Li Jingxun, also known as Li Xiaozi, was indeed a famous figure during the Sui Dynasty. His story reflects certain customs and values of the society of the time. According to historical records, Li Child is Yang Lihua's most beloved granddaughter, and Yang Lihua herself is the queen of Emperor Xuan of the Northern Zhou Dynasty Yu Wenyun, and she is also the stepdaughter of Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian. Due to Yang Lihua's prominent political position and the power of her family, she was able to hold a luxurious funeral for Li Xiaozi and purchased a large number of precious funeral goods.
The sarcophagus of the child was indeed made to resemble his mansion during his lifetime, so that he could enjoy similar treatment in the other world. Among the funerary goods was indeed an extremely luxurious gold necklace, which became a precious discovery in the history of Chinese archaeology. The value of this gold necklace is extremely high, reflecting Yang Lihua's deep affection for Li Xiaozi and her determination to see him off at all costs.
As for the curse engraved on the sarcophagus, "whoever opens is dead", it reflects an ancient belief in the afterlife and the protection of tombs from invasion. The purpose of the curse is to deter grave robbing and ensure that the deceased can rest in peace.
Indeed, Yang Lihua purchased an extremely rich tomb for her granddaughter Li Jingxun, which was very rare and extravagant at that time. Such a tomb would naturally attract the attention of tomb robbers. In order to protect the safety of her granddaughter Li Jingxun and not be disturbed even after death, Yang Lihua ordered the curse of "death when the coffin is opened" engraved on the lid of the coffin. This practice was done out of reverence for supernatural powers, and it was widely believed that the curse had some effect, so that tomb robbers might be deterred by it.
The excavation of Li Jingxun's tomb is of great value for the study of the history and culture of the Sui Dynasty. The burial objects in the tomb not only show the level of craftsmanship and material culture of the time, but also through the study of the epitaphs, we can learn about the social structure, religious beliefs and family relations of the time. This physical evidence provides scholars with direct research material and helps to understand the historical background and development of the Sui Dynasty in a deeper way.
This story also explains why some elderly people say "there is no medicine for children". This is actually a superstitious belief that children are considered a symbol of bad luck in some cultures because they are young and have an incomplete life. This belief still exists in some traditional societies, although modern science and rational thinking have gradually weakened the influence of these superstitions.
