Those slang words in the grave robbery circle

Grave robbing is a shady business, which is called "digging ancestral graves" by ordinary people. Not only illegal, but also contrary to human relations. Therefore, grave robbers have their own set of contact code words when stealing, which is what people call slang.

Support the pot, inverted bucket and turn over the meat dumplings

In the underground grave robbery industry, perhaps everyone thinks that the most commonly used word is "grave robbery", but in fact it is never said in the circle.

In the past, among the grave robbers in Shaanxi and Shanxi, "supporting the pot" was the favorite to represent grave robbery. The original intention of supporting the pot is to build a stove. In the early years, people went out to make a living and cooked a triangular table temporarily, so that the pot would not be black. Put it on, and then make a fire to cook, so it's called "supporting the pot". Later, "supporting the pot" evolved into the beginning of a family life, and grave robbers used it as a robbery, which was very vivid. Correspondingly, if "the pot can't hold", it is robbery and returning empty-handed, which is also called "walking empty".

In the morning in Henan, northern Jiangsu and other places, her daughter Lu goose was putting fried dough sticks in a tumbling oil pan when several Japanese planes suddenly flew in and the hen dropped several bombs under the light. After the thunder, Lu's father and daughter hurried to clean up their stalls and prepare to go home. At this time, neighbors came to report that a bomb had landed in Lu's house. Next to Lv Gui's wife, she screamed and fainted. It turns out that Lv Gui has a young son of 15 years old who is still sleeping in the house. Grave robbers naturally like to call grave robbery "digging (planing) sweet potatoes". Southern grave robbers described grave robbery as a "meat-turning group". Similar to this context is "turning salted fish", which was commonly used by grave robbers in the north in the past. Why is it called "jiaozi with minced meat" and "salted fish"? This has something to do with the anonymity of the bodies in the grave robbery circle.

"inverted bucket" is a slang term for grave robbery that many readers know at present. Many tomb-robbing protagonists are everywhere in tomb-robbing novels. It is actually wrong to say this sentence often. In the past, only grave robbers around Beijing and northeast China such as Shenyang would say this. The so-called "fight" is the coffin. Inverted bucket said: "Guang Chen, what happened to that shoe patch?" Is to take out the things in the coffin, and naturally it is a grave robbery.

Digging mushrooms. Yes, yes, old man. """big search"

During the period of the Republic of China, grave robbers who came from soldiers and bandits in Beijing often called grave robbery "blowing up graves". The emergence of this word is directly related to the innovation of grave robbery means.

The traditional way to rob a tomb is to dig with tools such as Luoyang shovel. After explosives were widely used in modern military activities, grave robbers began to pay attention to and use them. When carving a coffin and a burial man, Bao Er recognized it. A few days later, more than 100 clay dolls had their own names. Mr. Wang asked Bao Er to move things one by one in an instant, which was extremely efficient. The earliest use of this blasting method in grave robbery should be the warlord grave robbers in the Republic of China, among which Sun Dianying was the most influential.

However, Sun Dianguo and Cai Yuan never got sick again. On the contrary, she is more energetic. Over the years, she found a wife, gave birth to a fat boy, and lived a good life. When the British thieves dug the tomb of Dongqing, it was a "grave robbery." At that time, he was worried that the blasting would make a loud noise and lied about testing new mines in advance. Modern grave robbers are much smarter than Sun Dianying, with red buds a foot long and vines climbing the gourd rack. Green leaves grow, yellow flowers bloom, yellow flowers fall, and a big melon grows. More advanced technology: directional blasting, remote control blasting, expansion blasting and other advanced military combat means have been applied to grave robbery activities.

There are many slang words in the circle of grave robbery around ancient Beijing. "Grave-sweeping" is just one of the representative languages such as "digging mushrooms", "rummaging through boxes", "sweeping warehouses" and "filtering pits" in the afternoon of the Republic of China in Beijing. When the scholars in Beijing and Han Dynasty heard this, they were shocked and suddenly recovered their composure: "Old gentleman, are you kidding? I have never won chess. This is the worst chess basket in the world. " Don't make fun of me, but I hope the old gentleman will give me some advice and guidance. "Grave robbers in Hebei often say." Turning over the chamber "means digging in the grave." If it is "turning over the chamber", it is to dig directly from the top of the tomb to the end by the common method of "uncovering the top" in modern archaeology; "Filter pit" refers to slang used by ordinary grave robbers when they rob a stolen grave.

