China has a long history of 5,000 years, during which it has created 24 dynasties and 494 emperors.
However, there are only three emperors buried in the dragon vein, and no matter which of these three emperors has played a crucial role in Chinese history.
It's just that the tombs of these three emperors can't be dug up, one dare not dig up, and one can't dig up.
Who were these three emperors and what is so special about their tombs?
What is a dragon vein?
If you want to know what the dragon vein is, you have to mention the word "landscape", which is the reference object of natural aesthetics in the understanding of the ancients, and the good and bad of "landscape" at the ideological level symbolize the blessings and disasters of people.
It is from this perspective that it was an excellent thing for the ancients to choose a place with good mountains and rivers to live in while they were alive, and this was true during their lifetime, and also after their death.
However, this is not obvious in the common people, because ordinary people are not rich and do not pay so much attention to it, and secondly, they return to their roots in the fallen leaves, and no matter where they die, they will eventually be buried back to their hometowns.
On the contrary, it can be seen in those dignitaries and emperors that they are also very concerned about their "place of residence" after a hundred years, and those who have money and power in the feudal era have such a thought, and the good and bad burial can affect the blessings and misfortunes of future generations in addition to showing their identity.
In China's traditional feng shui concept, the Kunlun dragon vein theory has had a profound impact on China from ancient times to the present, whether it is the location of the yin mansion of the folk dignitaries and nobles, or the emperor's mausoleum, the Kunlun dragon vein is the first choice to consider.
There are so many mountain ranges in China, why do you call Kunlun the dragon vein?
In ancient times, there were many records about the dragon vein, among which the "Guan's Geographical Guidance" compiled during the Three Kingdoms period once recorded:
"Pointing to the mountain as a dragon, like the rise of the situation" "What is the dragon?" The veins of the mountains also. Mountains are named after dragons? Take it like a dragon god also. …… If the soil is the flesh of the dragon, the stone is the bone of the dragon, the grass is the hair of the dragon, and the hole has five colors, it is the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys of the dragon. "The ancients called the veins of the dragon mainly out of pictograms, and the image of the dragon is most appropriate to the winding mountains."
To put it more clearly, the direction of the Kunlun Mountains is like a soaring dragon, and the imagination of the ancients is far beyond that of modern people, who imagine the static mountains as flesh and blood, soaring on the land of China.
The Kunlun Mountains are the main dragon veins, and there are three secondary dragon veins under it, which are the North Dragon, the Yinshan Mountain Range, the Middle Dragon, the Qinling Mountain Range, the South Dragon, and the Yishan Mountain Range.
Of China's 494 emperors, only three are buried in the dragon vein, and the mausoleums are more mysterious than the other.
Can't dig it, Qianling
Qianling is the mausoleum of Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in China, in fact, as early as 1965, Guo Moruo, Wu Han and others asked the State Council for instructions to excavate Wu Zetian's Qianling.
However, due to the failure of the previous excavation of the tomb of Emperor Wanli, the request of Guo Moruo and others was resolutely rejected by Premier Zhou.
The reason why Guo Moruo applied for the excavation of the Qianling Tomb was that the legends about the Qianling Tomb have not stopped for thousands of years, especially the fact that the Qianling Tomb has not been stolen for more than 1,300 years, which has whetted people's appetite.
Especially according to historical records, Wu Zetian's Qianling Tomb is buried with more than 500 tons of treasures, and even the former secretary of the Qianling Museum has said: "Once the Qianling Tomb is excavated, it will be a shock!" ”
It can be seen how attractive the Qianling Tomb is, so in this case, why has the Qianling Tomb not been stolen for more than 1,300 years?
Qianling was built in Liangshan, not so much built on Liangshan, but Qianling is "according to the mountain for the mausoleum", from the beginning of the design, the craftsman built the Qianling on the main peak of Liangshan.
This makes the tomb and the underground palace of Qianling deeply embedded in the belly of the underground palace, so Qianling and Liangshan are the relationship between you and me, I have you, which makes the tomb robbers only know that Qianling is in Liangshan, but they can't find the tomb entrance at all.
In the Huangchao Rebellion that broke out at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Huangchao wanted to excavate the Qianling, but he brought 400,000 troops to search for several days but could not find the tomb entrance.
It wasn't until 1958 that a farmer in Liangshan stumbled upon the tomb crossing of the Qianling Tomb when he was blasting stones to extract materials, and since then the Qianling has been protected by the state, and the tomb robbers have no chance to take advantage of it.
Don't dare to dig, Qin Huang's mausoleum
Qin Shi Huang's historical position in China is undoubted, the book is on the same track as the literary car, and only Qin Shi Huang can deserve the title of the first emperor of the ages.
As the first emperor of China, Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng was very concerned about his mausoleum when he was alive, and it took nearly 800,000 people to build it in 39 years, and the scale is far more majestic than modern people imagine.
There is a saying that if the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is unveiled, the Eight Wonders of the World will be eclipsed in front of it.
In particular, in Sima Qian's historical records, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is recorded as follows:
"With mercury as a hundred rivers and seas, the machine is instilled, with astronomy and geography. Take mermaid breeding as a candle, and those who will not be extinguished will last for a long time".
It is conceivable how magnificent the interior of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is.
On the one hand, the current archaeological technology is not enough to complete the excavation of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, and the main reason is that the mercury content in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is too high, with more than 100 tons.
Just as recorded in the historical records, "mercury is a hundred rivers and seas", Qin Shi Huang used a large amount of mercury as a river, and placed his coffin on it, and with the continuous flow of mercury, Qin Shi Huang's coffin did not stop, "inspecting all places".
So that Qin Shi Huang can "reign over the world" even after his death. With such a huge amount of mercury, it would be life-threatening to excavate it rashly, so it is obviously difficult to overcome for the current archaeological level.
On the other hand, the Qin Dynasty as China's first unified dynasty, Qin Shi Huang as China's first emperor, for the Chinese nation, the symbolic significance of the Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum is far greater than the archaeological significance.
There is a saying that compares the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang to the "dragon vein" of the Chinese nation, so we must maintain a sense of awe for our ancestors and not be rashly disturbed.
Can not be dug up, the origin of the Chinese nation
Chinese people are accustomed to calling themselves the descendants of Yan and Huang, and the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor is of great significance to the Chinese nation, as the ancestor of humanity, the Yellow Emperor led his people to the next level of society, making a good start for the splendid civilization of the Chinese nation.
However, because the Yellow Emperor is too far away from modern times, the specific location of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum has not been determined for so many years, the most common of which is the northern Shaanxi region and Zhuo County, Hebei.
In historical records, there are many claims about the location of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum in Shaanxi, so since ancient times, the sacrificial ceremonies for the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum have been carried out in the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum in Qiaoshan, Shaanxi.
However, as for whether the Yellow Emperor is buried in the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum, it is still a mystery, some people say that this is just the Yellow Emperor's clothed tomb, and some people say that it is the relics of the Yellow Emperor who are buried.
But in any case, the Yellow Emperor, as the ancestor of the Chinese nation, no one would dare to dig up the tombs of his ancestors. In addition, there is also folklore, because the Yellow Emperor is the ancestor of China, so his mausoleum has always been guarded by "divine beasts", if someone dares to disrespect the Yellow Emperor's mausoleum, then it will inevitably be retributed.
Therefore, all kinds of theories make the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum still safe today.
