History of Huajia Tomb
Sixty flower jiazi is a combination of heavenly stems and earthy branches, commonly known as "sixty flower jiazi". Flower armor: refers to 60 years old. Named after heavenly stems and earthly branches's intricate name. Ji Chenggong's Chronicle of Tang Poetry (Volume 66): "(Zhao Mu) Li Changji, a middle school student in Xian Tong, wrote a short song and said to the wine,' Manually spend sixty flowers, and the cycle is like a pearl'."

He is not the way to rob a tomb, but the perfect combination of the minimum multiples of ten branches. You said something like this:

On Xiliang Road in the west of the village, there is a big round pit about three meters in diameter and four or five meters deep. Below is made of blue bricks, and four or five small caves have been dug around. Father said, this is sixty armour. There used to be a saying that villagers were not allowed to live in the village once they reached the age of 60. Someone asked, where are these old people going? Was sent to the "sixty flowers" outside the village. Food and shelter are all in it, only the descendants of the elderly. When it's time to eat, give them something to eat and don't let them eat enough. When delivering food, drop it with a rope. If someone in the small kiln comes out to get food, it means that the old man is still alive. If no one comes out to get the food, it means that the old man is dead. Then go back to the village and ask people to go down and block the small cave. The villagers also told such a story. A foreigner came to the imperial court. The foreigner gave an animal to the emperor, and asked him to guess what animal it was. If you guessed correctly, the emperor wouldn't have to present gold and silver treasures to foreign countries. If you can't guess, the emperor will give foreign countries 102 thousand gold every year. Neither the emperor nor the ministers around him knew what animal it was. Like cats don't like cats, like dogs don't like dogs, like cows don't like cows, like tigers don't like tigers, like mice don't like mice. Seeing that the deadline was approaching, the emperor hurriedly issued a notice to collect talents from all over the country to solve this mystery. One day, the emperor's notice was just posted in the village, and a son of "sixty flowers" was delivering food to his father. The father asked his son what had happened in the village recently, and the son told his father the emperor's notice. Then, the son asked the old father, what is that? The old father thought for a moment, and then his old man said, from what you said, this animal seems to be a mouse, but I'm not sure.

The son said, then how can we prove it?

The old father said, but you can try this method and see if it works.

The son asked his father, What can I do?

Father said: tomorrow you take a cat and hide it in your sleeve. When you get to the emperor, let the cat out and see how the animals will react. If it backs off, it means it is a mouse; If it doesn't respond, it's not a mouse. What is this? I don't know. The next day, the young man came to the emperor. When he saw the animal, he felt a thrill of fear. In desperation, he let the cat out of his sleeve, only to see that the cat saw the animal and rushed straight forward, scaring the animal back ... It turned out to be a big mouse. The emperor was overjoyed and rewarded the young people with fifty taels of silver and three taels of gold. Then the emperor asked him how he came up with the idea. The young man told the truth and the emperor heard it. It turns out that this old man is still useful after he is 60 years old. Then the whole country was ordered to cancel "60 years old" and 60 years old became history. Of course, this is just a legend. But the legend can spread to Xiliang Road in our village, which shows that such a thing did happen in history. I saw this 60-year-old pit when I was a child, but the impression left by history is not so "profound". While writing this book, I came across the fourth issue of Shanxi Folk Literature in 199 1, which contained an article written by Professor Wu Xiaoling from the Institute of Literature of China Academy of Social Sciences, telling a story of 60 years old. The protagonists in the story are Bao Qingtian, a famous minister in the Song Dynasty, and his father. Professor Wu also gave the story a name: Give it or not, old bastard. The story is that there was an emperor in the Song Dynasty. I don't know what happened. He especially hates older people, so he made an imperial edict: people who live to 60 years old will not die, but will be buried alive! Master Bao is doing the main hall of Kaifeng House at this time. His father is over sixty years old, but he is still strong. Master Bao is a dutiful son and doesn't want to bury his father alive. However, after letting the emperor know, it is a small crime to cheat you. Not only can't save dad, but it will also bring trouble to nine families. What are we doing? Master Bao's brain is spinning. He dug a deep underground kiln in the back garden of Kaifengfu and hid his father in the underground kiln. He personally delivered food and vegetables to his father, but he couldn't go out for a walk. In this way, after several years, I didn't expect five rat spirits more fierce than elephants to come in the world. First, destroy crops and houses outside Kaifeng, then eat mules, horses, cattle and sheep, and sometimes even bite children, which makes everyone closed and uneasy. Having had enough trouble in the countryside, these five rat spirits fled to Kaifeng House in Beijing, where they tossed about in six streets and three cities. Finally, he unexpectedly broke into the Golden Palace, making the emperor afraid to sit in the court and the officials of the civil and military forces afraid to go to the main hall. The emperor is in a hurry! Posting yellow lists everywhere to recruit talents: who can surrender the rat essence, the official promotion, ranking third. Those who married their daughters-in-law all won the first place in the shrine, and no wife acted as a husband. With such a high reward, no one has come to reveal the list yet. Master Bao is also worried about this matter and has no idea at all. That night, I went home to the underground kiln to deliver meals to my father. Old Bowman saw his son's sad face and asked him what had happened. Master Bao didn't dare to hide it from his father and told the truth. Old Bowman laughed: What's so difficult! The Jade Emperor keeps a royal cat in Lingxiao Palace, which is the bane of those rat spirits. You go to Lingxiao Guild Hall for a hard trip, borrow the royal cat from the Jade Emperor, surrender the rat poison and send it back, so that you can borrow it and return it, and it's over. Master Bao kowtowed to his father and thought, Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy. It seems that the imperial edict of burying the old man alive is really wrong! It is said that Mr. Bao is a "broken night", not a mortal. He strung from the back garden to the sky overnight and went straight to the hall of the soul. He knelt before the jade emperor for nine times, then confessed the human disaster and asked the jade emperor to lend the royal cat to the lower world to hand over the rat essence for the benefit of the people. The Jade Emperor was merciful and gave the Royal Cat to Master Bao at that time. Master Bao showed his magical powers again, walking in clouds and returning to the world. Early the next morning, Mr. Bao took the royal cat in his robe sleeve and went straight to the golden palace. Five rat spirits are jumping around in the golden palace. Just at that moment, I saw the royal cat "whoosh" out of the sleeve of Master Bao's robe, meowing, grabbing a mouse with its front legs, two mice with its paws, and one with its right leg behind it. Although we escaped one rat poison, it is still worth celebrating to catch four. All the officials in the Qing Dynasty bowed down to the emperor, whose face was full of smiles. When the emperor rewarded Bao Zhu, he naturally asked why. Master Bao dare not conceal the fact that his father is still alive. At the same time, he also taught him how to borrow the royal cat from the Jade Emperor, how to defeat the mousetrap with the royal cat, and reported it to the Emperor truthfully. The emperor listened: Oh, it turns out that old people are not annoying, but they are still useful! So the ban on burying the old man alive was issued. The whole country is full of joy. However, Master Bao is full of worries. He thought that the escaped mouse would not let it go. One is to avenge the four rat spirits, and the other is to reproduce. After all, it is a disaster for the country and the people. He thought about it and thought that the best way was to let the royal cat stay on earth, let it have children and be enemies with mice for generations. The Jade Emperor blames it, but he can still shirk it on the grounds of "making profits for the people". In this way, there are cats in the world, and cats eat mice, which has become a matter of course. It's just that the royal cat thinks there is no heaven in the world, so he takes it out on Master Bao. Even when sleeping and snoring, the cat cursed Mr. Bao: Do you send it or not, old bastard? Of course, this is just a legend.
