At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo moved south to Chang 'an under the threat of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty, "and ordered Lu Bu to send him to the imperial tomb and collect his treasure". At the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, hungry people in Chang 'an dug up the remaining tombs of Ba and Du in the southeast of Chang 'an. ?
Some serious social unrest in the Han Dynasty, such as the rebellion of Wu Chu in the Seven Kingdoms, the riot that overthrew the Xin Mang Dynasty, and so on, all recorded large-scale grave robbery. These grave-robbing activities reached their climax in the Han and Wei Dynasties.
According to historical records, in order to prepare for military supplies, Cao Cao once set up official positions such as "Touching the Gold Captain" and "Faqiu corps commander" to be responsible for grave robbery. He stole 72 ships of gold, silver and jewels during the excavation of Liang Xiaowang Mausoleum in the Western Han Dynasty. In addition, the regime of Sun Wu in the south of the Yangtze River once dug up the tombs of nobles in the Western Han Dynasty in Changsha and Jiangling. ?
At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, after the Red Eyebrow Army opened the door of Maoling, tens of thousands of soldiers moved for dozens of days, and half of the funerary objects in the mausoleum remained untouched. Until the Western Jin Dynasty three hundred years later, the pearls and jades in the mausoleum were not stolen. Baling of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and Ling Du of Xuan Di are known as "frugal people", but there are still "thousands of pearls and jade".
As for the Mausoleum of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, because it has enjoyed the country for a long time, it "no longer carries things". After being excavated by the Red Eyebrow Army, hundreds of years later, it is still "rotten silk and rotten jade, and there are endless pearls and jade". In the late Han Dynasty, the Red Eyebrow Army excavated a large number of caves in the Five Mausoleums, including tombs. Under the cover of the nest, if an egg is laid, the grave buried with it will also suffer. Lv Hou's body was insulted and teased by the peasant army in broad daylight.
