Found this in Chinese online : "Cao Cao actually had a very liberated mind and was not willing to spend more money on his mausoleum. In 218 AD, Cao Cao personally issued a "Final Order", which was actually a will. He pointed out in the "Final Order": After his death, he should not be buried in a rich burial. He should be buried on barren land and do not occupy fertile land. There is no need to go to great lengths to customize shrouds and mourning clothes. Cao Cao emphasized that valuables such as gold, jade, jewelry, and bronzes should not be buried with him".
Thank You!!! Such a Fascinating and interesting story
How can some be so disrespectful and stealing from them to boot?
I think it is called evil for a reason.
A fascinating journey Dr Agnes Hsu. It may still be inconclusive but that isn't the point. Events that occurred so long ago are clouded somewhat by the passing of time. But this is a well presented and researched account of what might have been. A great video and thanks for sharing.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! The 3 kingdoms saga is one of my favorites. It's known that Tsao Tsao built numerous decoy tombs to deter robbers. I think it's improbable by possible that this could be one of the fakes... Never the less, bravo.
Do you have any book recommendations about the 3 Kingdoms?
@@Drakerson the San Guo aka Romance of the Three Kingdoms is epic but 'inflated' and some would say a tough read. There's a more accurate historical translation I think it's called The Three Kingdoms. There are also a collection of graphic novel-comic collection that Mao Zedong kept at his bedroom.
The desire to have a luxurious tomb full of precious objects is something present in all ancient cultures. Pharaoh Cheops ordered the construction of an immense pyramid. Cao-Cao did the same, but his pyramid was buried in the ground. This difference is significant, as in one case the tomb can become a public symbol of the cult of power (highlighting the prominence of the ruler's descendants); in the other, the tomb cannot fulfill this function. The pyramid can be associated with the phallus. Is the pyramid buried in the ground and hidden metaphorically a vagina? The pharaoh buried inside the immense pyramid says: I'm here and I'm not afraid of anyone. Cao-Cao inside his tomb in the ground seems to say: my enemies will not be able to rape my corpse.
But I'm confused. I thought "landed gentry" = nobility. Weren't they around for over 2000 years and certainly at least 500 years before the age of Cao Cao? (The age she's talking about.)
Way before the warring kingdoms or 7 states period as its also been called nobility was around before that.
So color me confused.
Ranking systems changed by most Emperor's especially after Chunqiu- Spring and Autumn Period. Titles were generated based off merit system during Late Han.
Impossible to read the subtitles as usual
It’s not Lü Bü, 😞.

Keep practicing English.
This comment has some awkward language. Eclipsing the truth isn’t something an English speaker would say
