This piece of Bagua jade is dull, sloppily carved, and rough in appearance. I believe this is not a jade pendant, but a modern imitation. It looks like a Bagua picture but it’s not Bagua!

Bagua; a set of symbolic symbols in ancient my country. Use "one" to represent Yang, use "?" to represent Yin, and use three such symbols to form eight forms, called Bagua. Each hexagram represents a certain thing. Qian represents heaven, Kun represents earth, Kan represents water, Li represents fire, Zhen represents thunder, Gen (gèn) represents mountain, Xun (xùn) represents wind, and Dui represents Ze. The eight trigrams are combined with each other to obtain sixty-four hexagrams, which are used to symbolize various natural and human phenomena. According to historical records, this imitation is the key to King Chuang's treasure!

Li Zicheng (1606-1645), the leader of the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty and an outstanding military strategist in ancient times, was originally named Hongji. When he became emperor, Li Jiqian was regarded as Taizu, and he lived in Li Jiqian's village in Mizhi, Shaanxi. When he was a child, he worked as a sheep herder for the landlord (some say his family was very wealthy), and he once worked as a postman in Yinchuan. There was an uprising in 1629 (the second year of Chongzhen), and he later became a brave and knowledgeable general under Gao Yingxiang, the king of Chuang. At the Xingyang Conference in the eighth year, he proposed a plan to divide the troops and attack in four directions. This plan was approved by the leaders of various ministries, and his reputation was growing day by day. After Gao Yingxiang died the next year, he succeeded to the title of King Chuang. In the eleventh year, he was defeated in Tongguan, and he only led Liu Zongmin and more than ten people to hide in Shangluocong Mountain (in the Henan-Shaanxi border area). He made a comeback the following year. In the 13th year, he was trapped in Yufu Mountain in Brazil (Fuyizuofu). He broke through with fifty cavalry and entered Henan. At that time, there was a severe famine in the Central Plains and class conflicts were extremely acute. Li Yan put forward slogans such as "equalize land and avoid taxes", which was welcomed by the majority of the people, and spread the song "Welcome King Chuang, but do not accept food". The army grew to millions and became the main force in the peasant war. In 1643 (the 16th year of Chongzhen), he was proclaimed King Xinshun in Xiangyang. In the same year, he annihilated the main force of Sun Chuanting, the governor of Shaanxi in the Ming Dynasty, in Ruzhou, Henan (now Linru), and took advantage of the victory to occupy Xi'an. In the first month of the following year, the Dashun regime was established, with the reign name Yongchang. Soon he captured Beijing and overthrew the Ming Dynasty. Because the leader of the rebel army made the mistake of being proud of victory, he persecuted Wu Sangui's family members. To force Wu Sangui to rebel, the Manchu nobles entered the pass and jointly attacked the peasant army. He failed in the battle, withdrew from Beijing and led his troops to fight in Henan and Shaanxi. In 1645 (the second year of Yongchang), while inspecting the terrain in Jiugong Mountain, Tongshan, Hubei, Li Zicheng disappeared mysteriously. After the remaining tribes of Li Zicheng surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, they rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and continued to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Li Ji, who was born 200 miles west of the Mizhi River, moved to the village, more than 60 miles away from his hometown of Maoyan (both places are now Hengshan). Li Zicheng's ancestral home is Lijiazhan, Mizhi County. There is a village in Dianshi Town, Mizhi County, called Li Jiqian Village. The locals also call it Lijiazhan. People in the village pass it down orally from generation to generation that they are descendants of Li Jiqian.

Li Zicheng’s ancestors moved from Tai’an, Gansu Province to live in Lijia Station (Li Jiqian Military Station in the Western Xia Dynasty) in Mizhi County, Shaanxi Province. His grandfather Li Hai was forced by life to move to Changmao Village (now Changmao Village) in Mizhi County. Belongs to Hengshan County). People say that Li Zicheng was "born in Li Jiqian Village and grew up in Changmao Village", which refers to this incident. "Mizhi County·Li Zicheng Ethnic Research" records: "Zi Cheng's native place is Erjia, Tai'anli, this county. He has lived in Beixiang for a long time, seventy miles away from the city at Lijiazhan in Haihuisigou."

