The Huanghuang Han Dynasty, the history of the wind and clouds, and how many imperial affairs are all in the mausoleum, and the tomb of the Han Wen Emperor was discovered, revealing a big lie.

That is, the rumors that Emperor Wen of Han were buried in the mouth of the phoenix were broken without attack.
Previously, people have always believed that this raised phoenix mouth is the tomb of Emperor Wen of Han, this active in the archaeological community, almost conclusive fact has been completely overturned, discarded in the long river of history, will redefine the location of the owner of the Jiangcun Tomb and the tomb of Emperor Wen of Han, from the top configuration and shape of the mausoleum, the "Ya" type of tomb is more imperial.
Sub-type imperial tomb shape
Xi'an is worthy of being a thousand-year-old capital, leaving an underground culture in the process of vicissitudes and great changes, only traces of historical civilization - funerary tomb culture, there are China's first mausoleum, the Yellow Emperor Mausoleum, the pre-Qin Emperor Mausoleum, the World Wonder Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum, the Western Han Eleventh Mausoleum, the Tang Eighteenth Mausoleum, Wu Zetian Tomb...
Xi'an, the ancient capital city, is full of historical half-city tombs.
Of course, history sometimes has scars, tombs are no exception, often tomb robbers are one step ahead of archaeology, then the Han Wen Emperor's tomb has not been stolen, this Han Dynasty emperor who has the rule of Wenjing and advocates funerals from Jane, the tomb is not very simple, how was this tomb found? What impact can the discovery of the mausoleum have on the world today?
With these questions in mind, we comb through and understand the life of Emperor Wen of Han and the excavation process of his tombs, as well as the historical years that archaeologists have traveled.

How was the tomb of Emperor Wen of Han found?
The earliest discoverer of the tomb of Emperor Wen of Han was a tomb robber, but in history, many people think that the tomb of Emperor Wen of Han is not worth stealing, there is almost no value, it is impossible to commit the crime of robbing the tomb, just in the Three Kingdoms period, the famous tomb robbery master Cao Someone, are not interested in the tomb of this emperor, so there is no detailed record of the tomb of Emperor Han Wen in the future history, of course, history does not know where the tomb of Emperor Han Wendi is.
But in 2002, when there were tomb robbers with 6 pieces of Western Han Black Clay Figurines in the United States auctioned, this matter alarmed domestic archaeologists, in order to protect cultural relics, the Chinese government made representations, at that time it was determined that these auctioned cultural relics, that is, stolen from the Bailuyuan Jiangcun Tomb, is the Western Han Dynasty pottery figurines, and finally returned to Zhao and returned to the homeland of Xi'an.

At this point, from the White Deer Plains Gangchon Tomb has become a key course for archaeologists, 4 years later, the archaeological team conducted archaeological investigation and analysis of the local area, the results are surprising, this flat farmland does not have any tall mounds or signs of graves, but hides an ancient tomb.
It is reasonable to say that the ancients paid attention to feng shui, large mausoleums have natural characteristics and signs, there are dragons and tigers in the mountains and rivers, left green dragons and right white tigers, out of the water surface is complete, especially the imperial tomb is very obvious, and this flat land up to 250 meters long tomb, obviously not the general dignitaries, not the emperor of the king, archaeologists began to analyze and study the owner of the tomb.
Through a large number of archaeological work such as research, survey, excavation, etc., after more than ten years, a conclusion was finally reached, which was announced by the State Administration of Cultural Heritage on December 14, 2021.
The Great Tomb of Bailuyuan Jiangcun in Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, is the tomb of Emperor Wen of Han.

Emperor Wen of Han in history.
Speaking of Emperor Wen of Han, this person is controversial in history.
According to the ancient imperial succession etiquette and customs, after the death of the emperor, his heirs succeeded to the throne, and after the death of the young emperor, the son did not succeed to the throne, but the emperor's uncle Emperor Wen of Han became the emperor, so that later there was a rebellion of the kings, it seems that it is indeed unconvinced, but this person is a good fate, and he is confused to become the emperor.
The discovery of this tomb may once again perfect the image of this emperor, with two assumptions:
1, if the tomb is magnificent, then he is also a duplicitous person. Thriftiness and funeral from Jane are just slogans.
2, if there is really nothing, there are two possibilities, one is to be stolen, and the other is that Emperor Wen of Han has indeed confirmed his life of thrift and thrift, all of which are inseparable from his own encounters.
Emperor Wen of Han was the son of Liu Bang, and also the child of Liu Bang and Cao Bao's wife, who left the dragon breed after a night of pampering, that is, the later Emperor Wen of Han, after Liu Bang's death, the Lü clan successively came to power, killing a lot of loyal and Liu Bang's concubines, only this mother and son escaped a disaster, the reason is very simple, that is, Emperor Wen of Han's mother has never seen Liu Bang since that night, He Lai's favor, mother and son rely on each other for their lives, keep to themselves, because of the poor life, formed a personal cultivation and habits, but also learned a lot of governing strategies and tactics , will govern one side quite well.

At that time, the imperial court took Emperor Wen of Han to become emperor, Emperor Wen of Han was happy to descend from heaven, and did not believe at all, because how to calculate his turn, but it was himself, half-convinced and only took six people to Weiyang Palace, until the yellow robe was added, Fang knew that he was the real emperor, at that time, every time he went to the dynasty, Emperor Wen of Han watched the ministers leave, of course, because of the emperor's hard work, there was the rule of Wenjing.
For this emperor has several questions, the first is how he called the emperor, history has no record, Liu Bang's heirs are many, the strength of other kings are relatively strong, it is precisely this generation of kings who have nothing, it is the love of a group of courtiers, but also the consensus after the game between the heroes, it is such a coincidence, let him achieve a great cause, left a name through the ages.
The second is why this emperor was not buried in Changling, where did his tomb go, and why is there no record in history?
This question now has an answer, as for why I did not know before, because the simplicity of this emperor is admired by the world, but also the characteristics and image of a generation of emperors, the "History" clearly records that Emperor Wen of Han did not rule the tomb, indicating that after his death, he no longer made a big fuss about funeral and labor, and the thin burial of Baling became a good story, and few people paid attention to his tomb.

Archaeological processes and discoveries.
Archaeologists have begun archaeological research on the Jiangcun Tombs, a total of 115 pits have been found, a lot of copper carriages and horses have been unearthed, the gear shape is world-class, as well as official seals, as well as colored pottery figurines, the archaeological process and excavation help us understand the han dynasty funerary culture, as well as the level of craftsmanship and social culture at that time, including the technological process at that time, so that people can better familiarize themselves with and understand the wisdom of ancient people, and how the feudal social hierarchy created different funerary customs.
It is reasonable to say that Emperor Wen of Han should be in the lower left of Liu Bang's mausoleum, but in this place, it can be seen that filial piety culture is not very important to Emperor Wen of Han, more mysteries will surface, as to whether the main tomb can be opened, let the world see the style, but also need archaeologists to carefully study, once there is a major discovery, it will naturally be the first time through media reports.
