China has always attached great importance to traditional culture and moral concepts. Digging someone else's ancestral grave must have a deep hatred. If you are in a hurry, you may point to the other person's nose and swear: your ancestral grave has been planed! I saw a news in Yibin, Sichuan province before, saying that the police had cracked an ancient tomb robbery, and the reason surprised me. Wang Xing's two cousins actually dug the graves of their ancestors. In order to pay off the debts owed by gambling, another of them even laid hands on the graves of their ancestors. Later, the People's Court of pingshan county, Yibin City, according to the facts and circumstances of the defendants' crimes, sentenced nine defendants to fixed-term imprisonment ranging from five months to eleven years, and fined them.
when I saw this news, my first reaction was to feel that I was too rebellious and ruined my three views.
actually, you can find many similar news by searching. The reason seems to be as real as "digging others is better than digging yourself". Of course, some people may be encouraged by others. "This belongs to your ancestors, but also to future generations. It's nothing to eat a little. Anyway, it is your own business. " Moreover, some confused netizens shouted for these grave robbers, saying that "it feels unfair, and the funerary objects of ancestors should be owned by future generations." It's so ignorant.
I have found n related laws and regulations about this kind of thing, I hope you can have a good understanding.
Article 5 of the Law on the Protection of Cultural Relics stipulates:
All cultural relics left in People's Republic of China (PRC)'s underground, inland waters and territorial waters belong to the state.
sites of ancient culture, ancient tombs and cave temples belong to the state. Immovable cultural relics such as memorial buildings, ancient buildings, stone carvings, murals and modern representative buildings designated by the state belong to the state unless otherwise stipulated by the state.
the ownership of state-owned immovable cultural relics does not change with the change of the ownership or use right of the land to which it is attached.
Article 328 of the Criminal Law stipulates:
Whoever excavates ancient cultural sites and ancient tombs with historical, artistic and scientific value shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years and shall also be fined; If the circumstances are relatively minor, they shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance, and shall also be fined; Under any of the following circumstances, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than 1 years or life imprisonment, and shall also be fined or confiscated. (1) Excavating ancient cultural sites and ancient tombs that have been designated as national key cultural relics protection units and provincial cultural relics protection units; (two) the ringleaders of the theft and excavation of ancient cultural sites and ancient tombs; (three) repeatedly excavating ancient cultural sites and ancient tombs; (four) excavating ancient cultural sites and ancient tombs, stealing precious cultural relics or causing serious damage to precious cultural relics. Whoever excavates ancient human fossils and ancient vertebrate fossils with scientific value protected by the state shall be punished in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph.
Article 79 of the General Principles of the Civil Law stipulates:
Buried objects and hidden objects with unknown ownership shall be owned by the state. The receiving unit shall give praise or material rewards to the units or individuals turned over.
To sum up, we can know that our ancestral graves belong to our country's immovable underground cultural relics, not our own homes, and all underground cultural relics belong to the country. Even our ancestral graves, future generations have no right to dig them. And as we all know, as long as you rob an ancient tomb or site, whether it is your ancestral grave or not, you have violated the law, constituted a crime, and should bear criminal responsibility.
as the saying goes, a gentleman loves money and takes it wisely. We need to pass on our China culture all the time. It is necessary for us to protect historical sites and not to do illegal things because of our own selfish interests.
