What is a bandit? What is a grave robber? What is political power?

Bandit: "dirt" means rustic, which means you can't get on the table, but you don't want to get dirty. It belongs to the bottom of many power hierarchies, meaning "country guy". "Bandit" means doing evil, which is a derogatory term. Robbery has no object or behavior, and there is no principle. Its members are mostly fugitives and local ruffians. The word "bandit" adds up to a dirty robbery criminal gang.

Grave robber: It belongs to a kind of thief. Grave robbers are different from ordinary thieves. They steal the property of the deceased, not ordinary people entering the grave. They mainly aim at the works of art (antiques) and gold and silver in the funerary objects, and sell them by stealing the funerary objects of their predecessors, thus making a lot of money. Compared with ordinary thieves, grave robbers can actually be regarded as "intellectuals". Most of these people know something about Feng Shui, and many of them are even Feng Shui masters. Moreover, these people also need to know history and art, and be familiar with the knowledge of excavation and soil structure in order to be regarded as "elegant" thieves. Ancient grave robbers gathered in places with the most capitals, such as An, Luoyang, Kaifengfu, Nanjing, Beijing, etc., especially An and Luoyang, which had the most capitals, while Li Mountain and Mangshan Mountain were considered to be the places where emperors and princes buried the most tombs and were regarded as "feng shui treasures". The grave robbers in Luoyang even invented Luoyang shovel, a tool specially used for grave robbery.

Political power: Political power must be an organization with a national form. "Politics" refers to the government and administrative agencies, and "power" refers to an independent organization that exercises power and jurisdiction, has a certain number of troops and corresponding territory, can appoint officials and conduct administrative management within its own territory, and is not under the jurisdiction of other organizations. In the field of history, it is generally believed that an organization with a "national title" can only be called "political power", otherwise it can only be called "power". For example, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Yellow turban insurrectionary army and various governors could only be called "forces", and only after Wei Shuwu divided the world could they be called "regimes", namely, Cao Wei regime, Liu Shu regime and Sun Wu regime. These three regimes are all countries with complete state organizations and institutions.
