Why did China's best tomb robber say after being caught that identifying cultural relics is as easy as distinguishing men and women?

Yao Yuzhong was a very powerful tomb robber after the founding of the People's Republic of China. He taught himself celestial phenomena, Feng Shui, tomb culture and customs, etc. and used them in robbing tombs. After he was caught, he said that he identified cultural relics by himself. It is as simple as distinguishing between men and women.

Tomb robbing is illegal. Tomb thieves rob ancient tombs for personal gain without the permission of the state. As a result, ancient cultural relics were lost in large quantities, making it impossible for our archaeologists and historians to fully understand a period of history.

Yao Yuzhong has a very strong learning ability. He did not read many books due to poor family conditions. He mastered the knowledge of celestial phenomena and Feng Shui through his own study. Once he understands Feng Shui, he can know which ones are suitable for cemeteries. location. The ancient nobles also used Feng Shui knowledge to find tombs.

Yao Yuzhong also learned the local customs and burial culture so that he could more clearly judge the exact location of the cemetery. Yao Yuzhong has been robbing tombs for 30 years. He was the only one at that time. Tomb robbers from other places always returned without success because they did not understand the local conditions. However, he could not only accurately judge the location of the ancient tomb, but also the approximate location of the tomb. Accurate information such as the burial objects, their rarity, and the identity of the tomb owner.

Yao Yuzhong always goes to the mountain to look for the cemetery by himself. After determining the location, he also completes the later excavation work himself. Therefore, basically no one knows about his tomb-robbing habits and process, which is why he has been at large for more than 30 years and has only been caught until now.

Ancient tombs are powerful evidence that history has left us to explore for answers. These ancient tombs and collections allow us to understand our history and our ancestors. Tomb robbers steal cultural relics for personal gain, and selling cultural relics is illegal. I think if Yao Yuzhong uses his learning ability to do the right thing, I believe he will do something else.
