What is the easiest way to find an ancient tomb in the countryside? It is illegal to rob a tomb just for profit.

Nowadays, due to the emergence of tomb-robbing series novels such as tomb-robbing notes and ghost-blowing lanterns, the whole social entertainment atmosphere has begun to be interested in exploring tomb-robbing and enjoy the mystery and excitement. Of course, many friends who have lived in the countryside for a long time have often heard about some methods used by some rural people to find graves, and from time to time they have heard that some people in a village have dug up some antiques. Many people are also interested in exploring ancient tombs. Want to know how rural people look for ancient tombs, I will share them with you here. However, I want to remind you that it is illegal to rob a tomb. Don't do anything illegal. I just answer questions for those curious friends here.

Rural people's search for ancient tombs is mainly summarized in four words, namely, "looking", "smelling", "asking" and "cutting". Here we will explain it from these four words:

1. "Look" means looking at Feng Shui and vegetation. Most experienced grave robbers are good at geomantic omen, and they should look at the terrain first wherever they go. Because the ancients were superstitious about geomantic omen, most ancient tombs were built on "geomantic treasures", such as places near mountains and rivers, especially at the corner of ancient rivers, which must be the place where tombs gathered. In addition, the vegetation and even the soil around the grave are important basis for grave robbers to make judgments. For example, where there are ancient tombs, because the soil has been dug and trampled, the growth of crops will be worse than that next to it.

2. "Smell" means smell, and whether there is a tomb in a certain place can be distinguished according to different smells. For example, in Qin and Han tombs, mercury and cinnabar are often injected for anticorrosion; However, the tomb walls after the Tang and Song Dynasties were generally painted with green paste and mud. The smell of these special substances is difficult for ordinary people to detect, but grave robbers can always identify them keenly. Another meaning of "smell" is listening to sound. Generally, when a tomb is shaken, such as thunder in the air, it will make different sounds to the surface.

"The Qing dynasty JiaoSi, good at finding the tomb by voice. He used to look for a cemetery when it thundered, and he could accurately locate the grave according to the echo. Most tombs in the Ming Dynasty are located on the sunny side of the mountain, in contact with soil layers and cliffs.

3. "Q" means stepping on the spot. Grave robbers are generally eloquent, especially good at chatting with the elderly about the past and present. Wherever they go, they will visit local old people as fortune tellers or geomancers, and get information about ancient tombs from local legends through conversation. Sometimes they also collect information through local chronicles.

4. "Cutting" is the most important link. First, after the discovery of the ancient tomb, according to the surface topography, accurately find the location of the hole and enter the ancient tomb in the shortest distance; Second, after the coffin was opened in the tomb, the treasures of the deceased were not missed; Third, after contact with cultural relics, you can judge which dynasty it belongs to and how much it is worth.
