In 6 years, more than 40 tombs were not caught, but he suffered because of trying on the dragon robe.A large tomb robbery syndicate was uncovered in Guangxi, mainland China, 42 suspects were arrested and 165 cultural relics were seized. However, the key to the arrest of these tomb robbers rampant in Guangxi, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Anhui, Gansu and Guizhou was one of the main suspectsTrying on the Qing Dynasty Dragon Robe Po Wang Wants to Attract Buyers。
According to the “Guangming Net” report, this group of tomb robbers, from the five-clawed dragon robes in the late Qing Dynasty to the pottery gui in the Han Dynasty, had almost no tombs that they did not steal and sold. In May 2005, it took only 3 hours in the middle of the night to successfully rob the tomb of Liu Shude, the mother of Li Yangsheng, the admiral of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty.
However, whether it is on the table or on the black market, as long as the sale of cultural relics continues, there will be a day when it will be leaked. In October 2020, the Guilin police received a tip-off and arrested a suspect surnamed Tang who “claimed to have bought it at a street stall” in a local hotel. With the assistance of experts, it was found that these more than ten pieces of street stalls were the phoenix crowns of the second-rank imperial wife of the Qing Dynasty, Qingyu belts and other cultural relics. After expanding the search, members of the tomb robbers were arrested every year.
However, to the police’s surprise and speechlessness, although the tomb robbery group, which committed 53 crimes, created a piracy chain through the Internet and ordering, the 3 second-level cultural relics and 15 third-level cultural relics unearthed were as ordinary as 147. Cultural relics are sold at cheap prices. The blue-and-white general jar with dragon pattern, a second-class cultural relic, only sold for more than 20,000 yuan (about NT$87,000), and the third-level epitaph of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty even sold for only 300 yuan (about NT$1,292). If it weren’t for the surname Zhang who is suspected of wearing dragon robes for sale, it may take more time to uproot the tomb robbers. However, the real identity of the owner of the dragon robe is still a mystery because the tomb has been filled and the local government has not excavated it.