"Mizhi County Chronicle" records: "The surname of Mizhi Li is divided into the Erjia Li family in Tai'anli and the Li family in Yonghe Shilou. One branch is Erjia in Tai'anli. Li Zicheng's family belongs to Erjia in Tai'anli. Before the Ming Dynasty, it was led by Tai'an Li family in Gansu Province. The other Li family migrated to Mizhi from Yonghe Shilou County, Shanxi. The Li family of Erjia in Tai'anli did not belong to the same clan. . ”

Li Zicheng’s family belongs to Erjia in Taianli, and migrated from Taianli in Gansu to Lijiazhan before the Ming Dynasty. And this Lijia Station was exactly where the party leader Tuoba Pingxia lived after he moved east from Gansu. In 1639, Zhang Xianzhong revolted in Gucheng (located in Xiangfan, Hubei), and Li Zicheng led thousands of troops to fight out from Shangluo Mountain. In 1640, when the main force of the Ming army was chasing Zhang Xianzhong in Sichuan, Li Zicheng entered Henan and took in the hungry people. Zheng Lian recorded in "The Chronicle of the Yu Revolution" that Li Zicheng rescued the hungry people: "The red millet was cut through the red millet, and the thieves borrowed it. , to provide relief to the hungry people by opening warehouses.

Hungry people from far and near came with their hoes, and those who responded were like running water, day and night, endlessly, calling millions at a time, but their momentum was like a prairie fire that could not be defeated." From then on, Li Zicheng's army grew to tens of thousands, and he put forward the slogan "equalize land and avoid tax", which is a folk song "Welcome King Chuang, but don't accept food. "In January 1641 (the twentieth day of the first month of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen), they attacked Luoyang and killed Prince Fu Zhu Changxun, the son of Emperor Wanli. They took several deer from the back garden and cooked them with Prince Fu's meat, which was called "Fu Lu". Banquet" and enjoyed it with the soldiers. He was called "The Civil and Military Marshal of Fengtian Advocating Righteousness". After that, he besieged the provincial capital Kaifeng three times within a year and a half without success. The last time in 1642, the Yellow River burst its banks and destroyed Kaifeng. He successively killed the governor of Shaanxi. Fu Zonglong and Wang Qiaonian defeated Ming Shaanxi governor Sun Chuanting in Jiaxian, Henan. At the same time, the Ming Dynasty was unfavorable to the Qing Dynasty. In March, Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty for the fifth time, penetrating into Shandong and plundering 36 soldiers. Thousands of people.

In January 1643, Li Zicheng was declared the "King of Xinshun" in Xiangyang. In March, he killed the peasant leader Luo Rucai who joined forces with him. In April, he killed the rebel general Zhang Xianzhong and defeated Wuchang. The "Daxi" regime was established. In October, Li Zicheng broke through Tongguan, killed the governor Sun Chuanting, and occupied the entire province of Shaanxi. In January 1644, Li Zicheng proclaimed himself emperor in Xi'an, and the founding name was "Dashun" in northern Shaanxi. It is very possible to bury treasures

Li Zicheng was born in Li Jiqian Village, Hengshan County in September 1606. Four months later, his nephew Li Guo was also born in this family. They belonged to the Dangxiang clan of Li Jiqian, the founder of the Xixia Kingdom. Descendants. The Dangxiang tribe is a minority that has disappeared in northern Shaanxi for more than 700 years. Their surname Li was given by Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Zicheng and his uncle and nephew Li Guo went to private school together. The family also hired a retired military officer from Yan'an Prefecture to teach them horse riding and martial arts. When Li Zicheng was a boy, his family was relatively wealthy. However, due to successive years of drought in northern Shaanxi, Li Zicheng had to take on the responsibility of supporting the family prematurely. Heavy burden.

After Li Zicheng's defeat in the early spring of 1645, the Qing soldiers carried out a bloody massacre here. The families of the rebels fled everywhere, and the current residents have nothing to do with the Li Zicheng family.

There is a palace of Li Zicheng preserved in Mizhi County, which was a resting place for Li Zicheng every time he came back to worship his ancestors after he became emperor. Experts speculate that it is unlikely that Emperor Li Zicheng of Dashun, who has made his capital in Xi'an, is. Bury the treasure in his hometown in northern Shaanxi, which is far away.

Historical records indicate that the old battalion of the Dashun Army was mainly responsible for escorting the treasures. The old battalion was composed of Li Zicheng's family members and fellow villagers in northern Shaanxi. Perhaps their descendants know. The whereabouts of the treasures. No direct descendants of Li Zicheng can be found in the Mizhi area. Where will they live?

