In the slow river of history, China has experienced one era after another, every inch of land under our feet has had different people walking, time and shadow have wandered, everyone will return to the dust, those princes will be the room of nobles, but only left a mausoleum, and the countless funerary goods in the tomb are naturally red-eyed, thus creating the emergence of tomb robbers.
In history, there have been many emperors whose tombs have been stolen and dug, no matter how noble and rich they were before they died, as long as there are many burial goods, it is inevitable that the stolen tomb thieves will be remembered. Known to all of us, such as Lafayette in the late Qing Dynasty, he was the one who dominated the world before he was born, but after his death, he could not be at peace and suffered humiliation. Examples abound.
One of the tombs was stolen, but it looked very different, because in order to find out the identity of the owner of the tomb, the archaeologists had a lot of brains. Located outside the village of Pangliu in Xi'an City, this earthen tomb, which looks like a naturally formed earthen mountain from a distance, is 19 meters high and has a circumference of 50 meters. Listening to the old man in the village, it seems to be a tomb underneath, and over the years, this tomb has been stolen by many large and small people, the most serious one was the one in 2004.
Grave robbers were rampant, openly digging with machine guns and explosives, and controlling villagers from going out to call the police. This is actually very strange, because in 2004, China's security was already very good. To dare to dig a grave with a gun so openly is bold enough. No one knows exactly how many artifacts they stole from it, but villagers say they were controlled for days and that they heard the sound of many large trucks.
Afterwards, the relevant departments that received the villagers' reports rushed to the rescue of the grave. The tomb has long been a mess, the tomb robbers have taken away a lot of valuable things, only some ceramic clay pots and other things they do not look at have been excavated. During the excavation, the archaeologists were surprised to find that the identity of the owner of this tomb was certainly not ordinary.
From the perspective of specifications, the shape of this tomb belongs to the Tang Dynasty period, and the identity of the owner of the tomb is at least a Marquis level, and then they found that there are seven patios in the tomb, for the patio, people have always said differently, some people say that the patio represents the city gate, this statement was quickly broken, because many tombs have singular patios, China is a country that pays attention to symmetry and beauty.
If it were a city gate, there would never be a singular number. In addition, there are also statements such as transporting soil, etc., in any case, the number of patios can be used as a consideration to determine the identity of the tomb owner. However, there are so many patios, more than the tomb of the prince of Wu Zetian's son, which emperor, but according to historical records, all 18 emperors of the Tang Dynasty were buried in the Guanzhong Plain, which really caused archaeologists a headache.
At this moment, an old man in the village found them and claimed that he might know the identity of the owner of the tomb, and under the leadership of the old man, they found a tombstone not far from the mausoleum, which contained the epitaph of a palace maid. It is written on the tombstone that he was originally a close palace maid of Concubine Wu Huifei, because Princess Fukasawa Wu Huifei liked to be buried next to her after death, and it took so much effort, the identity of the owner of the mausoleum gradually emerged, and archaeologists found some fragments of broken porcelain with the word Zhenshun written on the tomb.
From this, it can be concluded that he is the tomb of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang.wuhuifei. A few years later, with the assistance of the Chinese public security, a sarcophagus carved from Han white jade was recovered, which was very heavy, weighing 27 tons, and was the heaviest national treasure currently unearthed in China. In the Tang Dynasty, perhaps only empress-level figures had such treatment, which shows that Tang Xuanzong was very fond of her, although she was only a concubine, she still enjoyed the treatment of an empress.
