The legend of the ancient tombs and the most beautiful tombstones in history

Grave (grave robbery) is a story that has often taken place over thousands of years in China, especially in ancient times. Grave originated from the Three Kingdoms period in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Moreover, the ancestor of this profession was none other than Cao Cao.

According to some old records, at that time Cao Cao, in order to accumulate budgets for the generals, had specially established two more generals groups in the army. That was the stage of the lieutenant general and the leader of the lieutenant, equivalent to the position in charge of the national grave team, the main job was to find the tombs to steal assets into the fortune fund.

Although the tomb is a less welcome job, but still folklore many interesting legends surrounding the grave. For example, the story of Ngu Tu Tu punishes the Department during the Spring and Autumn war period. Ngu Tu Tu, due to discord with the So state, fled to Ngo. According to the record in 'Describe the story' , Ngu Tu Tu after being privileged to be the prime minister by the side of Ngo, led the army to conquer the land of So. He sent soldiers to search for the tomb of the Binh Vuong Department that had just died. However, they did not find the result because the Department of Binh Vuong, previously afraid of the tomb's location was revealed, sent someone to kill all the grave builders.

But after many searches, Ngu Tu Tu still found the tomb of King So Binh Vuong, digging and bringing his body to whip 300 whips to release his grudge to kill his father. It can be said that Ngu Tu Tu Tu is considered the most wonderful devotee in history.