Li Zicheng’s descendants are in Taiping Village, Shaanxi. Fuxian County, with its criss-crossing ravines and continuous forests, has always been a place where military hermits often stayed. It has left many unsolved mysteries for thousands of years. Especially in the southwest hilly area, there is a mysterious village called Taiping Village. It is located on a hill surrounded by cliffs. Seven years ago, Taiping Village was connected to the mystery of Li Zicheng's treasure that had disappeared for more than 360 years due to a mysterious family tree.

The appearance of the villagers in Taiping Village has some characteristics of the northwest ethnic minorities. A few years ago, some experts came to investigate and said that they were descendants of Xixia Dangxiang people who had disappeared for more than 700 years.

The customs in Taiping Village are also very different from those in surrounding villages. During the New Year and festivals, the villagers do not worship Buddha or gods. They worship Xianshenye, but who he is is unknown. Another thing the villagers worship is a bronze statue of the empress. It is said that the empress's surname is Gao, Mrs. Gao, and she is the aunt of Xian Shen Ye.

In October 2004, Li Zhiqiang, whose ancestral home was in Taiping Village, returned to his hometown from Shenzhen and worked with several tribesmen to prepare for the renewal of the family tree. Unfortunately, the original family tree was destroyed forty years ago, and no one remembers its contents. Later, Li Zhiqiang learned that the Fuxian Archives kept a genealogy of the surname Li in Taiping Village from the Qing Dynasty. He was ecstatic and immediately rushed to Fuxian County, dozens of kilometers away. From the family tree preserved in the archives, Li Zhiqiang accidentally discovered a major secret, which broke the original tranquility of this ancient village.

This family tree is only the third volume of the family tree of the Li surname in Taiping Village, called "Li Jin Family Tree". Li Jin, also called Li Guo, participated in the peasant movement in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties and was a direct relative of Li Zicheng. According to the custom in northern Shaanxi, since Li Zicheng had no heirs, the descendants of his nephew Li Guo became the direct descendants of Li Zicheng.

In 1645 AD, Wu Sangui, the commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty, joined forces with the Qing Dynasty troops to encircle and suppress the Shaanxi peasant uprising army. Li Zicheng fled to Jiugong Mountain in Hubei Province and his whereabouts are unknown. Whether he was killed or lived in seclusion, there are still some reports. Different sayings.

After Li Zicheng disappeared, Li Guo led the rebel army and united with the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Qing Dynasty. The Nanming government gave him the name Chixin. He changed his name to Li Jin from then on and led his troops to fight in Lianghu, Guangxi and other places. According to historical records of the Nanming period, after the Nanming regime was annihilated by Wu Sangui, Li Guo lived in Guangdong or Yunnan for a generation and was never heard from again.

The fifteenth generation grandson of Li Zicheng, director of the Chinese Ming History Society - Li Zhiqiang. When Li Guo and Nan Ming joined forces with the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Qing Dynasty, he lived with Emperor Yongli of the Nan Ming Dynasty as a hostage for more than ten years. , from Guangxi, Guizhou, Yunnan and Myanmar, and finally returned to Taiping Village.

Li Zhiqiang had read many books, which convinced him that he was a descendant of Li Zicheng, and that the master they had worshiped for a long time was most likely Li Zicheng.

Later King Chuang defeated Jiugong Mountain and died in Jiugong Mountain! According to historical records, he died in Jiugong Mountain. The current Mausoleum of King Chuang is in Jiugong Mountain! But according to local legend, the person who died in Jiugong Mountain was King Chuang's stand-in, King Chuang, who turned into a monk and escaped! His nephew Li Guo took the treasure and disappeared without a trace! When Li Zicheng faked his death in Jiugong Mountain, the political power no longer existed, so he (Li Zicheng) came to Mang Mountain in the name of Cao Guogong and Cao Zijian.

Local expert: There is no obvious record in the county annals about whether Li Zicheng himself had been to Mangshan, but Li Zicheng's troops must have come, and there are relevant records in several county annals.

After careful investigation, Tan Xiangji drew a route map for Li Zicheng's entry into Mangshan. So, since Li Zicheng's troops did go to Mangshan, is the legend about Li Zicheng's treasure collection true? If this is true, where are those legendary huge treasures buried? As Li Zicheng's route to Mangshan became clear, Tan Xiangji made an even more surprising discovery. In the Mangshan forest area, he found a cave called "Huangzang Rock". Tan Xiangji believed that he had basically grasped the key to cracking Li Zicheng's code. Opportunity for treasure.

