In the Spring and Autumn Period, since there was a thick burial, there were tomb robbers, but people recognized as the ancestor of the tomb robbery world was Cao Cao. Because the first written record of tomb robbers in Chinese history was to expose Cao Cao. I think that at that time, the old enemy Yuan Shao found someone to write a public relations article "Yuzhou Wen for Yuan Shao", which made Cao Cao's tomb robbery known to the whole world, so Cao Cao became a "model" in the industry and circled countless fans.
In fact, there is another ancestor in the tomb robbery world, although he has not robbed the tomb, but it makes all the tomb robbers afraid, when the gods are enshrined, he is The First Emperor of Qin. Why? Just by virtue of his anti-tomb robbery means, in his Qin Mausoleum, there are eight major anti-tomb robbery methods, such as "living mouth pit killing", "tomb poison poison killing", "ambush crossbow shooting", etc., which can take the life of the tomb robber. Therefore, the tomb robbers enshrined Qin Shi Huang as a god, begging his old man to turn a blind eye and bless them to avoid the disaster of killing the organs when robbing the tomb.
After thousands of years of inheritance and development, the tomb robbery industry has also made great progress in all aspects, and even like many industries, it also presents different genres. For example, the Southern Sect, which is known for its skill, uses the "look, smell, ask, and cut" in Traditional Chinese medicine to rob tombs, and by observing feng shui, air currents, and smelling soil, it is possible to determine the location, age, and number of treasures in the tomb. At that time, Zeng Guofan's tomb was stolen by a tomb robber of the southern sect, the robbery hole was impartial, just hit the front of the coffin, and the accuracy of the technique was even beyond the reach of archaeologists.
There is also a genre known for tomb robbery tools, such as the famous industry", just insert it into the ground, take out the soil sample, the tomb robber can determine whether there is an ancient tomb, what age, the location of the coffin, what burial items and so on. Because the soil is corroded by different metals, the smell is different, and the burial tools, materials, and antiseptic methods of different eras are different, resulting in different odors in the surrounding soil. Therefore, looking at the soil is also the basic skill that tomb robbers must master.
Compared with archaeologists, many tomb robbers have more skills than that, in the 1950s, China's archaeological workload increased, it is the urgent need for professional talents, many highly skilled tomb robbers were absorbed and became "archaeologists". There are some things that are tricky for archaeologists, but they can easily solve them by using their strengths.
In the tomb robbery world, it does not matter whether you are a big guy or a small white, but everyone has a tacit experience, that is, as soon as they see a plant growing on the ancient tomb, they immediately turn around and leave, not blindly delaying the work. What plants? willow! Because ancient times were hierarchical societies, people were divided into three, six, nine, and so on, and there were also high and low identities in death. It is stipulated that pine trees can be planted in front of the emperor's tomb, cypress trees can be planted in the tombs of the princes, and only willow trees can be planted in front of the tombs of ordinary people. Therefore, seeing the willow tree in front of the tomb, the tomb robbers will not have to work hard.
