In the excavation of the southern mausoleum of Empress Bo, the mother of Emperor Wen of Han, archaeologists excavated 3 outer pits on the west side of the sealed soil, unearthed hundreds of gold and silver jewelry with exotic decorative styles, and Buried a large number of rare gold artifacts with grassland style. On December 14, the Shaanxi Provincial Archaeological Research Institute and other units released the latest archaeological results of the Western Han Emperor Mausoleum Project.
Xi'an Bailuyuan Jiangcun Tomb is the Western Han Dynasty Xiaowen Emperor Liu Heng's mausoleum, not far from the Jiangcun Tomb, the excavation of the Southern Tomb of Empress Bo, the mother of Emperor Wen of Han, archaeologists excavated 3 outer pits on the west side of the sealed soil, unearthed hundreds of gold and silver jewelry with exotic decorative styles, and Empress Bo buried a large number of rare gold artifacts in the grassland style.
Through the analysis of the craftsmanship and appearance characteristics of the gold ware, archaeologists speculate that it may be related to the origin of the "Daiwang" in the early years of Emperor Wen of Han. The gold vessel comes from a daiguo bordering the steppe, which can be speculated to prove that exchanges between the Central Plains and the steppe had been established before the opening of the Silk Road.
The true location of the Tomb of Emperor Wen of Han has been confirmed, which is inseparable from the theft of the tomb of the "Lady Hook Yi" of the concubine of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty. "Lady Hook Yi" is the concubine of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty and the mother of Liu Fuling of the Han Zhao Emperor, whose tomb is Han Yunling, located in the west of Daquta Village, Tiewang Town, Chunhua County, Xianyang City, Shaanxi Province.
According to the data, the 11 emperors who reigned in the Western Han Dynasty were Liu Bang of han Gaozu, Liu Ying of Han Hui, Liu Heng of Han Wen, Liu Qi of Han Jing, Liu Che of Han Wu, Liu Fuling of Han Zhao, Liu Qing of Han Xuan, Liu Yi of Han Yuan, Liu Xiao of Han Cheng, Liu Xin of Han, and Liu Yan of Han Ping.
According to Shaanxi News, not far from the Jiangcun Tomb, in the excavation work of the Southern Tomb of Empress Bo, the mother of Emperor Wen of Han, archaeologists excavated 3 outer pits on the west side of the sealed soil, and unearthed hundreds of gold and silver jewelry with exotic decorative styles, which came from the daiguo bordering the grassland, which can be speculated to prove that exchanges between the Central Plains and the grasslands had been established before the opening of the Silk Road.
Regrettably, however, this archaeological achievement was "driven" by a disgraceful group for thousands of years: grave robbers.
Through meticulous excavation and careful analysis, the archaeologists judged that the "Jiangcun Tomb" was the tomb of Emperor Wen of Han. The other two projects are the ruins of Zhengpingfang in Luoyang City, Sui and Tang Dynasties, and the latest research results from the tombs of the Tuguhun royal family in the Tang Dynasty found in Wuwei, Gansu.
Jiangcun Tomb is located at the western end of Bailuyuan in the eastern suburbs of Xi'an, about 800 meters northeast is the Mausoleum of Empress Dou, about 2000 meters southwest of the Southern Tomb of Empress Bo, and about 2100 meters north is the "Phoenix Mouth" location where the former state security unit Baling is located.
Experts said that this archaeological work has determined the accurate location of the tomb of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty and solved the problem of the name of the eleven imperial tombs of the Western Han Dynasty. The structural layout of the Double Mausoleum, the Imperial Tomb Center, and the Outer Hidden Pit shows obvious differences with the Ancestral Tomb of Han Gao and the Mausoleum of Emperor Hui of Han, which lays the foundation of the imperial tomb system in the middle and late Western Han Dynasty, and is of great significance to the in-depth study of the imperial tomb system in ancient China.
