There is an ancient tomb in a remote mountain village. An emperor is buried inside. No one has dared to steal it for thousands of years.
As a country of etiquette, China has had the concept of "burying the dead in peace since ancient times". All dynasties have severely punished tomb robbing. "The Law of the Ming Dynasty" states that "those who open the coffin and see the corpse will die." regulations. Despite this, tomb robbers are still emerging in an endless stream in order to obtain the funerary objects in the tombs. Especially those tombs where emperors are buried are rarely preserved intact.
However, in a remote mountain village in Wenzhou, there is an ancient tomb, and the owner of the tomb is a former emperor. Now more than a thousand years have passed, but the cemetery is still well-preserved, and no one dares to take advantage of it. Since it is the emperor's mausoleum, there must be many priceless funerary objects inside. Is this cemetery too hidden? Are there other reasons why tomb robbers dare not touch it?
The location of the cemetery is obvious. Although it has become somewhat dilapidated due to disrepair, the grandeur of the past can still be seen from its scale. According to nearby villagers, they couldn't tell exactly who the owner of the tomb was, but they heard from old people in the past that it was probably an ancient emperor. Since the emperor is buried here, it means that the feng shui here is good and the villagers are very happy.
Until now, the nearby villagers have never thought of digging up the cemetery and keeping the funerary objects inside as their own. They are in awe of it. Some villagers even come to pay homage during festivals. However, there was a well-off family who thought that the feng shui next to the cemetery was good, so they moved their ancestral graves here, hoping to get the glory of the legendary emperor.
Surprisingly, since the ancestral tomb was moved to the cemetery, strange things often happened to that family. The villagers thought that this was the result of disturbing the owner of the tomb. So, they discussed it and moved the ancestral grave back. Don't tell me, since the ancestral grave was returned to its original place, the strange things that happened before have not happened again.
Soon after, archaeologists heard about this and came here to conduct surveys. After all, he was a professional, and he quickly figured out the identity of the tomb owner. As the legend said, he was Qian Hongchu, the last monarch of the Wuyue Kingdom in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. According to historical records, Qian Hongchu was the emperor for more than thirty years. During his reign, he built the world-famous Leifeng Pagoda for his beloved concubine.
In 978 AD, Qian Hongchu dedicated the land of Thirteen Prefectures to Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi, and was named King of Huaihai and King of Hannan successively. Ten years later, it happened to be Qian Hongchu's sixtieth birthday. Song Taizong sent envoys to celebrate and rewarded him with fine wine. Qian Hongchu died suddenly that night. In order to prevent his father from being disturbed after his death, his son specially found a geomantic treasure land in Cangnan County and buried his father here.
More than a thousand years have passed, and Qian Hongchu may have been forgotten by people, but the Leifeng Pagoda he built has become one of the ten scenic spots in the West Lake. This may not have been thought of by him during his lifetime!
