There are a group of 23-year-old grave robbers. After renting a house near the ancient tomb, they opened a restaurant during the day and dug graves at night to steal cultural relics and sell them. The real purpose is to open a restaurant as a cover for robbery at night, and to open a restaurant during the day is to rob at night. These grave robbers are recidivists, all of whom have criminal records before, and most of them are people the principal criminals once knew in prison. These grave robbers are really hateful. The cultural relics left behind are the wealth of all of us, and they rob graves for their own selfish desires. The destruction of cultural relics in the process of tomb-robbing excavation is simply disastrous. Cultural relics have been deposited in China for 5,000 years, marking the development of China for 5,000 years. Protecting cultural relics is of great significance to our interpretation of history.

Opening restaurants in broad daylight and stealing cultural relics in the middle of the night have been active in the Yellow River Basin. They extended their talons to our ancient tombs again and again, and even developed into a perfect grave robbery gang. Wei Yonggang is the leader of a robbery gang. In 2004, he was sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment 15 years for robbery, and released on 20 1 1 year 1 month. But less than half a year after he came out, he returned to his old job. He contacted his friends in prison to rob the tomb. This time, he aimed at the Qingfan Temple Tower in Xingping City, Shaanxi Province. Generally, such ancient pagodas will collect jewelry, Buddhist scriptures and other cultural relics at the top of the tower or under the underground palace. Wei Yonggang just wants to steal the cultural relics inside.

In 20 1 1 year, Wei Yonggang first arranged for someone to rent a private house not far from Qingfan Temple Tower, opened a snack bar, and under the cover of the sound from the snack bar, found someone to dig a secret passage from the private house to the underground palace of Qingfan Temple Tower, and successfully stole countless cultural relics from the underground palace. 20 13 stole Taita in Xunyi County, Shaanxi Province in the same way. In 20 15, Wei Yonggang stole cultural relics from Binta, Binxian County, Shaanxi Province. Every night, he digs a hole in the ground and carries it away in a bag during the day. This time, he stole a lot of cultural relics, including precious sarcophagus, gold coffin, silver coffin, copper coffin, gold-plated coffin, bronze mirror and other precious cultural relics.

All the members of the robbery gang have criminal records. The 23 defendants who were arrested all had similar life experiences. There are 13 people with criminal records. Some of them are cellmates of the planner Wei Yonggang, and some of them are his relatives. Anyway, they are all idle. This gang has a clear division of labor, and everyone has a low level of education.

It is believed that Wei Yonggang, the principal offender, began to engage in grave robbery less than half a year after he was released from prison. Obviously, his previous prison life has not changed him, nor made him realize his mistakes. It's not that the prison reform didn't enable them to support themselves, but that their nature of indolence has not changed. I don't want to work hard and lead a drunken life, so I want to take risks. Protecting cultural relics is of great significance to us now and to our future generations. Cultural relics are the precipitation of history and the precious wealth left by our ancestors.
