Because of Cao Cao's decision, the tombs of the Han Dynasty, which were very close to the Three Kingdoms period, were looted on a large scale. One of the stolen tombs of the Han Dynasty belonged to Liu Wu, a vassal of the Western Han Dynasty who owned many fiefs. Moreover, this person's own ability is also outstanding, and his achievements are remarkable, so he has won many awards. Plus, his mother, Princess Dou Taihou, dotes on him, and will give him anything good. Under the joint action of these factors, Liu Wu's wealth before his death was extremely rich. Based on his wealth before his death, his funerary objects after his death are numerous and precious, and his tomb should be the richest in the Western Han Dynasty.
However, his grave was also looted during the Three Kingdoms period, and valuables such as gold and jewelry were looted. Therefore, when archaeologists excavated this tomb, they didn't have any hope and felt that there was nothing valuable in it. To their surprise, they found a golden jade dress in Liu Wu's tomb.
Why was this golden jade garment not taken away by Cao Cao? Some people speculated that it was because he didn't notice it, and others speculated that it was because the ancients were more taboo about jade. No matter what reason Cao Cao didn't take this gold and jade garment at the beginning, it is definitely a windfall for the archaeological community, and this windfall is valuable. According to experts' assessment, this gold and jade garment is now worth as much as 2.4 billion yuan, which can be said to be valuable.
