Construction site a second ago
The next second the archaeological site
It really feels like it's close to history in Xi'an
Above ground is Xi'an
Underground is Chang'an

At the archaeological site
Whether it's looking up at the ground
Or use a drone to look down from the sky
It is impossible to see that there is a large tomb here
It entered the sight of archaeologists
Let's start with a tomb robbery case many years ago...

My Government is through diplomatic channels
Negotiations were made in a timely manner
After many efforts
The six figurines returned to Xi'an in 2003
subsequently
The relevant departments have the origin of these 6 pottery figurines
An investigation was launched

In 2006
After it was determined that these clay figurines were from the ancient tomb of Gangchon

The results of the exploration surprised the archaeologists
There's one hidden here
A sub-type tomb with four burial passages
So, who is the owner of this tomb?
Further archaeological exploration was made
The total length of the east-west tomb road of Gangchon Tomb is 250 meters
In terms of tomb shape system, it belongs to the top configuration
Beyond the princesses and even the princes
Archaeologist Jiao Nanfeng:
We have a rule in archaeology
You have to have doubts
When you want to publish your article
You have to have a range of evidence
What I thought in my heart might be Baling
In fact, the conclusion was clear to everyone at that time
But through a series of tasks
to confirm this

Ma Yongyi, captain of the Hanling Archaeological Team
In an exclusive interview with reporters, he said
Because of the limitations of cultural relics protection technology
At present, there will be no excavation work on the tomb of Emperor Wen of Han
Protection will be the mainstay
"For future generations, there are ways to solve the problem of cultural relics protection."
Dig again."
What is the significance of the final confirmation of Baling?
Ma Yongyi said
After nearly 20 years of hard work
We found the real Han Dynasty Emperor's tomb
Emperor Wen of Han was in the reign of Wenjing
It was a very critical period in the social transformation of the Western Han Dynasty
Its imperial tomb system has also undergone corresponding development and evolution
The determination of the Baling
Fills the gap in this time period
meantime
Due to the location of the Han Emperor's mausoleum is determined
Solved the problem of the name of the eleven imperial tombs of the Western Han Dynasty

Emperor Wen of Han Liu Heng in history
Known for thriftiness and filial piety
Advocate thin burial
Experts from the Hailing Archaeological Team said
The Gangchon Tomb follows the imperial tomb system
But there is no sealing
Cemetery uses "stone enclosure"
A certain degree of labor savings
Funerary items currently unearthed
It is also inferior to the specifications of the mausoleum of her mother, Empress Bo
The tomb of Emperor Wen of Han was completely robbed of the limelight
