What is the “4 no” will before Sima Yi’s death that makes posterity everyone say “worthy of the outstanding great man of the Three Kingdoms”?
Sima Yi (179 – 251) with the initials Trong Dat, was born and raised in a family of eight sons, living in Luoyang until the warlord Dong Zhuo took over and destroyed the city. then the whole family moved to Chang’an – the capital of a total of 13 dynasties in the history of China.
He was a politician, a military man of Cao Wei in the Three Kingdoms period in Chinese history. In addition, Sima Yi – the one who laid the foundation and played an important role for the Western Jin Dynasty, replaced the Cao Wei and unified the Three Kingdoms later.

Sima Yi has been careful all her life, patiently waiting for the opportunity to make great karma, creating a solid foundation for her descendants to build a fortune later.
During his lifetime, although Cao Cao always kept Sima Yi with him, he did not give him an important position. Before his death, Cao Cao also repeatedly advised his children to be careful with Sima Yi.
The strange will becomes a mysterious puzzle for posterity, showing Sima Yi’s superior wisdom
In 251, Sima Yi fell ill and died at the age of 73. When “near the earth, far from the sky”, he carefully arranged for his own afterlife and instructed his descendants to “4 no” to protect the family’s future.
– Do not set up gravestones
– Do not plant trees around
– Do not bury with cremation (valuable people and belongings)
– Do not go to the grave to worship
As Cao Wei’s powerful prime minister, Sima Yi should have been given a grand burial. But he chose to have a simple burial, no funeral items. This is strange indeed.
In particular, Sima Y also repeatedly advised his descendants not to clean the grave, surprising everyone for posterity. However, the talented military advisors of the Three Kingdoms period told their descendants to carry out the above will that turned out to have hidden meanings.

According to experts, it turns out that Sima Yi deliberately told his descendants not to clean his grave because of the bloody lesson in the past.
The strange arrangement of Sima Yi before his death is said to be related to the “turning of Cao Binh’s mausoleum”. This coup was also a major turning point in Sima Yi’s life. Specifically, in 249, Wei Emperor Cao Phuong along with Cao Sang – the god of the Wei Dynasty, went to Cao Binh’s mausoleum to pay respects to Emperor Minh’s grave. Using that opportunity, Sima Yi launched a coup d’etat, seized power in the capital Luoyang, and forced Cao Shuang to surrender.
The transformation of Cao Binh was the turning point for the Sima clan to officially take over all of Cao Wei’s power, step by step building the Jin dynasty, making the Cao emperor only in name.
Because he was an insider and experienced, Sima Yi was worried that others would follow suit and told his descendants not to go to his grave for fear that the enemy might take advantage of that opportunity to carry out a coup. causing the Sima clan to decline, even perish.
In addition, Sima Y spent her whole life supporting and enduring 3 generations of the Cao family, as a conspirator. He once made many merits for the Cao Wei dynasty. In life, although he was extremely careful, hiding himself and waiting for his time, Sima Yi also offended countless people. Therefore, it is also extremely important to consider the burial place carefully to avoid falling prey to enemy retaliation.
If later on, the descendants of Sima Yi could not keep the inheritance, then even if he rests in a prestigious mausoleum, it is certainly inevitable that the tribulation will be “destroyed and destroyed”. Spending by arranging some things in advance to have long-term peace.
The sudden death of his rival Zhuge Liang is also a hint for Sima Yi to come up with a last resort in his life. In the past, Zhuge Liang left a will that for the person carrying his coffin, where the rope was broken, it would be buried there. It is true that no one has found Zhuge Liang’s burial place.
However, Sima Yi did not imitate Zhuge Liang’s burial plan, but instead, secretly chose a flat land on Thu Duong mountain, instructing his descendants not to build graves, not to set up steles, and not to set up steles. buried with any property and especially without sacrifice.
Moreover, not planting around the grave to avoid attracting attention. On the other hand, during the Three Kingdoms period, tomb theft was rampant. In the past, it was Cao Cao who broke into the royal tombs to appropriate the wealth inside for military expenses. Therefore, the fact that Sima Yi told his descendants not to bury any property also avoids reckless thieves searching and breaking in.

Sima Yi’s scheme for his posterity was indeed very effective. Because of the strange “4 no” tomb, the search is really like “searching for a needle in the bottom of a haystack”. For more than a thousand years, where Sima Yi is buried is still an indecipherable mystery in history.
There is a saying “Without foresight, there must be anxiety ahead”. But for a visionary like Sima Yi, everything was carefully calculated and arranged by him. Sima Yi has been good at plotting all his life, not expecting even death, he also arranges for his own rest. Truly a profound scheme, master!
