Is there really a gold-looting officer?
According to historical records, the gold-looting lieutenant really existed. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, during the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao set up military ranks such as General of the Hill and Lieutenant of the Gold Touching Army to make up for the lack of military pay. They specialized in robbing tombs to supplement the military pay. In modern times, some grave robbers were also considered to be descendants of the gold-looting officers. For example, the grave robbers who robbed the tomb of Marquis Haiying from 2011 to 2015 used tools such as Luoyang shovels to rob the tomb. Luoyang shovels were commonly used by the gold-looting lieutenant. From the seized tools and their tomb robbing behavior, it was speculated that they might be descendants of the gold-looting lieutenant. In addition, on January 23,2024, Xiangyang, Hubei Province, cracked a case of large-scale theft and reselling of cultural relics. The suspects could also be regarded as modern so-called "gold looting officers", but their actions were illegal. Although there were these related incidents, the modern term " gold looting captain " was a grave robber who violated the law and ethics. This was essentially the same as the ancient Cao Cao who set up the gold looting captain. The novel "Taoist Qianshan" is equally wonderful. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
Did the gold-looting officer in Ghost Blows Out the Light really exist in reality?
Ghost Blows Out the Light was a Chinese web novel about exploration and tomb raiding. Among them, the Gold Robbing Commandant was a tomb raiding organization that was considered the most mysterious team in the novel. However, there was no concrete evidence as to whether the gold-looting lieutenant really existed in reality. Although there were many stories and legends about tomb raiding and exploration in China, a fictional tomb raiding organization like the Gold-looting Colonel had never existed in the real world. Some archaeologists and explorers had tried to find the historical organization of the gold-looting officers, but so far, they had not found any reliable evidence. Therefore, although the made-up tomb raiding organization was very popular in Chinese online novels, it did not exist in reality.
Was there really a gold-looting lieutenant in history?
Gold Hunting Lieutenant was a military tactic in ancient China. It referred to the act of secretly sneaking into the territory of an enemy country with a large amount of gold, silver, and jewelry in an expedition team to steal and plunder. Because the actions of the gold-looting officers were very secretive, there was no conclusive evidence in history that they really existed. However, as a military tactic in ancient China, the gold-looting lieutenant had once appeared in some wars in history. For example, during the Tang Dynasty, the border troops used the strategy of the gold-hunting lieutenant to lure the enemy troops out of the city to fight by carrying a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, thus weakening the enemy's combat effectiveness. Although there was no conclusive evidence in history to prove the existence of the gold-looting lieutenant, this did not deny the importance and value of this tactic in Chinese history.
Does the gold-looting sect really exist?
In history, the gold-looting sect had a certain prototype. The Gold-looting Sect originated from the Gold-looting Lieutenant set up by Cao Cao. Cao Cao dug graves and collected wealth for the expansion of the military organization. This was the initial source of the Gold-looting Sect. However, as time went by, grave robbing became illegal and immoral in reality, and there were no longer any gold-looting sects with the purpose of grave robbing. However, in literary works such as Ghost Blows Out the Light, the gold-looting sect was treated as a fictional sect. In these works, the gold-looting sect was based on imagination to construct a unique sect culture, sect rules, and various tomb robbing skills. In the gaming world, there was also a game element called the gold-looting faction, but it was fundamentally different from the historical archetype concept of tomb raiding. It was just a borrowed name. The novel "Taoist Qianshan" is equally wonderful. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

Were there really gold-looting officers during the Three Kingdoms period?
During the Three Kingdoms period, there was indeed an official position called Gold Robbing Lieutenant, but it did not refer to the clothes worn by grave robbers. It referred to a special force in the army. According to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Gold Hunting Commandant was a special force formed by Cao Cao to be responsible for tomb raiding and treasure hunting. They wore special clothes and carried shovels and hammers. They used these weapons to protect the relics and treasures. However, there was no conclusive evidence in history to prove the existence of the gold-looting lieutenant because the Three Kingdoms period had passed for a long time. There were relatively few records and documents related to it. Therefore, we are unable to determine the specific work content and historical background of these officials.
Gold-looting Colonel Faction
Gold-looting Commandant was a sect of grave robbers in ancient China. According to historical records, the Gold Touching Lieutenant originated from the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In order to make up for the lack of military pay, Cao Cao set up military ranks such as the General of the Hill and the Gold Touching Lieutenant. They specialized in robbing tombs to supplement the military pay. The Gold-Touching Lieutenant had his own incantations, such as " Hair the mound seal, touch the golden talisman, move the mountains to find the dragon formula; people light candles, ghosts blow the lights, search for the stars in the stars; mercury spots, raise the funerary objects, go to the dragon tower and the palace countless times; cellar sinking coffin, bronze coffin, the eight characters are not hard to approach." There is a vertical burial pit, a small box grave, moving mountains and ridges around the road; A man dressed in red is fierce, smiling at a corpse. It is better to listen to a ghost's cry than to laugh at a ghost. Looking for the dragon to divide the gold to see the winding mountain, a layer of entanglement is a layer of pass. If there is an 80% risk of closing the door, there will be no Yin-Yang Eight Trigrams. There were some rules for the gold-looting officers. For example, they could only enter each tomb once and could only rob at night. There was a saying that one would not touch gold when the rooster crowed. Moreover, each person would bring a 'gold-looting talisman' made from the sharpest claws of a pangolin and specially crafted. The novel "Taoist Qianshan" is equally exciting.

What was the work of the Gold-looting Commandant?
There were many works about the gold-looting captain robbing tombs and treasure hunts, including "The King of Grave Robbers,""Ghost Blows Out the Light (The Experience of a Grave Robber),""The Gold-looting Ancestor,""My Years as a Gold-looting Captain," and "Anti-Grave Robbing: Scaring off the Gold-looting Captain at the Beginning."
Does the gold-looting captain exist or not?
Gold-looting Commanders existed in history. According to the historical records, Chen Lin's "Yuzhou Wen for Yuan Shao" mentioned that Cao Cao had set up two official positions, namely, the general of the hill and the lieutenant of the gold. However, this denunciation might have slandered the political service, because there was no record of Cao Cao robbing tombs in exchange for food and pay in other documents and history books at that time. Moreover, Cao Cao had always taken the image of helping the Han Dynasty. Tomb robbing, which violated the tradition of the dead, would be despised by people. Cao Cao was unlikely to do it openly. However, Liu Ziye, the deposed emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, had set up the official position of Mojin Lieutenant, which was clearly recorded in the official history of the Southern History Volume Two Song Benji, and bluntly stated that Liu Ziye was imitating Cao Cao. However, it should be noted that in later legends, novels, and other works, the gold-looting lieutenant was given more mysterious colors and became the head of the tomb raiding sect. These legends may have some differences with historical facts. The novel "Taoist Qianshan" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
Is the gold-looting captain still here?
In a narrow sense, the military position of a gold-looting lieutenant set up by Cao Cao during the Eastern Han Dynasty, which specialized in robbing tombs and obtaining wealth, had long since ceased to exist. However, in a broad sense, the official (or warlord) tomb raiding groups, as well as people like Wen Tao in the Five Dynasties and Sun Dianying in the Republic of China, who did not have a tomb raiding official position but had tomb raiding behavior, could be regarded as "Gold Robbing Commandant". In this broad sense, there were illegal and criminal acts of tomb raiding in modern society. Tomb raiders like "Gold Robbing Commandant" might still exist, but this was a violation of law and ethics. In addition, there would be the role of a gold-looting captain in literary works and movies. The novel "Taoist Qianshan" is equally wonderful. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
