Hello everyone, I take the time out of my busy schedule today to bring you the following article, welcome to taste it together!
In our period, there is also a modern version of the god-like "Captain Touching Gold", he is Yao Yuzhong, don't look at him as unremarkable, not tall, but if you talk about tomb robbery, in the tomb robbery world, he calls it second, no one dares to call it first. Therefore, Yao Yuzhong is also known as the "grandfather" of the tomb robbery world. His methods of tomb robbery and archaeological knowledge also make many archaeologists ashamed. If Yao Yuzhong had used his tomb robbery methods on the right path, he would have made some achievements in the archaeological community, but unfortunately, the final result was that he was imprisoned and sentenced to death.
Yao Yuzhong was born in 1962 in Ningcheng County, Inner Mongolia, because of the large population of the family when he was a child, so the family was poor, Yao Yuzhong often had a stomach and could not eat enough, and the family did not have the strength to cultivate Yao Yuzhong. Therefore, Yao Yuzhong only went to primary school and dropped out of school. Then he became an authentic farmer, while planting land, weaving bamboo baskets, subsidizing the family, and living a tight life, it was also plain.
But Yao Yuzhong's father made a living from tomb robbery, and he worked part-time to see feng shui and find tombs, and he would have a lot of knowledge of tomb feng shui. Therefore, when he was a child, Yao Yuzhong was taught by his father by example and deliberately cultivated, and his father taught his son his lifelong experience in tomb feng shui without reservation. Tiger father has no dog, Yao Yuzhong soon got his father's true transmission, and even Qing is better than blue out of blue.
Although Yao Yuzhong's culture is very low, he is also a person who loves to learn, and often works hard and can't let go. He began to study books on feng shui and tombs, and often went to museums and cultural relics to learn about ancient archaeological culture. He also bought a large number of books on archaeological excavations by experts, and became fascinated by an ancient book with feng shui, "I Ching", so Yao Yuzhong quickly mastered the exquisite tomb robbery technology, and these experiences also laid a solid foundation for Yao Yuzhong's later tomb robbery process.
When he was young, Yao Yuzhong was just an ordinary farmer, and he also worked as a small trader and peddler, moved bricks at the construction site, and his life was not rich, so all along, Yao Yuzhong wanted to get rich and improve his life. However, the opportunity came, in the eighties and nineties of the last century, there was a boom in urban construction in various places, which led to the discovery of a large number of ancient tombs, so there was a wave of archaeology at that time, and with the wave of archaeology, there was naturally a wave of tomb robbery.
At that time, Yao Yuzhong's hometown was found around the Hongshan cultural site, with a large number of ancient tombs, often unearthed a lot of valuable cultural relics. Yao Yuzhong, who was obsessed with money, started the idea of relics and relics, after all, robbing tombs came quickly with money and harvested a lot, so Yao Yuzhong involuntarily embarked on the road of no return to tomb robbery. In order to find the tomb, Yao Yuzhong also deliberately went to the Red Mountain Museum to learn archaeological knowledge.
Nowadays, archaeologists use advanced detection instruments when archaeology, but Yao Yuzhong does not need them. He usually wore only a flashlight and invented a very practical tool, "Zazi". At first, Yao Yuzhong needed to look at the soil made by Zazi to judge the location of the ancient tomb, and later after learning the feng shui of the "I Ching", as long as he looked at the terrain and the surrounding scene, he could judge the location of the ancient tomb, so at this time, Yao Yuzhong's tomb robbery technology was already pure fire.
In this way, Yao Yuzhong formed a tomb robbery gang, specializing in professional tomb robbery. According to statistics, between 2013 and 2014, Yao Yuzhong's gang stole tombs more than 200 times, and countless cultural relics were stolen, and the value of the stolen cultural relics was about 600 million. The motivation for Yao Yuzhong to steal cultural relics is also because of one of his hobbies, gambling, often losing the essence, and then using the cultural relics he dug up to pay off debts, causing immeasurable losses to cultural relics.
Evil is rewarded, and if you do something wrong, you will have to pay a price. Yao Yuzhong's tomb robbery soon attracted the attention of the police. In 2014, Yao Yuzhong was arrested and a large number of cultural relics were found in his home. Because Yao Yuzhong's actions had caused great harm to mainland cultural relics, he was finally sentenced to death.
