China has a long history and culture, especially the ancient tomb culture, and these have also made a lot of contributions to our scientific research today, and our country has not advocated or even opposed the active excavation of imperial tombs, everyone should know the reason, the last century Guo Moruo mainly excavated the Ming Dynasty Wanli Emperor's Ding mausoleum, the result has caused many irreparable losses, resulting in a large number of precious cultural relics suffered from varying degrees of damage, some even have no way to repair. Therefore, after this incident, China will no longer take the initiative to excavate the mausoleum.
But before in 2005, another thing happened, so that the experts were furious, when a farmer in Zhumadian, Henan Province, was ready to build a new house for his family, and suddenly dug up an ancient tomb when laying the foundation, and this ancient tomb also had two red coffins inside, the news spread throughout the village in an instant, the villagers began to whisper, the two coffins are about 2 meters long, the entire coffin is big red, although buried under the bottom for a long time, But I feel that the red color is still very obvious when it is dug out, and the villagers feel that it is very strange that there is a bronze mirror in the middle of the coffin, and the superstitious villagers feel that these two coffins are too evil, and there is a legend in the countryside that if people are buried with red coffins after death, they will become ghosts, and the villagers began to panic, and the farmer who built the house was even more frightened, and immediately burned the two coffins.
At that time, the cultural relics department immediately organized personnel to come here after hearing this news, ready to carry out rescue excavations of this ancient tomb, when archaeologists spent more than a month to clean up the entire ancient tomb, according to the entire tomb experts judged that this ancient tomb should be a tomb between the Ming and Qing dynasties. Experts also found that this ancient tomb was not patronized by tomb robbers, and the funerary goods in the tomb were basically intact, and many precious funerary items were also available
And from the epitaph inside, the owner of this tomb should be more noble, and the two coffins that were burned are made of gold silk nan wood, and the golden silk nan wood is a kind of tree unique to China, from ancient times to the present, its price is relatively expensive, in ancient times, it is generally the emperor's relatives or important ministers who are qualified to use, and the price of the two coffins found this time is even higher, at least a few hundred million, after learning that the coffin was burned by farmers, experts can only sigh and say," Hey, burned hundreds of millions in vain." 。
