The State Administration of Cultural Heritage held an important progress work meeting on the major project of "Archaeology China" in Beijing on the 14th, and reported three important archaeological achievements such as the Jiangcun Tomb in Xi'an, Shaanxi.
Archaeologists conducted archaeological exploration of the Jiangcun Tomb in the eastern suburbs of Xi'an City, and carried out rescue excavations of some of its outer pits and funerary tombs.
According to the "Ya" glyph system of jiangcun tombs, high-standard funerary items such as clothed pottery figurines and copper seals of official offices, as well as the position relationship with the "Dou Empress Mausoleum" and "Bo Empress Mausoleum", experts believe that the "Phoenix Mouth" where the ancestral Han Wen Emperor's mausoleum is located is just a natural loess beam, and the newly discovered Jiangcun Tomb is the real Wen Emperor's tomb.
