Hubei Yiwangye cemetery area of 31 square meters, unearthed more than 5,000 pieces of gold and silver jewelry, experts: rich can be enemy of the country
Tomb robbers, also known as "Tufuzi", in the past war years, there were many people engaged in such industries, although the government officially banned, but repeatedly prohibited. The reason why such people have to lick blood on the tip of the knife is also because this line of profit is very profitable, and the small ancient tomb may hide the wealth of the enemy country.
For example, a tomb of a prince in Hubei, a mere 31 square meters, excavated cultural relics make experts feel amazing. So, what exactly is going on with this tomb?
In mid-April 2001, the Hubei Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology organized archaeologists to excavate the tomb of Liangzhuang Wang in Dahong Village, Changtan Town, Zhongxiang, and through excavation, archaeologists confirmed that it was a joint tomb of king and concubine. Because of its unique funeral customs, the funerary products in the burial chamber are extremely rich.
Among them, there are more than 1400 pieces of gold and silverware. In addition, the total number of porcelain, pottery, lacquer, wood, stone, bone, horns and other objects is more than 5300 pieces, and such a number of gold and silver jewelry will be buried in a tomb, which is very rare in the known tombs of ming princes, which can be said to be second only to the imperial tomb! This archaeological discovery is another important milestone after Dingling.
Archaeologists have also restored the tomb of King Liangzhuang after collecting a large number of materials from the tomb. The tomb of King Liangzhuang was supposed to be cast with an inner and outer garden, and there were ground buildings and underground palaces in the garden, but unfortunately time was merciless, and the tomb of King Liangzhuang, which had gone through vicissitudes and the destruction of nature, made the ground buildings in the park disappear, and perhaps only the remnants of bricks and tiles scattered on the ground showed that they had once had their own glory.
Zhu Zhan'an, the King of Liangzhuang, was the ninth son of Emperor Renzong Zhao, Zhu Gaozi, and his historical evaluation of this prince was quite friendly, saying that he was loyal and friendly.
There is also a story about him in history, in his palace there is a flattery named Kong Qin who treated King Liang Zhuang with repeated disrespect, and when the emperor learned of it, he was going to cure this sin of acceptance, and as a result, King Liang Zhuang took the initiative to ask for forgiveness, which became a good story for a while, but unfortunately, this famous prince only lived to the age of thirty and died of illness.
King Liangzhuang had three wives in his lifetime, the first was the concubine "Ji Shi", the second was the stepfather "Wei Family", and the third was the lady "Zhang Family", it is worth mentioning that in the tomb of King Liang Zhuang and the tomb of King Liang Zhuang was buried with the stepfather "Wei Family". Generally speaking, the royal family chose to be buried with their wives, while the king of Liangzhuang chose the stepfather, which seems to have a story.
As an ancient tomb with the highest grade, the most funerary products and the highest value among the tombs of the ming dynasty princes that can be found in the archaeological community, the tomb of King Liangzhuang has not been patronized by stolen tomb thieves. Are they not skilled enough? Or is it that the vision is not good enough? In fact, the tomb of King Liangzhuang has also experienced a lot of theft, but most of the cultural relics inside have been preserved, why is this?
Because this ancient tomb has been soaked in water for many years. After all, the reality is not the "Notes on Tomb Robbery" written by the Third Uncle of the Southern Sect, the tomb robbers will not bring diving tools to carry out underwater tomb robbery, coupled with some taboos and customs in traditional sayings, even if the tomb robbers who have experienced hundreds of battles can only sigh at these cultural relics.
Finally, the most surprising thing about the tomb of King Liangzhuang is that where did this prince collect so many jewels? Through appraisal and examination of history books, experts concluded that these jewels were brought back by Zheng He when he went to the West. Are you shocked that more than 5,000 cultural relics have been unearthed in the 31-square-meter burial chamber?
