Some scholars, such as Xu, a member of the National Cultural Heritage Administration expert group, Yuan Jixi, a literary expert in Wei, Jin and Southern Dynasties, a doctor of history in Wei, Jin and Southern Dynasties in Beijing Normal University, and Ni, a scholar in the history of tomb robbery in China, hold controversial opinions on Cao Cao's tomb, but most of the skeptics are not from the archaeological community and are not authoritative.

Cao Cao does not exist, and the reflection of the Three Kingdoms is also false.
