Three hundred and fiftieth chapters ward off evil spirits
Yu Shan smiled and said, "Who dares to steal? Of course, there are many, and they are not ordinary people. Just say, now, do you think the country doesn't want to steal?"
The underground palace of Qianling has not been excavated not because it has not discovered its value or because of the so-called protection of historical sites, but for other reasons.
"Qianling" is the best preserved "the main tomb of the 18 tombs of the Tang Dynasty". Now the country has made it clear that it will not actively excavate the imperial tombs in an aggressive manner, but only rescue excavations.
Even so, as of 2013, five burial tombs have been excavated, and a large number of cultural relics have been unearthed.
This is the same as the dragon vein Yu Shan just mentioned. The Qianling is located in a real dragon vein, so it is huge in scale.
According to legend, Qianling Mausoleum was built in 684 AD, which was the first year of Guangzhai, Empress Tian Shunsheng. It took twenty-three years to complete it. It is a mausoleum built in Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.
Qianling is located on the northern peak of Liangshan. The total area of the inner city is 2.4 million square meters. The inner city walls are towering on all sides. There are four gates of Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu, Qinglong and White Tiger in the southeast, west and northwest. The layout is very reasonable.
There are a total of 17 tombs in Qianling Mausoleum, most of which are tombs of princes, princesses and important officials of the court. In the first year of Hongdao (683), Wu Zetian appointed Wei Tieji, the Minister of Personnel, to be responsible for the project of Qianling Mausoleum. Li Zhi was buried in August of the following year, and the Qianling Mausoleum project continued.
In May of the second year of Shenlong (706), Emperor Zhongzong of Tang Dynasty Li Xian ordered Wu Zetian to be buried.
A year ago, Emperor Zhongzong of Tang pardoned the royal family who were persecuted to death due to political issues during the reign of Wu Zetian, and buried them again, including Princess Yongtai Li Xianhui, Prince Yide Li Chongrun, and Prince Zhanghuai Li Xian.
In addition, in 706, Qianling also built the tombs of King Xu Li Sujie, King Ze Li Shangjin, Princess Yiyang Li Xiayu and others with burials.
There are many burial tombs, so there are many burial objects here, so there are a large number of rare treasures. After some unprofessional statistics, there are tens of thousands of them!
Among them, antique utensils and literary works that reflect the social life situation at that time are the most, which can be regarded as the magnificent art treasure house of ancient China.
Therefore, after being discovered in 1958, it immediately attracted high attention from the whole society.
Qianling Mausoleum is so vast and majestic. It is thought that because the Li Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan period was strong, the construction of emperors' tombs also requires huge scale and magnificent momentum.
According to famous archaeologists, among the ancient emperor tombs discovered by archaeologists throughout the ages, only the prosperous Tang Dynasty had the strategy of building mountains and tombs, which fully proved that the Tang Dynasty was a period when the comprehensive national strength reached an unprecedented peak in China's feudal history.
The Qian Mausoleum Trail was very well preserved when it was discovered, and no newly excavated robbers were found. Therefore, some people speculated that later tomb robbers still had a sense of respect for Emperor Gaozong who had been buried in the tomb. Therefore, Qian Mausoleum was lucky to be the only tomb among the eighteen tombs of the Tang Dynasty that had not been excavated.
Let’s not talk about other things, just talk about modern people. How many people are respectful to Li Zhi and Wu Zetian?
Emperor Gaozong of Tang, Li Zhi, was the third emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the grandson of Li Yuan, Duke of Tang Dynasty, and the ninth son of Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, and was appointed as the crown prince by Li Shimin, who suffered the suffering of the throne of the princes in the 17th year of Zhenguan.
In the history of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, although Li Zhi had little achievements due to his cowardly personality and was a benevolent emperor, he had always had a good reputation in later generations, but the people's evaluation of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Li Zhi was generally a "conservative emperor".
To put it more clearly, it is better to say that people are more interested in his political achievements than to talk about the stories between women in his harem.
It should be noted that Emperor Gaozong of Tang Li Zhi inherited from his father Li Shimin not only the country of the Tang Dynasty, but also the beauties in the harem whom Li Shimin was quite favored during his lifetime!
Who would respect him without digging his grave?
Not to mention that there is Wu Zetian who made many people want to tear up the body (don’t think it’s an exaggeration. The royal family and some literati and officials who were persecuted by Wu Zetian at that time wanted to sleep with their skin and eat their flesh).
In the late Tang Dynasty, during the Huang Chao Rebellion, Huang Chao planned to rob the tomb, so he mobilized 400,000 troops to dig a large ditch more than 40 meters deep, but he could not find the entrance of the tomb passage, so he had to give up in disappointment.
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, Wen Tao, the governor of Chongzhou of Later Liang, organized an army to excavate all the imperial tombs of the Tang Dynasty, but only Qianling was spared because of its solid construction.
And now, the Republic cannot forcefully dig other people's graves like the rioters?
So a group of tomb guardians who have been thriving for thousands of years prevented them from being able to dig up their ancestral graves under the guise of archaeology.
"Why haven't I heard of the tomb guards? I heard that Qianling Mausoleum was made of a tomb made of hollowed out of the entire mountain. Is molten iron poured outside, and the civil tomb robbers could not find the entrance. Without measures to protect internal cultural relics, the country chose not to develop it for the time being, just like the Terracotta Warriors and Horses only developed part of it." Yu Shuidao.
