What are the top ten unsolved mysteries in ancient China?

First, the mystery of Jiuding lost in the Western Zhou Dynasty.

Jiuding, an artifact of the town, belongs to Gubao! According to legend, Xia Qi collected rare birds and animals, painted them into pictures, and let craftsmen carve them on Jiuding. The tripod symbolizes a country, and Jiuding symbolizes Kyushu, which embodies national unity and centralized kingship. As the treasure of Xia, Shang and Zhou towns, it has been circulated for more than two thousand years. Does Jiuding still exist? It is still an unsolved mystery!

Second, the mystery that the ancient tomb "ever-burning lamp" will never go out.

The ancient tomb "ever-burning lamp" was first seen in myths and legends. It is said that the eternal fire is the fire of the heavenly palace, and Prometheus secretly brought it back to the world. Around the world, grave robbers go to ancient tombs to steal jewelry. Ancient tombs are often isolated from the world, and the treasures are still intact after thousands of years. According to common sense, ancient tombs should be invisible all year round, but some ancient tombs have "ever-burning lamps" hanging on their vaults, and the shade is very threatening and creepy. Why can such a magical lamp exist for thousands of years?

3. Where will the Warring States and Cui go?

And the jade has been passed down for thousands of years, and the exotic goods can live and be of great value. "Returning to Zhao in perfect condition" is even more legendary! Where does she flow? Opinions vary. The only thing that is certain is that this treasure jade is still on earth. Because it can withstand the high temperature of 1300 degrees Celsius, ordinary fires cannot be burned. After Qin destroyed six countries, Ying Zheng finally got the treasure. Some people say that the king of Qin broke the harmony and carved the words "all are subject to Yongchang", which is an imperial edict handed down from generation to generation. It passed through the hands of Liu Bang, Wang Mang and Sima Yan and spread to the later Tang Dynasty. Shi Jingtang destroyed the later Tang Dynasty, and Li Congke burned jade in the later Tang Dynasty, and his whereabouts were unknown from then on.

Fourth, the mystery of the Millennium stainless bronze sword.

As the "eighth wonder of the world", the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang are one of the greatest archaeological discoveries in the 20th century! Along with the Terracotta Warriors, a number of bronze swords were unearthed. The body of the sword is bright and clean, and the blade of the sword is very fine. After sleeping in the ground for more than 2000 years, it is as bright as new and extremely sharp.

5. Where are the twelve bronze men of the Qin Dynasty now?

The first emperor of the ages, Qin Shihuang left too many mysteries to future generations, and twelve bronze men were one of them! Why do you want to cast twelve bronze men? The reason is not so important. The disappearance of the twelve bronze men has puzzled future generations! There are three kinds of speculations about the whereabouts of the twelve bronze men: some people say that the overlord of the West Chu conquered Xianyang and set fire to Epang Palace, and the twelve bronze men were burned to death together; Some people say that twelve bronze men were destroyed in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, Dong Zhuo used up ten copper coins, and the other two were destroyed by Fu Jian. There is another saying that is optimistic. According to historical records, the twelve bronze men were not destroyed. Twelve bronze men were Qin Shihuang's favorite things. After the mausoleum was built, they were buried with other jewels. Due to some technical factors, the excavation of Qin tomb can not be carried out for the time being, so the whereabouts of the twelve bronze men are still unknown.

Six, regret "Lanting Preface"

The Preface to the Lanting Pavilion, known as the "first running script of the ages", is the pinnacle of Wang Xizhi, a book sage, with high artistic value, which has been lost for thousands of years and makes people miss it! According to historical records, in the testamentary edict of Emperor Taizong, it was explicitly requested that the Preface to Lanting be buried with him. In other words, this treasure should be in Zhaoling. In the Five Dynasties, Wen Tao exterminated humanity, excavated Zhaoling Mausoleum, and found the original calligraphy works of Zhong You and Wang Xizhi, which spread all over the world, but did not mention the Preface to Lanting, resulting in a headless case.

Seven, "Luo Shen Fu" for whom?

Among the "Three Caos", Cao is known for his literary talent. Besides his seven-step poems, he is also famous for introducing Luo Shenfu for the first time. Who is the goddess of Luoshui in Cao Zhi's ode to Luoshen? Become a mystery that history cannot solve!

8. Why did Wu Zetian set up a tablet without words?

It has been a practice since ancient times, but Wu Zetian is an exception! Why did Wu Zetian set up a tablet without words? Different people have different views, and wise people have different views. One theory is that Wu Zetian, in order to boast of herself, showed that her merits could not be expressed in words; One argument is that Wu Zetian knew that she was smart, and "right and wrong" was left to later generations to comment; There is also a saying that Wu Zetian is in a dilemma. When she thought of being buried with Emperor Gaozong after her death, no matter whether she claimed to be the emperor or the queen, it was difficult to put pen to paper, so she was simply "nameless" and let future generations draw a conclusion. Wu Zetian's "tablet without words" left a mystery for later generations. Not so much writing as not writing, which became an interesting conversation.

Nine, the mystery of the whereabouts of the original Yongle Grand Ceremony in Ming Dynasty

Yongle Dadian is a wonderful book through the ages! It is said that 3000 people participated in the compilation, which lasted for three years and contained 22000 volumes. Ming Chengzu was very satisfied and prefaced himself. Regrettably, from the publication of Yongle Dadian to the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the original destination became a case-solving.

10. Where is the treasure of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?

The failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is a sigh, and the disappearance of the great jewels of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is equally regrettable. Tianjing fell, the whole army was wiped out, and a large number of jewels came out of thin air. China and foreign countries spread the wealth of flood rebellion, gold and silver are like the sea, department stores are full, and more property is hidden underground. After Li Xiucheng was captured, Zeng Guofan coerced and repeatedly asked about the whereabouts of gold and silver, which is also the reason why Zhongjun was slow to be executed. Strong and unyielding, the loyal king was also loyal. He never revealed the whereabouts of the jewels. Some people even drained the lake in the back garden of Tianwangfu and dug three feet, but found nothing. Storing jewelry like this is an appetite and a never-ending treasure hunt!
