Hello everyone, I take the time out of my busy schedule today to bring you the following article, welcome to taste it together!
There is a saying in "Finding the Dragon": Looking for the dragon divides the gold to see the entangled mountain, and a heavy entanglement is a heavy pass. In fact, this sentence comes from the "Shake the Dragon Sutra", the so-called "dragon" is not a real dragon, but a dragon vein, that is, where the treasure is located. In the past few years, novels and movies on the theme of tomb robbery have emerged in an endless stream, although this is caused by the deep accumulation of Chinese culture, but in the eyes of real tomb robbers, these are just tricks for children to live in the family.
Yao Yuzhong, born in 1962 in Xinfang Village, Ningcheng County, Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia, his father was a smith, weaving bamboo baskets is the ancestral craft of the Yao family, and in his generation, it is natural to pass it on. Among the seven brothers, Yao Yuzhong's mind is the most flexible, and his craftsmanship is also the best, and he walks the streets and alleys to sell things as soon as he has time, making a lot of money for his family. In addition, Yao Yuzhong also likes to read, but he does not look at basic subjects such as mathematics and language, but about "feng shui".
In fact, the reason why Yao Yuzhong is interested in feng shui is actually influenced by a special geopolitical culture. Yao Yuzhong's hometown of Chifeng is a well-known "Red Mountain" in the archaeological field, when Liang Siyong was archaeologizing in the Hongshan area, he found a lot of pottery pieces, so he called the ancient civilization born here "Hongshan Culture". Therefore, for the villagers of Xinfang Village, picking up an antique every three to five years has become the norm, sometimes a heavy rain can pour out a few, whether it is pottery or jade, the villagers have picked it up over and over again, these cultural relics from more than 5,000 years ago have become commonplace.
Unfortunately, the local villagers did not recognize the value of antiques, and whenever someone came to buy them, they would offer them with both hands. As a result, these antiques have been traded at a price of 50 yuan and 100 yuan, and with the increase in the cultural fame of Hongshan, the value of cultural relics has naturally risen, and the villagers who have exchanged money will also improve their quality of life by a large margin. Over time, Yao Yuzhong had other thoughts, "relying on the sky to eat" is unreliable, since this cultural relics are buried in the ground, then as long as he can find it, won't he make a fortune?
Therefore, Yao Yuzhong began to read a lot of books, learn cultural relics knowledge, in order to go to museums and field investigations, he completely changed his image: gold wire glasses, Zhongshan suit, like a very elegant young professor. Later, Yao Yuzhong slowly developed a hobby of climbing mountains, in the tomb robbery jargon, this behavior is called "point hole", he knows where to find "living soil", knows how to use the terrain and stars to determine the specific location of the tomb. In this way, the next day when robbing the tomb will also be much easier, saving time and saving some unnecessary trouble.
In addition, Yao Yuzhong also has a strong skill, he can not only find the location of the tomb in the mountain, but also judge what people are buried in the tomb, if the tomb owner has no identity, he is too lazy to steal, after all, there is no valuable funerary product, digging is also white digging. In addition, Yao Yuzhong's tools for robbing tombs are also very common, other tomb robbers use high-tech equipment such as "three-dimensional stereoscopic imagers", but he uses a "zazi" made of multi-segment steel splicing, as well as a strong flashlight, as long as the zazi is rooted in the soil for a period of time, he can judge whether there is a large tomb below from the color of the tip.
In this way, between 2013 and 2014, Yao Yuzhong stole more than 200 ancient tombs in succession, making a profit of 500 million yuan. In addition, because he cultivated the leader of 9 tomb robbery gangs, he was also revered as "Grandmaster" in the tomb robbery circle. In 2015, Yao Yuzhong was arrested, and in order to mitigate the crime, he promised that he could find the entrance to the Qin Tomb. Unfortunately, in the face of the law, any act of sophistry is invalid. In the end, Yao Yuzhong was sentenced to a suspended death sentence and spent the rest of his life in prison.