Tan Xiangji: (Li Zicheng) When he used Fernziping as his base camp, there was a fake tomb 4043 buried in Fernziping. There is also an Imperial Cang Rock in Fernziping, which further proves that Li Zicheng (lived there) because he was Emperor Dashun.

The entrance of the cave discovered by Tan Xiangji is very hidden. The cave is filled with jagged rocks, green smoke is lingering, and the air is freezing. There is a layer of moisture-proof Sanhe soil and sand on a platform at the entrance of the cave. Obviously, someone should have been active here. Based on the royal-style cave name, Tan Xiangji believed that the legendary treasure brought by Li Zicheng should be hidden in this cave. However, after careful excavation, the results were completely beyond them. unexpected.

Local villager, Xie Tianfa: Legend has it that Li Zicheng came here and lived in Huangcheng Rock. This is what the older generation said. 3337 Some copper city was dug out there, 3513, but no other treasures were found.

Could it be that the legend about the "nine donkeys and eighteen loads" of gold and silver jewelry carried by Li Zicheng is just the result of rumors? Or is it that this huge batch of treasures is still hidden in a little-known place? In the trapped place, just when Tan Xiangji's treasure hunt was in dire straits, his companion Xie Tianfa suddenly made a new discovery. In Baishawei Township, nearly 80 miles away from Mangshan Mountain, they found a piece of stone inscribed with Li Chuang The stone tablet of the king's tomb. The stele is about 2·5 feet high, one foot wide, and about 0·5 feet thick. The inscription is inscribed.

Tan Xiangji: Because there is the tombstone of King Li Chuang, this further proves that Li Zicheng (destination) is in our Mangshan Mountain.

Local villager, Xie Tianfa: I went up the mountain to dig medicine and found a tombstone facing down. I suspected it was his (Li Zicheng) tomb. When I dug, I only found a lot of bones and no jewelry.

Although the discovery of King Li Chuang’s tombstone did not directly help the excavation of treasures, Tan Xiangji believed that it might point out a new direction for him to search for those legendary treasures. The location of the treasure was not in the core area of ??Mangshan where Li Zicheng's army once operated, but in the opposite direction.

Tan Xiangji searched in the opposite direction and finally made another surprising discovery. On the edge of the hillside by the roadside, there was a man-made stone wall. Careful observation revealed that this was not a simple project. Could it be that the legendary treasure is buried inside this stone wall? If it is not the burial place of the treasure, then why is such a huge project built in this remote mountain and forest, in an inaccessible place?

Tan Xiangji: Ordinary people would not engage in this project. It is more than 100 meters long, more than 10 meters wide, and has three floors. According to common people's legends, this is the station of Li Zicheng's Dashun Peasant Army. This project It's an ancient road that leads to Ferniaoping.

Through visits, Tan Xiangji learned that at the end of this trail, less than one kilometer away from the stone wall, it is said that there is a huge cave named Rongjia Cave is located just on the back of Mangshan Mountain. Legend has it that Li Zicheng, who was continuously chased by the Qing army and had no way out, traveled to many places in the primitive jungle before arriving at Rongjia Cave. Later, the entrance to the cave was annihilated due to a lightning strike on the mountain. Based on legends and historical relics, Tan Xiangji boldly put forward his own ideas.

Tan Xiangji: Because the Rongjiadong cave is very large. There is a water cave and a dry cave. It is said that more than 10,000 people can be hidden. All the national treasures were brought inside, and they were struck down by lightning and sealed. .

Regarding Tan Xiangji’s statement, relevant experts have put forward different views.

Local experts: Regarding Li Zicheng’s treasures, these are all folklore and there are no historical documents. Therefore, I think the credibility is not high.

In order to explore the fate of Li Zicheng and the legend about Li Zicheng’s treasure, Tan Xiangji spent nearly 20 years and invested more than 100,000 yuan. But now, due to the shortage of funds and the vastness of the project, His excavation work had to be interrupted.

Where does Li Zicheng, a hero of a generation, end up? Where is his legendary treasure hidden? Among the clues left over from history, people use their simplest imagination to outline a wonderful legend. Although moving, legends are still legends. Mangshan is also waiting quietly, waiting for historians to reveal the mystery of these moving legends. .

It is said that the place where Chuang Wang buried the treasure was laid out according to the Nine Palaces Flying Technique. It is necessary to find the Nine Palaces Bagua Diagram and decipher whether the acrostic poem of the treasure "Facing the water, backing the mountain, and the treasure in the middle" is true. It is a last resort. That’s it

All we have to do is wait for historians’ verification, and I hope my answer will be satisfactory
