The most powerful evidence for the study of human history and civilization is the physical objects left behind by the various activities of the ancients and buried deep underground, and their appearance is far more reliable and shocking than written records. Archaeology as the only discipline for this purpose was criticized in ancient times, but with the continuous development of society, people gradually realized the great contribution of archaeology to human development. Those exquisite cultural relics and quaint classics have played an irreplaceable role in the temperature of our search for historical trajectories and touching history. In particular, the restoration of historical truth allows us to jump out of the words of a family under the interference of powerful forces and see what the prosperity of Qianqiu Songgong really looks like. The first to bear the brunt is the "rule of Wenjing", and the excavation of Baling just reveals the truth of this thousand beautiful talk.

When it comes to the "rule of Wenjing", the most familiar national policy is "the art of huang lao, recuperation and recuperation". It can be said that since the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty, people have suffered from hundreds of years of war, although there was no civil war after the unification of the Qin Dynasty, and the First Emperor had made great efforts to rule for more than ten years, but the second emperor died and the world was once again in chaos. There is no moment of social tranquility, there is no economic recovery, and people are still struggling to survive in a famine environment. The rule of Wenjing was born in such an environment and became the pursuit of all Ming Emperors for thousands of years. According to historical records, at that time, the carriage of Emperor Liu Bang had to be put together because of the inability to assemble four pure horses of one color for a while, and those founding heroes who galloped on the battlefield were only ox carts. As the king of a country, he can completely obstinately lead the life of an emperor who is arrogant and violent. He chose to be frugal and continued into the Wenjing period.
History records that Emperor Wen of Han was an emperor, but he lived an extremely simple life, with few additions to clothes, cars and horses were all simple, car draperies were not embroidered, and it was forbidden to contribute rare and exotic objects. The so-called upward and downward effects, in such a big environment, even if the desire is difficult to fill, most of them dare not be extravagant. In addition to setting an example by example, he also advocated "moralizing the people" and implemented the policies of "lightly dispensing with thin endowments" and "resting with the people." History records that he has twice "removed half of the land rent tax" and once once was completely exempt from the land rent. In the ancient times of his family, he was willing to share happiness and suffering with the people, and it is no wonder that such an emperor was rumored to be a beautiful talk through the ages. The excavation of the tomb of Emperor Wen of Baling also better confirms that what the historical records say is true.
The Baling unearthed the seal letter
The imperial tombs of basically every great power are magnificent to show their identity and status. However, the history books record that Emperor Wen's tombs "were all made of clay, not decorated with gold, silver, copper and tin, not to cure the grave, to be a province, not to annoy the people", which is undoubtedly a model of the prosperous Ming Emperor, who not only shared happiness and suffering during his lifetime, but also thought of saving the people after death.
Clay figurines unearthed from Baling
In fact, the discovery of Emperor Wen's mausoleum has indeed not piled up mountains of rare treasures, some are just thousands of painted dressed pottery figurines and various bronze vessels and seals that simulate the imperial court, which undoubtedly subverts our traditional understanding of the imperial tomb, while the gold objects found in the tomb of Emperor Wen's mother, Empress Bo, are very dazzling, which is in stark contrast to Emperor Wen's tomb.
Horse bones were unearthed from Baling
However, history has always questioned that Emperor Jingdi of Han did not follow Emperor Wen's will and was "not true", on the grounds that there are records in the Book of Jin that during the Jianxing period, tomb robbers stole many treasures from the Han Dynasty and Du Erling. This archaeological excavation also confirmed that Baling was indeed excavated during the Western Jin Dynasty, and a large number of funerary items were lost as a result. So whether there is really a "treasure" in this is unknown, after all, the three people into the tiger have long been unaware of the truth of the day, and some people think that the "treasure" stolen at that time may be the "treasure" in Empress Dou's mausoleum.
Baling unearthed gears
As far as the current archaeological excavations are concerned, except for the large amount of gold and silver in the tomb of Empress Bo, the rest is still mainly pottery, followed by bronze. The truth about Emperor Wen's thin burial seems obvious, and there is nothing to doubt about the emergence of a prosperous world under the reign of an emperor who has never changed his mind after a lifetime of frugality.