Yu Shan smiled and said, "Is that true? Do you believe it?"
Qian Xiaohao knows such things the most, because his grandfather often plays a guest appearance as a Feng Shui master and communicates with others.
Among these people who communicated, there were many local monkeys. They often discovered ancient tombs by searching for dragons and pointing a hole. However, no local monkey was unmoved by an imperial tomb.
The earth monkey is a scornful name for tomb robbers in the world. As for the earth masters, generals of the Zhonglang, and strong men of the Yuling, they were only spread after beautification. They are actually a group of earth monkeys and a group of shameful ground mice.
Such people are simply unavailable. In recent years, the rich man is the old man, so the local monkey who can make money quickly has been admired.
Of course, local monkeys who do such things generally have some skills.
Yu Shan heard a lot about the local monkeys, and he didn't know about some local monkeys from Qian Xiaohao, so Yu Shan was very cautious about to rob the tomb.
In the Qianling Mausoleum, a large number of cultural relics have not been destroyed or excavated, a large number of precious stone carvings scattered in the fields or open air, and more than a dozen burial tombs and other cultural relics can be safe and sound in the years of storms. This is due to the many unknown "tomb guardians" at the foot of Qianling Mausoleum.
Cultural relics theft or excavation cases occur frequently in surrounding areas. Some tomb robbers and cultural relics dealers from other places have been spying on Qianling Mausoleum for a long time. Some even mingled among tourists and came to investigate the underground palace of Qianling Mausoleum, etc., but they were all discovered or discovered by local tomb guards in time and drove away reads;.
These tombkeepers adhered to the ancestral teachings and family traditions, formed a special group, consciously and voluntarily guarded the cemetery, and made great contributions to the protection of Qianling cultural relics.
The civil tomb guarding the Qianling Mausoleum has special historical reasons. During all periods of the Tang Dynasty, the government sent a large number of personnel to guard the cemetery, mainly responsible for protecting and repairing the cemetery.
As time goes by and dynasties change, the descendants of these people all thrived around the mausoleum area and silently protected the mausoleum.
They continue to protect the cultural relics on and under the Qianling Mausoleum from generation to generation. Without their silent protection of treasures for decades of wind and rain, the Qianling Mausoleum would not be preserved so well.
Although the Qianling Mausoleum is large, there are more tomb guards now. There are so many people watching, even the national government cannot take the tomb, so it is not that they don’t want to dig it, but that the tomb guards don’t let them dig it.
"What do you mean by saying so much? You don't want to get some gravekeepers for our ancestral graves, right?" Looking at Yu Shan's distant gaze, Yu Hai said jokingly.
Yu Shan smiled and said, "I think, but what strength do we have in our family to find such a loyal tomb guard?"
"How do other families do it? I think no one except the Emperor's family can do it to the level of Qianling, right?" Yu Shui asked.
Yu Shan said: "Of course there are not many people. Now we know about Qianling. Even the pyramids abroad have been dug up. Let alone the ancient tombs in China, it is not difficult to find a loyal tomb guardian.
The easiest and easiest thing is to find a family from the family branches to maintain their integrity, to develop their strengths, and to be honest and honest, so that they can enjoy the support of the clan. They don’t have to do anything else, just look at the ancestral grave."
"So, you want to do this too?" Yu Shui asked.
Yu Shan pointed to the entire valley wrapped in the cemetery outside and said, "I bought all this large valley. Of course, I have rented it now. It has been 70 years of property rights and spent 3.5 million yuan. What would you think if you plant peach trees in this valley?"
"It's a good idea to have an orchard. At that time, I'll find a family to help us watch the orchard. In this mountain, the forests are the best protected, which is really a good idea." Yu Hai said immediately.
Yu Shan looked at Yu Hai, but he didn't expect that this big brother who looked like a rough man would react very slowly.
"Is there any problem in planting peach trees in the cemetery?" Yu Shui asked.
Yu Hai was stunned and said, "What's the problem?"
Yushuidao: "Peach wood wards off evil spirits and will make the undead uneasy."
"Haha, this is inevitable." Yu Shan said with a smile.
Many people agree with this view, believing that planting peach trees on the cemetery is not good in Feng Shui because peach trees are used to ward off evil spirits, and the graves in the cemetery are places for activities of Yin spirits, which affects Yin spirits' inability to live in peace and leads to the disadvantage of the family of the Yang Vasubandhu.
Generally, when planting trees in cemeteries, almost all pine and cypress are planted. Pine and cypress trees are evergreen, with a high survival rate and insect-proof, which means they last forever.
"What are you laughing at? Am I wrong?" Yu Shui was a little uneasy when Yu Shan smiled, so he asked.
Yu Shan stopped his smile and said, "Didn't I say your worries are right?"
"Then why are you laughing at?" Yu Shui said angrily.
Yu Shan had to explain: "Actually, these are all things that need to be viewed. Different angles of the problem will naturally be different. There are many customs in various places. For example, in some places, we cannot plant poplar trees in the courtyard. Who in our house doesn't have a few poplar trees? Are there few poplar trees in the courtyard?"
