Yao Yuzhong "treasure hunt" never uses high technology, but he digs an accurate one. What's his skill?
In today's society, many people are willing to pay any price for fame and fortune. In order to be a good person, I will do whatever it takes to get benefits for myself. Man struggles upwards, and water flows downwards. On this road of struggle, we sometimes need to use some extreme measure, but we can't take a crooked road all the time. Everyone wants fame and fortune, which is understandable, but a gentleman loves money and takes it wisely. We must be down-to-earth and use our own strength to get what we want, instead of using improper means to write crooked ways.
No matter in ancient times or in modern times, there are some grave robbers who steal the funerary objects in some tombs to make a windfall. We also know that in ancient times, many princes and other people with status would bury a lot of things with them when they were buried. These antiques are very valuable in modern times, which also gave birth to the grave robbery industry. Anyone who has seen "Ghost Blowing Lights" knows that there is a profession called Touching Gold as a captain in the grave robbery industry, and Yao Yuzhong is such a figure.
Yao Yuzhong, a captain who touches gold
Due to poor family conditions, Yao Yuzhong, in desperation, embarked on crooked ways and chose to rob tombs for a living. I have been engaged in this industry for many years. When I was arrested by the police in 215, I have been in the grave robbery business for more than 3 years. I am very experienced and was once called "the first expert outside the customs". Although he has only a primary school education level, many people can't compare with his many years of experience. There are even rumors that his tomb-robbing technique has been passed down from generation to generation. Just like Hu Bayi in film and television dramas, he is not only proficient in astronomical phenomena, but also able to accurately locate the location of the twilight point through a compass.
It is reasonable to say that a skill like this must be the object of contention, but after some investigation, it was discovered that people in the village and their families were dismissive of his skill. For the legend of Yao Yuzhong, everyone said it was not credible, because Yao Yuzhong's ancestral technology was a weaver of bamboo baskets. Perhaps Yao Yuzhong does have something different from ordinary people, because among his children at home, ancestral craftsmanship is the best one. However, these people can't make any money, and they can only make plans for their future because of the pressure of life.
Later, he felt that his "dragon slaying skills" had been perfected, so he stepped into the profession of "touching gold as a captain". As a result, he made a windfall, earned a lot of money and greatly improved his quality of life. Even after he was caught, he still had no intention of repentance, and he clamored for archaeologists, saying that all the experts present were not as good as him. I have to say, it's really arrogant.
As soon as the tomb was found, everyone was curious. How did he do something that others could not do without using these high technologies? Looking for a tomb is also a must? These questions have puzzled everyone. It is understood that this may have a lot to do with his love of Feng Shui knowledge. Yao Yuzhong's hometown, close to the ruins of Hongshan Culture, may be the key factor that led him to embark on the road of grave robbery. Especially after he got married, he stopped touching his ancestral skills, but began to read books about Feng Shui knowledge and became a cultural person.
It is worth mentioning that he not only familiarizes himself with books, but also goes to field research, and often goes to some cemeteries or museums for field visits, which can be regarded as testing his true level. Over the years, he has also developed a skill. Without modern high technology, he can accurately determine the location of the grave only by a "tie" made of multi-section steel bars and a strong flashlight. It can be said that he almost never misses. As Yao Yuzhong's skill is getting bigger and bigger, many people in grave robbery circle call him "the ancestor of grave robbery".
Perhaps Yao Yuzhong has really developed unparalleled skills over the years, so that he can confidently call himself the "first master" in Hongshan Culture. No matter how high the skill is, this industry is crooked after all, and it is really ill-gotten gains to make a fortune by the dead. In the end, Yao Yuzhong was also arrested and imprisoned for reselling cultural relics, and was sentenced to death with a two-year suspension. People have to sigh that things change.
lead an ordinary life
After Yao Yuzhong was arrested, it was a great blow to his mother, and the life of his family was the same as that of most rural areas. He farmed cattle at home and made a living by weaving bamboo baskets with ancestral skills. His eldest brother kept her from visiting the prison for fear that something might happen to his mother because of his younger brother. At the same time, he also hopes that his brother can make a good reform in prison and learn a lesson. And Yao Yuzhong's wife, after that, took her son to live in other cities, which may be the best choice for both mother and son, to get away from these rights and wrongs and start a new life. Now, there is only one old mother left in Yao Yuzhong's hometown.
Although Yao Yuzhong is not as fantastic as the rumor says, he is at least something with real skills. Otherwise, how could he have such a fierce reputation in the grave robbery world? It's impossible to find out exactly where the grave is every time? Over the years, he has stolen countless cultural relics, and even antiques worth more than 5 million yuan. If he applies his skills to the right path, I believe he will certainly do something, but he has applied what he has learned to crooked ways. If he can apply his skills to official archaeological work, he will become a real "granddaddy" in the archaeological field in the future.
In this world, too many people are blinded by fame and fortune, and go to an abyss. Some netizens said: such a person is really a talent, and he can be given a chance to turn over a new leaf, make some contributions to archaeology and Yijing, make up for his mistakes, and train more outstanding talents for China's archaeological cause. After all, such a self-taught farmer is really rare. Although it is illegal and criminal, it is many times less harmful to society than those who kill and set fires. Of course, some netizens think that folk masters from non-professional classes can't be welcomed by the regular army, and there is no stepping stone, just like the imperial doctor Xilaile is squeezed out by Wang Taiyi everywhere.
In today's prosperous society, there are too many helpless things, but we should not forget our initial intentions. As the old saying goes, a gentleman loves money and takes it wisely. We should use what we have learned in the right direction and not go to the wrong abyss at the crossroads of life.
