The Gaoling in Anyang is located in a village within Anyang County. After eight years of verification, it has been identified as the tomb of Cao Cao, and is listed as one of the top ten archaeological discoveries. The exact location of Cao Cao's mausoleum has been a mystery that persisted for a thousand years. The cunning and suspicious warlord set up seventy-two decoy tombs to ensure a peaceful eternal rest, making it a secret burial noted in historical records. The academic world has also debated over this for many years, but now the dust has settled. The Gaoling site museum, which was only opened last year, is vast in size. The dominant black and red color scheme of the Three Kingdoms era exudes a powerful and imposing atmosphere. The exhibition area simulates and restores the main body of the tomb, the spirit road, architectural foundations, encircling moats, and accompanying tombs, allowing visitors to walk inside. Looking at the burial objects excavated and displayed in the museum, compared to other emperors, Cao Cao's collection seems rather modest, almost embarrassingly so. This is partly because the tomb was heavily looted, and partly because Cao Cao was known to live a frugal life and advocated for simple burials, so there are no dazzling treasures to be found. Who would have thought that even after the death of such a formidable warlord, his legacy would still be outwitted by thieves.

The cultural relics unearthed from the tomb of Cao Cao are so austere that they are jaw-dropping
📝Henan part55📝 📷📷📷📷 The artifacts unearthed from the Gaoling tomb of Cao Cao are so simple that they make one's jaw drop; there's really not a single piece of gold, silver, or jewelry, only some pottery and weapons. The modest burial would probably only leave tomb robbers feeling frustrated enough to smash things around. This might also explain why most of the pottery here is also broken 😂. Of course, it's also possible that anything valuable was thoroughly looted, but to have looted to such an extent seems quite difficult.

Understand the real King Wei Wu in Gaoling
Highly recommended for Three Kingdoms and history scholars to visit. Here you can learn about Cao Cao's life, mainly to understand the opposite side of King Wei in the 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'. From changing taxes, to farming, to the nine-rank system, to employing people regardless of their character, to refusing rewards, to the final frugal burial, It all reflects that although he was a Han minister at the end of the Han Dynasty, he changed the fate of the country and the direction of history with his own power in the turbulent times. The architecture inherits the style of the Han Dynasty, and the tombs have been destroyed to the present and are well protected, and it is worth visiting. Finally, let's talk about the guide, my guide Xiao Cao (descendant?), is the only one I have seen all over the country, who explained every painting, every text, every cultural relic, and even every rivet to me, and is knowledgeable about the history at that time, about 40 minutes of exhibition content took me a full two hours, very impressive!
