Qianling Mausoleum was the only one among the eighteen mausoleums in Guanzhong during the Tang Dynasty that had not been robbed. According to historical records and field archaeological investigations, the structure of the tomb and underground palace of Qianling Mausoleum was intact, and no new holes were found. Although there had been many incidents of tomb theft in Qianling Mausoleum, due to its construction method and tight closed structure, grave robbers were unable to dig into the tomb, making it extremely difficult to dig. Therefore, Qianling Mausoleum had not been successfully looted so far.
There is a dispute about whether Qianling Tomb was stolen. Some experts believed that Qianling Tomb was the only one among the eighteen tombs in Guanzhong of the Tang Dynasty that had not been stolen. They pointed out that the anti-theft facilities of Qianling Tomb were so strong that thieves could not open it in a short time. The tombs of Qianling Mausoleum were all sealed with stone strips, pulled with iron bolts or iron rods, and then cast with white iron to connect the stone strips into one. In addition, the Qianling Underground Palace was chiseled in the middle of the stone mountain. It was very difficult to dig a new hole into the underground palace instead of the tomb path. Other scholars believed that Qianling might have been robbed. An engineer involved in the exploration of Qianling believed that Qianling might have been robbed, but he did not provide conclusive evidence. At present, there was still no clear conclusion as to whether Qianling Tomb had been robbed or not. The advancement of science and technology may provide more possibilities to solve the mystery of Qianling Mausoleum, but it is currently impossible to determine whether Qianling Mausoleum has been stolen.

Literature [2] also mentioned that Qianling Tomb was the only one among the eighteen tombs of the Tang Dynasty that had not been robbed. In addition, literature [3] and literature [5] also mentioned that Qianling was the only imperial tomb that had not been stolen. Although Literature [6] and Literature [9] mentioned that Qianling had experienced some grave robbing incidents, they did not clearly state that Qianling had been robbed. Therefore, we can't confirm that Qianling Mausoleum has already been robbed.
