Why is it that professional grave robbers can accurately find ancient tombs, which is worse than experts?
Wang Shixing in Ming Dynasty said in Guang Zhi Yi: "Luoyang is rich in water and soil resources, and burying people is not as good as spring." Grave robbers can basically judge whether there is an ancient tomb underground by observing the color of the excavated soil. In a deeper place, Luoyang shovel a shovel, borrow soil, smell its taste and observe its color, and you can accurately judge whether there is an ancient tomb underground!
Luoyang shovel is a very good invention, even now archaeologists are talking about it, and it is very easy to use. Why is this shovel so magical? It's easy to bring out the underground soil. According to the color of the soil, especially the white paste and mud, it can be concluded that there is an ancient tomb under it by simple discrimination.
The well-known sects, such as Golden Sect, Faqiu Sect, Yishan Sect and Jieji Sect, have been divided into four formulas: Wang, Wen, Wen and Qie. Each sect has its own doorway, and "seeing" means seeing Feng Shui. "Smell" means smell. Ask, "Is it stepping on the scene?" "Qie" means feeling the pulse. Is to use the style of the tomb to find the location of the main tomb!
The old grave robbers are experienced and good at geomantic omen, so they should look at the terrain first wherever they go. When the ancient emperors and generals were buried, they all had to find a place to gather their spirits. Therefore, the knowledge of geomantic omen in ancient times can also be used in modern times. As long as it is a real treasure trove of geomantic omen, it is usually a grave, and it always succeeds. So China was dug up except for a few emperors and princes.
Before liberation, most grave robbers worked alone, only for one night, wearing rat clothes, using both hands and feet, digging holes, entering graves and taking things. It is not easy. But modern grave robbery is more direct, explosives explode, and all kinds of murals and worthless bottles and cans are smashed. Therefore, grave robbery is a great crime since ancient times, which not only disturbed the tranquility of ancestors, but also caused irreversible damage to these cultural relics!
Modern grave robbers usually commit crimes by gangs. High-tech detectors, searchlights and communication equipment are more perfect. Since the reform and opening up, a large number of tombs have been stolen every year, causing irreparable losses. The state stipulates that only tombs can be protected, and they cannot be excavated on their own initiative. Even the tombs in our backyard have to be reported, and there is no substantial reward, which has caused a large number of grave robbers, far more than archaeologists. Therefore, it seems that archaeology is very passive, and it is often that people have almost dug, and archaeologists are late.
The market should play a decisive role in economic operation. Economic benefits can improve productivity, promote the rational allocation of resources, and stimulate the labor enthusiasm of the people (Tao) and the people (mu). Archaeology is paid to death, and it is impossible to have such great enthusiasm. The economic benefits of robbing tombs are far greater than those handed in. So many people are desperate to rob the tomb. If we can improve the incentive mechanism, we can reduce the loss of cultural relics. Why not?
