Looking for Realistic Tomb-Raiding Novels
Something like *The Grave Robbers' Chronicles: Notes from the Northern School*. Nothing with a System, please. Make it feel real! Real! Real! Ideally, the writing should make it seem like the author has actually robbed tombs. Even better if they’ve been inside one 😏

Recommendations for Treasure-Hunting and Exploration Novels
Looking for a Rebirth Story About Getting Rich, Collecting Antiques, and Buying Siheyuan and Western-Style Houses
Looking for a rebirth novel where the protagonist slowly builds a fortune, then buys courtyard houses and villas once they're rich. They should also contribute a lot to the country while developing the economy.
Looking for a More Realistic Archaeology and Tomb-Raiding Novel
Nothing involving ancient mythical beasts, blood corpses, or other unrealistic stuff. I remember reading one that was something like The Heavenly Eye, mainly about using keys to unlock mechanisms and such.

The Best Antique Appraisal Novels
I personally think appraising antiques requires a wealth of knowledge, not just about ancient China. You also need some understanding of ancient India, ancient Egypt, ancient Babylon, and even more recent history. Otherwise, if I show you a wax-sealed envelope and you call it a modern craft, that's just ridiculous, isn't it?
Tomb Raiding
Set during the Nine Gates era. I remember one chapter where the protagonist led some people out and ran into Wu Xie's uncle's team. His uncle even gave the protagonist a few dishes. I accidentally deleted the book when clearing out my library and forgot its title.

A golden boot from the Liao Dynasty serves as an introduction, leading to the exciting plot that follows, including antiques, tomb robbing, fighting, and more grievances and hatreds! The protagonist Zhang Wenlong was born in a poor family and almost starved to death. Fortunately, Liu Ye rescued him and saved his life. Liu Ye accepted him as his apprentice and taught him various antique knowledge. Lao Li adopted him as his adopted son and taught him Bajiquan and other kung fu! In order to save his friend's life, Master Liu had to go south to Jinling to seize another golden boot. Zhang Wenlong volunteered to sneak into the Chen Mansion, a family of tomb robbers, to find out where the other golden boot was hidden in the secret room. Afterwards, a series of fierce conflicts began around the Chen Mansion, the resourcefulness, scheming and personality charm of the Sixth Master and the Second Master Chen. Zhang Wenlong has a new love, is brave and kind. Yu Meng, Liang Feng, Cha Gan and others are highly skilled in martial arts and are not afraid of death. The ambition and bottom line of Chen Long, the head of the Chen Mansion. And the son-in-law of the Chen family, He Zhifu, He Qianyuan, in order to advance in the official career, kidnapped his nephew, Chen Erye's son, in an attempt to kidnap and extort him, and he was even vicious and had no bottom line. The author listened to Taigong's narration and recorded this period of the past. Let us follow Zhang Wenlong's perspective, grow step by step, and uncover the magnificent historical picture step by step.
Wonderful! There are many plots that are different from other tomb-robbing novels. You can feel the protagonist's experience while reading the story. It has a strong sense of immersion and is worth reading. Readers who like this type of novel are recommended to collect and read it!
The novel is very well written, with a touching storyline, vivid characters, and a strong visual sense. The author uses stories to describe human nature, and his psychological descriptions are true and delicate, and can resonate with readers! Informative, entertaining and integrated, every word is precious and every sentence is a classic! A rare novel... The author is a talented author with a wealth of knowledge about antiques alone. He clearly explains the age, attributes, origins and characteristics of antiques, allowing readers to feel the precious value, elegance and beauty of antiques. "Telling Things with Treasures" has real fighting scenes and concise language, sometimes making people laugh and sometimes making people praise it. Moreover, the author is rich in emotions and has a kind heart. The two little white snakes in the tomb are very cute. The rescue process of the kidnapped child Wen Zhao is very heart-warming and touching. "When he got to the child, Master Chen found out that it was really his son. He was so excited! He gently picked up his son, Wen Zhao was still sleeping soundly and did not wake up... The novel was still full of meaning and anxious. The guards were all drunk and staggering around, but the governor was suspicious. What should I do? Can I still get on the boat? [Laughing]
This is a top-notch book. The author describes an antique world where love, hatred, and interests are entangled, and reveals the unknown secrets and legends of the world of tomb robbing. The author has a very high level of writing, smooth writing style, and a strong sense of story. At the same time, the author has a very rich knowledge reserve, whether it is antiques, tomb robbing, history, kung fu, martial arts, worldly relations, social and political landscape, etc., Etc., Etc., Which can be easily picked up, making the whole book look very solid.
The plot is linked one by one, with progressive development and relaxation. It can be seen that Zhang Wenlong is slowly growing up from a child. It is human nature to be timid during the growth process. It is interesting to watch the process of a person from being weak to gradually becoming stronger. Human greed, desire, and fear are vividly depicted. From the first chapter to the end of the story of the Golden Boot, I witnessed Zhang Wenlong grow from a mountain boy to an adult with a mind and a heart. They say that everything in a person's life is destined. However, after reading the author's book, you can find that the so-called destiny actually depends on whether a person seizes opportunities and has the ability to grasp wealth. No one relies on the pie falling from the sky, and they are fully prepared by themselves. The Golden Boot part is over, and Cha Gan has returned to the grassland. When watching this part, there is always a feeling that the song has come to an end. Fortunately, the story is still going on. Next, I will follow the author to salvage the sunken ship in the South China Sea. I look forward to it...
A very good ancient tomb novel. The author is very knowledgeable. In particular, the author's depiction of human nature is extremely detailed. It is one of the rare masterpieces in recent years. I must recommend it! [Like][Like][Like]
The article expresses the heart directly, the writing style is smooth, the plot is twists and turns, and the conception is rigorous. Reading the joyful grievances and hatreds in the book reminds us of the world that we have long forgotten. The author is erudite and wise, with rich knowledge of antiques. I learned a lot from the book.
The author should be very proficient in antique knowledge. The identification and description of antiques in the article are very thorough, and he is a master.
The story uses antiques as an introduction to unfold a series of exciting plots, which are full of exciting elements and yet humorous. Overall, this is a great book worth reading, and I give it a five-star high recommendation.
I've been thinking about the meaning of the idiom "The article is like the person", and I probably found some answers in this novel. If you read it carefully, readers will see the author's world view, way of thinking and attitude in the world. Several important characters in the article have some similarities in personality. They are like one person split into several people, and they are like one person who brings together the characteristics of several people. They are both independent and mutually successful, and there will be a warm and moist feeling in your heart while reading. The author's writing style is like old wine that has been brewing for a long time and finally it's time to open it. Good article worth recommending!
