Japanese monks came to the ancient city of Lop Nur and cut out a priceless treasure from the crack in the wall
In the northeast of Xinjiang, China, there is a wasteland called Lop Nur where the climate environment is very cruel, and the natural environment is also very harsh, so this place is also known as the Sea of Death.
But there are still many scientists staring at this place, the first reason is the history of this place, this place had a large natural lake during the Western Han Dynasty.
However, the lake here is reduced year by year for many reasons, and then it bottoms out, and then it becomes a no-man's land, which can be used as the object of study of the Earth's climate change.
The second reason is that the Silk Road is going through here, this place was very prosperous during the two dynasties of The Han and Wei Dynasties, there are many historical relics here, and many archaeologists will come to this place.
Foreign countries invaded Chinese mainland during the Qing Dynasty, and the Lop Nur Expedition began in 1876, and delegations from many countries came here to study, and they took a lot of treasures from here.
Later, Japan also began to rob cultural relics war, Japan's Otani Mitsurui saw that other countries had received a lot of treasures, so he formed a team in 1902 also came to China to steal.
Mitsurui Otani formed a second expedition in 1908, and he placed Tachibana, whom he trusted very much, when he was only eighteen years old.
They arrived at their destination at the beginning of 1909, and they searched there for a long time, but they were not professionals, so the results can be imagined.
In March 1909, the nineteen-year-old Tachibana Ruichao came to the Yamen of the Han And Wei Dynasty with a minfu, but after a long time, it became the current three rooms. But Tachibana Ruichao found nothing, and he found several pieces of shredded paper full of Chinese characters written on the wall.
Tangerine Ruichao let Li Bai's document appear in front of the world, and the author of this document was Li Bai, who was an official of the former Liang Kingdom.
Zhao Zhen launched a rebellion in 328 AD, and Li Bai sent troops to quell the rebellion, and before he set out, he wrote a distress letter to the king of the Yanqi kingdom in the western region, this Li Bai document was the draft of the time, and this paper was hidden for more than a thousand years.
This document is of great historical reference value, and through which it can study the development history of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Western Regions, which is the most precious thing, but this document was taken away by Tachibana Ruichao and is now placed in the library of Ryugu University in Kyoto, Japan.