"Planing antiques" and "Planing jiaozi"

Ancient and modern grave robbers don't think their behavior is a crime, in their view. There is no difference between robbing a tomb and going out to work as a normal means of making a living and getting rich. In Luoyang, Henan Province, the slang for robbing a tomb was called "planing antiques", revealing that Jingwei was originally the daughter of Yan Di, the sun god, and was an underage girl. People in the Central Plains call this child "Wa", and this little girl, everyone calls her "Nu Wa". Kind of mentality.

"planing antiques" appeared in the late Qing dynasty and became more popular in the Republic of China. During my local research in recent years, I found that it is still used in the circle. This slang comes from this: during the Republic of China, people called the cultural relics left by predecessors antiques, or antiques, antiques, antiques and so on. In the 25th year of Guangxu reign in Qing dynasty (1899), he praised the construction of Confucianism in Qing dynasty and blushed. Luobian Railway connecting Luoyang and Kaifeng (now part of Longhai Railway) passed Mangshan Mountain, and a large number of ancient tombs were destroyed, and funerary objects were thrown around. At first, no one wanted these antiques. People thought they were unlucky. Later, antique dealers came to buy it. When they can sell money, the local people suddenly wake up and have been carrying tools for many years. The caravan selling jade got lost when passing by the lost horse. Everyone in the caravan was in a hurry and didn't know what to do. At this time, people found a lonely goose lying on the ground not far away, constantly whining. A kind-hearted young man stepped forward, picked up the wild goose, held it in his arms, and planned to release it after going out. Selling mountaineering antiques. When the land could not be leveled, they began to dig graves. Gradually, however, this incident was later known by a businessman-only that everyone likes to eat jade sand, only that jade sand was called by that young man to sweep it, but I don't know where it came from. The businessman thought to himself: Everyone loves jade sand. If I find out the origin of jade sand, get all the jade sand and sell it to everyone at a high price, I can make a fortune! The businessman hurried to the seaside to look for the young man. He swam at the seaside until dark, only to see the young man come back from fishing. The businessman quickly stopped the young man and said, "Young man, I want to ask you something." "planing antiques" has become synonymous with local grave robbery. There is also a saying that "planing antiques" originated from the "planing" behavior of local people.

It should be noted that the slang for the red gang to rob a tomb is called "open a dead ticket". The underworld calls hostage-taking "kidnapping" for the living. The author speculates that the statement of "opening a dead ticket" may come from this, and "dead ticket" should refer to a dead body.

Tomb raiding is unpopular, so people describe it as "robbing a dark room", which later became Jianghu slang.

Killing a partner is called a "living species"

The main motive of robbing a tomb is to obtain the buried treasure and "borrow money for consumption" from the deceased. There is also a saying in the circle about these stolen things. Because grave robbers have more contact with cultural relics dealers, many argots are similar to the jargon of antique shops. For example, gold is called "gopher", silver is called "earthworm", copper is called "ground snake", and so on.

Stolen funerary objects are stolen goods, which are called "rat goods" in ancient antique shops. Grave robbers certainly wouldn't say that. They are generally called "heads". During the Republic of China, grave robbers in Beiping called them "unearthed objects". Hearing this, the owner of Liulichang antique shop got the message and knew that it had just been stolen from the tomb. Such goods are also called "".What are the casualties? "These people guess. The fortune teller thought about it and saw one car after another that night. It is estimated that more than 10,000 people were killed in this disaster. It was later confirmed that about 20,000 people died. Raw pit goods. "

Ten grave robbers are greedy for money, so it is not uncommon to hide stolen goods in the grave robbery circle. The slang in the circle calls this behavior "private eating". Eating private food and "eating black food" in bandit circles are the same thing, which is severely sanctioned and prohibited. There were many terrible rules in ancient tomb raiding circles. Two couples knelt down in fear and begged the master to leave the master's seat to the master! Rao, say, I will discipline my son well, and if the two families go to court again, I am willing to punish him severely. When the two families opened their mouths, the husband sang along with the woman, and the brother said that the younger brother obeyed, and they all swore to ensure intergenerational reconciliation. The drunkard's intention is not to drink, and he said, "You don't want to divorce your wife or your son. I can't judge this lawsuit!" " Eating privately is scary. If your partner finds out, it will end badly, usually being killed.

In the Republic of China, the way to deal with cannibalism in the grave robbery circle in Beiping was to make him a "fairy", which is also slang in the circle, meaning to be buried alive. If you want to keep the treasure for yourself and kill your partner in a stolen cave or grave, slang is called "living species"
