Wu Zetian’s tomb has been safe and sound for thousands of years. Who is behind it?

Many people say that the Qianling Mausoleum is safe and sound because Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng have good Feng Shui and are blessed by the gods. But looking at ancient and modern times, which emperor would not seek the advice of a Feng Shui master when selecting a cemetery, but most imperial tombs cannot escape the exploration of tomb robbers. With the advancement of science and technology, we gradually learned that the reason why the Qianling Mausoleum is so well preserved is mainly because of its geographical location. The Qianling Mausoleum was built exactly halfway up the mountain. For tomb robbers, mining is very inconvenient.

Since ancient times, imperial mausoleums have been extremely popular places for tomb robbers, because they contain various rare treasures, and some are particularly magnificent projects like the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. What makes Wu Zetian's Qianling Mausoleum different from other emperors is that it contains not only Wu Zetian, a once-in-a-thousand-year empress, but also her husband Tang Gaozong. But even though so many years have passed, Qianlong is still intact without any damage. This has become a miraculous thing, and people can't help but start to make various speculations.

One of the most common speculations is Feng Shui. The cemetery of Wu Zetian and Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty has a long history. It was a Feng Shui treasure land selected by two Feng Shui masters together. It is said that in order to select a cemetery, both Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng were sent to search for treasures. In order to remember the place he found, Li Chunfeng threw a copper coin here, while Yuan Tiangang dropped a silver coin to mark the place. When the two people came back one after another, they discovered that they had chosen the same place. What was even more exaggerated was that Yuan Tiangang's silver hairpin happened to be thrown into the gap between Li Chunfeng's copper coins.

It is conceivable that the place chosen by two great god-level figures must be a geomantic treasure. Therefore, Wu Zetian and Tang Gaozong chose this place. And people also believe that the reason why Qianling Mausoleum can be so well protected is because the Feng Shui that the gods have seen is really good, so that it can be blessed by the gods and prevent thousands of tomb robbers from violating it.
