Recently, Xi'an has been on fire.

Recently, the official announcement of the bailuyuan Jiangcun tomb in Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, is the tomb of emperor Wen of Han, which caused an uproar for a time.
The reason why this matter has such a high degree of attention is because of the owner of the tomb, Emperor Wen of Han. As the third emperor of the Han Dynasty and the emperor who opened the important prosperity of the Han Dynasty, the reign of Wenjing (the ruler of the early years of the Western Han Dynasty), Emperor Wen of Han himself had his own traffic.
If we say that the prosperity is prosperous, it is either open source or throttling, otherwise where is the financial resources?
It is understood that Emperor Wen of Han lived a very frugal life: clothes were not dragged, cars were not newly added, draperies were not embroidered, and the county was forbidden to contribute rare and exotic objects. As a result, the state's expenditure was moderated, and the aristocratic bureaucracy did not dare to be extravagant, thus reducing the burden on the people. This is extremely important for resuming production and opening up the boom.
The discovery of this archaeological site also verified the frugality of Emperor Wen of Han.
Although the reign of Wenjing lasted only 39 years, it had a great impact on the Han Dynasty, laying an important foundation for the extraordinary play of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
Another reason for the high degree of attention in this matter is that for a long time, the "Phoenix Mouth" was falsified by the Tomb of the Han Emperor, which is a thousand-year mystery to be solved, and the "Phoenix Mouth" that was previously mistaken for the Tomb of the Han Emperor and was a state security unit was about 2100 meters north of the real Han Wen Emperor Mausoleum.
Many netizens said that such an important mausoleum cannot be protected without excavation? In fact, this is also helpless.
In 2002, at an auction in the United States, six pieces of Western Han black pottery figurines stolen from the Jiangcun Tomb (the real Han Dynasty Emperor Mausoleum) appeared. Later, through diplomatic channels, the Chinese government made timely representations, and it was not auctioned.
Later, after many efforts, the 6 figurines returned to Xi'an in 2003. Subsequently, the relevant departments investigated the origin of the 6 pottery figurines, and finally determined that the tomb robbers excavated them from the Jiangcun Tomb.
In 2006, archaeologists conducted an archaeological survey of the Jiangcun Tomb and found that the specifications of the mausoleum were not ordinary, and they began to wonder if it would be Emperor Wen of Han.
Subsequently, the relevant departments conducted many years of investigation of the mausoleum and related investigations.
Excavations of the surrounding outer pits began in 2017, and it was only recently confirmed that it was the tomb of Emperor Wen of Han.

In fact, even if it is not destroyed by tomb robbers, the probability of the gangmura tomb being discovered is also there.
From the map, the Jiangcun Tomb is not far from the main city of Xi'an, and with the development of the city, it will be discovered sooner or later.
Therefore, whether from the perspective of protection or development, the excavation work is already on the string.
When it comes to archaeology, it can be said that it is too normal in Xi'an.
During the Spring Festival this year (2021), in order to ensure the progress of subway construction, the Xi'an Institute of Cultural Relics Protection and Archaeology organized personnel to stick to the archaeological site and stop work during the Spring Festival. Behind such a rush is this data:
There are 1574 ancient relics of various types, including 1356 ancient tombs and 4 ancient kilns.
Another thing, which was once a hot network: in March this year, the third phase of the expansion of Xi'an Xianyang Airport discovered more than 3,500 ancient tombs, and the construction site was changed to an archaeological base in seconds, and the construction team was replaced by an archaeological team.

In short, archaeology is crucial to the study of history and culture; urban development is also very important, and how to balance the relationship between the two is a major problem that Xi'an has always faced.
Xi'an has been doing well, and the archaeological work in the rapid development of the city has also been excellent.
