun Shucheng.

The new dynasty lasted only thirteen years, and this short-lived dynasty and its subordinate officials became the street rats that everyone despised. In the chaotic world, Gongsun Shu decided to unveil the uprising and set up his own portal, with the momentum of "my life is up to me". According to legend, when Gongsun Shubing was approaching Chijia, he once saw a white steaming in an ancient well, like a dragon, rising in the air, and at night there was light in his palm to engrave "Gongsun Emperor". At night, I went to sleep and dreamed that someone said to him, "Eight kuzi, twelve." When he woke up, he said to his wife, "Although it is very expensive, it is short, how?" The wife said, "You can die when you hear the tao, let alone twelve!"

Gongsun Shu then divided Yizhou, the state name became a family, because of the admiration of white, called himself the White Emperor. With Li Xiong as the Grand Si Tu, his brother Gongsun Guang as the Grand Sima and Gongsun Hui as the Grand Sikong. Yi Prefecture was made a lieutenant colonel, and Shu County was Chengdu Yin.

Gongsun Shuxi was harsh on details and trivial matters. Dare to kill but do not know the general body, like to change the official name of the county. However, when he was young, he worked as a lang, learned the Han family system, went in and out of imitation of the Han Tianzi law, rode in and out of the Luan Banner, chen Zhi Ji, and then drove out of the house. He also made his second son king, and the counties of Guanghan and Guanghan were counties. The group of courtiers gave many rules, thinking that success or failure was unknown, the army was exposed, and they were eager to make their sons king, showing no ambition and frustrating the hearts of the soldiers. Gongsun Shu did not listen to the advice, believing that only the family of his grandson could hold power as an official, and the ministers complained bitterly.

All this laid the groundwork for his future military defeat.

The Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu had already sat firmly in Jiangshan, and repeatedly persuaded Gongsun Shu to surrender, and Gongsun Shu sighed and only said: "Both prosperity and ruin are fate." Where is the Son of Heaven who surrendered? Therefore, there is always no intention of surrender.

The Han general Wu Han was ordered to lead an army to sweep away Liu Yong, Dong Xian, Gongsun Shu, Lu Fang, and other separatist forces, and in the twelfth year of Gongsun Shu's claim to the throne, he was shot in the chest by Wu Han's army and fell to his death. Sure enough, the proverbs of the dream were fulfilled.

According to local folklore, Gongsun Shu had collected a large amount of people's cream before his death in battle, and hid gold and silver jewelry in a secret cave in The Gate of Gongmen, commonly known as the "Golden Cave". This was the retreat that the White Emperor had sought for himself. The Land of Shu was rich, and Gongsun Shu's power had been entrenched for many years, and the amount of this wealth was easy to make people think about it.

More than 70 meters of cliffs, more than 200 meters of deep valleys, a little careless, is crushed bones, bones do not exist. Gold is good, but it also has to be spent. Not only did the explorers look at the cave and sigh, but the experts and scholars at home and abroad were helpless in the face of such a precipitous situation.

It wasn't until 9:20 a.m. on August 25, 1998, that a Chinese-led international expedition broke the deadlock. Members include 48-year-old geologist Andy Evans, British explorer Kenny Taylor with 40 years of exploration experience, full-time technician of SRT (the world's most advanced single-rope gliding climbing technique), 36-year-old Irish explorer Watt, and Zhang Ren, a 30-year-old Chinese geological expert with a master's degree in geology, who rely on SRT technology to slide down from the top of the mountain to the cave in turn, and they swing close to the mountain wall and grasp the rocks.

In the cave, the first thing that catches your eye is the white bones on the ground, pillowing each other, scattered with fragments of coffins and four intact wooden sticks. The walls of the cave are painted with hieroglyphs, and the images and lines are clearly visible. There are chaotic ancient weapons and utensils everywhere around.

Other than that, nothing was found. Until the end, I didn't see a single bit of gold. What's going on here?

