The mystery of the Three Gorges hanging coffin, can you still see the Three Gorges hanging coffin?

Regarding the situation of the hanging coffin of the Three Gorges, I need to explain. At present, the Three Gorges hanging coffin has been relocated to a new location and is no longer on the original cliff. Due to the consideration of protecting cultural relics and landscapes, visitors cannot directly contact or hang the coffin in close proximity.

However, you still have the opportunity to learn about and feel the history and culture of the hanging coffin while visiting the Three Gorges. In the Three Gorges Tourist Area, there are some exhibitions and introductions, which show the history and legends of the hanging coffin to tourists through models, **, cultural relics and other forms. In addition, you can also choose to join a guided tour of the Three Gorges or hire a local guide who can explain the story behind the coffin and provide more detailed explanations and relevant information.

It should be noted that if you are interested in the archaeological research and historical culture of the hanging coffin, it is recommended that you understand the relevant background knowledge in advance before the tour in order to better understand and appreciate the historical value of the hanging coffin. To sum up, although you can't directly see the original Three Gorges hanging coffin, you can still understand and feel the history and culture of the hanging coffin through exhibitions, guided tours and the introduction of tour guides. Hope this information is helpful to you and have a great trip!

At present, the hanging coffin of the Three Gorges can still be visited. Tourists can go to the Three Gorges Family Tourist Area in the Three Gorges District of Yichang City, buy tickets and visit the hanging coffin. Due to the high height of the cliff where the coffin is located, it is necessary to take a ropeway to reach the viewing position.

Therefore, it takes a certain amount of physical strength and courage to visit the hanging coffin of the Three Gorges, and it is not recommended to visit if you have a phobia of old tease or are unwell. Due to the need to protect cultural relics, the viewing area of the hanging coffin of the Three Gorges is restricted, and tourists are not allowed to approach the hanging coffin or climb it. At the same time, it is also necessary to comply with the regulations of the tourist area and the guidelines of the management personnel when visiting the burial, and do not make loud noises or litter around the hanging coffin, so as not to cause damage to the hanging coffin.

Wushan County Chronicle records about the hanging coffin: "In the high mountain of Linjiang, the shrine was dug to bury it." From the suspension rope on the mountain, the high one thinks that it is the most filial piety. "In the past, there was such a saying among the people in Wushan that the deceased would choose a cave as a burial place by themselves, and ordered the descendants to build it, so that they could be buried in time after death.

The people who built the coffin burial ground used a method called "rainbow", in which ropes were hung down from the top of the mountain and entered the cave to make the foundation. Then the coffin village was broken into pieces, put down from the top of the mountain, and installed it again on the spot in the cave. After the person dies, the body and the burial goods are also put down in the coffin by the method of "releasing the rainbow".

Some places in Wushan still retain the custom of pre-camp cemeteries before death.

Already unraveled? Is the bonus gone?

One theory is that after death, a cave is reserved for oneself as a tomb for the future. So he ordered his descendants to build it, and he could be buried immediately after his death. The method of building a hanging coffin is called "putting a rainbow", to put it bluntly, people first climb to the top of the mountain, hang people with ropes and slowly put them in the middle of the cliff, and dig the cave where the coffin is buried in advance.

Then divide the coffin into several parts and put it down with a rope. Eventually, in the cave that was dug in advance, the transported timber was spliced together to form a coffin. And after the death of others, the body is transported down in the same way and let it rest here!

According to the documented method of "releasing rainbows", the longest can be about 500 meters. The Three Gorges Cliff is relatively small, and the 500 meters is enough to place a coffin on the edge of any cliff. The rope used in "Fanghong" is also very tough, because it is made of local kudzu vine and leather strips, and it can be used several times in a row.

Because it is medicated regularly, there are no insect bites at all.

There should be a god helping, and it is difficult for manpower to be suspended.

Until now, it is also a mystery that no scientific explanation can explain this phenomenon.

That's to avoid the coffin being destroyed, even if you risk your life and hang a sling.

This is still unsolved, some say that the coffin was placed from top to bottom with ropes, some say that the coffin was dismantled after setting up a shelf, and some say that it was done with a lifting device.

It was the method that people used to suspension, and secondly, it was amazing that the technology was not so advanced at that time, but they were able to do it.

I have to say that the wisdom of the ancients was very strong.

Probably the coffin was hung from the top of the cliff. There are many secrets in ancient times that we don't know and don't know.

