There are 3 celebrities buried in China's dragon veins: one can't dig it, one can't dig it, and one can't dig it

All of the information stated in this article is based on reliable sources, and the specific information is detailed at the end of the article

In the tomb robbery novel, "Touching the Gold Captain" can dig up an ancient tomb with his own hands by virtue of various magic weapons in his hands, chanting a few words of "looking for the dragon and dividing the gold to see the winding mountain", and there are countless rules of various doorways.

However, in reality, there are really a few mausoleums, let alone digging, no one even dares to touch them! They are the Qianling Tomb, the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, and the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, which are located above the dragon vein.

Why are these three tombs still unattended? What kind of mystery is hidden behind this?

"Can't dig" the mausoleum

The dragon vein is a very important concept in Feng Shui, it is regarded as a channel for the gathering of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, like a winding dragon connecting mountains and rivers, affecting the landscape and architecture, and even believed to be related to the rise and fall of a country.

Ancient emperors believed in Feng Shui very much, believing that building a mausoleum in the treasure land of the dragon vein could protect future generations, make the country permanent, and continue to enjoy wealth after death.

However, a large number of burial goods in the mausoleum have also attracted the covetousness of many "golden captains", but there is one of them that no one has been able to dig since ancient times.

This mausoleum is the Qianling Tomb of Wu Zetian, the first female emperor in Chinese history, who, with her outstanding political ability and decisive means, established a prosperous and powerful Wu Zhou dynasty in a male-dominated society.

And the female emperor also attaches great importance to her own posthumous affairs, arranged very grandly, she and her husband Tang Gaozong Li Zhi buried together in the Qianling Mausoleum, on the Liangshan Mountain in Qianxian County, Shaanxi Province, the scale is extraordinary, can be called the top mausoleum of the Tang Dynasty emperors.

The Qianling tomb is difficult to be stolen and excavated, because its structure is extremely strong, the anti-theft measures are cleverly designed, and the historical data record that the Qianling underground palace is poured with molten iron, and the whole tomb is like a huge iron bucket, which is extremely hard and firmly protects the tomb.

Historically, countless tomb robbers coveted the Qianling Tomb, and the large-scale Huangchao Rebellion was one of them.

According to historical records, Huangchao once sent 400,000 troops to dig Qianling, and finally only left a deep ditch called "Huangchaogou" on Liangshan, but the Qianling underground palace was not damaged at all, which shows how powerful the defense system of Qianling is.

In the Republic of China period, the Kuomintang general Sun Lianzhong also wanted to use explosives to forcibly open the Qianling, but in the end it was unsuccessful, even if the technology is so advanced today, it is still very difficult to excavate the Qianling smoothly.

The geographical environment around Qianling is very complex, and the underground water and rock structure are also very special, which have brought great trouble to the exploration and excavation, and the excavation work is facing many unexpected difficulties.

More importantly, the Qianling Tomb is a model of the Tang Dynasty emperor's mausoleum, which has extremely important historical and cultural significance, and the mausoleum may contain a large number of precious cultural relics and historical materials, which are extremely valuable assets for us to study the history and culture of the Tang Dynasty.

"Don't dare to dig" the mausoleum

If the Qianling Tomb is difficult to excavate because its structure is very solid and the terrain is relatively complex, then the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum is not easy to excavate, it is more because of people's respect and remembrance of the Yellow Emperor.

The Yellow Emperor is regarded as the ancestor of the Chinese nation and made an extremely important contribution to the birth and prosperity of Chinese civilization.

As the humanistic ancestor of the Chinese nation, the excavation of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum is not only an archaeological act, but also affects the history of the entire nation, so it needs to be cautious.

During his lifetime, the Yellow Emperor not only researched the method of calculating time and formulated a calendar to allow people to grasp the changes of the seasons and the timing of farming, but also created writing, so that culture could be passed on and developed.

He also actively promoted the development of agriculture and handicrafts, improved production tools, and increased production efficiency, laying a solid foundation for the prosperity and prosperity of Chinese civilization, which had a far-reaching impact.

The Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor is located on Qiaoshan Mountain in Huangling County, Shaanxi Province, and is said to be buried in the crown of the Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of China, and it has long been regarded as the spiritual sustenance and cultural symbol of the Chinese nation.

