Thieves have their own ways. What are the rules of grave robbers' business?

As the saying goes, "the family has its own laws." People engaged in different occupations should abide by the corresponding industry rules. Even grave robbers are no exception. Many people think that grave robbers are bold and unscrupulous, but they don't know that thieves also have their own professional qualities.

The wind of grave robbery has existed since ancient times. After nearly a thousand years' development, tomb raiding is not only divided into southern school and northern school, but also formulated relevant professional rules. To sum up, grave robbers do three things instead of digging three tombs.

First of all, the three tombs are not excavated, specifically: the people's tombs are not excavated, the righteous tombs are not excavated, and the near tombs are not excavated. "Law" means disclosure and publicity. The first folk grave, as its name implies, refers to the grave of the poor family or ordinary people. This kind of tomb generally has few funerary objects, and the reason why grave robbers rob the tomb is to covet the precious treasures and cultural relics in the tomb. Folk graves don't have much digging value, so they naturally won't try to dig.

The tomb of Er Yi refers to the tomb of heroes who are loyal to the liver, righteous and courageous and the tomb of pure and holy women in history. For example, Yue Fei, a well-known warrior against gold, is deeply admired and valued by the people. Grave robbers also stay at a respectful distance from them and don't want to rob graves intentionally.

The last near tomb refers to a new grave that has just been buried, and many people have died. Grave robbers think that stealing the newly buried tomb will bring disaster to themselves. The new tomb is heavily guarded and people often go there. Tomb raiding is easy to be found at this time, so they won't touch this cemetery.

Grave robbers don't steal these three kinds of tombs for different reasons. Besides, what are the three things they don't do? Why are they afraid to do these three things?

First: don't destroy your body. In ancient times, people attached great importance to the body after death. For some people who have committed serious crimes, it is a favor to leave the whole body before execution. For ordinary people, it is natural to hope that the buried relatives can keep the body intact.

Grave robbers understand that digging graves is immoral, and then deliberately destroy their bodies, which is even more harmful. Moreover, grave robbers only want treasures, and the owner's body is of no value to them, so the first thing they don't do in the grave robbery regulations is not to destroy the body.

The second thing: don't destroy the coffin, it doesn't mean to keep the coffin intact. After all, in some noble tombs, there are a lot of funerary objects in coffins, which are valuable, so it is impossible for grave robbers not to steal them. "Don't destroy" here means not to demolish by violence, but to open the coffin as reasonably as possible and preserve the funerary objects in the coffin to the maximum extent. After all, coffins are places where people sleep after death, and grave robbers don't want to destroy them casually.

The third is not to destroy the yin house, that is, the grave, on the grounds that it is harmful to Yin De. After all, it is difficult to rob a tomb, and under the influence of superstition, people who rob a tomb are unwilling to damage their own virtue.

In any case, even if grave robbers have more professional qualities, it is against morality to rob them. Nowadays, grave robbery is prohibited by law. The discovered ancient tombs should be rationally protected and cannot be destroyed at will.
