Hunan's 'Ghost Mountain', the heavy rain rushed out of the Yin Soldiers and Stone Figures, the scale exceeds that of the Terracotta Warriors, and its purpose is still a mystery

From primitive society to feudal society, and then to the modern society we live in today, it has gone through a long history. During these thousands of years, the social system has also undergone great changes. From primitive society to feudal society Before the society, the society has always practiced public ownership.

People living under the public ownership system produce and work together, live together, eat and live together. At this historical stage, most people lived in tribes, the leader of each tribe was the main leading figure, and people obeyed the leader's arrangement.

After a long period of development, human civilization has progressed, public ownership has withdrawn from the stage of history, and slavery has been established. Under this system, a large number of people became slaves and began to obey the slave owner's instructions, losing their independence as human beings, and even losing their dignity as human beings.

In the social environment of slavery, a special funeral method appeared, and "human sacrifice" began to appear in history. As one of the four ancient civilizations in the world, China has a long history. These histories not only help us review past societies and study ancient cultures and customs, but also help us absorb historical lessons from ancient times and provide information for the development of the new era. Valuable experience.

Therefore, archaeology has always been an important research task. In Anyang, an ancient capital with rich history and culture, through the investigation and research by experts in ancient tombs, it was found that the system of sacrificial burial already existed at this time. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, this system changed, and most of the terracotta and wooden figurines were used to replace the inhuman sacrifices of human beings.

But a place called "Guizai Mountain" in Hunan has changed the opinion of experts. There is a kind of stone man named "Ghost Cub". There is a village near Guizai Mountain, which also has a very long history and regional culture. The location of the village is very close to the Shundi Temple, and the village has a history of more than 500 years.

In this small village, there is a legend that when Emperor Shun died, all the guards were buried together, so crying could be heard every night. This strange sound made the villagers feel very scared. Due to its unique geographical location, the mountain where this mountain village is located has many tall trees, which block the sunlight and make people feel even more strange.

Later, after a heavy rain, many stone figures similar to Yin soldiers appeared on the mountains. Due to the low education level of the villagers and the influence of legends, people thought that these were the subordinates of Emperor Shun who wanted to protect the people in place of Emperor Shun.

Therefore, when a major disaster or life is difficult in the village, the people will take offerings to worship these stone figures, hoping to get the blessing of Emperor Shun. Over time, this legend has been handed down.

With the development of society and the continuous improvement of people's cultural level, this small village has attracted the attention of archaeologists. After a long period of investigation by the experts, it was found that these stone figures were not the so-called human sacrifices in ancient times, but were actually buried in the mountains. stone carving. Due to the frequent rain and humid climate, the soil buried on the stone man was washed away by the rain, and the stone man was exposed.

These stone figures have different shapes, different heights and sizes, and they are not from the same period. They all belonged to the pre-Qin, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. In addition, the stone people in Guizai Mountain are widely distributed, and their scale even exceeds that of the Qin Terracotta Warriors. The discovery of this site surprised experts. However, due to the lack of written records, its purpose is still unsolved.

There is a saying that these stone figures were used for sacrifices by the local ancients, but archaeologists did not see any traces of sacrifices at the site. I believe that in the near future, the use of these stone soldiers will eventually be revealed to the world.