Emperors of all dynasties attached great importance to the worship of the Yellow Emperor as an important state ceremony, hoping to show respect for their ancestors through sacrifices and pray that the nation would be more united.

Every year during the Qingming Festival, Chinese people from all over the world will gather at the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor to hold a grand sacrifice to express their nostalgia for their ancestors and a beautiful vision for the future of the nation.

So this mausoleum is of great significance to the whole nation, it carries deep emotions and important cultural memories, so any excavation of the mausoleum may be seen as disrespectful or even an offensive act.

In other words, the mausoleum is not only a place to bury the ancestors, but also a symbol of the spirit of a nation, and digging it up at will is equivalent to touching the most sensitive nerves of this nation and causing the public's disgust.

The Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor is like a "spiritual bond", connecting the hearts of all the descendants of Yan and Huang, so no one dares to dig it at all.

"Can't dig" mausoleums

As for the mausoleum that "can not be dug", it is the famous Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang at home and abroad, the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is like an empire buried in the ground, its internal organs are heavy, hidden mysteries, and now due to technical limitations, it is still difficult to excavate the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

Qin Shi Huang was the first emperor in Chinese history, who ended a long period of secession of princes, unified six countries, and established the first highly centralized feudal dynasty in Chinese history, which had a long and profound impact on future generations.

In order to show his supreme power and desire to pursue immortality, Qin Shi Huang ordered the construction of a very large and complex mausoleum, which is known as the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

The construction of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang not only reflects his status as emperor, but also entrusts his dedication to immortality, and the design and scale of this mausoleum reached the peak level of the time.

The Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is located at the foot of Lishan Mountain, Lintong District, Xi'an, Shaanxi, with a particular location, with Lishan Mountain behind and Weishui in front, with a superior geographical location and is considered to be an excellent place for feng shui.

The overall structure of the mausoleum is modeled after the design of Xianyang, the capital of the Qin Dynasty, with two city walls inside and outside, the scale is extraordinary, such a layout is extraordinary, not only a mausoleum, but also a symbol of Qin Shi Huang's unification of the six countries, still wants to continue his rule, so the site selection and design are extremely exquisite.

The reason why the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang "cannot be dug" is mainly because the interior design of the mausoleum is precise, a large number of mechanisms are set up, and the anti-theft system is very complete.

According to historical records, the water used in the mausoleum palace mimics real rivers and lakes, and modern technological means have also confirmed this.

If forcibly excavated, it is very likely to lead to the leakage of a large amount of mercury vapor, which seriously threatens the health and safety of the surrounding environment and archaeologists, so it is not suitable for excavation.

In addition, there may still be ancient anti-theft measures in the underground palace, and the excavation work is potentially dangerous.

Hidden bows and arrows, falling traps, and deadly poisonous gases are just some of the ancient traps that pose additional risks and challenges to excavation.

Archaeologists need to be careful to ensure the smooth running of the excavation and their own safety.

The most attractive part of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is the terracotta warriors and horses, these terracotta figurines are very realistic, vividly showing the strength and majesty of the Qin Dynasty's army, and they also provide important clues for us to understand the military and culture of the Qin Dynasty.

But during the excavation of the terracotta warriors, some problems were also encountered.

In the early days, because the technology was not advanced enough, the colorful patterns on the terracotta warriors and horses dug up quickly faded and fell off as soon as they saw the air, which was a great pity in the archaeological work, and now there are better protection methods to avoid this situation from happening again.

This also tells us that the current technology is not enough to support the safe and effective excavation of the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang.

Therefore, until the technology matures, we should focus more on protection and avoid active excavation, which may be more prudent and appropriate.

epilogue

The three mausoleums, the Qianling Tomb, the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum and the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, are located on the so-called "dragon veins", which represent different historical cultures but also face their own problems.

These imperial tombs are both a curiosity and a source of awe to protect them, and until a safer and more efficient way of excavation is found, hasty action can cause irreparable damage to the artifacts.

At that time, we will be able to learn more about ancient Chinese history and culture, reveal the secrets of the past, and have a more comprehensive understanding of the glory of Chinese civilization.
