In a small mountain village in Inner Mongolia, the "ground shakes the mountain", and the archaeological team excavated the tomb of the noble concubine, which is on a par with the Marquis of Haixia
In Inner Mongolia, there is a small mountain village called Xiaowangligou, which is at the junction of Yanshan Mountain and Mongolian steppe, so it is surrounded on three sides by lower hills, which look like a chair from a distance. Once, a person who knew feng shui very well said that this is a treasure land of feng shui, and this small mountain village is a pearl on this chair.
One night in 2015, the village names were quietly asleep, when suddenly there were several loud noises in the mountains, and then they began to shake. Many villagers said that it felt like an earthquake.
After dawn, the name of the village went up the mountain to check, and when he reached the mountain, he saw a large hole, so for the safety of the whole village, the village leaders immediately reported it. After the archaeological team in Inner Mongolia received the news, they immediately sent many people to the village to check it out. Unexpectedly, after arriving there, I found that there was an ancient tomb underground. The sounds heard by the villagers at night were left behind by the tomb robbers who blew up the tomb.
Therefore, the archaeologists immediately carried out an emergency rescue here, and after half a year, a noble tomb of the Liao Dynasty that was still very well protected was displayed in front of us. The tomb is about 40 meters long, and experts say that the owner of the tomb is likely to be a member of the royal family.
During the cleaning, an epitaph made of white jade was found, on which were engraved the inscriptions of the late noble concubine Xiao Xuantang. According to these words, historians have found that this tomb is the noble concubine of the Liao Emperor Xiao. And this noble concubine's background is also very strong, she is the granddaughter of Empress Xiao of the Great Liao.
According to what is recorded in this epitaph, Xiao Guifei's clan is the most prominent, and her maternal grandfather was once a great general of the Liao State. According to the existing historical data, in the history of the Liao family for more than 100 years, five people are empresses, and more than 10 people have the title of prince.
A total of nearly 10,000 artifacts have been found in this tomb. Among them, silver gilt hollow phoenix pattern high wing crown, gold flower silver hollow phoenix pattern high tassel boots, gold inlaid jade dragon pattern jade waist and other things can only be used in the royal family. Now these things have been identified as national cultural relics. In addition to these things, a lot of porcelain was also found in this tomb, and these porcelains were also used in the imperial palace. And through the study of this epitaph, experts have also solved a suspicious case.