This is still quite a spectacle, I don't know how to hang it, but I will be shocked when I see it.

The hanging coffin of the Three Gorges was a burial method in ancient times。It is called "releasing the rainbow", and the rope is suspended from the top of the peak and entered the cave to lay the foundation. Then the coffin is disassembled, suspended from the peak, and finally assembled into a finished coffin in a cave or coffin, and when the tomb owner dies, the body and the burial goods can be put down one by one using the method of "rainbow", and buried in the coffin to form a hanging coffin.

Hanging coffin burial has a long history in ChinaAs early as the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, there was already this burial method. For example, the ship coffin on Wuyi Mountain is the site of 3,800 years ago, which is believed to have been done by the ancestors of the Yue people in ancient times. The cliff coffin in Guixi City, Jiangxi Province, is also assessed as the remains of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period 2,000 years ago, and its ethnic group is called the Ganyue and Ouyue people.

It is said,In areas where this custom exists, after the death of a person, the family chooses the area along the riverThe half-waist part of the cliff, the person who built the hanging coffin is a kind of person who is 100 meters away from the road and the mountain, making full use of the pure natural cave on the cliff, or specially digging the Hongya Cave, placing the coffin in the hole, or placing it on the wooden pillar placed in the pipe hole. Those coffins were placed on the cliff because they were made into the shape of a ship, and they were also called hanging coffins, ship coffins, and rock coffins.

Hanging coffin burial is more than just a mystical funerary customIt is also an important folk culture in China. There are also several explanations for the mystery of why there is a custom of hanging coffins in the Three Gorges, one of which is that the pronunciation is "high coffin (official)" in order to make future generations noble. The second is that because there are many wild beasts in the land of Wuxia, in order to preserve the bones of the ancestors, the mysterious way of hanging coffin burial was invented.

First, the person himself went up and placed the support in the place where the coffin was placed, and then hung it with a rope.

They cut holes in the mountain, then inserted wooden stakes to use them as improvised stairs, and then dropped the material off the cliffs.

On the mountain, the coffin was hoisted up by the method of rocking the oars from the rural well, and the first two people in the cave used long hooks to hook the wooden official into it.

It must have been a rope and a large number of people to put the coffin in the designated position, such a huge project.

Basically, the coffin on the cliff is hung by a rope. At the same time, you can also dig holes in the cliffs and insert wooden stakes to fix them.

I think that the ancient people must have had their own methods, for example, using some kind of Hook Valley Theorem, or the Lever Principle.

I have the impression that after watching this documentary, it seems that a lot of wooden stakes were used on the cliff and then moved over it little by little.

I don't know, this matter is a very dangerous and difficult thing even now.

Located in Wushan County, Chongqing City, the gorge is the most beautiful section of the Daning River, a tributary of the Yangtze River. Recently, this reporter took a boat along the Daning River upstream, and when the cruise ship sailed into the second gorge, Bawu Gorge, he looked up and saw that it was about 200 meters away from the river.

In the cave on the high cliff, a pitch-black coffin rests. The tour guide told reporters that the coffins were more than a thousand years old. In the early eighties of the twentieth century, archaeologists took down a coffin in the upper reaches of the Ning River, and after research, these hanging coffins were the burial coffins of the ancient Pu people.

Hanging the coffin into a cave in the cliff with a rope was their funeral method. Archaeologists judge from the owner of the coffin and the funerary goods that the coffin is more than 1,800 years old. But how the ancients put a coffin weighing hundreds of pounds on the cliff is still a mystery to this day.

After the boat enters the Dicui Gorge, I see a small square hole on the cliff, which is the ancient plank road site located on the west bank of the Daning River. According to historical records, the Ninghe plank road extends from Wushan Longmen Bridge to Ningguang Town, Wuxi County, Chongqing City, and is divided into three roads, one to Zhenping County, Shaanxi Province, one to Zhuxi County, Hubei Province, and one to Chengkou County of Chongqing, with a total length of more than 400 kilometers. According to legend, it is the longest ancient plank road site in China.

The stone hole diameter of the plank road is six inches, the hole depth is two feet, the hole distance is five feet, and the upper and lower rows are arranged in the shape of "product". The upper row of wooden piles and planks are laid, and the lower row is supported by oblique triangles, forming a solid plank road. Who built this ancient plank road, why it was built, and how it was built, there are still different theories.

No, I've been to the Three Gorges.
