Archaeologists have found a surprising common denominator when they archaeology the imperial tombs of various dynasties and generations, the legs of their buried concubines are wide open, so why are they all open? What did they go through before they died? After research and analysis by archaeologists, the reason is very cruel.
The emperor had supreme power in ancient times, with 72 concubines in the three palaces and six courts. Friends who have watched court dramas should know that these concubines are intriguing in order to win the emperor's favor. has no background, no wisdom, and may not survive the first two episodes. Whether these concubines can get the emperor's favor or not directly affects the interests of the family, if they get the favor of three thousand, it can be said that their family does not have to struggle, and directly rushes into the nine clouds.
When the emperor was in power, most of them would build imperial tombs for themselves, and the emperors of all dynasties and generations in feudal society believed that there was immortality in the world, and the construction of imperial tombs was to build an underground royal palace for themselves. After a hundred years of death, they will enjoy prosperity in another world, so the imperial tombs they built are also quite extravagant and gorgeous.
Underground Imperial Tombs. After the construction of the imperial mausoleum is completed, these suffering ordinary people will be locked up in the imperial mausoleum and left to fend for themselves in the imperial mausoleum. In a confined space, there is less and less oxygen. In order to survive for a longer period of time and find a chance to get out, the common people often fight each other, and the accomplices die in various ways, most of the legs are separated. Those who can survive by luck will inevitably run out of oxygen and struggle to die, and the deaths are also different.
The reason why the emperor imprisoned these people who built the imperial tomb in the imperial tomb was nothing more than two reasons, one was that after his death, he let the common people continue to be his subjects in another world and serve him. The second is that his imperial tombs were built in advance during his lifetime, and he was afraid that the situation of these ordinary people leaking the imperial tombs would be damaged.
In the long history of our country, there has always been such a cruel system of martyrdom. When the emperor died, he would bury his concubines and court maids with him, so that the concubines could continue to serve him in the other world. The emperor's concubines were very beautiful when the emperor was alive, and after the emperor's death, the wealth and glory of these concubines ended here.

The emperor would bury or bury his concubines. Someone asked what is a funeral and what is a burial? The funeral is that after the death of the emperor, the concubines can not affect their families, and they are willing to end their lives by drinking poisonous wine and hanging themselves, and accompany the emperor together. After the death of the emperor, the concubines were unwilling to accompany the funeral, and were forcibly locked in the coffin, or forcibly locked in the imperial mausoleum, leaving them to fend for themselves, and the concubines would struggle desperately before they died, in thousands of forms, and most of their legs were separated.
Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty really took the martyrdom to the extreme. After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, his concubines, palace maids, and even boys and girls were all buried in pursuit of eternal bliss, and the historical analysis showed that there were less than 50 concubines in the harem alone.

After Zhu Yuanzhang died, he died in the three-foot white silk and was buried directly in the tomb. Archaeologists found that there were many scratches on the inner walls of these coffins, which also showed that they were locked up alive inside, how helpless and painful these people were before this, and their legs were also separated.
Some concubines and palace maids were knocked unconscious and thrown into the imperial tomb, and when they woke up, it was dark inside, and they searched for life everywhere in order to survive, and finally died in all corners of the imperial tomb, and their bodies were not very normal when they died.
Sometimes, in order to prevent the bodies of these concubines and palace maids from being decomposed, they forcibly inject a large amount of mercury into their bodies when they are alive, and people are very uncomfortable and painful in the process, so their legs are even more irregular.

This cruel burial system has existed for thousands of years in the long river of Chinese history, and many innocent lives have become sacrifices of princes and nobles. The dregs of feudal society, the inequality between men and women, and the people at the lower levels have no rights to speak of. This cruel system not only demonstrated the power and wealth of the emperor, but also a manifestation of ignorance, and it was not until the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty that this cruel feudal dross was abolished.
The remains of these martyrs found by archaeologists tell a tragic history, and these martyrs may never be able to speak for themselves, but their existence makes us cherish the current life and power even more.
