Archaeologists in Harbin rushed to the site immediately after learning the news, and after conducting surveys, they believed that the external damage to the tomb was serious and could not be recovered. So I wrote a detailed plan and handed it to the leaders above, hoping to carry out rescue excavations in this place.
Soon, the instructions of the superior leaders came down, "Allow excavations to be carried out while ensuring the safety of the ancient tomb." ”
When he saw these words, the archaeologist's heart was immediately put back into his stomach. After the arrival of high-tech equipment, excavations began for the cemetery.
Because the damage to the tomb is extremely serious, the anti-theft measures that were originally very tricky inside are useless in front of experts. The excavation process was very smooth, and after 13 days of hard work, the archaeological team finally entered the burial chamber smoothly.
The scene that came into view made everyone's hearts tremble a little, and it turned out that although this burial chamber was not large, there were not many funerary items in it. Looking around, there are 129 cultural relics with Qing Dynasty characteristics of gold and silverware, agate, jade, pottery tables, utensils, bowls, cups, pottery bracelets, pottery lamps, etc.
Through the records on the epitaph, archaeologists finally figured out the identity of the owner of the tomb, he was the general of the Jilin general in the Qianlong period, and the deputy capital of Alachuka (Harbin) ,??????? ????, Tong nourishes his heart.
Tong Yangxin was born into the Tong Jia clan of the Qing Dynasty nobles, but because his mother was Han, Tong Yangxin was not only not valued in the family, but also often scolded as a "wild breed" by the children of the powerful in the clan.
In the face of this series of difficulties and insults, Tong Yangxin did not think anything of it, and he studied the Four Books and Five Classics of the Han People and the Art of War and Strategy all day long, hoping that when he became an adult, he could rely on himself to break through the society.
In the twenty-first year of Qianlong, with the family's relationship and his own efforts, Tong Yangxin became the deputy governor of Alachuka (Harbin). Although this position seemed to the children of the powerful in the capital to be worse than those who swept the toilet, Tong Yangxin was very satisfied.
He took his mother away from the Tong family and took him to harbin to live. After that, except for returning to Beijing to report for duty, he rarely went back.
Fifty-eight years after Qianlong, Tong Yangxin died. According to his last wishes, his wife buried him on the outskirts of Harbin. However, in the end, contrary to Tong Yangxin's wish not to leave a single object in the tomb, his wife put in a large number of funerary items, reaching a staggering 129 pieces.
Among these 129 cultural relics, the most loved by experts is this golden knife. Its workmanship is exquisite, the materials are meticulous, and later according to the identification and evaluation of professionals, its value is about 10 million.
After digging it out, experts often take it with them, often muttering that it is a "good baby".
After 129 funerary items were shipped out, experts backfilled the cemetery.
