There are grave robbers all over the world. They tried their best to steal gold, silver and jewels buried in ancient tombs for thousands of years. Ancient tombs are usually isolated from the world, making these treasures well preserved after thousands of years. In this dark tomb all the year round, grave robbers usually think it should be opaque. However, they are sometimes horrified to find that on the vaults of some ancient tombs, a bright lamp emits a faint light. This kind of lamp is called the ever-burning lamp.

In 527 AD, Syria was under the rule of the Eastern Roman Empire. At that time, soldiers in East Rome, Syria, found a lamp in a niche of a pass, which was covered with a delicate cover, as if to keep out the wind. According to the inscription found at that time, this lamp was lit in 27 AD. When the soldiers found it, the lamp had been burning for 500 years! Unfortunately, savage soldiers soon destroyed it, and the principle of this mysterious lamp is unknown.

In A.D. 1400, it was found that such a lamp was also lit in the tomb of the son of the ancient Roman king, and it has been burning for more than 2000 years! Wind and water can do nothing about it, and the only way to put out the fire is to pump the strange liquid from the lamp bowl.

In A.D. 1534, the troops of King Henry VIII of England rushed into the English church, dissolved religious groups, and dug and robbed many graves. When they were digging the grave of the father of the Roman emperor Constantine in Yorkshire, they found a burning lamp. Constantine's father died in 300 AD, which means the lamp burned 1234!

Why does every household in China have to light up until dawn on New Year's Eve?

Because in ancient China, it is said that on New Year's Eve, all ghosts and gods came out to look for food because the gods went to heaven, especially those ghosts, such as raccoons, raccoons, who didn't worship during the Chinese New Year and the holidays, were even more popular (because there were many cakes in every family that night? )。 If you blow out the lights and can't see the world in the dark, you will catch people with the sound, especially in the middle of the night when children cry and old people cough, and their lives are hard to protect.