Thirty years ago, in 1958, local farmers were recorded exploring the Golden Cave. When he saw the falcon in the cave, he carried a dung basket and slid into the hole from the top of the hill with a straw rope, trying to find fertilizer. I didn't want to be in the cave, I didn't pick up fertilizer, but I saw a lot of coffins. Angry, he pushed down the two hanging coffins at the entrance of the cave and retrieved an ancient bronze sword. This story has fascinated many tomb robbers.

When the international expedition explored the cave, it also saw a thick hemp rope hanging from the top of the cave and a flattened meadow. It is the traces left by the grave robbers.

The national expedition began to focus its investigations on hieroglyphs, hoping to find a breakthrough. After deciphering, the tragedy of the extermination of the Ba people a thousand years ago was restored. The corpses on the ground should be all Palestinians.

The Country of Cuba, an ancient people with a long history. mysterious. The earliest record appears in the Classic of Mountains and Seas and the Classic of Hai Nei. "There is Pakistan in the southwest. Salty bird, salty bird born by the li, multiplied by the li after the photo, the back photo is the beginning of the Ba people. "What do you mean?" That is to say, the Cubans are the descendants of Nuwa Fuxi. Divine descent.

The most praised thing about the Ba people is xiao yong and good war. Although the ancestors had been defeated by the shang king Wuding's wife, The Good Army, they were forced to serve in the Yin Dynasty every year. It was not too late for the gentleman to take revenge for a hundred years, and the Ba people took the lead in responding to the anti-Yin banner of King Wu of Zhou, and made a very important contribution to the destruction of the shang in the Battle of Makino. Afterwards, the chief was made a prince by Zhou Tianzi. It had a good relationship with the Zhou Dynasty until the rise of the Qin Dynasty. The Ba people were beheaded under the Blade of Qin. In 316 BC (the ninth year of the reign of King Huiwen of Qin, Qin Huiwen was the father of King Wu of Qin, who died), the State of Qin had begun to implement the plan to unify the world, for the sake of stability in the rear and sufficient material reserves, it aimed its spearhead at Sichuan, and in the spring of the same year, the two countries of Tho and Shu were destroyed, and at this time, the State of Ba was already weak and difficult to return, and destroying it was only a convenient move for Qin. How could I miss it?

The strange thing is that the Ba people after the fall of the country seem to have evaporated, and they can't find any clues.

This is a major doubt in the field of historiography in our country.

After a thousand years, the treasure-hunting golden cave brings unexpected receipts. It is the last trace of the Ba people.

People wondered how the Ba people entered the Golden Cave and searched carefully in that area. Finally, another entrance was found in Bucket Ridge, Fengjie County, more than a hundred miles away from the Golden Cave.

Let's restore the scene at that time.

"I am the patriarch of Pakistan, and the glory of my ancestors no longer exists in my generation. The burden on his shoulders grew heavier. Sandwiched between the Shu and Chu states for many years, the Ba state was exhausted and exhausted. When I learned the news that the Shu kingdom had been destroyed, I knew that the iron horse of the Qin state would one day set foot on the same flat country.

Unexpectedly, this day came so quickly, in a hurry, I had to lead the clan to hide in the cave, with torches, and we advanced cautiously all the way. In the darkness, from time to time groping for a few days and nights, only to see a faint glimmer of light, I and the rest of the clan cheered and ran over, the scene in front of me made my eyes black, it was useless, and even led the whole clan to a road of no return. Take another step forward, that is, the cliffs, the abyss, forced down, only to be buried in the belly of the fish, the bones are gone.

The clan behind the palace also brought back a bad news, our way into the qin army has been blocked, there is no door to heaven and earth, the heavens are going to die my Ba tribe. I confessed to my people and wrote down our unfortunate and tragic experience with an ochre, hoping that future generations could see it and prove that we had the last bit of backbone, and I would rather die than ask Qin Tieqi for forgiveness. Finally, I ordered that the whole clan be martyred here. ”

That's why archaeologists have unearthed weapons, remains, and household utensils in the caves. As for the gold, it is unknown whether the Pakistani people buried it or how. Gold was never found, but it revealed the secrets of Pakistan.

Swings and roundabouts. Gold has a price, history is priceless.
