Someone once asked me: "Why do so many people love to read the story of digging up graves?"
I heard the sanctimonious gentlemen say: "Robbing tombs to obtain treasures satisfies most people's desire to get rich overnight."
But if you just want to get rich overnight, why not watch a movie about robbing the vault of the Federal Bank of the United States.
In fact, Feng Shui and tomb culture have existed in China for thousands of years.
Since ancient times, thick burials have been common, and the social phenomenon of tomb robbing has also emerged.
Theft of ancient tombs is not entirely for the purpose of seeking wealth.
For example, when the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, The Yuan people dug up the imperial tombs of the Southern Song Dynasty to cut off the dragon veins of the Southern Dynasty, which was for political purposes; Wu Zixu dug up the tomb of the King of Chu and whipped three hundred corpses for revenge; during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, a certain emperor was very lustful , he heard that there was a concubine in the previous dynasty who was so beautiful that the country was so beautiful.
Unfortunately, the beauty had passed away.
He didn't have the chance to see her, so he tried every means to Some people find excuses to change the tomb coffin for a beauty, and take the opportunity to take a look at the body of the beauty.
This is a tomb robbery out of lust; some people dig up ancient tombs in order to find the secret recipe that has been lost for many years.
In short, the motives for tomb robbing and the methods of tomb robbing are also endless. , because ancient Chinese history and culture are included in it, and at the same time Countless anecdotes and folklore have been derived from it.
Stories about tomb robbing must be inseparable from these contents.
The entrance to every ancient tomb is like a door to ancient times, where you can touch history and interpret traditional culture. , Discovering the disappeared past, I think this is far more attractive than making money from treasures.
The "Nuo" mentioned in the book Guishi Erlu has the same pronunciation as the word "moving".
Nuo culture is a very ancient culture.
The word "Nuo" is divided into two.
The left side represents people and the right side represents difficulties.
Ancient people commonly faced Difficulties are incurable diseases and death, so there is "Nuo" to get rid of these difficulties.
To put it simply, it specializes in subduing monsters and catching monsters.
There are clear records of the Nuo system since the Han Dynasty.
Every step of the process of searching for Nuo and exorcising evil spirits in the Han palace has strict regulations.
In fact, the ancient Nuo sacrifice has existed since primitive society and took shape during the Western Zhou Dynasty.
From the pre-Qin to the end of the Han Dynasty, Nuo was a pure religion.
The belief is mysterious and strict.
During the development and evolution of the following two thousand years, the three religions of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism absorbed and merged with each other.
According to legend, among the "talismans, hymns, rituals, props and temples", Nuo opera and dance that entertain both gods and people are the most famous.
Whenever Nuo sacrifices are held in the countryside, it must be very lively.
According to different local customs, Nuo sacrifices and The legends of Nuo gods are also different, such as the difference between "open Nuo, closed mouth Nuo, Wen Nuo, and Wu Nuo".
The novel is not intended to examine Nuo culture.
Here I only mention one or two interesting folk legends.
Let's talk about the "Twenty-Four Divine Generals" first.
It is said that Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, was also said to be a certain emperor of the Song Dynasty or Han Dynasty.
In short, the emperor heard that Master Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain was very powerful and wanted to try his skills. means, In advance, he ordered twenty-four people to hide in the palace and play musical instruments, and then told Zhang Tianshi that the palace was haunted, and ordered him to use methods to get rid of the ghosts.
Zhang Tianshi beheaded the twenty-four people with a flying sword, and their ghosts have not left the palace ever since.
There's really something going on here , alarmed the emperor's holy chariot, and had to confer these twenty-four ghosts as Nuo generals.
The leader was the Nuo god "General Ouyang Jinjia".
The related Nuo opera is commonly known as the Twenty-Four Opera.
The theme of the Nuo opera is "Exterminate demons and monsters to ensure peace and good harvest."
The last scene is usually performed by the Nuo God, who points his sword forward and writes a big word "harvest" in the sky, indicating that all the demons and monsters have been subdued and the world is at peace.
This ends the twenty-four plays.
There is more than one Nuo god.
For example, the ancient Nuo more than 3,000 years ago worshiped Fang Xiang, who ate ghosts, as a god.
The eating of ghosts by mythical beasts is also an important part of Nuo.
There is a lot of mandrill dancing in Nuo dance, and mandrills are not what we call them now.
A baboon is a one-legged ghost that walks and jumps.

Because the tradition of Nuo is very ancient, many religious ceremonies of later generations have the shadow of Nuo.
Camphor wood masks are the characteristics of Nuo.
According to legend, someone unearthed a bronze mask three or four thousand years ago.
The original Nuo rituals used copper masks.
Later, unknown events occurred, and the bronze masks were destroyed.
They did not dare to use them again in the future, so wooden masks were used as replacements. , this legend is too old.
Who left the excavated bronze masks?
Later, they didn’t dare to use them and now they are all lost, leaving a lot of room for imagination.
The novel mentions that the mask comes from the ancient Guifang country.
During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, the surrounding small countries were called Fang, that is, Fang country, and Guifang was one of them.
As for whether the ancient Nuo mask is a relic of the Guifang people, it is still a mystery
