There has always been a saying in ancient times that "things die like life". They believe that people can live a luxurious life in another world after death. In fact, he himself and his family knew it was impossible, but it was also a spiritual sustenance of ancient society. So the custom of thick burial came into being.

Generally speaking, after the king of a country ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, he usually considered his own affairs, such as building his own mausoleum. They consumed a lot of manpower and material resources in society, and even requisitioned troops to help build it to show their status. He Xiu's Note in The Biography of the Ram: "The son of heaven is Jiuding, the princes are seven, the doctors are five, and the scholars are three." It means: the emperor used Jiuding, the vassal used seven ding, the doctor used five ding, and the yuan scholar used three ding. The funerary objects are not used at will, and there is a very strict hierarchy!

Generally speaking, when dignitaries die, the funerary objects are generally things they used before their death, such as the famous Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha, which is the family cemetery of Hou Licang, the prime minister of Changsha in the early Western Han Dynasty. The owner of Tomb No.2 is Hou Licang, Prime Minister of Changsha in the early Han Dynasty. The first tomb is Li Cang's wife, and the third tomb is Li Cang's son. In the 1970s, a large number of funerary objects were unearthed, including more than 3,000 relics such as coffins, silks, silk paintings, lacquerware, Chinese herbal medicines and even various grains, so that they could live an equally distinguished life after death.

This is back to the subject. Why bury so many valuable things for future generations after death? Not really. As we all know, there are cases in real life. When someone dies in the family, generally speaking, everything they have before their death will be burned to them, such as clothes, photos and documents. , especially clothes. On the one hand, there will be no shortage of these clothes at home. On the other hand, when they see what they used before their death, they always burn it together. Of course, China is relatively large, and the funeral customs vary from place to place. I just take my place as an example.

So in ancient times, it was almost the same idea. These are not necessarily lacking in the families of ordinary dignitaries. Of course, the most important thing is to match your identity! For example, the mausoleum of Qin Shihuang! The terracotta warriors and horses buried alone, according to former US President Bill Clinton, are the real eighth wonder in the world! Besides, the underground tomb of Qin Shihuang has not been opened yet. There is also the tomb of Liu He, a seamstress in Nanchang, which was discovered two years ago. Burial objects are extremely luxurious! Horseshoe gold, pure gold and gold cakes are calculated by the pound, five baht by the ton, and countless jade articles and bronzes!

Finally, to sum up, no matter these kings of a country or dignitaries, their good wishes have finally failed. The extremely luxurious funerary objects did not bring them a luxurious life before their death, but were rescued by archaeologists one by one. These precious cultural relics have enriched museums all over the country, left a deep impression on the archaeological history of our country, and also gave our future generations a chance to see the elegant demeanor. These dignitaries, did you lie on the ground and guess the ending?
