Ancient China
Believe in yin and yang evolution, bagua feng shui
The ancient imperial family paid special attention to the Zhou Yi feng shui theory, the most prominent performance of which was the design of the royal mausoleum. The location of the imperial tomb is often a place with excellent feng shui, and the layout and organs in the tomb are carefully arranged, not only to match the identity of the tomb owner, but more importantly, to protect the integrity of the tomb owner's coffin and funerary products.
Grave
The industry has also gradually developed, and people engaged in this industry are divided into different sects, and there are strict rules to ensure their safety. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, in order to unveil the mystery of the Ming Emperor, the mainland decided to take the initiative to excavate the Ming Tombs, but this archaeological operation became a change in people's smell later
Dingling Qi case
。
In fact, at the archaeological site of that year, there was an old man who said the danger of Dingling, what did this old man say? Why didn't people listen to the elderly at that time?
The site is fixed, and strange things happen frequently
At the time of the founding of the people's republic, the development of formal official archaeology on the mainland was slow, and since the first formal archaeology was interrupted by war in 1921, the official archaeology was not established until 1955
Vice Mayors of Beijing Wu Han and Guo Moruo
It was raised again, but because the archaeological technology was not mature at that time, the proposal was opposed, and later with the support of the central government, the application was finally approved.
After two months of intense preparation, it was established with
Zhao Qichang is the leader of the group, Xia Nai
For technical guidance, Zhao Tonghai is a gravedigger
"Changling Digger Committee"
The original site of the archaeological team was the Changling Tomb, where the tomb was buried
Yongle Emperor Zhu Di
The construction period of the tomb is as long as 7 years, according to the construction time, this is likely to be a valuable tomb, but unfortunately, the archaeological team did not find the incision of the Changling Tomb during the site investigation, and could not be excavated.
So he turned his attention to the Xianling Tomb, the owner of this mausoleum is Zhu Gaozi, the son of Zhu Dizong, who has only been emperor for 10 months, although the excavation of this tomb is relatively simple, but in the same way, its layout and funerary utensils are also relatively simple, and there is no great archaeological value.
Later, the Yongling and Siling that were selected were also lost for various reasons, and finally, after some tossing, the archaeological team decided to excavate the Dingling Tomb where Shenzong was buried.
In fact, when the archaeological team decided to excavate the Changling Tomb earlier, it encountered strange things, first it did not find the entrance to the tomb for several consecutive days, and then it encountered two months of heavy rain, and it also encountered strange and crazy things in the villagers.
The local villagers associated these unusual phenomena with the foreign archaeological team, believing that they had caused misfortune by colliding with the imperial tomb, so they obstructed the archaeological team and prevented them from continuing to excavate.
In view of the strangeness of the previous Changling archaeology, this time the archaeological team invited one
Mysterious old man
Going to the archaeological site of Dingling, this old man is good at Zhou Yi gossip, after consulting an old family tree, he carried out a calculation, deducing that the river of life and death hidden behind the Wall of Dingling King Kong is extremely dangerous, only those who are harmonious with the owner of the tomb can survive safely, and once others are forced to approach, they will only cause trouble.
The old man repeatedly stressed that the archaeological team should not forcibly open the tomb, otherwise the consequences would be tragic.
Chinese has been in awe of the ghosts and gods of the ancestors for thousands of years, the words of the old man have plunged the archaeological team into a depressing atmosphere, but most of the people in this archaeological team have experienced the baptism of revolution and advocated atheism, Guo Moruo and others have negated the old man's speculation with atheistic ideas, breaking the oppressive atmosphere, and everyone has once again summoned up full energy to excavate.
Tomb archaeology, dangerous dangers abound
The archaeological team entered the cemetery through the tunnel entrance, saw the King Kong Wall, who expected that the team members had just removed a brick of the wall, and a black smoke came out from the gap, mixed with the pungent smell of carrion and mercury, which reminded the team members of the "River of Life and Death" in the old population, and there was a riot in the middle of the team, but fortunately there was no other thing to do in the follow-up.
Realizing that this may be just a kind of anti-theft mechanism in the tomb, the archaeological team quickly calmed down and continued the archaeological operation.
After passing through the King Kong Wall into the tomb, the archaeological team was excited to find that this was indeed a large tomb, covering an area of 1,200 square meters, and there were a large number of precious funerary items in the underground palace, just when the archaeological team was ready to do a big job, strange things happened again, and on a sunny day, a thunderous thunder straight to a stone lion guarding the tomb, and this time it also caused the death of two team members, and the people in the archaeological team were panicked for a while.
But this incident could not stop the entire archaeological operation, and the archaeological team continued to excavate. At that time, the team's equipment was rudimentary, the technology was backward, and the excavation was not standardized, resulting in the damage of a large number of cultural relics, such as the lack of advanced cover measures when entering the tomb, the rapid oxidation of a large number of precious cultural relics after excavation, resulting in irreparable losses, and the disposal of three good Nanmu coffins as waste.
These acts have aroused the dissatisfaction of the archaeological community, and the opposition is getting louder and louder.
Finally, the central government announced the cessation of archaeological operations
, and will not take the initiative to excavate ancient tombs in the future.
However, this matter is far from over, and no one who was associated with this tomb was spared. An old couple picked up the coffin discarded by the archaeological team and wanted to hit two coffins for their own use, but after the coffin was ready, the couple died one after another; a young couple who picked up the coffin and wanted to hit the cabinet for home use, despite the dissuasion of nearby villagers, insisted on using it.
The archaeologists either died bizarrely or went insane. Dingling archaeology is like a curse around these people,
Everything seems to be true as the mysterious and eccentric old man said,
It is the river of life and death of the Kongo Wall that silently guards the imperial tomb.
A series of strangeness in Dingling archaeology has not yet been derived from the real reason, but this incident has become a lesson that everyone in the archaeological community has heard, and the state has since stopped taking the initiative to excavate ancient tombs, but only advocates rescue excavation and protective excavation.
The author believes that the theory of ghosts and gods cannot be fully believed, but it must also be respected, as long as it does not affect the order of modern society, we should try our best to respect and protect the empirical theories left by our ancestors. Although most of us believe in atheism, with the current level of science, we really can't explain whether the theory of ghosts and gods is true or not.
We should maintain humility, our ancestors have countless wonderful ideas that we can't achieve, Zhou Yi Feng Shui said that he has his own reasoning in it, but it is used by some people as an excuse for feudal superstition. We should cherish this precious cultural heritage that has been handed down, take its essence, remove its dross, introduce the old and innovate, and revolutionize the old.
Carefully delve into the mysteries and try to apply them to modern life for the benefit of modern people. Secondly, judging from the lessons of Dingling archaeology, we really can't be too rash and do something beyond our capabilities. Even in the current archaeological community, there is no guarantee that the cultural relics will not be damaged by oxidation after excavation, let alone in 1955.
We should proceed step by step, when the time is ripe to ensure that the time is ripe
in order to carry out corresponding archaeological operations and not to fight unprepared battles.
